12/7/2014 - Crossing over the time zone between dusk to nite @ about 6:15pm
A beautiful picturesque scene indeed
On 12th July 2014, we took some friends and loved ones (some from Malaysia and UK) to this bike ride from evening sun down to nightfall.
The last time we did this cycle was back in Oct 2012 and it was in the morning. This time we decided to do a ride where we could see both the day and the nite lights. And yes, we were not disappointed as it was a rather cool and windy day .
What was even more unexpected was that we were in for a greater treat as the National Day rehearsals were on going and the timing was just right! We saw the paratroopers where we arrived at the mid point at the new Sports Hub which was newly opened in July!
The view along the Kallang River was spectacular - both day and night scenes. We saw the heli with the big flag flying past us at the Gardens. The fighter jets zoomed in formation . We watched the gun salutes at the Marina Promenade. Had great food at the Satay Club and rushed back to catch the fireworks along Kallang River. We did it in 4 hours as we did not want to pay the overnite surcharge of bike return at additional S12/pax!
Did a previous youtube of this cycle in 2012. This one is dedicated to all the gang who rode that day. Interesting, the pencil sketch artist Stephen Whitshire too finished his sketch on 20th July 2014 - in 10 days. His sketch was focused too on this East Coast to Marina Bay Gardens . So the ending part in this youtube is a token of thanks for his gift to little Red Dot for her coming Jubilee celebration next year 2015!
May you be blessed as you browse and enjoy this song "FLY" by Jason Upton. His testimony in the link below too.
