Sentosa

The $8.90 cable car ride to Sentosa and the free entrance to 'Images of Singapore' was the main reason we packed our stuff and head on down to Sentosa.

It's Baby G's very first cable car ride and he was really excited.

We managed to get a cable car all to ourselves and off we went! Throughout the ride, Baby G kept looking down onto the roads & started naming all the vehicles that he can see. He didn't seem afraid at all.

Slowly.. slowly.. as the cable car moves......

When we touched down, we headed on down to the 'Images of Singapore'. It's really a far cry from the 'Images of Singapore' that I visited many years back. Things are much more interactive and more real. Baby G was pretty scared of the initial part of the tour (the 1930s-1950s) as it was dark & the sounds were very unfamiliar to him. He kept saying he wanted to go home. However, when we came to the part of the different festivals that are celebrated in Singapore, he became more interested & less afraid.

For most part, he was very subdued, but when it was time to take pics, he gamely posed for us.

After the 'Images of Singapore' tour, we decided to sit down for a cuppa and take a short rest. There was a peacock that was walking around at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outlet. Baby G was quite excited to see the 'strange looking' bird. However, when it started to come nearer, Baby G suddenly jumped from his seat and leapt onto my lap and started crying. Later he told me he was scared of the big bird.

Me & Baby G sharing a joke just before the peacock scare.

After our well deserved rest, we took a bus ride to the Beach station so that we can bring Baby G for the beach tram ride. By the time we waited for the beach tram & got onto the tram, it was pretty close to dinner time so we stopped at Koufu for dinner. When we reached there, Baby G saw the playground & forgot about his hunger and bugged us to let him play.

Baby G loved playing with the water area, splashing around & making me all wet.

All too soon, it was time to go home. We took the cable car back to Mount Faber & at the same time, checked out the most recently raved 'The Jewel Box'. Ambience-wise, very romantic especially with the beautiful night view. Must go but without Baby G. It's been a while since we had a romantic night out. We also checked out the "best toilet for the world".

There's even a huge aquarium in the toilet.. amazing.

By the way.... HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!
