My SBTP partner in crime decided that to meet up after the longest time. It has been almost half a year since we last spent time hanging out and talk about life and most of the meet ups will normally be at Orchard. This time round I decided to go elsewhere, where both of us might enjoy, Marina Bay Sands. Poor boy have yet to visit the place since it opened. True enough he was thrilled to have gone to MBS for all the luxury boutiques lined up at MBS Shoppes.
Another reason I choose MBS was to check out the light show. It recently opened on 17th February 2011 and their time slots are on every Friday and Saturday at 8pm, 9.30pm and 11pm, and Sundays at 8pm and 9.30pm. It can be viewed around the Marina Bay but it seems that the best view is at MBS itself. Before the show, the view from MBS wasn't that fantastic as viewed from elsewhere around the bay. There was a bare skyline around the Padang and City Hall area which is smacked in the middle of Raffles Place skyline and Suntec Skyline.

Back to the light show, it's unlike Hong Kong's Symphony of Lights where participating skyline around the bay will tune it's lightings to the music of the show. At MBS, it's about projection on water mist, which could be badly disrupted by the wind where the screen medium can be highly distorted. Though the laser can be quite mesmerizing but the whole show is something like a number from the National Day Parade. I'm not too sure how receptive a tourist would feel about the show but I'm for sure didn't enjoyed it.

A better projection medium and a clearer projection,
though it seems like those you'll see from NDP shows |
