Go Fly Kite - Singapore

Wednesday, 7 May 2008 23:32 PM

Something really cool is going on in a park near Robertson Quay in Singapore every night. A bunch of enthusiasts play with remote controlled motorized kites. The kites have colorful lights built in to them which makes for an interesting display against the black night sky.

I noticed this from far away while I walked towards Clark Quay and saw different colors of light move around in the sky. Coming closer these Unidentified Flying Objects turned out to be these RC kites.

It’s an interesting concept - the kites make hardly any noise and they seem to ‘magically’ fly around. They can do flips, inverts, rolls, etc - all quite spectacular.

To singapore

Tuesday, 11 March 2008 08:34 AM

It’s a dusty and smoggy day in Hong Kong - as you will see in the background of this picture. On the right you see the hills leading up to Sunset peak.

I’m waiting next to gate 47 for my flight to Singapore. I’ll be there a bit more often in the coming months - so I better get used to taking this flight.

Clark Quay

Greetings from Singapore this week. Client meetings and a visit to CommunicAsia.
Tonight having a diner with a colleague in Clark Quay. Weather is surprisingly close to Hong Kong’s this time of the year.

Here are some latest pictures. Some from Singapore, some from Discovery Bay.

I particularly like the one on which he’s lying on his king-size bed in a 5 star hotel in Singapore.

off to Singapore

Monday, 26 February 2007 15:06 PM

Sitting in the CX735 to Singapore, waiting for push back at the gate. Today in an Airbus 340-300, and should take about 3.5 hours. Hong Kong’s hazy, Singapore’s rainy - so nothing new.

Singapore

Sunday, 21 January 2007 16:06 PM

That city in the background is Singapore and we are in Sentosa Island. Hot and humid, so having some cold drinks to refresh.

We took Matthijs to the Zoo this morning - his favorites are the zebras.

Always good to be in Singapore!
