Victorine - Diary of Life

It’s the 1st day of the year 2009.

Me, sis, Boei i and Alfin; 4 of us went to Marina Barrage, a dam built across the 350-metre wide Marina Channel to keep out seawater, forming Singapore’s first reservoir in the city and 15th reservoir. It has 3 benefits: as water supply, flood control and lifestyle attraction. (source: click here)

The architecture is fun! We enjoyed the view there, mostly is about ‘water’ but it is all well designed. I don’t know, some of u, might find it too simple, not much attraction, but I do like it, I like the design, I like the view, and I like enjoying the wind there (just make sure you visit there at the right time, hehehe)..

We saw a couple was taking wedding pics there. Well, tell u what, I ‘created’ a dream there…. to book the whole barrage and held my wedding party there, hahahaha, What a wishful thinking :p

Ok, back to reality

You may also visit Sustainable Singapore Gallery, there you can see the barrage model and see how it works.

There u can take a free pic and send it directly as an e-postcard to ur destination mail. It’s free, so don’t put a high expectation on it, hehehe..
