Over these 3 weekends, the whole of Marina Bay Waterfront will be brighter than usual... why leh? Over 20 light art installations scattered around various points along the waterfront were set up to create awareness for the usage of energy-saving lighting.
Ruby & I met up for dinner at Marina Sq & decided to commence our walk from Esplanade. But alas, when we stepped out of Marina Sq, the sky was shrouded wif a bad haze! The air had been still & humid, which was an unusual October! Thou we were blanketed wif a hazy skyline, we had no other alternatives since we had already brought our photography gears...
We started off looking for the 'Jellight' aka Jellyfish lights, anchored not too far from the amphitheatre outside Esplanade... Thereafter, we have 2 alternatives, either walk towards Helix Bridge or towards Esplanade Bridge. As i already planned the route beforehand, we walked to Esplanade Bridge... It's the first time i saw a changing neon light lighting up the Esplanade bridge but i find that the bright red is not tt nice, if it could pause longer at the purple/blue will be nicer! Over here, you will notice huge wordings on the wall ''Touch. Do Not Please the Work of Art.'' It took us a long while to realise wat's this about! The wordings were made up of luminous paper & hence kids were having fun making 'imprints' of themselves on the wall, when the lights flickered on & off!
From here, we walked up Esplanade bridge & saw how bad the haze was! haha! We still had yet to utilise our tripods up to this part... Yeah, quite hard to hold & carry thru' the long walk. Since i had photographed this area before, ruby was the one trying to photograph the nite scene at this area... As we strolled along One Fullerton, i realised changes of the F&B outlets! There's 2 Starbucks & 1 Coffee Bean outlets along the stretch now! I was only here a few mths ago, haha! I was kaypo-ing, looking into the posh eateries...when i noticed an intricate candle holder on one of the alfresco tables! Since there's nobody sitting at the tables, i quickly snapped & a few Chinese tourists started copying me! 
Finally we reached the Fullerton Bay Hotel side & already felt tired! More shots in this area & i discovered an interesting framing, which i set up my tripod to snap a pic of ourselves! Then, we could see the reflections of 'My Public Garden' in the waters & ruby tot she sighted a crowd there! haha! Well, that's supposedly the starting point at The Promontory @ Marina Bay! These days seems to have quite a number of events happening at this plot of open space! I like the lighting displays here best as it's really nice, esp when the surroundings bldgs gave a nice contrast too! When we finished doing our respective shoots here, we almost drop-dead from the walk & sweat! Hence, we abandoned our plan to proceed on towards MBS part & headed to Mac to rest our tired feets!
