New Discovery


I think I've become more or less a mountain tortoise (meaning to not keep up with the times).

Why, you ask? Because I've just discovered the joys of Flickr.com.

Seriously. I could spend the whole day cross processing my pictures and thinking up titles and descriptions for them.

*****

I was messing around the whole day yesterday with pictures we took on our trip to Sentosa on Sunday.

*****

In accordance with our plans for saving, we spent relatively little that day. If it weren't for applying to be Islanders and the entrance tickets to the Images of Singapore, we'd be a lot further from the red right now.

*****

Anyways we spent the day walking from Palawan beach, to Tanjong beach, back past Palawan beach and to Siloso beach. And walked around some more before heading to the supposedly free Images of Singapore where we met Bunz.

Anyways, more photos in the Sentosa set over at Flickr.com.

**** UPDATED 29/12/2008 ****

Needed to clear space for my Flickr account, so this set will be moved to Photobucket and posted here. Captions and comments follow the original Flickr photos.

A day out with my Samsung L700. It's a relatively easy -peasy toy for amateurs like me who just likes snapping away at anything and everything. Lazy took me out for a day at Sentosa. We reached a little late though, and missed a few attractions.

New Tickets



Our ticket to paradise (Sentosa)

Our First Time



... taking the Sentosa Express together into the now under-heavy-construction Sentosa. Don't go to Sentosa just yet, the constructions are due to be finished in 2010.

Companion For The Day



My very own Lazychoo!

Glimpsing Paradiso



Welcome! Mi casa e su casa, so start getting comfortable!

A Good Photographer..



... is able to take clear snaps while on the move

Travellers On The Same Road



This is like, the very first time I'm willingly wearing short shorts out.

We're Sweet



On our way to a road together.

Baywatching



The dudes near the statues were openly staring and discussing about the numerous beach babes lounging under the shade.

Cute Guy



I meant the dog. Really.

Building Her World



Strange how when you start building awesome sandcastles, strangers start crowding around you like they know you or something.

Beachside Fun



Traffic was dense on the bridge.

Picnic On The Beach



If everyday could be spent here under the sun..

A Shady Road



Village In The Greens



If you DON'T look closely, this resembles some tribal villages hidden deep inside dense jungles.

Hi, My Name Is...



Sea Turtle. Same as everyone else here at the Underwater World, Sentosa. And I stink. So bite me.

A Road Less Travelled



This lonely flight of stairs looked as if nobody's been passing by for ages.

Trecherous Roads



A jungle trial surrounded by dense forestation which Lazy says reminded him of his army days.

An Unexpected Visitor



This dude here was just joining in the fun beside the stall where people take photos with snakes around their necks for $5, but quickly became an attraction in his own right. People were more interested in him than the snakes.

Multitude of Colours



Right outside the Images of Singapore. They're layered juuuust right.

Images Of Singapore



Lots of tourists. We blended right in.

A Trip Down Memory Lane



Don't be fooled by the glitz and glamour of the exterior of the truck. The inside's really simple and spartan. Old but interesting.

Signing Treaties



That's Sir Stamford Raffles in the middle. No mention was made of Sang Nila Utama though.

Antiques: An Acquired Taste



This is a kerosene lamp. But there's no kerosene in it. Play cheat!

Help!



The empty boxes are surprisingly heavy. I'd never be able to lift them without the pulley system.

Persuasion



"Dude, quit lazing around, bring me for a kiddy ride!"

Same POV



"Now I can see from your point of view.."

Taking A Breather



And having an interesting and stimulating conversation with Mr Chinese Waxman. He's not happy that I didn't offer him my drink.

Dictating A Letter



The Lazy giving his two cents, even though his written Chinese is horrible.

Watching The Puppets



According to Mom, roadside puppet shows were the main entertainment for children during her time.

On Hot Coals...



At the Images of Singapore attraction. It was a surprisingly cold experience, considering the hot coals I was attempting to walk across.

Two Old Men



The title says it all.

Exhausted



Lazy's kinda' exhausted after half a day of walking from beach to beach.

Skyview



This ride is reserved for our next trip!

On Our Way Back



There's a rush hour for people entering and exiting Sentosa too.

Application In Process



Here's the Lazy looking serious while filling out the application form for the Sentosa Islander. Lazy likes applying for cards.

We're Islanders!



The Lazy and I decided to become Islanders, to get more discounts on most of the Sentosa attractions and... to have more excuses to pretend to be tourists.
