Not a Sandy Bay...

I managed to do some catching up with a friend from overseas and since I had free up my the whole afternoon, I decided to accompany her to the 'not so sandy bay' in Singapore.

Probably, just by taking a look at the photo shown in the above,
you should have a pretty good idea where I have been to.
The name of this place would be 'Marina Bay Sands'.

As for the main reason we went there would be...

The exhibitions that are on display inside the "ArtScience Museum". There are currently 2 exhibitions on display right now. And that would be 'Harry Potter' and 'Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal'. I'm not going to write about the exhibition on 'Harry Potter', since it's already a world known character. As for 'Andy Warhol' you probably wouldn't really know him, but you would probably have seen numerous pop art pieces on topics like famous actress, model and singer 'Marilyn Monroe' and Chinese Communist leader 'Mao Zedong' that was done up by him. (Go ahead, do some Googling and you will get what I mean. ;P)

Since the museum is located pretty near the 'Helix museum', we tried taking a stroll across the bridge too. Too bad, half of the bridge was seal off due to the rehearsal for the upcoming NDP 2012 (National Day Parade). Otherwise, you can grab a pretty good look of the 'Marina Bay Sands' and the Singapore River. But looking on the bright side, since there's NDP rehearsal for the next few weeks, that means you can take a good look at the fireworks for NDP for the next few weeks, which is going to be pretty nice. :D

Before moving indoors, let me show you the biggest wishing well in Singapore...?

Singapore's Biggest Wishing Well
I guess this was suppose to be some architectural design element,
but it just so so happen that the look and feel of it, is pretty
much similar to a wishing well. As we were chatting, it seems
that someone had really treat this as a wishing well, and he/she
had threw some coins into the hole in the middle... =="""

So how does things look like below the well?
It seems that there's a pond below the wishing well, but...
wait isn't that a boat????

It seems as if they have recreated a mini version of the waterways of Venice, Italy within the premises itself. Interesting. :)

Some other photos of 'Marina Bay Sands'.

From a consumer's point of view, I personally fell that this shopping mall is pretty nice. Regardless of the shops that you can find/get over there, the corridors of this shopping mall are pretty board, and you don't need to worry about bumping into an unknown person. (I hope that more friends from overseas can pay me a visit in Singapore, so that I can make more trips to 'Marina Bay Sands' to learn more about the place.)

Note:

• It seems that you can experience a complete different 'Marina Bay Sands' at night. Especially, when there is a daily ongoing light and water show, 'Wonder Full' and you can catch a good view of Singapore from the 'SkyPark Observation Deck' and at the same time not forgetting night scenery of the the 'Helix Bridge'.
