Hey have not been posting for quite long, and lots of things have heppened. Well firstly, i have got a new blogskin, and many ppl have complained that the font is too light. Well, changing now =)
Not to forget my combined choir concert with String ensemble, which turned out really fun, unfortunately i had forgotten to take any pictures. Oh well....
I have been going out quite a lot these few days, almost everyday to be honest, but the most fun part was going to Terminal 3 with Eng Han. Looks really cool!
Really doesnt look 21st century to me, with all those futuristic looking panels and trims. The terminal has a state-of-the-art that has 919 (wow, 919!) skylights fitted with an intelligent computer-controlled system of butterfly shpaed reflectors above them. This unique roof is designed to mantain an optimum amount of diffused sunlight into the terminal according to outdoor weather conditions. Wow, so sophisticated.
The UFO-like departure hall. Hmmmm..... In fact, we only had 2 complains: we were a little disappointed that some parts of the terminal was not finished yet, and that the air conditioning could have been colder. Ok, we are being quite fussy here...
Nevertheless, this is definitely a solid effort from erm... erm.... Singapore (or whoever who designed, built and engineered it), and I am surely looking forward to the finished product next year. Hoping it will become the best airport in the world next year (sorry hongkong =D )!
We saw the airbus A380 as well, and it is huge! In fact I cant describe how big it looks, because you simply wouldnt believe =)
It is really much larger than these photos would otherwise suggest. In fact when other planes pulled up beside it they looked really tiny in comparison. So tiny to the extent that you feel as if you need a binoculars in order to spot them. The A380 was such a head-turner that many tourists tried to go as close to it as possible to take a picture of it. Wow...
