celebrating Children's day at Sentosa

I must really thank Shuping for inviting us to spend Children’s in Sentosa recent Friday and Caleb for providing logging. =) Thanks to these Da Ge Da Jie that we/I had a wonderful and economical playtime. Hehe.. =)

I was the first to reach among the rest and I thought I was very proud of it. Until I realize that the rest took a FREE bus into Sentosa and need not have to pay the entrance fee even. =( that’s not all. I soon realize that I dun packet chicken rice for dinner (which was the case for the rest). Thankfully, Shuping kindly gave me some rice. But I still end up eating burger king still. .. that’s not the point..

Then we visited the famous Sentosa musical fountain. Hmm.. before then, I have visited the musical fountain once back in JC 1 I think… so I thought I will be seeing the same thing and I was prepared to be bored. However, it turns out that it’s a new show.

There was a gradual built up in the performance of the fountain. it started off with gentle shots of water into the air responding to “do re me fa so la ..” after which, a piece of fast-paced music. The warm lights shone upon the waters, the rhythmic shots of the water impressed me a bit.

Then, there’s a switch in the mood. Cool, romantic blue lights came on and the waters swayed together with a piece of romantic classical music. ……… soothing..

Then, orchestra music took over and the fountain water sprung up into the air. Fountains of water shooting into the skies, like the pipe of a church organ (not our church). All of a sudden.. it stopped, as part of the plot. KIKI, the sentosa monkey appeared and con’t by a stretch of boring laser shows.. blah blah. Blah..

and the rest.. cannot remember much.. heh.. but it’s quite interesting. At the story line for the laser show is better now. I remember it was about the spirits of temesak guarding the island and merlion spirit saving the island from some disaster crap.. it’s jus that vain effort to mystify the merlion and coining their own myths and legends.. ridiculous.

After the musical fountain, we took the monorail around sentosa, and enjoyed ourselves talking on the monorail.. stopover at the 7-eleven to buy drinks and mash potatoes. Then we took the last monorail back to the visitor’s centre to take a “feeder” back to chalet.

AND THEN, there’s a series of blackouts. Yes, not one but a series of it. And while the series of blackouts was happening, Xiuyi (aka Hao Yi) was showering in the toilet. LOL..

Some guys(des, lk, ty) went back and the rest (caleb, amos, dan, me) stayed over at the kampong tuas room a. erm.. I have a good nite sleep. And I guess Caleb did too.. but I cannot say the same thing for Amos, who was sleeping beside dan. Haha…. I din’t say anything.. I just say that amos din’t sleep well, due to the noisy air-con, and his willingness/kindness to sleep on the floor, and any other factor. =)

The next day, we checked out at 1200nn and traveled all the way to Changi Airport to eat Sakae Sushi, IN THE VIP ROOM. Shoik!! It’s really nice to dine with a square/round table. It allows every one at the table to talk to each other. And to have the whole room to ourselves, we can talk and joke all we want. Believe it or not, we ended out lunch in the room at 1540hrs and left the airport only at 1600hrs. =) wonderful day spent.

Well… it’s justifiable to dote ourselves once in a while. Hehe.=)
