Underwater World at Sentosa
Wednesday, November 21, 2007

I've always wanted to pay a visit to the Underwater World at Sentosa and my last visit there was like... wat? 11yrs ago?

And finally, right after my exam, some one was willing to accompany me there.. *shall not post any single of his pics here as he made me ANGRY last night! =(





I'm so damn excited lor! It made me feel like a small kid all over again... My purpose there : to take as many pics as possible! So, be warned!! This is gonna be a photoverload post. heh..




This is a sea creature with a "disturbing look". Its called the Dragon Moray Eel.




Sea worms! So cute right... haha... They are much more cuter than earthworms lor.....



This pic was taken with me sitting infront of a huge fish tank... But, the picture turns out like i'm posing infront of a wall paper.. Its really a big fish tank with all sorts of fish okay!




The pictures below shows the exhibits of how the sharks got 'fertilised' and grow out... and they actually exihibit the real 'living' embroyo in the case! I can see the small swirmming worm-like being inside the 'seed'!















Now then i know that sharks came out like that! Its even better than learning it from the Discovery Channel!







This is my fav! Its called the 'Sea Angels' They are no bigger that my last finger and they only exist cold regions like the Antartica and north pole. They are named "Sea Angels" cos they swim with 'wings' like the angels. So cute! =)



My fav part of the show case! The mirror tunnel! haha! I spent like.. 1hr in the tunnel itself!





This catfish looks like he wanna 'communicate' with me leh... He just lay there forever until i move off!

See~ I'm a 'fish-magnet'. hehehe.... =p

Sharks!



I call this the 'Saw-Nose' shark! Didnt know these species exist... learn something new again! =)


This is called the 'Dugong'. It was rescued by our singapore naval team from the indonesian waters. Its actually a 'half cow, half mermaid' type of water creature. Its diet contains mainly on seaweeds. I was wondering, yrs back, when i was scuba diving at tioman, i encounter a super big 'fish' , bigger than me! Wonder if it was the dugong that i saw...






New knowledge!! (to me, at least) You know the famous cartoon, "Finding Nemo", the Anemone fish? The above pic describe how they breed!



The fav photography spot in the Underwater world. Need to 'queue' to take ur pic there... Cos, many other tourists all wanna take picture infront of the fish tank..






I was posing for my own pics and suddenly this indian couple from blangadesh wanted to take pictures with me. ??? Nevertheless, i agreed and sort of befriended them...
On a side note, i was sad to hear that their country just met with the worse cyclone ever. But they had emailed us, telling that they are safe.



Big Sri lanka crab! You know, this costs a bomb in seafood restaurants at clarke quay there...

After the Underwater World, it was time for dinner... We need to find a place near the 'Songs of the Sea' area so that we can finish our food fast and able to rush for the concert which starts at 7.40pm.
Finally decided on a sea-side-open-walk-in-concept restaurant - "Coasters". The food there was okay but the atmosphere is superb!





So romantic right? Got candle-light dinner somemore.. hehe..
After dinner, we quickly walk towards the arena for the concert and ALAS, there is already a long queue before the entrance... Singaporeans, being singaporeans.... what are we known for?...............our "kiasuism".




Below are some pictures that i took during the concert... If im not wrong, the story line is still the same as before... But, im there for the final part... the fireworks! hee..















For the 1st time in my life, i saw fireworks displaying just right above my head! (usually i watch it on the tv, or when im miles away from the national stadium) So excited, even if its just a mere few seconds!




The two "BEST" pic that i can get with the merlion. I know its very blur but i spent a freakingly 30mins on the same spot to test for the pics until my camera die out.. So, i dun care even if u guys cant see it properly... =p



I really enjoyed my day there.... My next aim, the LUGE, carsberg tower and Cafe del Mar! Anyone??? =)
