We headed down to Marina Bay Sands for a look-see on the third day of our Staycation. Funny how that as Singaporeans, we’ve not gone by earlier to check out this absolutely monstrous construction that is supposed to sustain our island’s economic and tourism drives.
Truth to tell, the place is visually impressive at least. While walking about in the MBS shopping areas itself, I remarked to Ling that when we’re in a Singapore mall and can’t easily spot the local staples like Bata and Popular Book Store, the mall is definitely in a different league altogether. The prices for the ground floor foodcourt (Rasapura Masters) were equally representative with their marked-up prices well and above typical foodcourts too.
The view from the Sands Skypark was impressive, and we got pretty good views of the commercial business district. We’d deliberately gone by in the very late afternoon at about 1830 hrs-ish, and stayed until early evening to get contrasting panoramic compositions.

Nice!
So you did get at least a little use of your DSLR during your staycation. I was about to ask just that!
Yep I did, though just sort of. The only pictures I took using the D300 were the Sands Skypark panoramas, and at the Infinity Pool. The E-PL2 was the more constant companion.=)
A DSLR is definitely not very convenient, especially when on the go and having to be mindful of one’s infant. If I could afford a Leica M9 . . . Oh man!
It looks like you guys enjoyed yourselves during your staycation. Do you feel adequately recharged?
