this entry is kinda late. but still, i wanna share with all.
much due to the economic downturn. and the
SALE RECESSION going on everywhere. AF decided to make changes to the annual Christmas celebration. we adopt the theme of
Simplicity this year. which means
NO sinful dinner,
NO expensive gift exchange(limit to budget of $10 inclusive of the box). after some brainstorming, we arrived at the decision of picnic-ing at Marina Barrage. also, we poured in our flair of creativity and each tasked to decorate our individual gift box.

the entrance of this new iconic downtown reservoir.
some facts on Marina Barrage.The Marina Barrage is a dam in Singapore built across the Marina Channel between the reclaimed lands of Marina East and Marina South. It was officially opened on 1 November 2008.
Built across the mouth of the Marina Channel, the Marina Barrage creates Singapore’s 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. With a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, or one-sixth the size of Singapore, the Marina catchment is the island’s largest and most urbanised catchment.
The S$226 million project turns Marina Bay and Kallang Basin into a new downtown freshwater Marina Reservoir. It provides water supply, flood control and a new lifestyle attraction. This structure will provide flood control by changing the tide flow into the barrage.
