.... just the outskirts, ok! (Nope we did not venture into The Universal Studios, etc.)
Ok, it was my dear Hubby's idea to drop by Sentosa, as we were at Vivocity that morning (to run an errand). It was totally impromptu & unexpected. I really cannot remember when was the last time we visited Sentosa. If I can recall correctly, there were only 2 grandkids in the extended family then (coz we headed there together as a big group), but now there's 7 kids. Haha! it was sooo long ago!
We choose to drive & park there coz we did not intend to stay long. Errm ... big (costly) mistake! Sadly, we mistook the parking charges & we thought it made more sense to stay on for the 2nd hour ($2) as the 1st hour charge was already (an expensive) 6 bucks. But when the car passed through the exit gantry, it wasn't 8 bucks, it was 11 dollars (!!!), eventhough we made sure we left before the two hours were up!
Arrgh! it was one ... damn ... expensive ... parking lesson!
The moral of the story people : Don't park inside Sentosa!
Oh weell .....
On to the (many) pictures.
Why ... are ... people ... so ungracious ?!!!
When they wanna take photos, we (have no choice but to wait) patiently for them to prim & pose (& snap). When its finally our turn (in the bl**dy sweltering, hot sun!), they take their own sweet time to move away or simply can't be bother to stand aside?
Why, oh WHY ???!!!
When there's a cat ...
... there's always a dog. (no?)
Walking to the sweet heaven called "Candylicious".
Sweet lollys galore!
With Mr. Jelly Beans.
A Hershey;s Bar, A Reese's Peanut Butter Bar & a Peeps (I think).
Yes, I was very hungry ... for some chocolates!
Ryan : I'm bigger than you, Red M&M!
Ryan : You are cute, Miss Green M&M!
Posing with more M&Ms.
A shot with Daddy (Notice, both my boys are in orange).
Posing with the giant Hershey Chocolate Syrup bottle. Yep, the bottle's bigger (& taller) than the both of us!
By the water-feature.
Hubby is holding on to the Garret's popcorn bag. The popcorn is out-of-this-world delicious! We bought the caramel flavour. You can try them out before buying (but of course! Its damn expensive, 8 bucks for the smallest bag!).
Beware though! People who hate strong smells or the smell of popped-corn will want to stay clear of the shop, coz the smell was really overwhelmingly sweet. Ryan did not like the smell at all, he said it was smelly! (& even wanted to vomit).
Haha! Silly boy! I will definitely buy the popcorn if we ever drop by again. Yes! its that nice!
Hubby & son had to queue for a long time to get this free sculptured balloon (from the guy in the clown suit). It was a balloon-gun, which my boy was probably yearning as the other boys asked for "guns" too. (P.S : Ryan is not allowed to buy toy guns & stuff).
Performers on stilts (they were just standing around). If you wanted a photo taken with them, you have to queue again (too long!). So, I just snapped a photo of them.
P.S : There's more photos to share but I'll have to put it up in tomorrow's (separate) entry. Come back for more. ya!
