Harold.Casapao: Gardens by the Bay

I was never really interested in flowers when I was kid. All the flowers I knew back then (in the Philippines) were the normal one you can find anywhere in the streets: suntan, gumamela (ooh bubbles bubbles), sampaguita, kalachuchi and of course, roses. I can still remember that you can buy multicolored painted roses other than the natural colored ones(oh poor roses!). Not sure if they are still selling it now.

Thankfully, my wife have introduced me to a lot of beautiful flowers. However, it raised the budget of giving her one - LOL. Tulips and Lilies are in, Mums and Gerbera daisies are out! I realized now that instead of giving the predictable and typical bouquet to your loved-one, you can bring him/her to the flowers!

Gardens by the Bay is one of the latest attraction in Singapore. It houses a lot of gardens from different parts of the world. The gardens and conservatories are self sustained - meaning power/energy is obtained within its environment and nothing goes to waste - How cool is that! For more details, check out their website and go for a quick tour.

Some (or most) of you think that buying flowers nowadays are a waste of money. I can't blame you since flowers will eventually be forgotten in a couple of days and it wilts as fast a kid eating ice cream for the first time. So, instead of paying SGD$60+ for a bouquet, pay the same amount for thousands of flowers and unforgettable memories. Then tell your BF/GF that they are also saving the world in the process. That's cheesiness and nobility in one. Boom!

Since we went there at past noon, most of my pictures were overexposed and since my photography skills deteriorated, I forgot what settings to adjust (excuses excuses). So pardon my few pictures below but I assure you that there are a lot to be seen there at Gardens by the Bay. You will really get your money's worth.
