Finally met Zhenghannie!
After more than a year of 'it's been a long time',
'we should meet up soon' and 'when are you ever free'
exchanges over Facebook, MSN and SMS..
.
Went to Food for Thought at Q8 for
makan siang and
kopi.. And then.. Decided to
kaypo the spanking new Bras Basah MRT Station.. It's the deepest station of the entire MRT system and has the system's longest escalator at 41.3 meters.. Located just in front of my church, this project has been giving us a lot of problems since work started almost 10 years ago..
. The most likeable feature of this station has got to be its roof that doubles up as a skylight and landscape element - a water-covered glass skylight.. Viewed from street level, it is a reflection pool, from the station platform, it is an immense skylight.. What is more cool about this station is that its void is designed as a huge light reflector.. The sloping wall picks up the diffuse skylight and bounces light through huge slots into the adjacent platform space, which is below Bras Basah Road.. So even the deepest part of the station gets to receive natural light.. How eco-friendly!
