Today, we continued with Singapore Biennale 2008 part 2 at South Beach. I preferred the art pieces here to those at the old parliament. These were louder, bigger and more captivating.
I guess the rundown building fits well with these contemporary pieces. It's got this bold artsy feeling, oblivious to the eyes of the norm. Sometimes I wish I can be like this.
As we advanced to the container building (an art piece too) in search of the Tee-shirt exhibition, we realised that this is just another part of the Singapore Biennale, all tugged nicely and quietly away from the buzz-ling of the touristy area. It sits quietly and peacefully at the edge of the CBD, separated from the shopping district and Singapore Flyer by the stretch of Singapore River. This container installation is really cool. Raw and confident with style.
Out of curiosity, we changed into house slippers and stepped into this igloo-like art piece. He said it's like an Igloo. I said it's more like a hot igloo. The irony that it felt so hot and stuffy while the internal windows out to a vast piece of snowland and bald trees.
It felt distant. Almost like a hollow within a heart. Like there's something missing, someone's missing in the heart. The heart searches for some memories, some things or perhaps someone. I like this photo.. felt just like the art piece..
We moved on to the newly opened Marina Barrage. Someone trotting in the opposite direction mentioned that there's nothing much to see in the dark. I was glad that he was wrong. The city lights were beautiful in the dark. We had the chance to take our first nice photo with the whole Singapore Flyer.
Marina Barrage, a place where I think is really suitable for wedding, all thanks to that long stretch of green roof with two parallel lights forming an asle all the way up. I picture it to be really grand and yet simple with the long tail of the bridge's white grown being dragged, trailing behind her every little careful step. The two sides of the asle shall be decorated with pink and purple or perhaps white streamers or flowers. I could just be a wedding planner. He doesn't like that career path.
I took off my metallic silver sandals and waddled into the water playground like an instinct. He couldn't because he was in proper shoes and socks. The couple dances of the water and lights made it picture perfect.
We will be back to capture this new born touristy place in another daylight.
Whereas for today, we missed the last shuttle bus and had a long walk back to Marina Bay MRT station hand in hand. Sometimes, the right time and the right place is anytime, anywhere.
