Marina Bay Sands and Marina bay area.

We went there yesterday for a seminar and while we're there one of our friend wanted to go over to the Sky Deck. So we all went to that place. (It was shown in Discovery , Build it bigger series. Info here)

The view is good but the best part is the infinity swimming pool. Sadly I couldn't take the snaps as the sun is directly opposite us making any picture taking highly impossible. Please note that swimming pool is strictly for hotel guests. If you are public you are allowed to the extended part and you've to pay $20 for the access which in my opinion not worth :|
Here are some snaps..


This is the view from swimming pool edge (what is visible is the place open for public). 







This is the view towards the pool. In the background is the Singapore port which will be shifted to jurong (??) area in the next ten years :|






This one showing the Marina reservoir and east coast part. Singapore eye can be seen too. Next one is the view of Marina Barrage and the crowded singapore straits. Final picture showing the work in progress Gardens By the Bay. This one will be the crown jewel of Singapore. What Sentosa did to singapore for more than a decade will be the job of Gardens by the Bay for the next few decades.





Overall there is lot of construction activity going on around the marina bay area. There is a new express way in parallel to the barrage (of course underground/undersea). Gossips are abuzz with new condo's in the open golf area after the new express way.. Within next five years I bet Singapore skyline would be completely different than it today.
