Trip to Singapore (Day 2)

After resting only for 6 hours, I had to force myself to wake up because we needed to go to Sentosa Island... with 4 person and 1 bathroom, you can just imagine how long the wait till my turn. Anyway, we headed straight for Bugis Station which we manage to navigate our way to and bought our ezlink card to use the MRT. The card cost SGD12 with SGD7 credit (SGD5 is the value of the card)

ez link card that we use while we're in Sg

We took the East West line from Bugis and alight at OutramPark, continued on the North East line to Harbourfront. The Harbourfront MRT station was just beneath Vivocity. We took the Sentosa Express (SGD3.50) to Sentosa Island.

We reached there at 9am, walked around and took pictures. Bought our tickets to Universal Studio for SGD74 per person (dang expensive! =O) The theme park opens from 10am - 7pm. I notice that most of the  workers in USS are teenagers/college students(?) Maybe they are on holiday too and decided to work park time there. Who doesn't want to see Marilyn Monroe or Kung Fu Panda on a daily basis LOL!


We were so caught up with taking pictures once we entered because the streets are really pretty... Anyway, Isabelle was complaining about her hunger (we didn't get breakfast before arriving and the shops don't open till 10am) and we got a hotdog which cost SGD6 (I nearly died because of the price)

There are 7 "areas" in USS, Hollywood(where the main souvenir shop is), Sci Fi City(where transformer ride is), Madagascar, Far Far Away Kingdom(Shrek & Fiona's castle), Jurassic Park, Ancient Eygpt and Waterworld. 


Manage to ride the Transformer ride (it was AWESOME!!! the BEST ride according to me) Also went for the twin rollercoaster at Sci Fi City(Human & Cylon), felt like I was floating on the clouds after the ride (literally)... Another 4D ride was Revenge of the Mummy and Shrek. Some of the shows we watch included the Monster Rock Show (some sort of musical with people dress in monster outfits LOL), Waterworld (with all the explosive and actions) Only regretted not being able to ride the wet ride in Jurassic Park... 


Overall, I think it is a nice place for family especially with young children because you feel like you're part of the story... but for teens and young adults, the only "exciting" rides would be transformers, the twin roller coaster and the water ride. The whole concept of the theme park is too "child friendly" so not many rides for the "older kids" =P


At 7pm, we took the Sentosa Express back to Vivocity(don't have to pay twice by the way) and had our dinner at The Soup Restaurant... The soup they serve was really NICE, must try! The total bill for 4 of us total around SGD60+ (kind of expensive because we ordered the 2 person set for 4 person but the soup was GOOD VERY GOOD)  


Shop around till 10pm then took the MRT back to our hotel...
