Around Sentosa

Recently, I spent a day in Sentosa with 2 colleagues, Jenny & Lily, who were here from China. We bought an Imbiah Lookout pass and had to conquer 4 attractions in 1 morning and a half, as they had to return to their hotel by 3pm to checkout.

We experienced 4D Magix which is a state of the art movie, with visual effects, surround sound, individually-controlled motion seats and special "live" environmental effects such as water sprays. It was really fun! We also went to the Carlsberg Sky Tower and Merlion, where we had a bird's eye view of Sentosa, as well as the Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom.

At the Butterfly park, I had the chance to see how a new butterfly emerges from her cocoon - it was really amazing! Wish the kids saw it. Sentosa has changed a lot since the last time we were there.

Sophie at the Playground

Sophie's been very energetic and active recently. Today, she made a milestone by being able to climb up our home's sofa seat all by herself. She's also been practising her climbing skills.

You can see that she was about to climb out of this playground ride today, oblivious to how high she was away from the ground!

The boys were having their fair share of fun at the slides, and really needed them to expend their energy for today so that we could have a peaceful shopping trip later in the day.
Well, the shopping trip was rather uneventful, but Sophie used up a bit too much of her energy, and by noon, she was really cranky and needed to sleep. It was a relief when we all got home, and had a nice afternoon siesta!
