The main event started at 10.30pm, but there are fringe shows nearby which started at 7.30pm. After I had my dinner in Asian Kitchen, City Link (which has better noodle than Din Tai Fung), I went straight to the park nearby the museum with Evie and Rafi. The other folks later joined us there. One thing you know when you go there is you gotta bring your camera, and so I went with full gear, Canon EOS 450D with 17-55mm IS f/2.8 lens borrowed from Jowena.

The fringe shows started at 7.30pm, and these are the performances which I bothered to take picture of.

They call themselves "Deng"

Some dance

At around 9pm, we started walking towards the museum so we could get a better spot to take picture from. Unsurprisingly, there are already LOTS of people setting up their tripod around the museum, so we tried to find the best available spot from whatever empty spaces available.

The Loop of Fortune

The show started with some lady walking around, dancing, but I couldn’t see much as she was too far away, then it was these two men who continued playing drums in rotations, upside down.

Then, the real loop of fortune show started in front of really cool backdrops of various decorations to the museum’s face.

Finally, it was fireworks galore. Not as great as those National Day fireworks, but these are stage fireworks, so it was so close to you, you can feel it.

Fireworks

They ended the fireworks show with this great fireworks coming down from the museum’s building, really good stuff.

I love these fireworks the most !!

The crowds who were there soon left after the whole show ended. We waited for a while to wait for the crowd to clear up a bit before we head our way back home.

The crowds

On our way back to the MRT, I saw this poster.

The Cross of Christ

In the midst of Great Singapore Sale, it reminded us one most precious thing, human salvation through Christ, though free, is not for sale coz it ain’t cheap.

I'm a financial-guru, CPF says :p

Do try it out, and let me know what’s your score? I’m sure some of you would be able to get 100% full mark.

1. NEED-TO-HAVE. A new digital camera to bring for USA Trip in September. Top of the list is Canon IXUS 860IS. Currently, shops are generally selling at S$545 with 1x4GB SD card and extra battery. Hopefully COMEX this time round will have a better deal.

2. NEED-TO-HAVE. A portable harddisk, again for USA Trip. Having a laptop while travelling is great, but what’s more important is its backup, as if the hard drive crashed on my flight back, it’ll be a disaster to lose all photos taken during the whole trip. I consider this $100-$140 spent as insurance paid against data lost during my trip. Considering Seagate FreeAgent Go simply because of its 5-year warranty.

3. GOOD-TO-HAVE. Another 2GB of Kingston DDR2-RAM 667MHz SO-DIMM to add on top of the 2GB currently installed in my Macbook, to make it 4GB. It should be about $55.

4. GOOD-TO-HAVE. A mouse to accompany my Macbook. I really want Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks @ $85 I think the last time I checked. What I really like about this mouse is it’s Bluetooth, so no need to use any USB port. It has everything I want except the price hehe…. :p

   However, due to its high price, I’m also considering other mice.

What do you think on my choices? Any better recommendations? Are you planning to get anything this COMEX show at Suntec? I know a certain someone who’s getting an LCD monitor. And I also know someone who will be dying to recommend a dSLR instead :p

In the mean time, SingTel has officially announce the price plan as well.

Although $56 plan is pretty steep, but the price plan of iFlexi Value are not too bad actually to have 1GB of monthly data (that should be enough for mobile browsing, unless you stream YouTube video everyday on the road, then 1GB will not be enough).

The bad news is, unlike Starhub that cap data usage at $36 a month, SingTel doesn’t, so you can possibly paying hundreds of dollars for your data plan if you’re not careful.

The second bad news is, in order to enjoy that FREE 1GB local data, you have to signup before 5th September 2008, that’s like two weeks after it will be launched this Friday. But then, with COMEX coming along next week, expect LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG QUEUE at Suntec City when people will queue for iPhone.

Wait a minute, maybe that’s actually a good news. With LOTS of people busy queuing for the iPhone, the rest of Suntec City will be empty for me to roam around, *fat hope*

When the lunch was ready, we grabbed our own food, and watched Moulin Rouge VCD, courtesy of Dewi. I stayed until around 3.30 PM, and then I left to East Coast Park for BBQ with another group of friends. It was an occasion to celebrate Suwanto and Ceria birthday as well.

Thirty-three and going strong for Suwanto

Twenty three or twenty eight?

In case you didn’t know, there’s already Esplanade MRT

Saying it’s a Big Walk is an under-statement. This should be called Gigantic Massive Mammoth Immense Walk!!!! Okay, I exxagerate here, but walking 10 km was not as easy as I thought. We woke up at 6.15 AM, and reached there almost 8.30 AM. We literally walked from National Stadium, turned in Nicoll Highway, went towards Esplanade, and made a U-turn at Fullerton, and back to National Stadium. I initially thought we could have finished the 10-km walk in 2 hours, but in the end, we took close to 3 hours to reach the finish point.
So, who went? Myself, Bayu, Momon, Eric, Asen, Anton, Melinda, and Patricia. We even saw Batman, Spiderman, and few people who wore fruits like tomato, grapes, etc. After the event, we went Serangoon for lunch, and back at home now. Bathed already, now typing blog, I should rest for a while, before going church later.
Below are the photos taken during our Big Walk by our trusty Asen’s Powershot G5. Click the respective photos for bigger-sized pictures. Complete original-size pictures are shared in my Imagestation gallery.


Update: Asen and Eric has put up their post on Big Walk in their blog as well. Check them out.
