2008 Singapore Trip Day 2

Today, wake up at 6am and go for continental breakfast in the hotel.

After that we depart to Mount Faber. Spend around 1 hour there and ride on cable car to Sentosa Island.

We go for the Malaysian Half Price package (6 in 1) which you only need to pay RM66 or 50% of SGD66. As the conversion rate is currently at 2.4, we use RM to pay for the package. The package includes CineBlast, Merlion, Images of Singapore, Sky Tower, Cooler Drinks, Sentosa Special Souvenir.

First, we go for Sky Tower as it is just beside the ticket counter. Sky Tower is Singapore's tallest observatory tower offers panoramic views at 131 metres above sea level across Singapore, Sentosa, Southern Islands, right up to neighboring Malaysia and the Indonesian islands. The Sky Tower has a capacity of 72 in its enclosed, air-conditioned cabin.

Next we go to Images of Singapore experiencing the history, legend, fact and folklore that are creatively interwoven for guests to enjoy. We also receive our Sentosa Special Souvenir there (which was included in the package).

Then we stop for lunch before proceed to the Merlion, the biggest replica of Singapore's most enduring symbol. Standing at 37 metres high, this half-lion, half-fish creature brings you to the depth of the sea as you walk side-by-side with legendary sea dragons and mythical mermaids.

After that we go for CineBlast, Singapore's only state-of-the-art cinema simulation ride. It was a long queue before we got our turn. You can feel the exhilaration of flying to the top of the highest mountain, the stomach-churning thrill of rushing into the deepest valleys, and the gripping excitement of being tossed about by whitewater rapids.

We also go for Luge and Skyride. Part go-cart, part-toboggan, pure excitement – the luge is a fun-filled gravity ride that's safe for all ages. With a unique steering and braking system that allows you to make the ride as leisurely or as exciting as you want.
