Sentosa - Images of Singapore Part 1

Took these photos last November but was too busy to sort them out.

Had a great time visiting Sentosa. The Images of Singapore showcase the history of Old Singapore. It is very interesting and very worth visiting.

We were viewing a short movie about the different cultures of Singapore and where our forefathers come from.

These are just some exhibits show casing the coolies (labourers) taking a rest in their quarters. These coolies mostly come from China and worked in Singapore as coolies to pay for their journey from China to Singapore.

A ma jie (house servant cum babysitter) seeking the help of a writer to write a letter back to her family in China. Most of these ma jie come from Singapore and they vow never to marry. They came to Singapore during the early fifties to earn more money to send back to their family in China.

A female construction worker also know as Samsui women. They worked mostly at construction sites in the 1950s. They carried rocks, dug holes and conducted menial work that defied their small physical stature. They wore a red head dress which became their trademark feature. You can read more about them from infopedia.

A milkman delivering fresh milk to our door steps. Nowadays we get our milk from the supermarket. The milkman is no longer seen in Singapore.

Another new mall that open last year. It is a eco friendly mall, which means it is going green and saving energy. You can read more about it from their official website.

There are many such sculptures around the mall.

As the mall is very new, it has a prize of a car just for shopping there.

Skywatch Friday - Kite Flying with plane in the background

We have so much fun flying kites during our getaway during christmas at the resort. The weather was fine and very windy. A perfect day for kite flying. I did most of the videographing and photography while sons, nieces, nephews and siblings flew those kites. Some kites did not make it up the sky.

Oh I love the kite that looked like a lizard. It flew so high up.
We attract quite a lot of attention with our kites, even tourists wanted to take photos of the kites...lol

As the beach is near the airport, we get to see the planes landing.

A short videos showing the kites flying but not as high as the plane.


Can you spot the lizard looking kite? It is high up in the sky in the below video.
