mr goh can't take leave since his work schedule is like crazy to the max. (I still don't understand why they must work more than 15 hours each day...)
In any case, I'm happy that he made the effort to organise this... :))
so, we got ourselves the Imbiah surpriZe package ($55.50 per person), which is quite worth it really.. the imbiah lookout is the new happening place on sentosa. There are a lot more new rides and attractions and F&B places... and there's Ben & Jerry there too!! the sentosa person said we could finish all the rides and visit all the attractions in 5 hours, but the ticket is valid for two days.. so there's no rush to see everything. Plus, it was drizzling when we got to sentosa.. so we decided to catch the 4D magix show first! Very exciting!!
It was some pirates' show and by 4D, it is 3D plus one more D. haha. but it basically appeals to most of your senses: Sight, hearing, touch. The characters are very real!! almost like they're right in front of you and if you reach out your hand, you'd be able to touch them! and of course, there are the occasional shocks and bumps and splashing of water....it's really entertaining! A must-visit for all.
and then where else to go on a rainy day than to pig out at some makan place! there's Tastes of Singapore, which serves really expensive local flavours. chicken rice is freaking 8 bucks! and there's lobster laksa and satay and chicken wings. Not much variety of local flavours, but good enough.
and there's some kind of sentosa oxygenated water.
and we fiddled with the casio digicam a bit and found out the amazing stuff it can do!! (ok, maybe i very the suaku...)
and yes, i like to pose with drinks...
and we visited images of singapore... which is basically a revamped wax museum... there's still the usual wax figures of sir stamford raffles and our founding fathers but there are a lot more other cultural stuff on display there now...
the wax figurines looks pretty real i must say... and i didn't really want to stay there for long...
I was frightened by this lady actually. real woman, but i thought she was a wax figurine. so yeah, i don't think she was frightened by my screams though.
so, end of indoor stuff for us to do. Next up, Luge and skytrain!
we had to wear styrofoamy helmets (which is a bit disgusting cos some of them are still wet from the rain)
but the ride downhill is pretty exciting! I wish the track is longer though, and the thing i'm sitting on can go faster!! Really smart of sentosa to make use of their landscape. More exciting rides pls!!
Once we reach the bottom of the hill, we took a sky train up, back to where we started. :)
Mr goh is silly enough to count 'One, two, three' when he took pictures of our feet dangling in the air (as if the feet needs time to get ready to smile.. heehee).
The people in front of us... the mechanisms of this whole luge and sky train thing is quite impressive. You take the luge downhill. and the sky train carries the luge and the passengers uphill. chicken feet.
Next up, the Carlsberg Sky Tower.
It is 131 m above sea level when u reach the top most of the tower. Throughout the ride, it slowly rotates 360 degrees so you can see all of sentosa and the neighbouring islands.
Mr goh says I look like a carlsberg girl. : l
I'm awed by the view... hurhur. there's the sijori resort in the middle.
Time for some ice cooler drinks at the Skybar.
whose photography skill is better??
We then took the cable car to Harbourfront for dinner. There's this place which serves really good la mian. I tried their hainanese pork chop la mian, Thumbs up! and the mango pudding was delicious too! mr goh had their omelettle fried rice and we got a "three cup chicken" too. no photos, cos we're too hungry and finished the food!
On the cable car back....we hopped on a PINK cable car. Harhar.
actually wanted to walk along the beach and chill out by the beach bars. but nope, too tired for that. exhausted from work, from having too little sleep the nights before. T-I-R-E-D. then we noticed something strange about the fishes at sijori...they like to drink water!! all the fishes will gather at the "spring" and drink water from there! has it anything to do with sentosa's oxygenated water??
we bought chips but dunno how come we seemed to have misplaced it. and we bought fruit juices (which we conveniently left it in the fridge) and we watched the patriot showing on channel 5. hur... getting old le. and we slept til 12 noon the next day. hur. just in time to check out by 1230pm. we initially wanted to swim in the morning. : l
to the Merlion we go. we tried to pretend we're tourists and we acted silly. Mr goh's initial intention was to put his hands on the seashells.
On top of the merlion...
Mr goh told me the cctv behind me is the telescope and i peered right into it. : l
yes, i can be so bimbotic.
In the merlion's mouth....
and finally, the butterfly park.
on wings of butterflies...
lotsa creepy crawlies!! and cockroaches of all kinds! bigger than my thumb!!
and then there were the fireflies!! and their shiny buttocks. which concluded our time on sentosa island. We must go to the underwater world the next time!!
for now, bye bye sentosa,
Sealed with a kiss,
