When
the people in class say that we were went to Singapore. I say yahoooo with a big
smile. Even I have been there before, but for this time I will go there with my
lovely classmates. It sound good right. Yes, really. ! Only this time we can
gather together and it is our last class trip . I will miss this sweet memories...Sure..!
Singapore!
On Tuesday at dated 27 Mac 2012 we were went there from FAB UTM at about
7.15 o’clock. We arrived in Singapore about one and half an hour after due the
immigration process first. First place we were went to the Singapore City
Gallery. This Singapore City Gallery also placed the Urban Redevelopment
Authority (URA Centre) inside.
From the observation and explanation from our
lecturer, Dr Ho Chin Siong about Singapore from pre-50 when the post-war period
until era 2000, i saw many of physical development were change rapidly.
Singapore city make the good change for each era like 70 era when their start
to build up the modern infrastructure and for the 80 era, their government also
have put the good transformation by providing a quality living environment to
their citizen. When come to 2000’s era, the Singapore government state their
mission with the great words “A great city and play.
At
Singapore City Gallery also we were introduced to every part which were have 10
thematic areas and more than 50 audiovisual and interactive exhibits spanning
three floors. When came here, basically Singapore City Gallery offers an
exciting, multi-sensory learning experience into Singapore’s planning journey.
That is the one factor that we from 4SBW came here because we want to know
about the planning history and planning journey in Singapore which is the one
develop country in the world. From the visit, I see how their country develop
and how their overcome their challenge. Beautiful Singapore with beautiful
planning that the words can I say when I look their architectural models that
showing an exclusive bird’s eye view of Singapore.
Other
than that, Singapore city have their own planning sustainability which is their
country have different strategies that have helped to shape Singapore today.
This includes how the land is planned for live, work and play opportunities,
creating an endearing home for all.
Opposite
the Singapore City Gallery, I saw a beautiful red dot design museum. I am very
amazed at that time because their building was designed perfectly. From the
information that I got, the red dot museum was the largest contemporary design
museum in Asia.
After
that, we went to the Maxwell Food Centre to take our lunch first before we walk
along the road to go to the Chinatown Market. Their food courts are quite same
in Malaysia and their building also not impress me well. Along our road to
Chinatown Market, I look at surrounding there were many colourful heritage
buildings. From my observation during that time also, I feel that Singapore
have many heritage building that were conserve until now because the building
even the design physically old but it’s can give good attraction to others with
the improvement of building colour and building facade which look nice and give
beautiful effect.
The
Singaporean also very friendly and quite nice with me and other’s friend when
we bought some clothes, fridge magnets, key chains and others at Chinatown
Market. We also can bargain that things like we were in Malaysia. Their culture
also common with Malaysia but I think the Singaporean are well manner in their
discipline compared with Malaysian. It is because their country is very clean
due their discipline to an environment. I do not saw any much rubbish on the
road and it’s very clean.
The
last part for our trip was around Marina Bay. Marina Bay is Singapore’s most
exciting and ambitious urban project to date and the Urban Redevelopment
Authority (URA) is sparing no effort to transform the bay into a waterfront
playground for all purpose and for all ages.
At
first, we went visit the Marina Bay City Gallery, a sparkling two storey
building at the waterfront promenade. I can learn how Marina Bay came about and
many fun facts about the place. I can have a bird’s eye view of the city
looking at this amazing scaled model of the city centre. There are also really
cool fountain features next to it.
Generally
from this trip I sincerely amazed with Singapore country because it is a
vibrant city which is I can explore the beautiful Singapore. Besides, Singapore
is a small country but can develop very fast and transformed itself from a
fishing port to a cosmopolitan city within short period of time. I also
enjoyable to learn the art and science of creating memorable buildings and
streetscapes that can help our country, Malaysia more distinctive.
That's all ...Thanks for reading this entry..!
