BMW is ready to introduce its hydrogen-fuelled 7 Series limousine in Singapore but it won’t be for sale yet. Representing 20 years of research and development, the Munich-based carmaker has developed the first emission-free liquid hydrogen-powered luxury saloon suitable for everyday use, according to BMW.

The cars due to arrive in Singapore as part of a world tour.

The Hydrogen 7 has two fuel tanks, one for petrol and the other for liquid hydrogen, BMW said. When operated only on hydrogen fuel, the car emits water vapour.

This pic was taken as a form of advertisement of its car clean water to drink.

One of the more interesting tours tourist can take here…Fun begins when you board the FunVee DUKW (pronounced Duck) authentic revaped WWII Amphibious Vehicles!

Land Trail:  Start off with a city exploration – a drive around the city landmarks like Esplanade, Padang, Supreme Court, City Hall, War Memorial.

Water Trail: Splash down the water for a different experience! Photo shots of Merlion – our Singapore icon! A promise of fun and excitement that you should never miss!

This pic was taken today when it’s guess are having lunch in the CBD area. Š

Here is the latest pics of the much anticipated project. Progressing very nicely.

The Marina Bay Sands will serve as a venue for conventions and exhibitions. It will offer a wide range of leisure products, such as two 2,000-seat theatres, an ArtScience museum, and floating pavilions.

The main design of the Marina Bay Sands consist of three 245-metre high hotels linked together by a SkyPark, low-rise MICE facilities, theatres, and a casino.

Caught this during lunch time today in CBD for the launch of a new magazine “Golf Punk”.

Should have use the real grass just next to it.

What an evening: The crowds, the noice, the expectation and the final countdown…and no guessing which city win.

What a big roar when the winner was announced live…i was so glad i was in the winning city to take these pics. Better luck next time for Moscow.

Congratulation Singapore!

Picture of Singapore landmark .. the “Esplanade”.

You see them everywhere in Singapore. Majority of the residents stay in the heartland like these Gov flat provided by the Housing and Development Board (HDB).

Most people living in HDB aims to “upgrade” in future to a higher status living as in private condominium or newer apartments. Others like myself do the opposite as with HDB you can get really bigger size place (mine was from 1000 -sq ft to 1500-sq ft) and more convenient and lots of amenities like near shopping malls & public transports. Also HDB flat cost a lot less.

This is the place that i moved in just recently. Very windy most of the time.

Most of company & people here organised “loh hei” event during the CNY celebration. Our work dept also follow the tradition today which is very common here in Singapore. To some different culture, tossing food (especailly fish pieces..Yee (fish) sang (raw) an appetiser, a mixed raw fish salad with a colourful arrangement) at the table might seen to be a bit strange but during CNY it have special importance. The word literally means “mix upwards” which sounds like “prosperity and progress” in Cantonese language. Others interpret as “Enjoy more and more prosperity!”

Due to the recent property boom in the country, witnessing many buildings demolished and re-erect with taller and nicer buildings in order to attract potential future tenents (especially in the central CBD). Some buildings prefered to upgrade like this new service apartment “The Ascott” building in front of Raffles Place MRT station.

Looks very scary to me. Wonder what will happened if something goes wrong with the building structure? How do they get those heavy cranes up there?

Picture tells a thousand words!

Oranges everywhere during CNY…
