DHL Balloon

This is the view from my office building. Maybe the building is near the sea or on the high level but you can hear the wind howling at times.

It is a marvel the DHL Balloon can land directly on the designated circle. I heard the rides will cease by end of April. Not sure how true that is.

The dark building (Parkview Square) is Singapore's version of Gotham City :p It is actually art-deco or something (I am not an artsy person to know the different terms) but it is interesting. There are "figures" standing tall near the top of the building, like Oscar. And there are also gargoyles on the building and there are busts/statues on the grounds.

The short white building is the 7-storey hotel. I quite like the "layering" effect of the different levels. It has been around for a long time though I have never set foot in it, only drove past it.

The bare grass patch near Parkview Square was due to a roadshow by BMW. The grass was damaged after a few weeks of having a huge exhibit/platform on it.
