First we crossed the road and walked over to the Marina floating platform. This is our first time coming up close to the platform, which had held our National Day parade for the past few years.
From here we can have a very clear view of the IR. Actually, there are still a lot of constructions going on in the IR.
Next we walked to the newly opened Helix Bridge, which is a pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre with Marina South in the Marina Bay area. The bridge is expected to be a focal point for the community, linking cultural, recreational and entertainment facilities in the area and complements the overall pedestrian scheme of Marina Bay. The bridge also functions as a gallery where children's paintings and drawings are exhibited for public viewing.
It was a hot day and after walking for quite a distance, Jerlene was so tired and we took a rest at an extended platform along the bridge. It's actually time for her afternoon nap. I persuaded her to go into her stroller instead of carrying her. We continued our "journey" to the IR, which took us quite a while as the pathway was congested with people.
By the time we reached the shopping mall of the IR, we were super tired. At this moment, there are still a lot of shops not open yet.
At the end of the mall is a big open promenade. There is an artistic big bowl structure, which I heard is a Rain Oculus. But it’s far from being complete. It’s supposed to, when they actually pump water in it, will create a whirlpool-like effect that people below can see.
From the promenade, we had a nice view of the Central Business District (CBD) skyline. Btw, what do you think the following shot looks like? Amazing architectural combination......isn't it? :P
There was nothing much to do at this moment so my advice for those who had not been there, wait till it's fully completed....unless you are going to try your luck at........
