A good day at Sentosa, Singapore!!

Today, I woke up very early to get myself ready for the day. I am going to Sentosa with my two close friends L and M, we had known one another for almost 11 years. As my two friends also stayed in the same neighbourhood as me, we met up with one another and went to Sentosa by the north-east line MRT. We reached Harbour Front at around 1030hrs, and had our breakfast at a food centre near the Harbour front bus interchange. After we had finished our breakfast, we proceeded to board the bus that will bring us into Sentosa.

Sentosa is an island that lies just half a kilometre (a quarter of a mile) away from the southern coast of the main island of Singapore. It is considered as Singapore's premier island resort getaway with multi-faceted appeal, teeming with events all year round.

We reached the island at around 1055hrs, and we went on to buy the admission tickets and the bus ticket which cost us S$3/- . We took a map and began our exploration on the island, There are 4 colours line buses that help us to get around the island; Blue, Yellow, Green and Red. We first boarded the blue line and see when will it bring us to.

At first, we wanted to go to the volcanoland, but it was not opened yet, so went on walking to see which attraction we can go..

The first attractions which we went, was the artists village. It was a small house that had many workshop rooms for the artist to draw and design their art pieces.. We were unable to understand the artist's point of view but still we enjoy their art work.

Then we went on to the Beach, there are altogether 4 beaches: Siloso, Palawan, Dolphin lagoon and Tanjong beach, strolling down the beach in "black T-shirt" So warm!! There was a long bridge leading to another small island, it was known as the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia, we lingered around there for a while, then went on strolling on the beach... It was a Saturday, and it is also considered as Family Day in Singapore, there was alot of families playing games organized by different organizations...... Later we came across a strange looking 'thing" There were no young men sitting on and turning round and round , some sort of like a " merry-go-round" . There were only enough room for 4 persons, as there were only three of us, it seems unbalance turning.... So each of us got down by turns, leaving only two persons sitting and then pushed hard...... It was fun going round, but later I felt giddy and call it quits.....

After the merry-go-round, we then tried to get out from the beach , but we had no idea, which bus to take, so we went on a beach tram and it sent us to the bus stop!!! We then took the bus bus and went to the Cable car Arrival plaza. when we got there, we wanted to try out the Sentosa luge : it consisted of Chairlift that is another form of cable car, except it is much lower and is opened to the surroundings.... and it also consist of a luge ride, which we had to put on head helmets and it seemed as a board with wheels and it was easy to drive!!! So much Fun we had there......

Later we procceded to the tickets counter to purchase a sentosa package!!

After we had purchased our packages, we went to have our lunch at the Subway restaurant, and it was sumptous feast...

we first start with the Carlsberg sky tower tour, Asia's tallest observation tower at 135cm and it moves 360 degrees, a fine experiences!!

On the way to the merlion tower, the surroundings consisted of many pools and fountain, I managed to trick M and she was " wetten" by me!! haha!!!(splashing water at her!!)

Then we moved on to the merlion tower, seeing unknown sea creatures, watching a cartoon video of history of Singapore, later we managed to go to the top and the mouth of the merlion to view the expansive surroundings of Sentosa. Upon admission, we were given two tokens and as we exit the merlion, we inserted the coin into a four- headed lions heads and received a small gift... a keychain!!
Before we left the merlion, there was Delifrance, and we made use of our package to collect our light snacks...... then we went on to the next attractions, Volcanoland!!!
As the snacks was getting messy, L & M finished the food at the Volcanoland, and they finished my portion as I was still very full.

The vocanoland consist of models of different types of dinosaurs and there were education on the bones of the dinosaurs, there were also multiple sensory exploration inside the vocanoland!!

We then proceeded to the cinemania, before we queue fot the ride, each of us bought a T-shirt, "Cinemania". Then it was time to start the ride, we experienced armchair ride through tunnels and steep slope at fast speed!! This was more for children, for us, it seems alright!!

After this, we then went to tour the Orchid gardens and it was free of charge, We relax in this colourful garden, with a pool full of koi fishes...

Our last attractions we visited, was the Magical Show at the musical fountain, There were lights, sound and lasers and it turned out to be wonderful and beautiful ,there was also the Sentosa monkey Kiki!!! The three of us best enjoyed this show, it was really magical!! However, it started raining heavily through the half of the show, and luckily, we brought along our umbrellas and stayed on to finish the show!!!!

After the magical show, we decided it was late, and we had to return home, so we embarked our last journey in Sentosa, took the green line bus and proceeded to the cable car station.... There were 4 stations.... Sentosa-->Harbour front building-->Mount faber-->Harbourfront buiding --->Sentosa, however we sat to mount faber and harbour front building , and then we walked to the MRT station.....

It was fun but tiring, and luckily we had Sunday to rest!!!

P.S. We spent almost S$70/-plus just alone in Sentosa, and we had not finished all the attractions which the island have offered!!!

Majong day!!!

Today is a beautiful day.......but the weather today was not ideal for outing, so I stayed at home!!!! I began the day by first clearing my messy study table.... cause my exam was finally over and it is time to have fun!!!Everyone in the house kept complaining of feeling stuffy and warm..... So we switched on the air-condition in my dad's room. ( The only room with air-con in the entire house!)
After I had tidy up my room, I was kind of feeling bored.... So I read some story books. newspapers, watched Television programmes....but after a while, I was tired and there was no more mood to continue what I was doing.....
Later, something came into my mind..... MAJONG!!! I had not play that for urges.... the last time I touched the game was during the Lunar Chinese New Year.... And Today, my two aunts were at home for the holidays, my brother was at home too....So I suggested that and they all agreed to play...
Hours later, I began to regret playing MAJONG!! Cause I was lossing money, both my aunts were also losing money!!! ( All three of us were losing to a person) ------> My brother!!!
We decided that we had to do something to change his luck, so we called our cousin K over!!! My cousin K is one person very good at playing majong!!!
We thought that our luck was going to change, but unfortunately......our luck still remained as bad as ever!!!! We still lost, my cousin K lost too!!! -----> to him( MY BROTHER)My brother won around $70/- plus!!!
But I am the luckiest to lose only $ 10/- They lost around $ 20/- plus!!!
P.S. The moral of the story tells you > Never play majong with a young man who is stll in army!!!!!
Ok.... that is all for the today....and tommorow I will be out having fun with my friends!!!!
