It was quite a tiring and enjoyable day at Sentosa today. I think the children who went were tired and happy too! Thanks to Mrs Chua who had agreed to volunteer herself to accompany the kids to Sentosa.
After everyone arrived in school, we started our journey to Sentosa. We took the MRT train from Hougang Station and travelled down to Harbour Front Station. When we reached there, we realised that it was raining heavily outside the building we were in. We could not decide where to go first. Some wanted to go to Sentosa straight and one suggested taking the cable car. In the end, we went to the food centre at Im Seah Road. Actually, I was the one who did not eat breakfast. :) Anyway, Hifzhan also did not have his breakfast. He ordered two plain pratas while I bought my fried fish bee hoon. I had ginger tea while the rest ordered other drinks. Shirley actually bought two drinks. I think she must be very thirsty! Ha!
After our meal, we took the Sentosa bus from the bus interchange to Sentosa. It was a short journey though. Surprisingly, the rain stopped as we reached the Arrival Centre in Sentosa. We took the Blue Line Bus to the Imbiah Lookout. There are quite a few attractions there. Of course, the most enjoyable attraction was the Sentosa Luge. Initially, the children were not sure how to operate the luge but they became experts just after one round! They even went for a second round of luge.
After that, we went up to the Carlsberg Sky Tower. It was quite an amazing view from the Sky Tower. The "tower" actually rotates slowly as it moves up to the top! We had the full view of Singapore as the "tower" moved to the top.
Next, we went past the Images of Singapore and headed towards the Siloso Beach on the Blue Line Bus. The journey was long as the bus went to a few other places before arriving at the beach. I got a little worried when the children wanted to venture into the water. I strongly cautioned them not to go any further from the shore. They picked seashells from the shore and played with the sand on the beach.
After we had enough fun, we proceeded to the washroom further down the Siloso Beach, towards the Beach Resort which was undergoing construction. It was about two in the afternoon. Some wanted to take a break and have lunch but some wanted to go cycling. In the end, we skipped the lunch part and went cycling. They had fun cycling here and there. Jasmine, Shizhen and Hifzhan started their first two-wheel cycling experience. I found out that Hifzhan had three years of cycling on four-wheels!
Fortunately, we had good weather throughout the day. It was about 3.30pm when we headed back to school. It was another long journey back! All were tired but definitely happy!
I will put up all the photographs as soon as possible.
