The first open area that we walked to, was the Lake Of Dream,
where they had beautiful decorative artworks like hanging candies, colorful
balls, dragons, and a nude statue named The Thinker, by Auguste Rodin.
Sentosa Island is divided into four sections, that are
Imbiah Lookout, Siloso Point, Beaches and Resort World Sentosa. Since hubby and
I have visited two of the sections before (Siloso Point and Resort World
Sentosa), we decided to explore Imbiah Lookout and Beaches area.
At Imbiah Lookout, we chose to enter the Merlion, since we passed
this attraction during our previous visit. Meanwhile, the rest waited at the
ground area. Our main concern on entering this famous 37-metre tall Merlion,
was to be in its mouth, and on top of its head.
We paid SGD8 and entered the hallway, where we were
transported into the depth of blue oceans, before meeting the legendary sea
dragons and mythical mermaids. At the end of the walkway, there was one door
before us, with Merlion Show timing stated on top of it.
We then entered the room and sat right before one big
screen, where the history of Singapore icon, The Merlion, half-lion and
half-fish, is told. The show was cartoonlike and animated, pretty exciting and
simple for kids to understand.
The show ended in not more than half hour, and we proceeded
to the head gallery first. Owh, don’t worry, there’s an elevator! U just need
to walk-up only for few stairs. On top of the Merlion head, hubby had his
ultimate fun capturing 360 degree of Sentosa Island. Meanwhile, I settled with
video-making.
It was hot and sunny day, with thick clouds. Once there were
other visitors on the Merlion head, we went down to the Merlion mouth. Lagi
ramai orang! Berebut-rebut nak pegang gigi Merlion tuh! Hahaha! The organizer
has one photographer, stood right before the mouth, capturing each and every
visitor who went posed at it. We did too, but we didn’t buy it lah. Apa guna
ada camera bang? Hehehe!
Earlier, we were given two gold coins (in the form of
tokens) to be put into 3 Merlion mouths. Each Merlion will give you different
luck and gift. I forgot which mouth that I put in but we received a paper fan
(each) from the counter, on our way out. Hahaha!
Later, we came down and met the rest, who were lepaking next
to the toilet. Kilfie did his business and Kak Ngah had to bring him for a
quick shower, since it was too hot. We continued the exploration and passed by
the Images of Singapore. Hubby wanted to enter the gallery coz he loves taking
photo of now and then of particular places, but we had to pass the offer, for
we wanted to experience the better.
Where to?
The Adventure Park! Here, we opted
for Adventure Combo (save us a lot) where we need to choose two attractions (Desperados
and Extreme Log Ride) with the price of SGD28.90 each. It was only for
all of us except for Pak Ein and his wife, for he said he might have heart attack in the log ride. Walhal takde pun heart attack. Hahaha!
First, Desperados in 3D! A virtual shout-out-ride-on-motion-based
saddles! This was where Pak Ein and his wife really had a blast! Besides hubby
and I, Pak Ein’s wife also one of the sharp shooters! Hahahaha! It was an easy
ride, with one hand holding a laser gun, while the other hand MUST hold the
saddle. Else, you won’t have a better aim on the bandits and barrels, on this
bumpy ride.
My whole family actually needed to give a way to other
visitors, since we wanted the whole frontline to be occupied by us. Plus, kids
and old folks are allowed! Kak Ngah actually put Kilfie right in front of her,
and all we heard was our non-stop laugh of who was better, who was funnier, THE WHOLE TIME.
We then continued the adventure by getting into the hall of Sentosa Cineblast (Extreme Log Ride), where we were seated in one spaceship (no, it's not a log), with 4D spectacles. The ride was actually similar to whitewater rafting over the mountains with thrill of rushing into deepest valley that full of chain saw and alligators. So those who cannot tahan, will definitely feel the motion sickness. Guess who? IT WAS ABANG NGAH, who looked down THE WHOLE TIME. Hahaha! Rugi bayar. Kilfie was left outside with Pak Ein and his wife, while my niece and nephew, Kak Ngah and I, did enjoy the ride, shouting and cursing the big screen.
