Singapore - a land of wild night life and night wild life

Today, in the early hours, we've returned home after a 3-day vacation spent in Singapore. During this trip we stayed with my friend Vasu's family.

Abnormally, we started our vacation with shopping and ended with sight seeing. Obviously our shopping took place in Mustafa centre. I wondered how many brains and years spent in building such a large business empire. I really long to know its history.

The second day we went to the Sentosa Island, which has rejuvenated our spirits with its greenery and scenic beauty. The musical fountain/laser show organised in evenings is a must see for everyone who visits Singapore. We were astonished by the technology used in the presentation. Hats off to its conceiver(s) and creator(s).

We couldn't make it to experience 'Cinemania', another attraction in Sentosa Island. This is where one can vitually involve in the scene being played on the screen.

Happy moments

In the last month, my sweet darling Sree along with her mother paid a visit to my work place. We spent a couple of hours in our office and then left to Putrajaya, the mind capital of Malaysia. This particular pic was taken near a mosque. I like this photo for its angle of taking, background, lighting and many more.

Ithaa: World's First All-Glass Undersea Restaurant Opens

On April 15th the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opened its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. Ithaa (pronounced eet-ha) means ‘pearl' in the language of the Maldives, Dhivehi. The restaurant sits five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean and is surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.

Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, Ithaa's distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions. “The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear acrylic makes this unique in the world,” says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa.

The five-meter by nine-meter transparent arch, which spans the entire room, seats 14 people and provides a feeling of being completely at one with the underwater world while submerged beneath the surface of the ocean. Set with the resort's renowned house reef one side, and a clear lagoon on the other, diners enjoy their meal within Ithaa's translucent shell as the underwater drama unfolds on all sides.
