Crane Dance

After hearing about it for the longest time, we were there at the right place and right time to watch the Crane Dance.

It's quite interesting to watch two monstrous piece of metal with the help of software and engineering, become so graceful as it 'dances'. It's two cranes courting each other.



Great use of lights, water and fireworks at the end!
I mentioned correct time, because it does not show daily.

Refer here for the show timing.

World's Largest Stack of Durian

At Resorts World Sentosa, the world's largest stack of durians was unveiled on 23 August 2013.
Many species of Durians were available. The most popular being Mao Shan Wang.



It's a durian buffet where durian lovers pay a fee and eat as much durian that you can swallow.
It has become a yearly affair and it looks like it will get bigger and better.

Battlestar Galactica Re-opens

Adrenalin Junkie take note! Battlestar Galactica re-opens!

I was at Universal Studio just before Chinese New Year with my brother and his fiance. Guess what I saw? A sign at Battlestar Galactica saying it will re-open soon, they are doing test cycles.



Suddenly I heard some sound from above. I looked up at saw that they were testing the rides!
The above, Battlestar Galactica: Cylon. (on the blue track)




Can you see Battlestar Galactica: Human (on the red track)?

As an Universal Studio Singapore Annual Pass holder, I got an email invite asking us to go for the ride before it reopens to everyone on 21 Feb 2011. Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday night, annual pass holders will be the first few to scream their lungs out!


Which do you think is more fun or scary? Human or Cylon?



My brother was so unhappy that this attraction is only reopening when he is now back in UK.

Universal Studio Singapore - Canopy Flyer Queue

In the last two weeks, I have been inside Universal Studios Singapore twice!
(We treated a friend to her birthday here and also bought my brother and his fiance tickets as belated birthday presents. January was a cheap month to buy tickets as gifts because there was 20% off the ticket prices if you pay using a 'certain' credit card)

The Canopy Flyer at Lost World USS happens to be one of the many rides I enjoy.



It's such a short ride, but the waiting time is so long because it's so popular.
Just look at the queue! Guess what? Old folks seems to like it too! I see grandma in saris taking the ride too!

The best time to take this ride is at 6 PM! At around 6 PM, there are no queue and you can take the ride over and over again with no waiting time. Get down the ride, go back to the entrance, walk up the ramp and you are next!

Big Rabbit! - Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Wishing all who celebrate the Lunar New Year a very Blessed Lunar New Year!

It's the Rabbit year!

Rabbits or anything rabbit is popular this Lunar New Year.



This is the huge green rabbit at Resorts World Sentosa.




During the night, it turns purplish!


Trivia:
The Chinese have 12 animals to represent the zodiac animals. This year happens to be the 'rabbit' year. But do you know the Vietnamese also have almost the same animals. They do not have the 'rabbit' year though. Guess what is the 'rabbit' represented by?

Ans: Cat!

Bunnies...

I am always amazed that plants and flowers can be so versatile and sculpted into things so captivating.



I happened to enter "Sentosa Island" to meet up with my bro and his fiance using the newly opened "Sentosa Boardwalk".

The moment I reached Sentosa Island, this was what welcomed the visitors.

Universal Studio Singapore Annual Pass - Fun Pass

Momo and I behaved like little kids for the last few months, we were faithfully collecting spare coins to put into each of our piggy bank. When it finally reached $318 each for our piggy bank, we broke it! We carried the heavy bag of coins to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) and told the lady at the ticket counter: "Please, can we have 2 Annual Pass, the Fun Pass version."

Did we really do that? No, we just took out our iPhone launched the calculator and enter $318 divided by $72 (weekend ticket) and we saw that we just needed to visit Universal Studios 4.4 times to make it worth it. Instead of a bagful of heavy coins, we gave the counter lady a plastic card to purchase 2 plastic cards today!



We are both glad and a little dissapointed when we got the card. We are happy because we are proud owner of the Fun Pass annual pass.

Disappointed because there was no Universal Studios logo on the card! There was only a Resorts World Sentosa Singapore logo and words on the card.



The only indication that it's the Universal Studios Singapore card is at the back of the card.
I have blanked out the original Name, Barcode and Photo from the card. Why? So that you can't print this page out and enter the resort as keropokman!

The Fun Pass version does not allow us 365 days access to USS. The other thousand over dollar "Superstar Pass" version does, but we don't think we can afford it. We don't think we will be entering there everyday!


Anyone out there is a fellow Annual Pass holder? ;-)

hey boy, that's not a real chocolate bar!

Saw this at Candylicious at Resorts World Sentosa.
This little boy must LOVE chocolates!



Candylicious is the biggest candy shop in Singapore.
