Gardens By The Bay

-Overdued Post-

This post has overload of pictures with colourful and various species of flowers and leaves. If you're allergic to seeing too many flowers, you may want to refrain from scrolling down. Haa!

We have been talking about visiting Gardens by the Bay one week ago and the week after we were there! I wasn't really anticipating to go as I thought it would be boring as Botanical Gardens like it will be hot and humid to walk around under the sun with perspirations.

When I got there, 90% of the place is sheltered. I could not feel any sunlight on my skin. After a short shady walk, we have reached the entrance of the two attractions venues.
It's the Flower Dome & Cloud Forest. 

Flower Dome is a glass house exhibition, huge, tall and spacious. The best part is that everywhere is air-conditioned! The sun so bright but it was very cooling inside. I enjoyed walking all the way viewing those beautiful flowers and get to know their names. Most of them I've never seen before.

 

 

My favourite one.

After Flower Dome we headed to the Cloud Forest. In the middle we did rest and have a bite on the hot-dog buns and ice-creams. Well... it was chilling but we still chose to eat the ice-creams.

Well, the Cloud Forest was even colder. Invited with a huge waterfall at the entrance and the vapors from the waterfalls make us shivered. We quickly took a few shots and went on to the higher ground leaving the waterfall area. The view was fantastic despite the battle with the coldness.

We went to the highest ground and walk our way down. The walk was scary at first because we are walking on transparent glass base. We can see the heights we are through it. Our legs naturally will go soft but after awhile, it was normal. I've notice some people were so frightened they remained walking carefully on the opaque area of the ground. Haa...

I deliberately walk on the transparent area and my Mummy ask me to walk on the opaque area instead. She think it's safer but I think it's all in the mind. It's was hilarious but then that's the fun of it yah?
You will notice majority of the people will squeeze into a line and walk in the middle... very few walked at the sides or close to the sidewalk handles. So if you guys want to over-take others, it quite easy and effortless, no one will fight the sides with you.

 

The experience was like walking on clouds, that's why it's call Cloud Forest.

You gotta experience it yourself to feel the maximum viewing pleasure.

After walking for 2-3 hours, our stomachs were growling out of hunger. We walked again to Satay by the Bay to have our dinner. The food there is expensive. The satay were a disappointment. I'd rather eat at Satay Club. The $8 Hokkien Mee still up to my expectations.

That sums up my visit to Gardens by the Bay.
If you have not visited, I would recommend to.
PS: Do remember to bring your jackets, it would save you big time!
