Marina Bay Sands from one Fullerton, originally uploaded by Swami Stream.
I finally picked the sigma 10-20 mm , 3.5 f lens. This shot of the marina bay sands is taken using that on a canon 7d. Last time I was in Singapore a lot of construction was going on but now its complete and open. Its open for 24 hours and requires SGD 100 for entry from the information I gathered from my cabbie .

Mojito @ Indochine restaurant in Singapore
March 31st, 2010
ndochine is directly opposite Boat Quay on a terrace outside the Asian Civilisations Museum, the restaurant offers reasonable modern Vietnamese/Lao/Khmer food and gorgeous views of the river. You will see a lot of corporate dinners and lunches taking place here . The ambience and food is very nice
A Mojito is traditionally made of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime, sparkling water and mint. The original Cuban recipe uses spearmint or “Yerba buena”, a much lighter mint variety very popular in the island. Its combination of sweetness, refreshing citrus and mint flavors are intended to complement the potent kick of the rum, and have made this clear highball a popular summer drink.I would say the one here was too sweet for my taste so had to request to lower the sugar in the drink.

The Fullerton Hotel
March 25th, 2010
This was the old Post office that has now become a premium Hotel in SIngapore opposite the famous Merlion .
The Fullerton Building was named after Robert Fullerton, the first Governor of the Straits Settlements (1826-1829).Commissioned in 1919 as part of the British colony’s centennial celebrations, the building was designed as an office building by Major P.H. Keys of Keys & Dowdeswell, a Shanghai firm of architects, which won the project through an architectural design competition.
The Fullerton Building was opened on 27 June 1928 by the Governor, Sir Hugh Clifford, who suggested the building be named after Robert Fullerton. The building had five founding tenants: the General Post Office, The Exchange, Singapore Club (now Singapore Town Club), the Marine Department, and the Import and Export Department (later the Ministry of Trade and Industry). It also housed the Chamber of Commerce, and various government departments dealing with agriculture, fisheries and forestry.The General Post Office (GPO) was the anchor tenant, which only moved in a fortnight after the Fullerton Building’s official opening.
In 1997, Sino Land (Hong Kong) Company Ltd, a sister company of Far East Organization, acquired the Fullerton Building from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It spent close to another S$300 million converting Fullerton Building into a hotel and building the two-storey commercial complex One Fullerton opposite Fullerton Road. Renovation works on the Fullerton Building were completed on 8 December 2000. The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was officially opened by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong on 1 January 2001
