The Big Big Wheel....

For the past 1 month, I was quite fascinated by this Ferris wheel. I did not know its name is called the Singapore Flyer haha. Anyway I remembered the first time I saw it, I was heading to school on my first week of holidays. And I was wide awake in the whole bus journey.

Actually there is nothing pretty about it. Just that it is a very big wheel. So big I couldn’t resist wanting to take a photo of it. Even till last Sunday, I was still thinking how to take a photo of it properly because I keep getting blocked by the trees or Suntec (as I was in the bus). And I was thinking how it looks like at night. But I got lazy at night and took the train back. So as of now, I still don’t know how this big wheel looks like at night. Not that it will be a pretty sight since it is not lighted yet.

Maybe is just my curious nature at work again. Anyway just as I was still thinking about it, I saw another Ferris wheel, a green one this time. This friend's display picture was a big green Ferris wheel that I couldn’t resist asking him where he had taken that picture. And he told me is from Taiwan. I never knew Taiwan had a big Ferris wheel too.

And today, “My Paper” headline was on Singapore Flyer. Gosh, the editor must have read my mind last night haha. From this article, I learnt that there are a few Ferris Wheel
