Remember the Singapore Garden Festival which I had briefly featured in March?
Yup, 4 long months and it is finally here!
We visited the exhibition at Suntec Convention Centre last Sunday afternoon. The queue at the ticket counter was long but it was very smooth-going as the staff worked effectively, directing visitors to specific counters quickly.
There were two halls – one on level 4 and the other on level 6. We thought of giving ourselves 2 hours or so but we were stuck there for almost 4 hours! It was just a flowers exhibition with 2 small halls. We began to worry if we could even visit as many pavilions as possible during our upcoming Shanghai trip later. The Shanghai Expo 2010 covers about 500 hectares! Ahh..
Coming back to the Garden Festival.. we ain’t fans of flowers, but it seems that we do enjoy visiting exhibitions (depending on what are the exhibits lah!) and most importantly, it is a great venue for shutterbugs. Capturing nice shots in an indoor exhibition was not easy for me due to my trembling fingers. What do I do when I see a must-not-be-missed shot? Instruct my second pair of hands to capture it for me! :D

We took more than 700 shots during the 4-hour tour. It was a great show, especially the landscapes and fantasy gardens. We find the orchid garden at level 6 (corrected by an attentive reader :D) level 4 a little boring though. A very satisfying visit nevertheless!
