Marina Barrage
|
|
Built across the mouth of the Marina Channel, the Marina Barrage creates Singapore’s 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. With a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, or one-sixth the size of Singapore, the Marina catchment is the island’s largest and most urbanised catchment. Together with two other new reservoirs, the Marina Reservoir will boost Singapore’s water catchment from half to two-third’s of the country’s land area.
With the barrage in place, the Marina Basin will turn into a body of freshwater through natural flushing in one to two years. The freshwater will then be treated using advanced membrane technology before consumption.
View from the Marina Barrage
Local catchment water is one of the Four National Taps, with the other three being imported water, NEWater and desalinated water.
As one of the pillars of local water supply, Marina Reservoir will meet more than 10% of Singapore’s current water demand.
The Marina Barrage is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang.
During heavy rain, the series of nine crest gates at the dam will be activated to release excess storm water into the sea when the tide is low.
The side where the sea water is.
In the case of high tide, giant pumps which are capable of pumping an Olympics-size swimming pool per minute will drain excess storm water into the sea.
A great place for kids to chill out.
As the water in the Marina Basin is unaffected by the tides, its water level will be kept constant all year round. This is ideal for all kinds of recreational activities such as boating, windsurfing, kayaking and dragon boating etc.
the pump room that provides oxygen to the process water, it's too clean till there's not even micro-organism can survive there.

Baan Boa Resort
|
|
Since we're travelling with young kids, we decided upon the hotel with pool, just opposite the beach. The adult pool even have jaquzzi! We only paid about S$50 per night, inclusive of breakfast, since it's non peak period, but comes high season , the price doubled!
The rooms are spacious and clean, with balconies, but without lifts. Tak cerewet lah, sebab banyak hotel mid range kat sini kebanyakan nya agak jauh dari pantai, nasib baik lah dorang beri kita bilik di tengkat yang rendah.

Suatu pagi di pantai Patong, Phuket.
|
|
Sementara orang dewasa masih lagi sedap tidur, mummy pun ajak lah dua anak sedara ni bermain di pantai yang terletak di depan hotel kami. Waktu masih terlalu awal, jadi kawasan pantai Patong ni masih tak ramai pengunjung nya. Sambil budak2 ni bermain pasir dan ombak, mummy pun sibuk lah menembak....

Swimming with the fishes
|
|
At Khai Nok Island, Phuket.
I don't mind setting up a home there, it's almost a paradise to me.....as long there's electricity, internet connection and someone to supply me with all the groceries! but the trip to this island is not something I look forward to, since it's about 1/2 hour speed boat ride away from the jetty and I get motion sickness!
anak sedara posing !
ikan2 tu tak gigit kaki, dorang cuma nak roti aje, pandai betul lah dorang ni.
mummy pun join sekaki nak posing dengan ikan
dorang ni dah tak payah suruh posing, pantang nampak camera mummy!
makan, makan jangan tak makan!

Warung tepi jalan
|
|
Walaupun terdapat banyak restaurant yang menjual makanan halal di Patong Beach, Phuket, terdapat juga warung berkereta tolak yang berugama islam, mencari rezeki di sana. Nampak nya crepe/pancake menjadi kegemaran para pelancung disana.
Nak makan jagung bakar pun ada...
Ketika berjalan2 sambil cuci mata dan pocket, terjumpa pulak sorang mamat bangla sedang menjual roti prata/canai di depan sebuah hotel. Laku jugak nampak nya, walaupun pun tak diberi kuah kari. Penjual tu meletak kan susu manis pada roti tersebut. Anak2 sedara mummy memang suka makan roti sebegini, dorang panggil roti bom. Selalu jugak mummy ikut dorang makan roti bom kalau singgah kat Johore.
Yang ini pulak penjual sayur2an di waktu malam, pembeli nya terdiri dari pekerja2 dari kedai2 yang berderet di situ.
