Location: SENTOSA ISLAND, SINGAPORE
I am on the edge of my seat, quite literally. My feet are dangling in the air. I make sure my seat belt is fastened, place my orange slushie on the table in front of me, and secure my phone. I wouldn’t want to lose a panoramic timelapse video of Singapore from nearly 79 metres above sea level. I am on the highest panoramic ride in Singapore—SkyHelix Sentosa, which is also the island’s first carbon-neutral attraction. The open-air gondola slowly ascends to a height and gently rotates to give the flyers a 360° view of Singapore—stretching from Sentosa to the Keppel Bay area and the Southern Islands. Later, I learn that SkyHelix Sentosa gets its name from the vertical helix-like structure, and can also be spotted from the Singapore Cable Car.
I’m in Sentosa to shoot for our cover with actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who meets up with us later in the day. I landed in Singapore in the wee hours of morning and even in semi darkness, it was hard to miss its towering skyscrapers. I spend the rest of the day with the crew, scouting various locations on the island
