Recently, I visited a lesser-known Marina at Keppel Bay, which is located at Keppel Island (Singapore). I knew about this place from some friends a while ago but only managed to explore now. For the location, please view it here (Google Maps).

Marina at Keppel Bay

Yachts lined up at their berths against the iconic bridge. At the background, you can see the cable cars leading to HarbourFront Centre (building on the left) and after which to Sentosa. This is a looping service where the starting point is as The Jewel Box at Mount Faber.

On 9th August 2009, we celebrated Singapore 44th National Day. I didn’t manage to get any tickets (through e-balloting via NDP website) for the National Day Parade (NDP) and hence will have to watch the live telecast on TV. But I can still show you the decorations that the country put up during this period of celebration. The above photo is taken from my apartment window.
