Started out the day at the zoo. Haven't been there for ages. The kids were elated especially at the kidz area where they had their water play.
Headed to marina bay sands to watch the fireworks. Totally unplanned and parking was amazingly a breeze as they had opened up an exhibition hall and turned it into a lot due to the crowd.
The fireworks were lovely. We had a nice place in front of marina bay sands with not much of a crowd, overlooking the whole back drop of Fullerton hotel, and the lighted skyscrapers acrossthe Bay.
That much of the day was expected. We then had dinner in MBS at coffee bean bistro and we really didn't expect a full menu there. Everything looked good! They had an all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. irfan had his pancakes, I had steak and Alim had lasagna. I really didn't know that the coffee bean there had a full menu!
After the meal, we decided to take a walk by the bay. Honestly I have not walked along the bay at night. I must say the place was beautiful and if I was a tourist, I would probably say, this has got to be one of my favourite place in Singapore.
The lighted buildings across the Bay was very pretty, like a backdrop of a musical about to start. You can sit on the steps or at the edge of the platform overlooking the bay, with no barricades between you and the bay. Very nice night, it was.
To top it all, there was a water show like the song of the sea at sentosa right in front of the Bay. We didn't know this until last night. It was about 10pm by then. With the beautiful night and lighted backdrop, the fountain started, lighted, with intermittent fire explosions for impact. Reminded us of a show at Vegas. Towards the end, bubbles filled the air, floating from the sky, much to the kids' delight. The night could not have gotten more beautiful:)
No idea this was happening in front of the Bay. Nice!
