Singapore and it’s Beauty.

I have been reading Singapore’s history for a few days now.

The very in-depth book, Singapore: A Biography, is a recommended read for all Singaporeans, no, it’s a necessary read for all Singaporeans :D

Okay, that is actually not the point of this post. What I was going to show you is, the beauty of the modern and cosmopolitan Singapore.

Not sure where is this. Probably one of the flower plantations in Singapore.

Singapore Flyer
The Singapore Flyer is currently the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Described by its operators as an observation wheel[1], it reaches 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m (541 ft), and is 5 m (16 ft) taller than the Star of Nanchang and 30 m (98 ft) taller than the London Eye.

Singapore Botanical Garden (i think it should be right)
The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a dynamic and living monument to the foresight of the founding fathers of Singapore. Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and a keen naturalist, established the first botanical and experimental garden on Government Hill (Fort Canning Hill) in 1822, shortly after his arrival in Singapore. He aimed to introduce cultivation of economic crops such as cocoa and nutmeg.

St James Power Station
Built in 1927, it was Singapore’s first coal-fired power plant supplying electricity to nearby shipyards, industry and residences.
Today, St James Power Station is a music and nightlife venue in the HarbourFront area of the Bukit Merah Planning Area, Singapore, near VivoCity.

singapore hotel
Not sure what hotel is this

Chijmes (My guess)
The history of Chijmes is a marvellous mosaic. It reveals beautifully that love does in fact conquer all. Its odyssey from struggling convent school to resplendent living history was never easy, but then most worthwhile journeys are always challenging. Chijmes was once the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), established in 1854.
Today, it’s a place of fine dining and a relaxing nightlife.

Looks more like a Balinese themed massage but well, that’s Cosmopolitan Singapore.

Swissôtel Singapore
Swissôtel The Stamford at 226 metres with 73 floors, is the tallest hotel in the south of Asia and the eighth tallest hotel in the world. The hotel is also the seventh tallest building in Singapore. It is located within the Raffles City complex and has 1,263 rooms, the most of any hotel in Singapore.
