Singapore Trip - Day 2

We started the day at about 10am. After getting ready, we head down to Harbourfront Centre MRT in order to get to Sentosa Island. After asking around for where the cable car station is located, we continued on to purchase the necessary admission tickets and proceed with our destination. There are some nice views of the sea and harbour during the ride. Some development works were being done in Sentosa Island as well, probably to cater for new resorts and attractions.

Our first stop at Sentosa was the Butterfly Farm. Though it is big, it was abit disappointing as there were very little butterflies. The Butterfly Farm in Penang was definately better, and cheaper as well :P There is a live scorpion where we can hold with our hands for photo shooting. Alot of people was scared to touch it.

I braved myself by letting it stayed at the back of my palm for photo shooting :)

It started to rain then in Sentosa when we proceeded to Underwater World. There were lots of marine life and the dugong was very memorable. We were conned into purchasing some photos for SG$15 a piece. Next we proceeded to pink dolphine show (yes, the dolphines are really pink in color naturally, not dyed). The show was too short, only lasted for 30 minutes, perhaps due to the rain. We did not carry any umbrella with us, and uses plastic bags to temporarily shield our head instead. After a few stops at other attractions in Sentosa, we went back to the main island and stopped by at Vivo city for some window-shopping. Again, my hubby was sad as cannot found any toys that he wanted and complaining KL shopping was better.

We continued on to Suntec City at night for more toys hunting. We managed to find 2 shops there selling toys and collectibles, and my hubby was very excited to see some of the rare toys and bought two of them back. He was smiling all the way back to the hotel, and played all night long with his new treasures. For me, i was relieved as he no longer bugged me to bring him places to buy toys.
