It's widely recommended that 2011 was a good year and turning point for our country's modern history. We all see a serial changes in which most of changes are deemed positive. Some are optimistic while others seem impatient with pace of changing. As our president said, we're in the transition stage and we can't compare with the mature nations of democracy in term of pace. It's agreeable that baby democracy state couldn't move very fast. Since Rome is not built by over night, our new civilian government won't be able to build with the rapid rate. They may need adequate time to construct our nation to escape from its own trap.
At the same time, people are busying with guessing the outlook of our political landscape in new year 2012. Some great world leaders thought it's irreversible in politic now. Who know for real challenges? We should welcome as long as new government is willing to change with regard to the development of our nation. However, 2012 is treated by unexpected clemency in which president used his power to cut imprisonment of inmates. People were much hope of freedom for political prisoner this time as by-election date had been set on April 1. The most beneficial prisoners from this amnesty are those who offended general criminal rather than political. Anyway, it's good for anybody to get freedom in the day of our independence.
For me, I had a good happy new year day on the very first day of 2012 with my close friends. We all went and see the famous MBS casino. The service they give are amazing to convince gambler keep coming their casino. No wonder Singapore's just over one year old casino over take once world's famous Lavegas casino, one spot behind China's Macau. We were impressing with the touch of interior decoration. We didn't test our luck during our first ever visit to casino. But we're enjoying to study how people are crazy with gambling. We noticed that most of people are senior citizen in which more than half are women. We agreed that women are more determined in gambling than their men.
After touring casino, we continue to walk around shoppe at marina for just window-shopping. Then we decided to climb famous sky-park at the top of marina hotels. It is located in the level no. 56,57 & 58. The lifts are super fast and we reach top within 1 minute. It cost us S$20 per minute. We were informed by ticketing counter staff that we are allowed to tour for limited area. We couldn't able to enjoy swimming pool area which are meant for their guest who stay at hotel. Perhaps, it's because they manage to protect their guest's privacy or avoid excessive human traffic at peak tourist season. Regardless, we're not allowed to access the famous swimming pool area. We got bird eye view from level 56 & 57. We took few hundreds photos to last our good memories. Luckily, the weather was good enough and excellent for dwellers. An hour later, we climb down for home.
In return, we took water-taxi from MBS to merlion park. The original round trip cost S$17 per pax. It begins at the foot of art-science museum and end the same point. The route stretch up to Boat Qwey. We bought one way ticket to merlion as we are so tired to walk back peninsular plaza for dinner. It cost us S$4.00 per pax. It's quite worthy to ride water taxi as we could get different perspective view from the centre of reservoir. The night sense gave us additional bonus. We could have a great happy moment at least for half day in the happy new year day. More importantly, we meet our long time no see friends and together make it a day to remember. My wife and I are especially happy for having a good metropolitan view photo for our little daughter. We'll save those beautiful photos in her digital album so she could feel keep in touch with us and remember her parent.
May year 2012 keep us have such happy moment.
