Photo Celebration: Singapore Turns 50

“Home is where the heart is.”

Singapore city skyline was lighted up by fireworks on August 9, 2015.

I would like to share some photos of Singapore which were taken when I stayed over at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) Integrated Resort last weekend. We had decided to have a family overnight get-together in celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday. Developed by Las Vegas Sands, MBS is a casino hotel that fronts superb views of the bay front and city skyline.

The stay at MBS was luxurious but befitting the occasion of achieving an important milestone – hitting 50! It is a milestone with a lot of accomplishments to be proud of. From a backward Third World country with practically no natural resources, Singapore has transformed to a world-class island city in a short space of time. As we recount how far we had come despite all challenges, we feel thankful, joyful and blessed.

It has been a weekend of lights, song and festivities. Here are some photos…

More fireworks in the sky as seen from MBS.

View of Gardens by the Bay from Skypark on 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands.

Hotel guests swimming at night in the infinity pool atop the Skypark….brrr…the water was cold!

View of the Singapore Air Force “Black Knights” team in their fighter jets from MBS. The team put up an impressive performance!

I also met with a Japanese lady who read my translated book Self-Love Secrets in Japanese. We were at a dinner and dance award ceremony over last weekend when we were introduced. The greatest compliment I received was that she has been taking down notes from my book and recording them as reminders in her handphone. I was absolutely thrilled to know that 🙂

I would also like to thank Luke Elijah, who is a professional photographer, for his permission to republish the “fireworks” photos he took when he joined me at MBS. I love the brilliance in his photos!

Here is wishing Singapore another amazing 50 years ahead! Let’s not take peace and prosperity for granted. May we all enjoy tons and tons of wonderful blessings!

Love and Abundance Always,
