    Singapore: Sentosa Beach, Malaysian Food Street & Crane Dance @ Universal Studios Singapore – Woottt, I went to Sentosa Island in Singapore last week. Brother and I actually have no where to go, shopping was boring, nothing to buy and expensive, so we just went to walk around in Sentosa Island, taste the Malaysian Street Food and also check out the Crane Dance at night.

    Since it’s still early, the Crane Dance is at 9pm, we headed to the beach of Sentosa via the monorail. I have never been to the Sentosa Beach before and after visiting it, I have got to say, it’s not a good beach, Batu Feringghi is so much better because of great & relaxing view. From the Sentosa Beach, looking out you will see huge ships park in the middle of the sea and at far, you will see many refineries. The view is just not pretty for relax despite how clean the beach is and the tiny soft sand. I like the sand though, wonder where do they come from.

    After beach exploration, my stomach started to growl and we headed to the Malaysian Food Street located right beside the entrance of Universal Studios Singapore. Funny right? Malaysian, eating out Malaysian Food in Singapore. Haha. Actually Malaysian Street Food is like a food court which all the Malaysian Food are really brought from Malaysia, Resorts World Sentosa brought in the group of Malaysian street food owners to cook and sell their food at there. Some of the taste are pretty authentic like the Hokkien Prawn Mee.

    I’ve tried Penang Chendol and it’s not really good, but Ampang Yong Toufu was good too. Price starts from S$5. If you are Malaysian and is craving for Penang food, I think this is a good place, just that you have to pay extra S$3 for monorail entering the island. Haha.

    Crane Dance

    At 9pm, we went to see the Crane Dance, which is a new attractions in Universal Studios Singapore. It’s actually two very huge cranes dancing. The cranes actually represent to birds and water sprayed out from both side of the crane are the wings of the big birds. There’s music and visual accompany with the dance and the show is about 10 minutes. Pretty cool, you can see the real cargo cranes at the port of Singapore from there.

    That’s it for my Singapore short trip. =D

    Universal Studios Singapore: Random & Going Home


    #1: The hamburger shop.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Random & Going Home – Well, this gonna be my last post about Universal Studios Singapore and I’ll let the random photos taken in USS speak for itself. To be honest, Universal Studios Singapore is really small, you can finish walking around it within hours and done all the ride too if there’s not many people.

    Overall, it’s a good experience though as I’ve never been to famous theme park like this. I would like to visit those with more roller coaster and bigger one like Six Flag and Disneyworld in Orlando, FL, USA and Universal Studio Tokyo and more.

    #1: The Madagascar Land, notice the right side, by Maybank. HAHA.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Cute Madagascar! – After Far Far Away will be Madagascar. I bet many of you know about the movie Madagascar, it is also one of my favourite animation film and always remember the “I like to move it move it”. There’s also a few rides here, a merry-go-round with all the Madagascar character instead of horses, and a water ride which takes you through a journey of Madagascar.


    #2: Everyone busy taking photos.

    At here, you will also get a chance to meet with the Madagascar character and take photos with them. I see the Alex, Marty, Julien and the penguins. All are very cute and when they came out, everyone was busy taking photos of them.

    #1: Presented by Singtel.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Waterworld Presented By Singtel – Every attractions in Universal Studios Singapore are presented by some big company. Haha, and this one is by Singtel. It makes me feel funny because you can see different branding at there. LOL.


    #2


    #3

    Back to the attractions – Waterworld is actually a show based on the blockbuster film “Waterworld”. I have not watched the movie before. The show actually features live action stunt with fire, explosion, acting, wave, and water splashing around. =D


    #4


    #5

    Not bad, you walked into the sheltered setting with ang-mo (caucasian) actors doing stunts, jumping here and there and climbing up and down. Before the show start, they interact with us and play game with us.


    #6


    #7

    Then the show start. Jet skies, motor boat moving here and there. Then explosion, smokes, and fake gun shots.


    #8


    #9

    I was pretty amazed on how they move around and do stunts within a small setting.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Lost World & Far Far Away


    #1: The Lost World Jurassic Park, not as big as in the movie. HAHA.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Lost World & Far Far Away – Previously, I showed you about the Sci-Fi City and now bring you to The Lost World & Far Far Away. Very sad on that day was that Rapid Adventure was closed for repair. It’s the water rides that will get you all wet, rushing down the stream.


    #2: Two dinosaurs and 3 eggs.

    I feel nothing much at there because couldn’t get to play the Rapid Adventure, so it’s just walk around, see fake dinosaur and dinosaur egg, as well as ride the mini Canopy Flyer to get a good view of Universal Studios on higher level.


    #3: Playing water at the dinosaur’s egg seems fun.

    Then wait for the time to come to see the WaterWorld water show which was pretty awesome and will share with you in another post. I am more interested into high speed ride although there’s a rock climbing called Amber Rock Climb which we didn’t experience.


    #4: Entrance to the Far Far Away looks very fairytale.

    After The Lost World is the Far Far Way with a more fairytale theme featuring Shrek 4-D Adventures, Donkey Live, Magic Potion Spin and Enchanted Airways.


    #5: Hello Fairy Godmother. 
    We had our lunch here randomly at the Friar’s Good Food which I think so-so only. Then went to queue for Shrek 4-D Adventure. The queue was longer than other ride, luckily there’s air-con and fan at the queuing area.


