A ride to Singapore Flyer(final draft )

Eric Lew Shao Quan (27) 3E3 A ride to the Singapore Flyer

It was on 28th May when I was sitting nervously in the bus on the way to The Singapore Flyer which is a giant observation wheel to have a spectacular and panoramic view of Singapore. I had heard from my friends and relatives said that the Singapore Flyer was very exciting and fun. I could not imagine that I would have a chance to have a ride on the Singapore flyer as the ticket was expensive and I could hardly afford it. But due to the some subsidized from the school and I can have a ride on the Singapore flyer. I really appreciated what the school had done for us. Upon reaching the entrance, I could feel a big object hanging up above my head. To my surprised, it is the Singapore Flyer and I heard my heart pumping hardly.

Entering the huge capsule, I filled with excitement and anxiety and my heart was pumping even more fast as it seem going to be pop out soon. And soon, the capsule went higher and higher and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. At the top, it was definitely a stunning view; breath-taking and it was bird‘s eye view and hazy vision. I stared in wonderment at the window and I saw the Marina Barrage which was so beautiful, Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort as it was still under construction, the Fullerton Singapore, Merlion Park which was huge and beautiful status which look like lion with mermaid and Padang. There also Esplanade which looked likes durian shell. Floating stadium which look amazing and mysterious as it was floating. Lastly, New Bridge, designed as a double helix structure. The Marina Barrage was a dam built at the mouth of the Marina Bay area that opens out to sea .It will also create a fresh-water reservoir behind it. The Merlion, a half-fish, half-lion hybrid is a commanding presence standing 86 metres.

I felt that it was high and nice as the view of the building is great and it is fun as I took a lot of pictures of the view of the building and sea and the nature during the ‘flight. My expectation had met as it was exhilarating and joyous. And I was wondering that pupils who have agoraphobia and claustrophobia have wasted a great and rare chance to experience a ride which full of anticipated fear, a wonderful learning journey.

We had taken pictures together with my friends and doing work together and these is where teamwork came about. It was fun and memorable and was cacophony of students’ chatter. I saw a magnificent structure which has a thirteen digit structure and has a thirteen floor. I think it is cool, nice and creative to build this kind of superb engineering feat.

I think it was a trip that is definitely worth going and I would recommend to others such as my friend and family to go as I had learnt lot of variable things during this trip which included, science, mathematics and other. It is definitely worth the money as to view the Singapore and lot of wonderful view such as the Integrated Resort. I felt that Singapore should be built with more attractive structure so as to attract more tourists and improve Singapore‘s economy.
