Garden by the Bay: OCBC Garden Rhapsody

The rhapsody was presented and sponsored by OCBC bank. Sharp at 745pm and 845pm, the show started and play the music from the Disney Studio and will last for 10 minutes.

Based on the Garden by the Bay official website, the show is a continuation of the poetic trilogy of music and light which celebrates the harmonies co-existence of Man and the Garden. Visitors can enjoy the show from various spots around the garden.

Garden by the Bay: Flower Dome

Flower Dome is the second conservatory that we visited that day. The dome exhibits among other the thousand year old olive trees that make the environment Middle East feel alike. Flowers types are basically to suit the cool weather temperature but sadly, not so many unique floras we can enjoyed there. Most are dried and some are almost dead.

In conjunction of the Easter Season (not sure why singapore celebrate easter), there were so many hanging colourful eggs and bunnies in the garden. The eggs are as many as the flora exhibit there. Wrong timing i guess. I expect more and more flowers like the one exhibit in the Annual Putrajaya Flora Festival. The visit to the Flower Dome is so so. Quite disappointed.

Notwithstanding that, let's enjoy what we have here,

Garden by the Bay: Forest Cloud

Next, the Forest Cloud. Forest Cloud is one of the two conservatories in the Garden by the Bay. It is built with a 35 m man made mountain shrouding the world tallest indoor waterfall.

When entering the Cloud forest:
1- Pose in front of the waterfall and take some pic
2- make a move to the highest point first.
3- Then, from the top, descend via the 2 walkaways
4- The walkaway will bring you from one stage to another stage in the Cloud Forest.

There are 9 spots in the Cloud Forest. So, to ensure you didnt miss any of the spot, start with the Lost World immediately after enjoying the cooling-cooling moment at the waterfall. Take elevator to the Lost World (well, not so lost la right) at Level 7.
