Sentosa - Fort Siloso Part 3 - There's Light at the End of the Tunnel

It is true about the proverb. There's light at the end of the tunnel. So when everything dont seem to be going smoothly for you, dont despair, something good might come up one day and slowly your problem will go away one by one.
Sometimes we need to walk the tunnel alone to see the light (meaning ...at times, we need to solve our own problem alone)....I found this so true cause noone wanted to follow me walked through this tunnel to view more exhibits...lol. My relatives were all too tired to continue the walk. So when I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, it was a delight to me.


I wanted to take photos of the exhibits to share with my cyber friends, so bravely I went in the tunnel and am so happy when I saw the light...lol. It was like a horror movie, I was so worried something or someone in the tunnel, will suddenly touch or appear before me...yikes!

You have to visit tomorrow to see what is at the end of the tunnel.


A short video of me walking in the tunnel. I cant even see my camera or my hand....hahaha. As I was so afraid, I made a lot of noises as I made my way down the stairs. You can also heard the echo of my relatives talking in the background, they were sitting in one of the bunks resting and waiting for me.

Sentosa - Fort Siloso Part 2

Continued from yesterday post on Fort Siloso, there are so many things to be seen in here.

The best part was going into the bunks and fort to visit. There are wax figures to show us the history of the fort.

There's a small museum too. I spotted a samurai sword in the museum.


More photos coming in later posts.

My World Tuesday - Sentosa - Fort Siloso Part 1

Today, I will begin my new series on Fort Siloso on Sentosa Island.

Fort Siloso is a coastal artillery battery and one of twelve coastal artillery batteries which made up ‘Fortress Singapore ’ at the start of World War Two. Although there are remains of other batteries to be found on Singapore, Fort Siloso is the sole restored battery. ‘Siloso’ is a Philippine word meaning ‘Jealous Person’. You can read more about the history of Fort Siloso from its official website.

Fort Siloso was heavily armed in anticipation that the Japanese would attack Singapore via the south from the Sea during World War II but the Japanese soldiers came via our backdoor i.e. from the North of Singapore via Malaysia. So the guns in Fort Siloso was never used for the fighting during WW2.

So sad that we lost the war and was under Japanese Occupation for about three years. I was not born then but my parents did suffered during the war.

A short video taken when I was on the tram going up the Fort. The tram ride was about 5 minutes ride and sadly we need to do most of the walking in the hot sun.....lol.

Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

More photos of Fort Siloso coming up in the later posts.

Sentosa - Posing with the Python

Tourist posing with the python...yikes, it is scary. The last time I posed with a snake was when I was visiting Penang, Malaysia at a snake temple. I had to hold the cold slimy snake in my hand cause my son wanted to snap a photo with the snake. I carry my son on one hand and the snake on the other hand...lol.

A short video of the brave girl and the python.

Skywatch - Sky Tower

Viewing Singapore from Sentosa in this Sky Tower which can turn 360 degrees. I did not take the ride cause my relatives from Cambodia did not want to take the rides. But I sat the Sky Tower before in Hong Kong. The one in Hong Kong is shorter than the one in Sentosa.

A short video showing the ride up.
