Maiden Trip to Singapore Flyer

Mich~
It was my maiden trip to the Singapore Flyer....
so I was filled with excitement and anticipation....
and my first time going on an "excursion" with colleagues....
When we reached there, we were trying to catch glimpses of the giant observation wheel...which stands at 165m above the ground....
We're like little kids, giggling, talking, waiting and queuing up in line for our turn to board one of the capsules...pardon us, 'cos it is very seldom that we get to let our hair down...
The Sg Flyer offers a breathtaking view of the city skyline, and the weather that evening allows us to see views of Singapore River, Padang, East Coast area, etc...we could also see the preparations underway for the great F1 race....
The capsules rotate rather slowly, so one wont really notice much movement, except for the changes in the views that lie ahead of you.....
For a first-timer like me, it was a good experience...and being a Singaporean, I have the chance to experience one of the iconic attractions of Singapore....

The capsules...each one of them can take 28 persons

Views....and each revolution takes about 30 mins..
