Children's Garden at Gardens by The Bay

Gardens by The Bay is a new favourite haunt for my family; we absolutely love the Children's Garden where the kids can have great fun playing in the water.  There were times where children oriented performances would be held there as well, ensuring great time for the whole family.

A Little Trip to Botanical Gardens

Singapore is well known as a garden city and one of the most famous garden is the Singapore Botanical Gardens which was recently granted a Unesco World Heritage site.  But me, Lincoln and my wife visited sometime before the garden got the award.  It was a very nostalgic visit for me and my wife as we had our pre-wedding photographs taken there back in 2008.

Legoland Trip 2014

Back in November 2014, we decided to go on an impromptu trip to Legoland Malaysia.  Lindsay was still in Purwokerto and it was just the three of us (me, my wife & Lincoln) in Singapore.  Since we had some time together, we thought it would be good to give Legoland a try since Lincoln had never been to a theme park before.  We bought a tour package from a travel agent and took a bus ride from Singapore to Johor.

The bus ride lasted almost 3 hours including immigration waiting time per trip.  Before reaching Legoland we also had to wait for some people who wanted to go to Hello Kitty Land before we finally reached Legoland.  We started at about 8:15 a.m. and finally got to theme park 11:15 a.m.

Lincoln was very excited from the moment we stepped foot inside the theme park.  The park was very spacious and surprisingly not very crowded.  I can't imagine what it would be like to be in a crowded park under hot and humid conditions.

First Entry For September

Ever since my last entry I had been busy....  I cleared my Nikon DX gear, got sick, pondering what to get etc..... And so after much consideration I decided to settle for Nikon D750.  Then came the hard part of choosing what lens to go along with the D750.  After another round of thinking and hard consideration I settled for Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art.  Got some more spare cash, but not too much.... Got a 2nd prime Nikkor AF-S 20mm F/1.8G ED.  And so my current Full Frame gear consists of the following.
