Flower Dome and Cloud Forest

Barely 2 weeks after our last visit to our country's latest attraction "Gardens by the bay", we (or rather me) couldn't contain our excitement to enter the 2 paid domes.. How can one not enter the 2 domes when they are there? =p
It's like eating pancakes without maple syrup.. Haha!

So we did what all eager Singaporeans would.. We flocked back to the gardens and went straight to the ticketing booth, skipping the peripheral gardens this time rd..

Being a Singaporean (with passion card) we bought the tickets at a discounted price of $18 for entry to both domes! Unlike most, I actually find the price reasonable.. Haha.. It's akin to paying for 2 movies tickets isn't it? Furthermore, I think Nparks did a great job! =)

Anyways, what I like about both temperature-controlled conservatories is the cool climate.. Made me feel like I'm in a foreign land.. Haha!

Flower Dome as the name suggests has so many varieties of flower species, and it makes strolling so much pleasurable and colourful!

Cloud Forest provides visitors a more exotic experience.. With the giant man made waterfall welcoming all at the entrance, I knew it's going to be very different from the Flower Dome.. It's more adventurous, more walking involved, at higher altitudes (thankfully, there are lifts to reach the top =p)..

Overall, it was a refreshing experience, compared to our usual weekend strolls in shopping malls.. Haha.. We got to see more greens, flowers, and more flowers~ we definitely went trigger-crazy there again.. Haha!
