My trip on the "flyer"

after all the sad thoughts let me share sth interesting...

i went to the Singapore flyer today...

Facts: there are 28 capsules....for every capsule it cna contain to a maximum of 28 passengers...the flyer is 156 metres tall and it cost 240 thousand to construct(if i am not wrong)

i went with my relatives who came from Sabah and some others frm S'pore....they are all old folks and u can guess there walking speed haha....the flyer operates just like the cable cars...u have to hop on as the capsule moves along unless there is a pram or wheelchair.....then the capsule will stop....

u can't realy feel that the capsule is moving as it is air conditioned nd u cannot feel the wind....even when u are at the top u can't feel anything...maybe they should have open windows where the whole capsule might shake gently due to wind... in this way it might even attract more tourists there too haha....

my dad was like saying maybe next time we can try e DHL hot-air ballon....the ballon will rise to a height of 180m in the future....then it might be more exciting...haha....

oh and from the capsule, u cna practically see the whole of Singapore..almost cos some cannot be seen due to the many high rise buildings around....oh i saw part of the F1 race-where the pit-stop is and where the people will be sitting...i heard that one ticket to the F1 race costs $7,500...wow i guess it is only for the rich haha.....i oso saw the constuction of the IR...it is just damn amazing..no wonder they say that about 90% of S'pore cranes are there...i guess the IR will certainly look very grand and beautiful

went to this particular hotel called Ritz Cartlon(not sure of the spelling) but anyway although it looks simple and plain on the outside but it is actually a hotel which has a Six-star rating...i was totally shocked...i guess this get to show - never judge a book by its cover...in this case it is never judge a hotel by its appearance..haha

oh brother fell sick le...germs all around the hse my god....got to stay away from him lest i get the disease haha.....
