Double Helix Bridge with my parents.
Filed under: Journal Entries;No CommentsIn the afternoon, my dad suggested going to the Double Helix Bridge near Marina Bay Sands Resorts. Both my mum and I felt it was a good idea so off we went. We set off a little late due to my fault, because I was using the computer for quite some time. Nevertheless, my dad drove there and he parked at Marina Square car park : $2.14 per entry.
We reached Marina Square at 6pm. So we decided to have our dinner first before heading to the bridge, where we had no idea where it is. We ate at the food court. I was surprised to find out that a number of food stalls had already closed down. The last time I went, there were none ( but it was quite some time since I last went to Marina Square). So, there were many empty seats. My parents & I sat at where we could see the Marina Bay Sands Resort. We could see where’s the bridge from where we were sitting, so we walked out to the area outside the Esplande to have a better view.
Then we realised that it was along the way if you walk to Singapore Flyer. And it looks nice and interesting. But the bridge was quite short? I could finish walking within 5 minutes. There were a total of 4 viewing pods – an area that extends out from the bridge to have a better view of the city. A certain portion of the bridge was closed and the bridge connects directly to the retail shops area which was still under construction. ( My dad commented it can never be completed anytime soon. I think they announced it could be completed by June?)
I took some photos using my hp. It’s uploaded on Facebook.
Oh ya, an interesting point that I found. To fit into the theme of double helix, the lights on the floor of the bridge were lighted with the 4 basic groups of DNA – “A” “T” “C” “G”. I took a few photos of that letters.
After that, we went to the tou hwa shop at Rochor road(yum yum!) before heading home.
It was a nice family time evening.
