Greetings! It's been more than a month since my last post, and if you're new here, feel free to catch up on our previous adventures by following the links down, down below.
The night was still young. Our last stop was Gardens by the Bay, where we enjoyed a repeat visit to the mesmerizing Supertrees adorning the surroundings under the night sky. Our return to this spot brought back memories of our 2014 trip, where we were too exhausted physically, our cameras running low on battery, and our feet seemed too heavy to carry.
Here’s one of my old photos of the Supertrees captured back then. Isn't it fascinating to see the 'Then and Now' of our journey?
Now, it’s time to move on to my pursuit of extreme philately with the glitters of Marina Bay Sands using a commemorative stamp from my collection.
I used this Marina Bay Skyline stamp issued on May 28, 2013 with four denominations, namely, 1st Local, $2, 65c and 2nd Local.

The set above consists of four adjoining stamps showcasing the unique feature and intriguing concept of Tête-bêche (ˈtet-ˈbesh/tāt-’beSH), a French term describing two or more intact stamps that are inverted or upside down in relation to each other.

Then for my venture into extreme deltiology, I turned to the 'Gardens by the Bay' postcard displaying an awesome view of the Supertrees, also with Marina Bay Sands at the background, a familiar choice from my previous post.
I confess it took me quite a number of repeat shots and rejections. It was difficult taking portrait views with all the glittering lights. These are the most acceptable ones featuring the Supertrees at the background.
Very good work.
