Faring well

No it’s not piss­ing down, it’s a performance.

A cou­ple of ‘land­marks’ bid good bye this week — the National Sta­dium, which I dare say has more sen­ti­men­tal value than the other ‘land­mark’, the Musi­cal Foun­tain on Sen­tosa, Singapore’s Last Resort Island.

Chan­nel­newsa­sia reports that ‘it staged it’s final two per­for­mances to a sell-out crowd’. Which gives it a cou­ple of firsts — it’s prob­a­bly the first foun­tain that ‘per­forms’, and it’s prob­a­bly the only foun­tain that peo­ple pay money to come watch perform.

Odd, but hey, it’s Sin­ga­pore and weirder things have happened.

Chan­nel­newsa­sia reported of the National Sta­dium that:

“The National Sta­dium — home to 18 National Day Parades, scores of national games and the Kallang Wave — will be demol­ished later this year to make way for the Sports Hub.”

Vale, National Sta­dium! And, um, yeah, Musi­cal Foun­tain. Um… you shall be missed?

    Well, the new show will cost addi­tional to watch. I believe it’s S$6. So, you’ll be pay­ing entrance fee to Sen­tosa plus fee to watch the new show.

    the ????, Clif­ford Pier is also gone.
    east coast chalets also gone.
    and why do they always have to announce the clo­sure with like 2 days’ notice.

    I see this mis­take too often.
    it’s = it is

    In this case, it should be ‘its’ as a pos­s­esive pronoun.

    sir, you might have for­got­ten another first. it was prob­a­bly the first time the musi­cal foun­tain had ‘per­formed’ to a sell out crowd.
