We had an 8-course Chinese dinner and enjoyed a free ride on The Singapore Flyer. It is the world's largest observation wheel. Standing at a stunning 165m from the ground, the Flyer offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the Marina Bay, our island city and beyond.
Savouring the magnificent skyline views, stunning scenery and waterfront architecture on this 30 minute flight.
I missed the sunset ride because of the long queue. :(
But the night ride was just as lovely!

Lucky you!!! Getting the ride!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still praying for sponsors *lol*
I've never been on the Singapore flyer yet. I bet it will be beautiful form the top most. You know what ECL, you always have fun activities up your sleeve! I wonder how you do it. :)
ReplyDeletehave a nice week ahead!
The price for the Singapore Flyer ride at $29.50 is quite steep. Can't afford!!
ReplyDeleteAfter the cataract operation for both of my eyes two years ago, I have now developed astigmatism. You mean to say astigmatism can be corrected by wearing glasses?
friend of mine was there just days ago. extremely beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteYour hubby (right?) was making himself like home in the capsule. LOL. By the way, stunning night view!
ReplyDeleteoh..you finally get to ride in the Singapore Flyer... *congrats*
ReplyDeletewow, how lucky and fascinating to enjoy a free ride on the Flyer. the views are awesome too.
ReplyDeleteECL,
ReplyDeleteSo nice! Can bring me go if I happened to drop by Singapore next time?:D
the night scenary looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a ride up the flyer before but next month I will be going there, fully subsidized!
Okay that's it. I am booking my flight today and coming to live with you.
ReplyDeleteSo make room okay?
You are always having the grandest adventures!!
I'll be there in a few hours so you better get ready:-)))
I prefer the night view so colourful. But with my wife then the sunset view would be most romantic :)
ReplyDeletewah, your hubby an optometrist ka? Can go Singapore and ask your hubby to check my eye or not? Hehehe Kidding!
ReplyDeleteSGD29.50 if converted to MYR can be quite steep. Wai for ECL to belanja me a ride! :D
I used to wear contact lens, but felt it was too expensive as I too have astigmatism.
wow! Singapore flyer! maybe we can check it out if ever we go to SG next year.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if BL's Toric lenses are already available here in Manila? My sister and I are contact lens users. It's my sister who has astigmatism while I am near-sighted.
Very nice view! But someone told me they got bored after 10 minutes of getting on it.
ReplyDeleteCool. I was up the Singapore Flyer on 15 Nov 2008, in the afternoon. From your photos, it looks like the night view is lovely too. I wonder how the sunset ride would be?
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting way to publicise the Toric lenses.
Wah... must visit this place if I go to Singapore...
ReplyDeleteHi ECL, here to drop MPG for the day, or night now! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the night pics too. Wah u are always so busy with ur many invitations, lucky you! :):):)
ReplyDeleteWah! I want to go up the Flyer! : )

ReplyDeleteECL,
ReplyDeleteMana you? Hope you're doing fine! Take care and rest more!:)
I didn't know about the Flyer. It loos fab.
ReplyDeleteSingapore is one of my dream destinations...I know it's just an hour away but I don't have the means...heheheh...well this pics just make me want to go even more...you also have an interesting blog, esp. since this one tries to be a venue for letting your voice be heard in a well-confined society....
ReplyDeleteWould love to go up the S'pore flyer on my next visit but still not sure if the height is problem for me or not.
ReplyDeleteHi Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteHeight should not be a problem as the flyer rotates slowly one.
Hi Sean,
ReplyDeleteDo come to Singapore during the christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year time, the streets would be abuzz with activities!
A little history about the flyer. It changes its direction of rotation after geomancers thought the intial rotation after it was opened for some months actually is not auspicous, removing wealth of the island than bringing it!
ReplyDeleteAnother place to see the flyer would be at the new Marina Barrage. The new flyer from a distance looks splendid!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been up there yet. But I've heard inside stories about the owner's future plans for the Flyer - from a reliable source of course! keke.
ReplyDeletevery nice view of Singapore City.
ReplyDeleteWhere does ECL really go?
ReplyDeleteHer blog not updated for sometime liao.
We miss u!
ECL went for secret training lah... kekekeke
ReplyDeleteI've astigmatism too, but my eyes are too small, so was never able to try out contact lens, toric or not...
ReplyDeleteAstig (200 per eye) got perfect contact lens formula or not?
ReplyDeletei got astigmatism before but I had it operated on.hey, I would love to get to that Singapore Flyer! lucky you!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna go on the ride too..:)
ReplyDeleteI have to see your hubby for new glasses.. when i come home eh.. :)
I rode the flyer last year before we left SE Asia. I rode during the day and it was amazing, but the night shots make wish time had allowed for a chance to ride at night. Perhaps someday I will make it back that way again!
ReplyDeleteDoes any one know where ECL is??
ReplyDeleteCould she be in hibernation now and later spring us a surprise with lots of interesting blogs.
What a excellent invitation!! 8 course meal & free ride somemore. Lucky you :):)
ReplyDeleteIs that your hubby sleeping buddha on the bench? So cute la. Malaysian sure go pokai for that ride.
ReplyDeleteWow those are beautiful pictures of the city's night sky.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. It must be breathtaking up there on the Singapore Flyer.
ReplyDeletenice photos. i wish i could take singapore flyer too but it is too expensive for me.
