Sentosa: Isand Resort (no more!)

yeap. i do think that sentosa is no longer that island resort that i have used to know and remember off. call me out dated or too nostalgic but i don't care. i just want the old sentosa to be back! all they have now is construction sites here and there..

anw, i went to the island resort sentosa yesterday with Kahying! we've been wanting to go there for quite some time and finally we went there to "pa-tor". haha!

suddenly, i noticed that when ever we go picnic, our meal will include a baguette. (look back at that post a few months ago on the suntec picnic).

here is us, in front of merlion, eating, before a monkey come and scared the shit out of both of us. -_-"

yummy breads we had and a scare from monkey!

seems that i didn't know sentosa that well after all.. other than the merlion, ferry terminal, musical fountain.. apparently imbiah hill is there all along and i didn't know there is a imbiah hill there till recently. and the fact is that i had been there many years ago before. with this i conclude that we need to be more observant with out surrounding yea!

did noticed that alot of places are also gone.. like the ferry terminal, musical fountain and monorail rides! remembered my family used to go to the ferry terminal there to take photo when we were at sentosa, cos the structure of the building is nice and there is this spiral staircase that is very nice. monorail rides were also a must-have. its really good cos its open air, meaning we can touch the leaves. the trail is also a round the island one, unlike the current sentosa express. but well, we live in a society that economy values are more important.. sighs..

actually, i have been wanting to look for a natural trail that has dragon and dinosaur bone structure, which i was there when i was camping at sentosa 10 years ago. (gasp!) didn't really remembered where it was and thou we saw it on the map, we could not locate it. walked for a long long distance around sentosa, past where the old musical fountain and volcanoland used to be.. they're all closed up for that stupid IR development liao..

just when we were about to give up, we saw this small entrance at the beach, looking hidden in the trees. seems like it is quite deserted and the branches are falling. the adventurous two decides to just go in and explore. and taadaa! found! but the whole trail seems quite hidden and deserted liao... which is quite sad cos i tot it was quite a good natural trail. we walked for quite a long time, exploring the place and taking photos before settling at the beach to watch the musical fountain performance. wasn't in cos it was full house and couldn't get a tic laa... =(

dino trail. rrooaarrr!

dinner follows at Vivo, the noodle shop next to the food court.. which is quite nice!! strongly recommended by the both of us!

finally we went there and even thou it is no longer as good as before, i would still go.. cos that is what little we are left of some nature we can touch. bukit timah hill is too in accessible so dun ask me go there. haha!
