singapore visit - part 1
my parents had a great time here in SG.. =) they told me so.. hahaha! =p nah.. we can tell.. =)they got here a little pass 4pm last april 19.. my pangga and i took 1 exit each.. just to make sure we dont miss them.. and sure enough, we were able to spot them as they got into the baggage area.. there was even a slight wow mali moment where my dad was waiting on the wrong baggage carousel.. hehehe.. well, being first time travellers, it wasnt so bad..
we got to our place.. rested a bit and took the bus to suntec city.. we rode the double decker bus.. my dad had fun checking out the manggoes on the trees by the road.. why nobody's picking them even if there were a lot of ripe ones already (sabi namin bawal kasi.. mahal ang fine).. from the seat on the bus.. you can almost reach the manggoes.. well, given that the bus has no glass windows.. =p
we got to suntec.. first stop.. dinner! hahahaha! exciting huh.. =p
we ate at a japanese resto, ichiban.. ordered more than we can eat.. so we had to have the food to go.. japanese food for breakfast, anyone? *lol* =p
we went around the area a bit.. to the koi garden, to the fountain of wealth (just so happened that the fountain was under maintenance for the whole duration of their stay here.. *sigh*), our office - the millenia tower, the esplanade.. and our last stop for the night, the merlion =)
we did quite a lot of walking.. coz that's the easiest way to go around singapore.. more walking on the next three days.. =D
second day.. to sentosa!
the cable car was under maintenance as well.. phew! so we took the bus going to the island.. =p
first attraction to check out.. underwater world.. my parents really enjoyed this one.. mushy, but i got teary-eyed when i heard my parents say 'ni sa panaginip, di namin naisip na makakaexperience kami ng ganito' and 'o, eto na yung nakikita natin sa tv'.. i wish i could give back more to them.. even if it's a bit at a time.. share the blessings that we've been given.. i just like to see them happy.. *sigh*
moving on with my story.. hehehe.. got a bit emotional there.. ="> what's in the underwater world.. well.. water species of course.. hehehe.. and tons of them..
my parents and little bro loved the touch pool.. this is where you can touch real live fishes.. sting ray, shark (baby shark), star fish, and a lot more..
the other thing they liked the most was the part where you enter a glass tunnel on a walkalator while watching all sorts of water creatures.. what made this experience even cooler is that we were able to catch the feeding time.. two divers got inside this huge glass tank where we were under and started feeding the fishes..
i was kinda scared for them at first.. you would too if there were a number of sharks swimming nearby *chills* ..
i was able to catch the stingray chomping off the head of a fish during feeding time.. it was easy to get it on video as his mouth was on the lower part of his body.. just above me! =D
we had lunch before proceeding to the next stop.. the dolphin lagoon! my fave! as you can remember, ive already gotten close and personnal with han, yang and jumbo.. =D
and would you believe it.. my brother got lucky when he was picked to participate in one of the activities where he had to use the hoola-hoop while the dolphins were doing the same.. and as a prize he got to touch, hug, pet the dophin and get kissed by the dolphin.. kewl huh.. =D and i got it all on camera!
my mom and dad got to touch jumbo too! =D
here's a link to their photos..
