Another trip down to Singapore

Was down in Singapore for yet another business trip recently .... and had a chance to do some sight-seeing during the weekend ! Thank goodness ....
Well, went over to Sentosa Island for the weekend and had a little "sight seeing" ....
The journey started off with me takng the cable car from Harbour Front over to Sentosa Island
Not really worth the $ - its such a short trip and costs me about S$10.90 - less than 15 minutes ! Not much view too as most surroundings were under construction ... maybe bad timing ?
Upon arrival, its quite misleading ... no proper signs upon the cable car arrival hall ... but we did managed and head straight to the Dolphin Lagoon (to watch the "pink" dolphin in action) and also proceeded to the Singapore famous Underwater world ... both entrance cost me S$19.90 ... a little bit expensive I would think to pay for the things that we are watching .... but anyway, still managed to snap some photos to share here !
The pink dolphin in action with her trainersThe famous underwater world tunnel !
Interesting deep sea fishes found in Underwater world
Its was already afternoon by the time we came out of the underwater world and since its still quite early, went for a stroll near the "New" MERLION .... BIG !

And of course the "Famous" beaches around Sentosa Island - namely Siloso Beach, Pahlawan Beach and also Tanjong Beach. Siloso was filled with tourists especially "Mat Salleh", Pahlawan and Tanjong were more locals ... so it depends on what is the flavour for the day when you visit here .......
Siloso Beach with its foreigner crowd ...
Cafe Del Moar ... the very "Hip" bar on beach ... the place to be when you are there to be seen !
Pahlawan Beach
Tanjong Beach
Some other attractions around the island :-

Songs of the Sea - the place where lights meets music .... performance at night ! remember to book early especially during the weekends cos its always full ....
