Sentosa

View from the cable car 

People only go Sentosa for a couple of reasons:
a) when you’re a silly tourist
b) when you’re a beach hunk/babe
c) when you have free cable car tickets

And obviously, option c only applies to me. Liang has free cable car tickets which are expiring at the end of the year. They’re even glass-topped cabins! Which I thought didn’t look much different from the normal ones but are $5 more expensive. So anyway, those of you who have been in a moving vehicle with me (make that moving anything) would know that I get car-sick VERY VERY easily. Those of you who have been to Mt Titilees with me (oh speaking of which I’m thinking of blogging abt the Europe trip again soon, looking at our lovely photos inspired me) know that I also get cable car sick. Well, now I found out that I get car-sick even in the lousy cable cars of Singapore where the ride lasts less than 10minutes. I’m deeply ashamed. Anyway, as a result of my cablecar-sickness I was unable to partake in the picnic Liang prepared for the cable car ride. We wanted to have our very own romantic cable car dinner which would definitely not cost hundred over bucks. (I thought the Valentine’s cable car dinner idea was ridiculous, spending two hours trapped in a cable car, eating horribly expensive food, what if you have to pee? Or puke for that matter? And what if you haven finished your food? And what if you suddenly got claustrophobic? Sigh and they charge you $120 for it)

In the last 3minutes of the ride, I got enlightened by Liang that the floor of our cabin was also made of glass and thus was supposed to give us a feeling of being suspended in midair with nothing underneath (that was the whole idea of glass cabins). But the glass floor of our cabin was so scratched and dirty I couldn’t really see out of it thus resulting in me only grasping the concept of glass cabins at the end of the ride.



Abandoned civilisation 


I realised the floor is also made of glass 


Me and our cable car 

Since there’s nothing much to do at Sentosa (they’ve got this new chair lift and slide thingy which is pretty cool but hideously expensive) we headed to the beach where we saw many indecently dressed young kids milling about. I tried to sun tan myself but the sun wasn’t really out and I got rather frustrated. I said that any sun which allows you to look at it with naked eyes isn’t considered a real sun at all while Liang argued that the presence of shadows equals presence of sun. Anyhow, because I felt silly waffling about suntanning when it looked like it’s gonna rain any moment I insisted that we make sand castles with the objective of making the best protected castle. While Liang made a boring symmetrical square of a castle with a moat (yawn), my castle had high tech security like nuclear bombs and security cameras equipped with automated machine gun, so naturally I smoked my way through to victory. As we were happily digging in the soft sand, I noticed that at some areas the sand seem to be warmly moist, I was just about to comment on that fact when we both saw a cocker spaniel stroll happily to a spot 2m away from us and relieved itself there. We hastily abandoned our castle building.

I got hungry after abit and was forced to eat the sandwiches he prepared for me for the cable car ride, but that was 6 hrs ago and before the sandwiches were squashed by somebody’s head. I still ate them though, which was a true testament of the depth of my love, actually, it was more like a mark of how I’m used to lousy food. (I even miss the science canteen yong tao fu)

Well, at the end of the day, I left a very happy and very burnt (drat! I really dunno how that happened *Liang says I told you so) girl.


Nice view 
where we saw many young couples doing things they shld not be doing in public. sigh kids nowadays
