Look ! I'm not wet!My day out with some overseas friends to the Marina Barrage which is Singapore’s 15th reservoir and the first in the heart of our city. They were awed by this stunning attraction which offers panoramic views; and were impressed by the innovative displays in the galleries........ and it is free!
Entrance to Marina Barrage
water playground for the young and old!On a hot day, visitors can have a splashing good time at the the central courtyard's water playground.
My friends and I had a great time snapping pictures as we were splashing in the water playground. We were soaking wet but our clothes dried fast as it was a hot sunny day. :P

ReplyDeleteIndrani,
ReplyDeleteA huge place where one can chill out or just lie down on the green roof top and enjoy the breeze and clear blue sky!
JL,

Yummy-as-can-be
I would love to see that in life, unfortunately it is a little too far for me for a shuttle bus !
ReplyDeleteIt does looks nice! I wish it's summer already;) It's too cold to get wet here! haha
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun place to go for an outing. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question on my blog, you'd have to as a bird in the dogwood flowers are tasty. I'd be scared to try them, LOL.
I have not been there yet. Thanks for lending me a view of the Barrage through your photos. :)
ReplyDeleteYa, ECL, my Dear and I love Marina Barrage too!
ReplyDeleteThe place is simply beautiful! The wind there is also good for kite flying!
Just a pity not much restaurants there la and now the Marina Bay area is super dusty and smoky with the hundreds of construction trucks and construction of the IR taking place at breakneck speeds.. luckily these dirty problems are just temporary.
I am looking forward to Gardens at the Bay which will be in the vicinity of Marina Barrage.. soon the whole of Marina Bay will be transformed to Singapore's hottest spot: entertainment, leisure and recreation!
Too bad, the condos there are selling in the leagues of millions, I no money to afford :(
i haven't visited Sg in ages. This is a very neat place to visit.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's free? Must go this one! I hope it is free forever! : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place! Singapore really looks very appealing. I so want to get to know it! :-)
ReplyDeleteWish I had known about that when I was in Singapore last year. Looks like a fabulous time. i love the fountain picture!
ReplyDeleteMB is really a nice place...
ReplyDeleteIt's way nicer at night..
The night lights are awesome..
Well, to me at least.. :D
I've never been there in the day. Prolly will try to.. lol!
Hi ECL, thanks for peeking in on me. I only am doing the poem thing on Sundays on the Little P&P Place and a weekly on Jim's Little Blog and every couple of weeks something on Ask Dr. Jim.
ReplyDeleteI did put an April Fool cartoon link on the Little Blog today.
Hope you're doing okay. Please stop in again and say hi.
..
p.s. I took Jim's Little Blog off my profile blog list but you can link to it from another of my blogs.
ReplyDelete..
Wow, what a fun place to be just to cool off. Get wet (and wild?) kidding!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah! It is the new SG icon. ;)