    #6: The castle.

    The Shrek 4-D Advernture was pretty funny and you can experienced some weird scent, shaking chair, water spray and something touching your leg. Haha. Brother told me that it’s the same at Universal Studios in USA.


    #7: Friar’s Good Food. So-so only the food.


    #8: Taking photos.


    #9: Disneyland’s seems prettier.

    It got hot and sunny at here as there’s less shade at Far Far Away and perspiration beats out of the pore.


    #10: Me and brother.


    #11: Random man talking on the phone. Yo, what’s up, why are you looking at the cam?


    #12: Far Far Away.

    We actually came to Far Far Away twice because we were bored and done all the famous rides by afternoon. So we went to Donkey LIVE, an interactive music show.


    #13: The worker at Universal Studios Singapore.


    #14: Donkey Live!

    I thought it’s real donkey or some human-in-donkey-costume but it’s actually a TV projection with an interactive donkey on screen. Haha.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Sci-Fi City & Roller Coaster

    Universal Studios Singapore: Sci-Fi City & Roller Coaster – First stop of my recent Universal Studios Singapore trip is the Sci-Fi City’s roller coaster ride – the Cylon and Human.  We were actually walking fast to the place as we were afraid of long queue but found out the queue was rather short.

    We needed to keep all our stuff on the temporary locker located beside the roller coaster because nothing are allow to place in the pocket. Locker storing only up to half an hour. Then we walked into the roller coaster queuing area, and I got to tell you that the line is very long into it. Haha. Feeling nervous and excited.

    It’s not scary as seen at there. It’s fast, but not fast enough, it’s high but not high enough. End up, we rode this rides four times, two each for Cylon and Human. I like the blue one more as it turns 360 degree. I thought I would throw up after my curry puff breakfast, but everything was fine. It’s just not scary enough. HAHA

    There’s a light ride called the Accelerator and it’s spinning cup with a futuristic round seating design.

    This ride is more for the kids as it’s not very fast and doesn’t feel dizzy after riding it. One thing about the roller coaster is that the track is not long enough as the whole thing ends within a few minutes. Very fast. Haha.

    Universal Studios Singapore: Visiting The Theme Park – Well today gonna bring you back to Deepavali 2011 where it was Wednesday, a fine Wednesday there everyone was off from work, spending the time with friends and family, or self!


    #1: Vivo City, where the monorail station to Sentosa Island is at.

    I was in Singapore and I went to the Universal Studios Singapore! I have been to a few theme parks but didn’t really remember much about them as I was small – Australia Gold Coast’s Movie World, Seaworld, Dreamworld, Thailand Bangkok’s Dreamworld, Hong Kong’s Ocean Park, Malaysia’s Genting Highland, Sunway Lagoon and Bukit Merah Laketown Resort.

    Ignoring all those that I have been to and Universal Studio Singapore will be my first theme park tour around the world. I want to visit all the famous theme parks like Universal Studio Japan, Disneylands, Disneyworlds, Happy Valley, Six Flag and more!


    #2: Roof top of Vivo City with nice man made pool, overlooking Sentosa Island. Was walking to Food Republic for breakfast.


    #3: Makan, makan, eat breakfast at Food Republic. I ate curry puff. =D Don’t want to eat much cause I scared will vomit later when riding the roller coaster. Haha.

    Cut the crap and back to the day. Woke up pretty early at 8am and took the bus to Vivo City with my brother and them meet up his girlfriend at there. Was thinking of eating Burger King for breakfast but end up eating curry puff at Food Republic because Burger King hadn’t open yet.


    #4: Waterfront Station, Universal Studios Singapore stop, first stop of monorail too!

    Then went to the monorail station, no need queue up to buy ticket because I has a Ezlink touch n’ go card with me. Feeling excited because it’s my first time going to Sentosa Island and everyone on board has a smile on their face which makes the day merry.


    #5: Walking to Casino, oops, it’s Universal Studios Singapore!


    #6: Taking photos, me!

    Universal Studios Singapore: Visiting The Theme Park
    #7: The famous Universal Studios globe.


    #8: Me me me me me, IZ ME!

    Reached the first stop – Waterfront Station, alight and head to the entrance of Universal Studio Singapore. Movie theme song was playing loud at the speaker along the way to the entrance. Spotted the big famous Universal globe and took photos of it and then headed on towards entrance.


    #10: Entrance of Universal Studios Singapore.


    #11: Entry point.


    #12: Kungfu Panda came to greet us.


    #13: Scanning ticket. We have our own printed tickets that were bought online.

    Need not buy ticket again because we bought out ticket online and has discount through MasterCard. It opens at 10am, many were started queuing already and waiting for the gate to open. Finally, it opened and we ran into it.


    #14: There’s shade at part of the Hollywood Boulevard area. Luckily, else we would be hot die at there.


    #15: Hollywood.


    #15: New York.

    Yes we ran and walked fast because we were worried that there will be along queue at the attractions. Haha, took photos along the way and headed to the first ride, the most “chi kek” exciting ride, the Starship Galactica Cylon and Human.


    #16: More of New York. 5th Avenue, could Apple Store be near by? NO!


    #17: More of New York.

    There were also props for Halloween like broken car, garbage which simulates a dead city because Halloween was coming.


     #18: Ready for Sci-Fi City ahead!
