I took a trip to Singapore a couple of months ago, and took lots of pictures.
But I have been unable to identify some of the buildings I shot. They're all in very prominent locations, but I've been unable to track them down.

Any ideas?

This one is right by the river.

This one is under construction on the banks of the river, around the bend from the first one. I'd say it's across the river from Clarke Quay.

These two buildings are northeast of the ferry terminal by Sentosa.

Here's a closer view of the white one.

This one is in Little India.

Any help with this is appreciated.

The short metallic building is part of the tower behind it. Called Pickering Operations Complex, another name is City Telecoms Centre. :) Designed by Kenzo Tange. Quite a mysterious building, I think it's an office and telecoms facility.

This is Central. A "soho" office/residential and retail mall project, now the mall is open

The pointed tower is Alexandra Point, office tower.

I think this is Harbour View Towers, residential.

Sorry no idea what the name of this is.

The orange tower block is part of a public housing complex, called Rowell Court
The white skyscraper is The Concourse, an office/residential/retail complex designed by Paul Rudolph


Hope this helps, and hope you enjoyed your stay:D

The condominium building Redstone left out is called Scotts 28. The small red-roofed tower in front belongs to Goodwood Park Hotel.

Thanks for the replies, they helped a lot.

I miss Singapore a lot. I'm considering moving to Asia for six month to a year sometime in 2008 or 2009.

Unfortunately, from an immigration and cost standpoint Hong Kong looks easier and cheaper. But I certainly plan to visit Singapore as often as I can while I'm over there.
