Sentosa Trip
Sentosa
Dad and I set off at 8am to have breakfast at Ya Kun (lot One). Did i mention that
number 7
is both of our
lucky number
? talk about daughter and father. The toast and drinks are delicious!
Dad and I then proceeded to take bus 188 all the way to habourfront. The tram tickets are bought at the top storey!
Dad queued for the tickets but he didn't hear me tell him there is a machine for it.
The map of Sentosa. Pretty big eh?
The brochures of Sentosa.
Dad and I proceeded to the Sentosa Station.
The tram arrived! Oh! it's green! I think that the trams are really beautiful. The designers are brilliant! There are even
lights at the bottom of the tram at night
. That time when i had dinner with lilin and cheryl at the coffee shop near the interchange, i told them there's lights under the tram but they didn't believe me. They thought i was hallucinating. But in the end, seeing is believing.
These are the few tram stops. The first green one is
future development
. So, the tram would not stop there. The purple one is Imbiah Station where 4D matrix, herb and spice garden etc are there. beach station consist of Siloso Beach, Underwater world etc.
I took a few pictures in the tram. This is the sight when the tram left the station.
The
merlion
! I really miss the good old days. there were not trams. Only cable and ferries. I miss the ferries! In fact, i still remember how the ferry looks like!
Upon entering sentosa. Sentosa flags! I think the flag's design is nice too.
Yup, entering Sentosa. Green green grass home.
see! the future development part. I wonder what are they going to build here. Something interesting i hope.
we alighted at
Imbiah station
!
Took a pic of the tram!
Couldn't resist taking a picture of myself. haha! dad dared me saying that i couldn't take an
accurate picture
of myself like that.
I can
!
Dad with the merlion.
took a picture of my shadow. the morning sun is just... hazardous for the body.
Dad and I at the escalator. Don't we look alike? Our
face shapes and eyes
? haha! Even our characters are alike!
Duh
! Daughter and father?
Images of Singapore
. We didn't go in though cos both of us think that it is not worth it to pay
10 dollars
each just to go in to know the history of Singapore when we already have knowledge about it!
The
carlsberg sky tower
. My friend say it's
not nice
. It's just going up there to look a the scenery. Not worth the money but not bad if it's for free! haha!
Dad thinks this tree trunk is cute. the fact is that the eyes looked like its
bruised
and had to apply ointment. And truth be told, the nose looks
ugly
. haha! But other than that, i'd say it's
creative
!
And then we proceeded towards here
dad is so generous. He bought tickets for both this and
cineblast
. Both
4D
of course.
Look! go try it out! I watched the one on pirates and it's really hilarious! With all the effects brought up to, i'd say it's better than the one i watched at
Korea
! I'm not going to tell you what are the
special effects
are cos that's ruin your first trip over there but i'd say it's nice! it scared me the first time though. I practically jumped out of the seat.
dad buying the tickets at the ticketing Counter.
Just in case you wanna know the price, here it is! It is $16. If i weren't with dad, i couldn't afford it. Too expensive for my budget! I need to work! Recommendations, anyone?
We set off to
CineBlast
first. It's the one where we took the "water log rides". the one where the chair would move like u are taking roller coaster. But it's not very nice cos the
duration is too short
for the tickets to be worth $16.
Then we went to 4D matrix. daddy wearing the blue specs.
Somehow, the specs looks bigger on my face
These are the chairs. as you can see, the chairs are arranged in rows. it's comfortable!
Next, we went
siloso beach
where the beach balls and sands are.
I took a map of the siloso beach. haha!
Tadah! I love these alphabets. Don't you? They are designed in such a beautiful manner!
Following, we went to the
bicycle shop
! to rent bicycles of course!
My beautiful bike! With a pink bell!
Here is my dad trying to squeeze my bag into his bag. haha! my dad is such a gentleman!
Here's my dad riding the bicycle. And yes, i am taking the picture while i'm riding. yes, i'm
holding onto the camera
and
riding
the bicycle with one hand.
