DBS Marina Regatta Dragon Boat 2012 - Joyride

-
DBS Marina Regatta Dragon Boat 2012 held from 4-6 May 2012 in the Marina Bay Waterfront area, Singapore. The international Dragon Boat race event sponsored by DBS Bank attracted about 100 teams to compete in various races and many teams are from overseas countries like Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Brunei and Indonesia. The Indonesians are all out to win as seen by the way they trained in the waters. As Mrupupup was invited by DBS Bank marketing department (thanks DBS!), I had an exclusive chance to preview the event and take nice photos. I would thank also the URA Marina Bay staff for arranging the Joyride in a Dragon Boat right to the middle of Marina Bay Waterfront area (near to Marina Bay Sands). I got one video to show how 'hard' we amateurs paddle in the short joyride (about 200 metres). The joyride was fun and 'risky' because Mrupupup kind of worried Dragon Boat would capsize. Haha! Nothing happen and we joyride the Dragon Boat with lots of splashes!

Do visit the DBS Marina Regatta Dragon Boat 2012 at the Marina Bay area and there will be exciting dragon boat races, a carnival for families, great Marina Bay Waterfront scenery and soak in the atmosphere. Enjoy the pictures below and one video of the Dragon Boat Joyride (end of this post). Really fun! Thanks Fen and Kazae, Juliana.

If you want to buy snacks, one can go to One Huat Trading located at Blk 9 Telok Blangah Crescent Singapore 090009 postal code (located at the corner of the void deck HDB shop spaces and nearer to the hawker centre).

The shop sells many versions of Japanese Pocky boxes (those long biscuits coated with matcha or chocolate sauce). Have a look at the variety of snacks - pictures taken below. One more thing, the uncle is nice and friendly and would tell which snacks are popular and good buy. A money saving tip if you want to buy yummy snacks!

Escape Theme Park Singapore

Escape Theme Park is an amusement park in Pasir Ris. The place I think is losing its shine to Resorts World Universal Studios in Sentosa. I still like the daytona go kart rides (took mutliple times), pirates swing boat, and playing the carnival games (won small teddy bear).
