Sentosa

October 26, 2006

After my 6 months stay here in Singapore this is my first time to Sentosa of course with my mother and in-laws. We had a great fun an excitement. The ambiance is good though you have to pay for every attraction it still worth going for. Below are some snapshots I on how it look and feels like to be there.

Getting there - via cable car fastest way to the island.

Just arrived!!!

Behind them is the Carlsberg - Sky tower ride

Butter fly and Insect Kingdom

Nature walk to the dragon trail

Siloso Beach - Landscape is good. Water not good.

Under water world - under the sea adventure inside a giant aquarium

Dolphin lagoon - Dolphin show.

Mama - trying to concentrate before watching the dolphin show

Palawan Beach

On the middle of the road over looking papa Merlion.

Too bad we didn't get the chance to try all the attractions due to lack of time, despite of the heavy rain and we are so tired of walking and transferring to the sentosa bus one way or the other island. Anyway there is always next time..

Night shots

October 24, 2006

After our duck tour i brought them to the world's largerst fountain of wealth. From there you can make a properous wish.

Many believe that this fountain can make your wish come true by circling around on the fountain's core 3-times, dipping right hand on water while making a silent wish.

It's obvious that we believe it too for have nothing to loose on trying..

After our diner of course the girls do change their outfit. As i took them to Esplande for a heart warming photo shoot. Below are some inspiring photos we had created using my poor "jologs" tripod.

Behind us is the Esplanade theater

Me and my mother overlooking Mama Merlion

Behind my wife is the city landscape

Baywatch beauties

Whoah!!! I feel so tired as we got home 12:00 am but its all worth it..

Duck Tour

October 24, 2006

My mother and in-laws just arrived yesterday. Today we started to show them around Singapore. First day route is we go ride for a duck tour.

The day started with a little bit of shopping at City Hall and afterwards the duck tour (its an amphbian boat can travel by land and sea). The tour was great you learned a little bit of Singapore history and landscape of the city.

Behind them is the duck ampebian boat- DARLENE!!

Though it's a little bit cloudy because of the haze coming from Indonesia still we can see a nice view of the city. Here are some shots i took using my camera.

Esplanade theather patterned on Singporean's favorite smelly fruit DURIAN..

Space craft building is the Supreme Court!!!

Mandarin Hotel somehow shaped like an Elephants Head!!!

This building was patterned on a Chinese Bagua which
ancients believe can cast out evil spirits.

One of the country's expensive condominiums.

The tour ended with a TRIVIA question.

Question: "Why Superman's costume is always tight fitting?"
Answer: Because he is too tall for a size "SMALL" costume..hehe

Hope you had a great tour on my blog as much I did. Kunsamida!!!

iShop

October 13, 2006

Today is friday the 13th after office I rushed in to Orchard just to go my favorite store iShop before i fetch my wife to her office that we do normally on weekends. The iShop here in Singapore is nice they have a cafe, accessories, training center and of course a friendly customer service. Hopefully one day i can go to San Francisco to visit there underground Apple store like i saw in the internet.

Tourist

October 16, 2006

My wife and I plan to go to Philippines for a holiday to the Philippines since it is Hariraya Festival here this coming October 24, 2006. We gave up that oppurtunity to give way to our mothers to come and visit us here. And since I promised to my wife's sister to make up with my absence on her Debut party last July again she is also on my visitors list.

After the struggles on getting and renewing the passports finally i booked the plane ticket.



They will go by the the Jetstar Airlines not the usual budget airlines to let them experience the luxury of travel since it is their first time here.

Now our schedules are so tight to give them a tour. Good thing my boss allowed me for a 3 days straight leave. I think this is the longest time i will be having a leave since i started working.

Anyway i will just keep you guys posted for more happenings. "For all you care"..hehe
