We were having so much fun at the Universal Studio (USS) that we were relunctant to leave it for the Underwater World (UWW)! But 'sudah beli ticket' (bought our tickets already), must go!
Since dear nephew, dear cousin and I each had a camera, we were crazy taking pictures of each other, everyone and everything!
In the tram also wanna take pictures ah? You snap me, I snap you lor! Hehehe...
The tram stopped at Beach station before we got down and went hunting for the Blue Line bus because we wanted to go to the UWW.
The bus conductor told us that we must get down at Siloso Point!
Okay lor! Can round the island and still go there if we want coz free rides mah! :D
Once there, you can buy your tickets at the counter!
The moment you step into the UWW, this is what you'll see!
How to move while inside there?
Aiyah, follow the signboard lor or just flow with the crowd!
Note:
There are three sections of fun here!
1) Get on the moving belt and enjoy the underwater world feeling where the fishes, big and giant, swim around you! Go as many rounds as you want coz the feeling is different one; the crowd, the ordour and the fishes you can sight!
Ya lah! This picture for their advertisement board, for free! Ahahaha!
Can any time step out of the belt and stay stationary at a spot like the few aunties there! Heehee..
Oui, feeding time lah!
Wow!
Gotta squeezed in to take this shot before I got pushed out, almost immediately, from watching the "show"!
Aiyok!
Don't use your camera flash! It will only be patches of lights coz reflections from the thick glass lah!
Common sense, right??
2) Leisurely walk around the place to see aquarium after aquarium of live sea creatures you don't get the chance to see other than watching National Geography!
These tiny garden eels looked so cute in the sand!
Peeping out, standing out or hiding in!
We stood in front of the jelly fish spot for a long time, watching them change colours!
From red to pink to green to blue; only to realise later that their colour changed because of the light at the bottom of the tank!
Never mind lor, they still look beautiful mah!
Then, we found these "mushroom" jelly fish!
Aiyor, so loveable!
They looked like small button mushrooms moving in the water!!
These sea horses were so unique!
Err, or sea dragons ah?
Sorry lah, the place was too cramp to read signboards!
It was 'see n go'! Also "syiok"!
Still got plenty one but if I put all the pictures here, you will say "saw them no need to go"!
But being there and seeing pictures not the same mah!
Also, I bet different species will be on displayed one, if you go later!
Before I tell you the third section of the place,
let's go for Dolphin Lagoon Showtime first!
We only needed to walk out of the UWW building and we can already see the 'lagoon'!
Before you go into any tourists places, you must check if they have any showtimes so that you can maximise your time at the place!
After all, they came with the price you had paid for your ticket!
Why waste it?!
If you go there a little earlier, you will get better view seats!
The host of the show normally will ask for volunteers
(to add in more thrill/ fun to the spectators)!
By sitting at a strategic position, you can get noticed easier
(provided you are one for fun and dare to put up your hands)!
Volunteers will usually get some gifts or free photo pose with the animals!
Yeay!
Erm, provided the host is not bias to choose only non Asians or foreign looking ones to participate lah!
The whole show's lime light was on the fur seals!
Clapping, catching, play dead, standing, walking, swimming and what not!
Bravo! So cute! So adorable! So clever! Wow!!
I did enjoy their performances but I was looking forward to the dolphins' performance lah!
But....
These were all we saw!
After that, they were just swimming around.
Later, when we asked the trainers why the dolphins did not perform much, she said because there was thunder in the vicinity. It was difficult to get them to do what was trained when they were not at ease.
Hmmm, maybe next time lor... disappointed....
After the show, those who wanted to take pictures with the dolphin can pay to do so.
Do you know why there are pink dolphins?
We learnt that dolphins are grey skinned but as they age, the grey skin will shed and the pink skin will be exposed.
A pink dolphin is an old dolphin wor!
Oooohhhhh.....
After the showtime, we went back to the UWW to proceed to part 3 of fun there!
3) Touch the fishes!
There were a starfish, a stingray, a puffer fish, two varieties of shark in the small tank for us to touch.
This guy, a staff there, was giving some explanations to dear Mrs Nephew!
Eh, what he taught you lah? You better teach us later ah...
Personal experience of the touch!
The starfish has the roughest skin of all - like rock surface!
The stingray - smooth with little pricky "hair" feeling!
The puff fish - the slimiest of all!
The sharks - different species have different roughness of the skin!
Hey! I touched the shark!
Small one dare to touch lah! Big one no way man!
This guy felt a little like sand paper!
Sayang, sayang ah...
We stood in front of the big tank for a while!
The tank was filled with big stingrays!
Better not touch coz we did not want to be stung by their tails!
Then, one staff came over to tell us we can touch them all coz they had taken out their "sting"!
Voila! What are we waiting?! Touch lah!!
It was amazing to find one smaller guy always swimming up to be touched!
Smooth, soft and touchable!
Really loved it!
While we were playing with this guy all the time, suddenly the big guys starting swimming up to the glass panel!
Splash!
Ahahaha! What a pleasant surprise!
They also wanted to be touched wor!
I say, that was really a wonderful experience!
While the adults were busy playing with the stingrays, my favourite gal found something else to play with!
Hey, I used to rear these fishes lah!
The "feng shui" fishes!
Until now I still wonder how come the water inside remained in the aquarium lah with that hole there at the side!
Must go back to school to study Physics!!
Just beside this, you will find the hand wash area!
That got me thinking; should we wash our hands before we touch the fishes or should we wash them after!
I did it after! Hehe..
Thank goodness, the fishes did not die after my touch!
Just when we were walking towards the bus stand, we noticed some birds on the roof top!
They were queuig to fly from there over to the tree across it!
The top two pictures taken by dear cousin while the bottom two taken by dear nephew!
Fantastic shots indeed!
Me? Too slow lah! By the time I clicked, the bird already reached its destination!
Wakakaka!!
Yup! This was the bus we boarded to leave UWW!
The crowd had left for dinner already and we were on our way for ours about 7pm!
Bye, UWW!
If you have been here once, "cukup dah' (enough)!
But if you are here to visit the other parts of Sentosa Island, this will be a good place to visit too lah!
Check out where else and what else I went and done in Singapore!
Coming soon.....
