Singapore Trip (Day 2)

Woke up today at 5.30a.m, all 3 alarms that were set rang at the same time, not to mention the hotel reception giving us a wake up call, so that made 4.... Steph, Fiona, Yi Wern and me were the first girls room to get down to the lobby......
First we went to a hawker stall to eat breakfast, we had to pay for it ourselves......its not provided. Hade chicken rice.
Went to visit the NEWater factory. Saw to short films about "The Waters Of Singapore". Then we went to the NEWater arcade to play some games......not really fun, I just simply press the buttons only, lol. Took a few pictures. Then we left....

Then we went to Sentosa Island, we were going to be there for the rest of the day. Bus A was so lucky.....they got to sit on the double-decker bus, and it was open air somemore, so lucky. Bus B didn't get the double-decker, but atleast we got a open-air bus, who would want to be in a air-conditioned bus at Sentosa???

First we went to Underwater World, we got to touch the fish at the touch pool, nobody touched the pufferfish, and alot touched the blue fish...I like the shark, Timothy said that a fish in the touch-pool slapped him on the hand with its fin......haha.....After that we went to eat lunch, thank goodness we didnt have to eat everything that was served because we had a buffet lunch by the seaside...................

Second we went to the Merlion tower, saw a short cartoon about how Sinagpore was discovered by a prince.... great view of Sentosa leh, on the Merlions head. They even had music up there.....

Third we went to sit on the Carlsberg Sky Tower (highest in Asia). There we got a GREATER view of Sentosa.....it was definitely higher than the Merlion tower....

Third we went to see a 4D show, now that, was cool.... 4D leh....besides a show where you see things getting closer to you, the chair would be moving, and there would be water spraying at you, and wind somewhere from your chair.....poor Jeremy was trying to sleep but since everything his seat was moving up and down, it was impossible to sleep...

We missed the dolphin show because it was raining, and while the teachers were discussing something, we were lined up and standing beside a whole bunch of toursists, and a nice couple from Brazil were talking to me and my buddies staning behind and infront of me, and they were lucky....they went on a holiday to somewhere in China I think, on a cruise ship for a whole month..........lucky.

We took a skylift down to the beach, the teachers and our 2 tourguides took a luge down to the beach, so unfair......at the beach we got to play with the sand or we could join the telematch. We even got to bury one of our friends in the sand,
he looked funny......and he was the only one brave enough to voulenteir.....When it was time to eat, all our shoes were filled with alot of sand......so uncomfortable. Dinner was also a buffet, and they had CURRY!!! YAY!!

On the way back to YWCA, everyone on the bus fell asleep. So tired. All the sand in our shoes was poured out onto the floor.