And i know what u are going to say: "Lili can do that meh?!"
Of cos i can! I've been riding the bicycle since i was kindergarden! And trust me, it's not easy teaching me bicycle. I was not the one with bruise and cuts but it was dad. and the scar is still there.
There was once my bro, dad and i went cycling together. i was still learning. So, dad asked me to get off the bicycle to let my bro ride it down the slope.
As a kid, i was awfully jealous so i just ignore my dad's request and ride the bicycle down the slope. The slope is very
steep
and at the end, there's a
wall
. So u've to turn left/right fast enough.
I was a
beginner
, so half way down the slope, i was already afraid. My dad ran down the slope and caught up with me. He grabbed the
back of my bicycle
and caused us both to fall down. That's how dad got the
deep cut on his knee
.
I was extremely guilty and i cried though i was left unhurt. My bro asked me, "are you hurt?" and i said, "yes". When my bro asked me, "where?".. i replied...
"my shorts torn!"
yes! i know! it's dumb!
People playing volleyball!
dad riding the bicycle.
Dad: You ride properly, later u bump into a lampost.
LiLi: won't lah. Not so suay.
And then... i saw this!
I took the ride before in Korea and it's nice! That is, it is worth is in Korea cos u get to see the scenery. but erm... in Sentosa, i'm not sure about that. But people take the ride because of...
my friends recommended this ride saying that it's
quite exciting
. But then, my brother said that the
ride is too short and it's too expensive
. Unless you are rich, i would nt recommend it.
I asked dad to take a picture of me on my bicycle. and it came out like this...
If i didn't tell u that i went riding on a bicycle, you would've thought i'm acting stupid,
pretending to ride on a horse.
and then at last! A nice one!
next, we were thirsty. So we headed back to near the entrance of siloso beach. I seriously forgot the place's name but it's at the entrance. Anyway, the seats and tables are so comfortable and it's so relaxing!
Both of bought our favourite drinks. and i've never seen such a big can of coconut drink before! And i love this coconut drink cos it taste like u drink it out of a real coconut. really! try it!
In fact, i was so amazed by the size of the can that i decided to...
Help it advertise. BWAHAHHAA!
Taste like you drink it out from the coconut itself. And now, it comes in bigger size all in
$1.70
(i think).
dad with his drink! and he looks happy drinking it. 100 plus! Actually, i detest 100 plus. I don't like the taste. haha!
I still prefer my...
Coconut juice!
haha! And yes, i'm a pure chinese! grrr.. why everyone kept saying that i've grown darker.
I love this art piece. the colour combination is really beautiful. Pls do ignore my pose, i don't know why i did that stupid pose. and my hair was in a mess cos of the wind.
My next target in Sentosa is:
They say that it has improved alot! so i wanna watch! I know i'm behaving like i'm younger than my age. But you are only young once. i dun mind being childish once in a while.
Next, dad brought me to ...
CHINATOWN!
He wanted to bring me to eat delicious
slice fish bee hoon
! My favourite food. It's at
maxwell.
Oh my god. just at the look of it makes me wanna eat it now. the soup has been added with milk and there's just something in the soup that makes it taste good. I'm bad in describing food, so go try it!
next, we visited the
new temple
! It's just
opposite maxwell
I was wearing shorts so a guy approached me and asked me to tie a piece of cloth around my waist.
I'd say one thing for the temple..
It's magnificent!
It's like all of the inside of the temple is made of Gold!
The buddha is sculptured beautifully.
The walls of the main hall are decorated with:
This is only one of them. There's i think
hundreds
of them? All in which of different postures.
And this is another sculpture of the buddha.
there's this lighted up "lanterns" which you use to pray to the buddha cos no joss sticks are allowed.
when we were about to go upstairs, we saw..
\
I don't know wht are the monks doing but it looks like the man is making an offering to the buddha.
so it was a tiring day cos we went two places but it was fun! I enjoy going out with my dad.
The End
