The Singapore Flyer

The Singapore Flyer is one of Singapore's tourist attraction. It has attracted people from all over the world and locals. Tourist do not hesitate to pay hundreds of dollars just to visit the Singapore Flyer. The Singapore Flyer is one the largest "wheel" with a magnificent feat. However, there was this incident which Singapore was taken aback by. On 23 December 2008, news reports say that it had broken down twice before, and this makes me wonder whether complacency has kicked in. Ever since then, I have developed a fear for the flyer.

My parents had wanted me to join them to visit the flyer but I obliged in going there. Even thinking of going there sent a chill down my spine. After I heard that the school was bringing us on a learning journey to The Singapore flyer, I really did not want to go. I only agreed to because my friends persuaded me to go along with them. All I expected from the flyer journey is for the journey to be smooth sailing.

The day arrived and I was quivering. We reached the Singapore Flyer. The magnificient facade caught my eyes. The entrance was filled with catrosphany of chong boonities laughter and chatterings. I was praying hard that everything will go well. My friends and I were assigned to different groups. We were assigned to different capsules of the flyer. I was assigned into capsule B3. My group members were Wendy, Kamilah and Ting Mei. We were going to board the capsule. I was shaking so hard. I managed to calm down and board the capsule

Looking down from the capsule, I could get a bird-eye view of Singapore's landmarks. Some of it includeed the Floating Stadium which is where every year National Parade held. Furthermore, the F1 race track which has been used to host the grand prix race. Another landmark that I saw was The Merlion. The Merlion was derived from a combination of a lion and a fish. It is Singapore's national symbol.

The whole journey on the "wheel" took approximately thirty minutes. After we got down from the capsule, I was still starstrucked from what I had seen. The Singapore Flyer turned out to be the most remarkable trip for me. I would have regreted my decision if I had not gone for the learning journey. I would definately recommend others to make a trip to the Singapore Flyer as it will definately turn out to be the most exciting trip for anyone.
