So with the extra time we had in our hands, my colleague suggested taking the Singapore Flyer as there is a free ride for teachers during the month of September because of Teachers' Day...and moreover, today is the last day of the promotion!
So off we went to take the Singapore Flyer!
Too bad the weather wasnt good. It was pouring. The guide was asking us if we still want to carry on boarding the flyer or wait till the rain stop. We all just went ahead since its free.
So, excuse the pictures I took since the weather was not in our favour!
We had the whole capsule to ourselves. So it was nice and exclusive!
This is the view of the wet F1 circuit from the flyer.
The view of Marina Bay Golf Course and the Floating Stage where we have our National Day Parade Celebrations.
As well as the construction of the Integrated Resorts(IR) and Casinos!
At the end of the ride, they have a model of what the IR and Casino will look like.
Honestly speaking, I was going to doze off when it was the end of the ride as it was so slow...and the weather was so nice to snooze.
After the ride, the skies cleared up a little but we chose to have our lunch at the Singapore Flyer Shopping Area instead. Went to "Jalapeno Peppers" for lunch. They had a good lunch set offer!
I ordered a sirloin steak (with mashed potatoes and cooked veggies) that comes with either a chicken soup or house salad. I ordered a house salad as I felt the soup may be a little too filling for me.
Even the salad was decent and heard from my colleagues that the soup had a lot of ingredients and it was thick and wholesome.
The set costs me only $10.90! And you can add $2 for the dessert of the day which was brownies. Initially I didnt order but when my colleagues ordered and it came, I got tempted and ordered too because it was huge and came with ice cream! (for only $2 bucks, it was worth it!)
The only downside was that they didnt provide free ice water. So we had to order our own drinks which was expensive. It ranged from $3- $5, depending on what drinks you order.
After lunch, we rushed to MOE for the briefing. On the way out, we could see crane vehicles parked at the side to take down the fencing for the F1 night race.
What an interesting but tiring day as my briefing ended at 5pm. CT came to pick me up after his work and we went home by Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) which was a nice and smooth ride! (took us only about 20 mins to drive from Buona Vista back home to the North East)
