We planned to visit Garden by the Bay at MBS during
this holiday along with Papa and Mama. We started off by stopping by
Macdonalds to give Papa and Mama an untypical breakfast which they
seemed to enjoy as much as the kids.
We reached Garden by the Bay at about 10.30am and
decided to visit the two iconic domes, Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. We
began with the Flower Dome. When entered, I was instantly impressed by
the majestic view of the artificial garden
inside this fully air-conditioned dome. We could even smell the
fragrance emitted by the flowers and Qiqi even claimed she could smell
the high level of oxygen! The amount of flowers blossoming inside the
dome were countless and of course, beautiful. I
was not sure how much man effort were incurred and needed to replace
these flowers or do they really blossom naturally? If it was the
latter, it would be more admirable.
After the Flower Dome, we proceed to the Cloud
Forest… this time it was an breath-taking man-made waterfall that
greeted us at the entrance. We spent a fair bit of time enjoying the
view before moving on to the lift which took us to the
top level. Starting from the top, there was a long bridge which would
bring you to the ground level and present you the journey of the various
types of forestation.
At the end of the Flower Dome tour, there was also a
room which exhibited how MBS had built this two domes to be
environmentally friendly. I just felt so ironic to believe that the
amount of energy used to maintain these domes would be
environmentally friendly or reduce any carbon footprints. Xuan and I
joked that this must be some tricks to divert some negative feedbacks
from the tourists.
