Singapore flyer
On March, I had a chance to experience Singapore, the largest fairy wheel in the world. This is a school program that every sec 3 express student had a chance to go to the Singapore flyer with 70% subsidies prices. Everyone was very excited because the flyer had not opened to public, thus nobody had went there before.
It was on Friday, a cloudy, dark morning. I went to school with a cheerful mood. I was not going to study but going to Singapore flyer. That thought made me got out of my bed quickly than usual. When I reached school, sec 3 student were gathered at the perfect square while waiting for the bus to come. I joined my class at the first row. The weather was getting better. Some sunlight rayed weakly down to the ground. The sun was still hiding behind the gray cloud as he doesn’t want us to see his face. However, it didn’t look like it was going to rain. My form teacher, Mr Bala, divided the class in to half A and B. From A, B we were group in to different group. I was in group A4. All group A followed Miss Ho during the whole journey. After grouping, finally we got in the bus; and head our way to Singapore flyer.
As the bus moving around the city, I was thinking what it will like to be there in the flyer. The ride must be fast thought because it is huge. If it moved slowly, it would properly take quite a while to complete one round. Once I got in to the capsules, the whole view of Singapore would be in my eyes. I let my mind fly around the flyer for a while.
When my friend told me to go down because we had reached the flyer, I stopped my imagination stop immediately. We sat at the second floor and listened to Miss Ho instruction before we got our ticket. After we knew clearly what to do, we went into the capsule. To my surprise, it moved really slowly. . A smell of fresh air went in to my nose as I stepped in. All of us went in one capsule. The capsule was as big as a size of a bus. There was air-con, TV plasma, camera in side. It was surrounding by glass so we can see through it.
The capsule moved slowly and got higher. The panoramic view was enjoyable. I could see everything in Marina bay. I could see Marina bay Financial, Merlion Park, the Fullerton Singapore, etc... at the highest point, the boarding were very anticipating overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery. The surrounding slay scrapers, especially the esplanade, very prominent.
Looked at the view, I wondered how I would be like if I was here at night, maybe with a special person. It would be very romantic. The view outside would be fill with flickering light. It would be cold and cool.
During the ride, we had to do some activities. We used one of our classmates as a measuring instrument to measure the height of the capsules. That was pretty fun.
This trip is a new experience for me. I really enjoyed the scenery. I want to come back here again to see the unfinished construction. I will definitely recommend it to other people. The magnificent bird’s eye view Singapore is worth recommending.
