Shoppes@MBS part 2 and Aggie! :D

Whoa whoa whoa...19 days without updating? My, that is really a while.

The reason is because I was really, really busy. I've just finished a class presentation (which was epic win) today, and I've to prepare for another one this coming Monday. At the same time, I'm also handling my lecture summaries, practicing excessive piano (and I'm glad my Beethoven sonata is actually picking up speed and accuracy), making sure everything's organised, finishing and editing assignments (which are going to drive me psychotic anytime now)......the list goes on.

Nevertheless, I've managed to squeeze in some time for 3 Aggie mini-photoshoots. Here are some of the pictures accumulated over them:

Photoshoot 1: "Automobile Aggie" (simply because she was a poser on someone's bright red car)









Photoshoot 2: Just a general Aggie photoshoot...






Photoshoot 3 involved Aggie, Steph (my awesome buddy) and Lisa (a tutor in college). And as always, Aggie purred and posed happily. :) She even yawned at one stage....and that was the 2nd time I actually got a picture of her yawning...








Out of all 3 photoshoots - this is one of my favourites.



So anyways bach to where we stopped last time - Shoppes@MBS and Marina Bay Sands. Whoa...I've been away for about a month already, and I still haven't finished uploading pictures from Singapore? Jeez...I'd better get cracking...

So just to contrast - the Marina Bay Sands hotel and the Art-Science museum at night...





And the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and DNA bridge in the day.





The Art-Science museum is built to resemble an open lotus, and each "petal" is an exhibition gallery. And coincidentally, the shallow pools around the museum had lots of lotus flowers...maybe it was intentional.








Spotted some men from the military driving motor boats with seashell-shaped props. About a month later, when I watched the National Day parade, I realised that these were the props used in one of the performances.



And here are some pictures of the Art-Science museum! I wasn't used to the heat (since I had only been in Singapore for a few days), so I was dodging in and out for some aircon.

Exterior, including the pools and the lotus flowers.






One of the featured exhibitions: Salvador Dali's melted clocks. One of them was situated right outside the museum.



The orange paper crustaceans on the glass are permanent exhibitions I think...



Just playing around with reflections and stuff. Seriously the pools were really still! The water didn't move at all - unless it rained of course, but then again, reflections were always very clear.





One last picture of the museum before I headed to the Shoppes@MBS for lunch and more phototaking.



Work was still going on at one of the glass houses near the Shoppes@MBS. I think this was going to be one of the branded shops along the river. Can't remember which one though. I also explored the surroundings of the Shoppes@MBS before actually going in for lunch.




There was an ice-skating rink just outside the food court where I ate.




Rasapura - the food court which served really good hunger satisfactions. I had Hokkien Mee as usual! :) It was a little more expensive but oh my gosh, it was so delicious!




Had a fail moment just as I was leaving the Shoppes@MBS. Because the shopping complex was so massive, walking from one end to another was like a hike. I didn't realise that there was an exit where the food court was, so I walked ALL THE WAY back to the place I came from when I first entered the building! And that was roughly where the Swirling Vortex of Terror (mentioned in the previous post) was! Jeez...fail indeed!

Anyways besides that, I did manage to get more pictures of the DNA bridge. I had to cross it to get back to the bus stop anyways.




I'll be posting more Singapore pictures soon, before (finally) moving on to the Melbourne ones! Should really get cracking with more photography trips soon!
