Giant Rubber Ducky at Osaka
Over at Osaka, Japan, there is a duck floating. It’s huge, it’s yellow, and it’s made of rubber XD. It’s 10m tall! I want to see it in Singapore! I guess many people would flock there just to see a giant rubber ducky ;)
The prosaically named Suito Osaka Rubber Duck Project, designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, has seen a 9.5m tall by 11m long rubber duck statue floated on the city’s waterways, for no particular reason. The duck has previously menaced other cities, but this is its first appearance in Japan.
You can view the youtube video below to see how Ducky got inflated with air XD. It’s not the one in Japan though, sadly :(
Have you seen this ducky before?

I recall Singapore having some duck charity thing long time ago on Singapore river where you purchased a duck serial number for a $1 donation and if your duck crosses the finish line first, you win something.

Yeah. Purchase a small rubber duck, float it down the Singapore River or something and the 1st to cross the finishing line wins a huge amount.

Kind of reminds me of Ar Tonelico 2…
Were any cute girls Dualstalling? :3

Funny… I suddenly start thinking about Ernie from Sesame Street singing “Rubber Ducky… your the one…” while he’s taking his bath…
Where I live, we also have a similar event… purchase a rubber duck for a $1 and race it down the creek. Winner gets a prize.
