Singapore Flyer Virgin Flight~!

Eat your hearts out people! I rode the Singapore Flyer last night! Haha.. So here's a sneak preview of what it's like being 165m above sea level!

The Embarkation and Disembarkation Point at Level 3.
Buckle up everybody! Here we go!

Welcome Aboard! Singapore Flyer Inaugural Flight!

The pretty pretty lights and cars! I forgot to take a picture of the Esplanade.. -.-'

Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort!

Marina Bay Golf Course!


Going Up! See the ladder on the left? It's for our special case D.A.R.T Team to climb if they need to rescue people trapped in the capsules..

Going Down! Feels like I'm falling down..

The 4 Lucky Part Timers! Me, Evelyn, Aunty Serene and Yee Yong..

We were the only 4 in the whole capsule..

The GOW team kept disturbing us with ghostly sounds thru the PA system.. -.-'

Wooo.. We look like some ghosts with the blue blue lights.. And yes people, this is the first time I've let anybody see me in my SF uniform.. Go on and laugh.. I know we look like fitness instructors.. =p



Coach Bay for Tour Buses! That pole in the centre reminds me of the Changi Airport Control Tower.. Haha..

Baggage Check In Area! It's like a huge warehouse in there.. And its super cooling at night..

Singapore Flyer Staff Pass! And yes, I'm called Robyn at Flyer.. Haha.. I think I've explained why in one of previous posts..

A short video I took..

Singapore Flyer Promotional Video

Yup.. That depicts my exciting 1st time on board the Flyer.. I'm gonna have to try the Day flight one day.. See how different it is from the Night flight.. Haha.. Many many thanks to Joseph who allowed us on board during our shifts.. Hehe..

Anyway, to whoever out there in the world who is spreading rumours that Singapore Flyer is fully booked for the 1st 3 months, stop bullshitting! We're not even fully booked on the 1st day lah except for the Night flights (We're overbooked on them actually.. Oops!)

Oh well.. I guess you guys have alot of questions on how the Flyer actually works and the prices.. Well, lemme give you guys a brief introduction to the Singapore Flyer.. =)

The staff team at SF is seperated into many sections.. We have Ticketing Officers (that's me), Hospitality Crew, Giant Observation Wheel (GOW) Technical Team, G4 Security Officers, G8 Moments Photography Team, Adval Sales & Marketing, MeGu (Kriston) F&B, ISS Cleaning Services and In-Audio Audio Guides..

There are 4 Ticketing Counters located in Flyer namely at the Promenade, Carpark, Level 2 and Management Office.. We have 3 types of ticketing categories- Basic, Express and Signature Cocktail.. The ticket prices are in the respective order of Adult, Child (3- 12 Years Old) and Senior Citizen (60 Years & Above).. Coloured Tags are given out for differentiation..

1) Basic- Normal Ride ($29.50, $20.65, $23.60)

2) Express- Faster Clearance through Security.. Blue Tag.. ($52, $36.40, $41.60)

3) Signature Cocktail- 1 Glass of SF Cocktail, Faster Clearance through Security and a Souvenir SF Cocktail Glass.. Orange Tag.. *Only 6 flights per day and 3 capsules allocated per flight and customers must buy the tickets 3 hours in advance.. ($69, $48.30, $55.20)

The Ticket.

The 1st flight of the day is 830am and the last flight is 10pm.. There is a 30 minute interval in between each flight.. E.g. 830am, 9am, 930am, 10am.. Each flight last for 37 mins.. There are 28 capsules in total and each capsule can take up to 28 people.. All the newspaper say we only accept 26 per capsule.. I have no idea why.. The loading and unloading time per capsule is 1 min and 14 secs..

The price for booking down an entire capsule is $1850 during Peak Periods and $1000 for Non- Peak Periods.. Wedding Couples get to ride 2 rounds to enable them enough time to say "I Do"..

Starting 1 March, there would be a 10% off all tickets for UOB cardholders.. We accept all credit cards except for JCB.. NETS and Cash is accepted too.. However, just a warning to everybody.. The only ATM machine available at SF is ABN AMRO and the nearest DBS/ POSB ATM is at the Esplanade or Marina Square which is a 15 mins walk away from SF.. So pls draw enuff money before coming.. *Currently, I do not have staff discounts as they're still implementing it.. So I can't buy any tixs for you guys.. Sorry..

Oh yeah.. I guess another question is.. HOW TO I GET TO SINGAPORE FLYER? Well, very easy but a long journey.. The nearest MRT is City Hall.. Promenade MRT will be up in 2010.. There are 3 ways of walking all equally long..

1) Esplande- At Level 1, walk out from the entrance beside The Cookie Museum and you'll see a bus stop and DXO.. Walk along the path along DXO and Makan Sutra and head str8 towards the Flyer.. Very visible at this point..

2) Marina Square- Head towards the main centre foyer on Level 1 of Marina Square and walk towards the direction pointing to the cinema.. You'll soon come to some food hub with Killney, Famous Amos, A1 Curry Puff etc.. Walk out the exit at Killney and walk down the passageway on your right.. You'll pass John Little's staff entrance.. Continue walking and you come to a long flight of stairs.. Walk down and the Flyer should be visible by then.. Continue walking..

3) From City Hall Mrt, take the escalator pointing towards Raffles City and head right after that.. Walk str8 past Cafe Cartel and Swissotel.. Just keep walking str8 until you reach an underground passageway.. Walk through it and after you pass it, the Flyer should be visible..

Hoo! I think I talked alot in this post.. Hehe.. Will continue next time.. Tml is Singapore Flyer's opening day.. Working 730am to 4pm.. It'll be quite exciting I guess? And Singapore's 2nd and Largest Popeye is opening at Singapore Flyer too.. It's really huge..

Okie Bye!

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real income.
It gets down to select a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Well, If you have ever thought about writing some script to automate those things that you are doing many times on a daily basis, then you have a great and easy way to automate the entir e process. It comes without saying that a few imacros and firefox add-ons can automate all actions related to a browser (Mozilla). If you wish to automate your system as such, then you'll need another script, easy commands will automate your system. Even a beginner will automate things using a simple software called as sikuli all you need to do is to tell Sikuli what to do by giving some screenshots and straightforward commands.
A GUI will be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a mixture of straightforward commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it simply searches the screen for the image within the screenshot-which implies that you'll be able to use it for anything. There's literally no limit on how you use it to automate things.
This is too good to be true, but if you watch the subsequent video, you may come to know that this is extremely easy. If you visit their home page, you get a lot of tutorials and support; it will be a cake walk even for beginners. You'll check the video as well as get the software at [url=http://technoages.com/operating-system/apple-mac-os/automate-everything-through-a-simple-script-make-your-computer-listen-to-you/]TechnoAges.com[/url]
