Thanks again to T, the friend with connections, we had free tickets to the Singapore Flyer and went over the weekend. I, honestly, would not have paid so much money to have a ride as high as a HDB building to look at construction sites from the aerial view. But since it was free, to hell with it ~
The ride lasted under 30 mins, and I was secretly praying that it would stall so that I can claim a ridiculous amount of insurance money to start traveling again. Unfortunately, it did not happen (Damn you, additional power supply)
We were rewarded with views of the Marina Barrage.

The Stadium that was supposed to be destroyed but still standing there (National Stadium)
The cabin was spacious and air conditioned, there was a free audio guide provided to give a running commentary on the history of Singapore. But everyone in my group were busy cam-whoring to even bother listening to it.
The location where the National Parade is held
I wouldn't go again until the Integrated Resorts are fully constructed, which will be a while, given the current difficulty in raising funding (e.g. the Sands) But if you are interested in riding the world's biggest Ferris Wheel, do go in the night time, where the cover of darkness makes everything so much better. Twinkling lights make it so much more romantic. Where a free flow of booze and sugary desserts will make me so much happier(purchased as a package from the restaurants nearby).
