And so.. the Flyer re-opens.

After being shutdown due to a electrical fault in the control room, the Singapore Flyer re-opens with backup systems in-placed in record time. (sort of. Just don't ask the tenants impacted by the closure)

We took the nite "flight" as we did not want to see the on-going construction at the Marina Integrated Resort (IR).

Went on the same night where Chingay 09 was having a rehearsal and so alot of the roads was blocked. This proved to be a good thing as it restricted the crowd getting to the Flyer and we were able to get an entire capsule to ourselves.

The ride was ok.. had good views of the night skyline and of course, taking pictures at night is always a challenge. Here's a few...

One of the reasons that we took it that day was because the kids "Gong-Gong" was leaving to go back to Taipei to work for the next 6 months(longer if required). So it was a good family time with him as well.

After the ride, we headed to the River Hong Bao at the World's Largest Floating platform. (2 World's visits in a day!).
