Night Shots Of The Marina Bay

The view of the Marina Bay Waterfront looks really nice in the evening with the lights on. The promenade is a nice place for a stroll after a meal at the nearby eateries. You can enjoy the picturesque scenery, while your food is digested. Strollers can't help slowing down to take a picture for the album. The place is quite popular with joggers and cyclists too. It can be quite busy in the evenings.

Here are some night shots of the Marina Bay Waterfront from my visits.

Witty Humour

Humour has an intellectual as well as emotional element. That is why some people do not share our sense of humour. We are all different. What we find funny, others may find coarse. But that’s okay. It doesn’t matter what kind of humour you like, as long as it makes you laugh.

I hope the following selection of humour will bring on a chuckle, or put a smile on your face. There is a fair bit of truth in them too.

The man who rolls up his sleeves seldom loses his shirt. - Thomas Cowan

There are glances of hatred that stab, and raise no cry of murder. - George Eliot

People, like nails, lose their effectiveness when they lose direction and begin to bend. - Walter Savage Landor

No guest is so welcome in a friend’s house that he will not become a nuisance after three days. - Titus Maccius Plautus

A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator. - William Cowper

The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway. - Henry Boyle

No matter how thin you slice it, it’s still baloney. - Al Smith

Perhaps the angels who fear to tread where fools rush in used to be fools who rushed in. - Franklin P. Jones

To promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing. - Mark Twain

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. - Abraham Lincoln

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule – and both commonly succeed, and are right. - H. L. Mencken

People who say they don’t care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don’t care what people think. - George Carlin

Flower Display

More pictures from the Dahlia Dreams display.

Although it is called Dahlia Dreams, the exhibition is also during the Chinese New Year / Spring season. Hence, the flower display included some flowers that bloom in Spring. Among them are celosias, chrysanthemums, and cymbidiums...

At the display, one will also see lanterns, couplets, lions, pagodas, pavilions… things associated with the Chinese New Year, and are common in Chinese culture. You will also see many rabbits - this being the Year of the Rabbit.

Aesop’s story of the race of the Tortoise and the Hare was woven into the Dahlia Dreams exhibition.

This is another show piece at the exit door. Like the one at the entrance, there was a stream of people waiting to take pictures.

Dahlia Dreams

There is a flower exhibition at the Flower Dome called Dahlia Dreams. Since this is also during the Chinese New Year, apart from dahlias, there are also other plants commonly associated with Chinese New Year, such as celosias, chrysanthemums, and cymbidium…

I was there to have a look at the flower display. The exhibition is on until the 25th of February. Today I will post some pictures of the Dahlias I saw on display.

This show piece is right at the entrance of the Flower Dome – two larger than life rabbits accompany a paper cutting of multiple rabbits in red against a gold background, colours associated with prosperity, good luck and happiness in Chinese culture. Paper-cutting is considered one of the most important types of Chinese folk art.

If you are wondering why the two rabbits, this is because this is the Year of the Rabbit!

The show piece was certainly very popular with visitors to take photos.

This is the back of the show piece.

This is the Flower Bed where all flower exhibitions take place.
