Sentosa here i come

Sentosa here i come

Itching to go to sentosa for a long while and finally went there today. Heard that there's lots of new attraction over there and i wana see the new stuff too. I'm a singaporean u know?

Met reb to go sentosa and happened to bump into her frenx. I have heard about the new luge ride in sentosa and want to try it. It seems that reb's frenx are first-timers too and they want to try out too. I heard about how fun the luge ride was and rh, you said it's exicting too rite? Well I tried the ride and was fairly satisfied with it since I don't have high expectation for it. $8 per ride, that's quite expensive. The tracks are not that challenging and if you compare the luge ride in auckland, the NZ ride is much exciting.

Firstly, in sentosa, the tracks are fairly straight, meaning you don't need to turn much at bends. In auckland, the bends are certainly much challenging and you can even visualise you dropping off the cliffs if you are not careful.

Secondly, sentosa only offers 1 course mode while in auckland, they offer 4 course modes, namely, beginner, intermediate, expert and scenic. Seriously buying mutiple rides in sentosa is stupid since you will go the same course again and again. Sorry if i accidentally offend anyone. haha.

Anyway, we should applause sentosa for bringing this idea from abroad even though there's still room for improvement. At my stay in auckland, i was quite fascinated by this luge ride. Compared to the go-kart in escape theme park, it's more exciting and fun. I was thinking to myself how come there's no such thing in singapore since the technology used is relatively simple. Then shortly after, sentosa finally got such thing. Those who haven't try it, it's worth a try.

Then after that, i went to the beach and nua there. Damn shiok to be idling in the beach. Stay there for quite some time before going for dinner at Burger King.

After that we proceed to muscial fountain. It has been ages since I last stepped there. The place was so crowded that we had difficulty finding seats. i would say the musical fountains is an under-publicise attraction of sentosa. The images made by the lasers and water fountains are so lovely and one should go there and see for himself. Definitely a great difference since i last saw it. And most importantly, admission is free of charge, so you all should just go and take a look.

What a lengthy entry. Time to zzz.
