I went to Sentosa wif my frens on sat. We took the ferry becoz cable cars a bit too expensive.. Hopefully next time can go by cable.. kinda forgot how it feels like to be able to enjoy the scenery from above. =)
Our 1st destination was to Palawan Beach. The original plan was to spent our whole afternoon there before heading to S.E.A. Village Restaurant for dinner and then to the Musical Fountain.
But alas... just as we were bout to begin our fun, it RAINED!!!! Oh my!~ how "fun" it was... and my plan to get tan was ruin once again. so sad!
We gave up waiting for the rain to stop after bout an hour. It was pretty meaningless to just sit there and wait, so we took the monorail and "tour" around sentosa while deciding where to go.
Our 2nd destination was to the Underwater World. It was a pretty nice experience.. kinda refreshed my memories. There was this "touch pool" whereby ppl can get to touch the fishes. I wanted to touch those fishes very much but somehow I lack the courage to do so. Maybe becoz I imagine too much... kinda puts me off.
However, I did touched the starfish.. only after Siling did so... haha.. Its texture is very rough, like touching a rock/stone.
We moved on and saw many nice and even weird looking fishes.
Quite a few left a deep impression (the sea horses, jellyfish, stonefish, dugong) which i wanted to share wif u guys...
If u see a sea horse, u may think its cute, pretty or jus plain funny. But when u see them in groups, it becums a bit gross! haha.. personal opinion lah..
The jellyfish is really very kewl.. wif the lighting effects, u can actually see them glow... Then there is the stonefish.. oh my!~ so ugly!! hahaha...
din really mean to criticise but erm... really not nice loh
Lastly, there is this dugong (aka seacow) which is said to be the most possible creature to be mistaken as a mermaid. Basically its the way she swim and the tail tat looks like the mermaid.. face wise.. err... eeeeeeee
But she is very cute.. becoz we realised she likes to "bang" her nose against objects. Dunno y she did tat though.
u might be wondering y i use words like "she" & "her". Well, simply becoz.. her name is GRACIE !!! Y tat name?? coz me to be "suan" by my frens.. hehe
After that, we went to the Dolphin Lagoon to see the pink dolphins. We waited for a long time as the performance was delayed due to the heavy rain.
Din get a gd view too becoz there were many tourists and all the gd seats were taken. But basically the show was nice. the dolphins r really clever and cute.
They did many stunts like hitting the ball wif their powerful tail & jumping through the hula hoops. A pity i din get to take photos of them.
Just for ur info, these pink dolphins r not totally pink. In fact, they r grey in color like normal dolphins when they r born. They only turn pink as they grow... kewl rite!~
After the show, we went to have our dinner buffet at S.E.A. Village Restaurant, which was overlooking the Keppel Straits and harbour.
The atmosphere of this restaurant was really gd.. it was very relaxing as u get cool wind blowing at u. Its kinda romantic too.. hee... =) I think its a nice place for couples to have dinner here..
The food here is rather gd... let me roughly list out the food we had tat night.
There is chicken rice (though the tray for the chicken is always empty, u have to be quick), bee hoon, toufu, vegetables, fried crabmeat, sambal fish, mussels, lobster porridge, sponge cakes, agar agar, pineapple tarts..
oh... feeling hungry now..
Anyway, for those who r gng to Sentosa, I think u can try eating there.. really not bad..
After a hearty meal, we went back to Palawan Beach. by then the rain had stopped.
We crossed the suspended bridge to the opposite islet, which is the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia. Then we went up to the the highest level of the viewing tower and played wif some of the fireworks tat serene brought. Cant really enjoy the view as it was too dark.
Thus we went back to the beach to use up the remaining fireworks & candles. We formed a heart shape on the sand wif them.Rromantic sia.. heehee
Had a hard time getting the candles light up as the wind was rather strong. We also wrote "Dao Ci Yi You" with our initials and footprints and surround them wif the fireworks.
a nice sight.. but the words could not be seen clearly in the pics..
okie.. thats basically my whole day adventure at Sentosa.
Had fun wif my frens!~ luv u guys!~
thanks to jie jie & siling for the sandwiches, radio, ice, candles, placemat, shampoo (though we din get to use it)
thanks to serene for the fruits, frisby, toys (for building sand castles), light sticks, newspapers, and watever things tat i left out..
and it better not rain again when i visit Sentosa the next time!! u cant enjoy to the fullest when its raining..
p.s.
