It is a long weekend with 2 public holidays – labour day and Hari Raya Puasa. We have planned quite a few activities and here are some highlights.
Preparation
I have given two kids a few options and let them to figure out where to go:
- Zoo
- Aquarium
- Singapore Flyer
- Duck Tour
- Cable Car
I have shown them a few options and showed them pictures too. In the end nobody is interested in zoo, nor duck tour. Nicole wanted to go Aquarium and Lucas insisted in Singapore Flyer. As usual a conflict between kids was resolved by paper scissor stone. And Nicole won.
Cable car and S.E.A. Aquarium
Since we are going to Sentosa I decided we go by cable car this time. We bought tickets from Lazada and it’s a roundtrip skypass and much cheaper comparing to mount faber official site. And I bought aquarium tickets from there too. Almost same price as official website but I can use Lazada vouchers.
On 30th Apr Saturday we set off around lunch time and arrived Harbourfront station by MRT. Straightaway walk to 15th floor on Harbourfront Tower 2 and boarded cable car.
Cable car brought us to Sentosa Island. We alight at somewhere the old Merlion was at. Walked down to Sentosa Express nearby and took the monorail back one stop to Resort World Sentosa station, where S.E.A Aquarium is.
It was quite crowded as it’s the first day of long weekend. We still managed to see almost all parts in it. Kids are excited to see giant stingrays and sharks, beautify jellies, also ugly sea eels.
Also there is small area about rain forest and it has some colourful (poisonous!) frogs.
And after a late lunch (or early dinner) we headed back to main island by cable car again. In fact there is a nice top view for Aquarium from cable car, and we can see sharks and dolphins swimming from high.
We reached home around 6pm and were caught by heavy rain just before reaching. After that we were all exhausted and everyone just sleep straightaway. Wife and I had supper around midnight. Kids were only awakened at around 4am and had some light meal too before heading to bed again.
Exhausting day (but exciting)!
