Ha, part 2 of the enjoyable day at Sentosa. sauntering down the red carpet...pose and take a shot!
we could choose between "images of Singapore" or "madam Tussauds"...madam tussauds looked crowded, so we thought we would check it out later.
down memory lane where there were peephole mobile cinemas
gathered at an old-fashioned office where live actors talked about walking down memory lane to see the development of Singapore...so we went through the eras...at each point, there would be an actor, some videos...not totally engaging actually...but it ended with a boat ride and somehow..the kids still felt that the place was sufficiently interesting...ha
some sights when we were taking the boat - towering hhdb flats
oh we had not caught an opera show before...hmmm wondered if you kids would find it intriguing
hindu temple...and we got off the boat and went to Madam Tussauds
ha, the first section was about world leaders..not that you knew any one of them..
oh you knew Mr Lee and Mrs Lee...what a very...poignant scene
wow, would xun be a world leader in time to come?
perhaps tong
and we would be invited to the Istana for meals
check out the nation's future leaders
well perhaps xun could marry some royalty and we could all become part of the royal family
oh in the sporting arena
too bad, not papa's favourite idol
ooo...the props were fun
not too bad an ending pose
yao ming was really awfully TALL
yup in fact all the athletes were towering
our very own soccer hero
ha entertainment celebrities...they were clueless about him though
oooo, no 1 ah Jie forever
Showtime!
they found props and went zany
our local star
having props made it really fun for the kids
they were going for the dottiest looks
welcoming the rock stars
trying to simulate the poses
oh what a dandy Casanova
and what a spirited bunny
reminded me of the looney raving rabids game
well...there was no stopping of the kids...they were trying out all the props
it was not a very big place...just nice for an hour
a kind photographer took a shot for us
ha xun was bothered by the actor's strange face
maybe I should borrow this movie for you?
wow, what a charming pianist
we ended the tour and headed to the cable car station.
the kids wanted to visit every other attraction they saw - the butterfly park, tiger sky tower...
what a lovely time on the island
we took the mount faber line and alighted at mt faber where we had a sumptuous feast with uncle xs at the Sprouts restaurant
a wefie in the cable cat
the restaurant was perched atop the hill, very serene, very relaxing vibes
even found a bell of happiness
looked at how many bells were tied to the poles and railings... reminded me of the temples in Japan
uncle xs was really good with jun, he could take care of him for quite long while mum tucked into the yummy spread
and the very considerate him drove us all the way home. while we were in the car, you three were talking incessantly about dinosaurs...tong kept quipping, "do you have any questions for me?" and he would show off all his knowledge about the dinosaurs...ha it certainly impressed uncle xs as he did not know kids could be so well-read and well-versed in such topics..
well, xun went home and immediately drew a card for uncle xs. It was such a fabulous day..if nothing else, I hoped the three of you would remember that you had a great childhood!
ha..coz the blog would show nothing of the regular visits to our favourite family doctor, Dr Khoo (we just went today and the three of and and papa came back with lots of medicine and a poorer papa coz he paid $350 for the medicine)...of having to do assignment books, TLL worksheets with mama...
looking forward to going Sentosa again!
