Visited Marina Barrage, Singapore's 15th reservoir and the first in the heart of the city. The Marina Barrage is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang.

During heavy rain, the series of nine crest gates at the dam will be activated to release excess storm water into the sea when the tide is low.

In the case of high tide, giant pumps which are capable of pumping an Olympics-size swimming pool per minute will drain excess storm water into the sea.

We made a mistake by coming here today. It's crowded with people as the end point for the Big Walk is at the Marina Barrage and there are also organised tours conducted. Anyway, we didn't manage to explore the whole place because of the crowd and the weather was super hot. The 7th Storey charcoal steamboat at Rochor will be moving to its new home at the Marina Barrage in December.

Ugly citizens pushing one another to get free recycle bag or whatever you call it.

Sudden craving for prata so I surfed the net and found MR. Prata which is located at Evan road just beside NIE. Overall quite satisfying and will definitely be coming back for more.

The Mee Goreng is quite delicious. It's not like those that I tried at coffee shop which is much sweeter as this version is much spicy.
