Marina Barrage
Friday, May 8, 2009
Yeah I know, it's been way too long. The longest, if I remember correctly? But really, it's been reasonable, with the tennis nationals, three tests, and NAPFA, amongst other distractions like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just finished watching that movie online, and it really struck a chord. A great movie that I'm glad to have caught in the end. It's a romance genre btw, but don't be so close minded.
Oh, that's right, I found this picture on deviantart, it's doctored, but still, it's a creative piece of photography.
Wow my back is aching alot right now, wonder what's the cause. Anyway, the class minus 4 people, went to Marina Barrage for the learning journey that we're supposed to make once in our JC stay. It was kinda interesting, plus scenic, so I finally could take some nice shots with my ageing camera. I'm pretty tired, so just view.
Kinda put em up for classmates to take pictures from too, anyway.
Here's the entrace, banners flapping against the sea breeze. Blue for water, heh, duh.
The entrace was kinda intimidating, actually, it didn't even contribute to the dam, so what was this towering chunkarock doing there.
Upon entering the main complex, the sheer height of the structure wows you for a moment, even living in a city surrounded by high rises, this amazed me for a a while, so vast and calm. It'd be great to stargaze if it weren't for the bright city lights surrounding.
Berlin, Shermaine, Xiu Rong, Cheryl and Shi Yi. Xiu Rong's gonna be my model for the TPJC runway, and Berlin's a new addition to our class this year :\
The huge fields of the deck made some photos look band-of-brother-ish, with the panoramic scape and people appearing as if they're perched up there.
The green roof, not too green to me, nor does any aspect of it look like it can be environmental, but hey what would I know what its made out of. *yawn.. I'm gonna fast forward.
A proper class picture, still without 4 classmates, but this was as close as we'd get to one I think, sadly..
The dam system is pretty interesting, but really, this weekly accumulation of fatigue by friday's got me. I'm not gonna bother to elaborate on it. Go there yourself :D
sustainable... stuff. sheesh three yawns in one minute.
This lighting was kinda brilliant actually, bubbles and light, nice concept. They had some intriguiging displays and historical timelines that provided insights, but I was more concerned for my dying camera battery that day. It died on me halfway, bad luck.
Ms Helen Choo should pat me on the back for this :D
If you see anyone you'd particularly like to know the name (and perhaps phone number, email, address, favourite movie/song etc..) lemme know, 'else im too lazy to type em all out.
Remember, these pictures are not for you to go 'why so many pictures of people I may not know' well this is for classmates so buzz off! Or oogle. Whichever you please, but don't scoff, heh.
Part of the green roof, we went back up there, and without the security camera, it woulda been nicer.
Flyer, I have yet to ride on it, but I have heard multiple comments on the waste of time that it is.
Yes. That's it. I'm free!
It's off to bed for this aching body, and I promise I'll update more, oh darn this segue really left a layer of dust. I got Gold of NAPFA, I was friggin elated that day.. but I'm tired, so this is it. g'night.
