Part II - Sentosa

Our first stop at sentosa is at the Visitor Arrival Center (VAC) where we parked the car, after which we walked towards Cinemania (for those who dunno what a cinemania is: Its a dynamic simulation theatre that is equipped with the latest projection systems and computer-synchronised motion seats that will transport you to adrenaline-pumping heights and depths, all from the safety of your seat). The original price of the ticket cost S$12.50 / Adult for 2 shows which over lasted for about 5~8 mins. Well i would consider that too expensive and would definitely not go for the ride if we have to pay. But as we have the ASA card, its free admission for both of us. The first show of the day was about us being in a "toy rollercoaster". Guess thats a warm up in preparation for the next show so that we would feel uncomfortable or giddy. The second is much better, showing us on a mission to rescue dinosaurs. In the short clip, we got dropped into the sea, flew into the air, hit by dinosaurs, erupted on a volcano etc.

Next, we went to the Underwater World. It has been like errr....10 years since my last visit!!. Hmm..but things havent change much. There is the "touch" corner where you can actually reached in to touch and hold the star fish or other fishes.

Me holding a star fish.

Next, we went on the 83-metre-long moving travelator which goes through tunnels showing the different types of fishes and marine lifes. The actual size of the fishes is actually 30% bigger than what we see from the travelator! Its due to the thickness of the glass tank, which reflect the light and made us see what we saw. There is this part where it houses all the sharks. There were lots of them! With scary teeth too...lol

At the end of the travelator (which is also the beginning as its a loop), we saw more marine lifes. There are seahorse, jellyfish and the eggs of baby shark!

Mind you, they are real life eggs and not dead ones. For the one categorizes as 7-8 weeks and after 9 weeks, you can actually see it moving inside the membrane!!

The Underwater World did offer diving package. It cost about $95 for a 90 mins dive. For more information, please see here.Seems not bad, might consider trying it out...

Next we went to the Carlsberg Tower. Its Singapore's tallest observatory tower which offers panoramic views at 131 metres above sea level across Singapore, Sentosa, Southern Islands, right up to neighboring Malaysia and the Indonesian islands. The Carlsberg Sky Tower has a capacity of 72 in its enclosed, air-conditioned cabin. Well, i would say the ride is quite a boring one and lasted for about 10 mins.

After that, we proceed to the last stop of the day, that is to the Cable Car Station. We took a loop ride, starting from sentosa, to harbour front, to Mount Faber, back to harbour front and to sentosa. The whole ride took about 15 mins. Nice scenery, but there are no lights in the cabin so its a bit dark. Cable Car Singapore did offer Sky Dinning ranging from $88 to $158. For more information, please see here. Saw quite a number of couples having the Sky Dinning. But find the atmosphere a bit too dark (cos there is no light in the cabin except for a red table lamp). Also find it a bit weird when the cabin door opens at the towers and i am sure everyone waiting in the queue (including us haha!!!) were looking at the couples.. lol...

Lastly, we went back to VAC to collect the car and headed straight to Sakura @ Science Center for dinner. Its was a day well spent and both of us were super tired at the end of it.

Had uploaded the rest of the photos here.
