Skywatch Friday - Cable Cars

Cable cars moving from Harbour Front to Sentosa and vice versa. Took these photos from inside the ferry on the way back from Batam to Singapore.


The cable cars are newer and better. Been a long time since I sat in one of them, need to try out the new cable cars, one day.

View of Resort World Sentosa

View of Resort World Sentosa from my ferry on the way to Batam.
Hard Rock Hotel, Sentosa
Part of Universal Studio, construction still going on.

The above photo is that of Labrador Park which is part of Singapore which is connected to the whole island of Singapore. It was a former defence battery and we still can see traces of the fort.

You can read the history of Labrador Park from Infopedia.

According to Legend, it was believed there was an undersea tunnel between Labrador Park and Sentosa but no one can verify that. There was a research on the tunnel which shows a collapsed undersea tunnel about 20 metres underground. The tunnel was thought to allow the british soldiers easy access between islands.

One day, I will visit Labrador Park and take more photos of the park. Geez, Singapore is so small but there are so many places I have yet visited ...lol

My World Tuesday - Ferry Terminal - Trip to Batam, Indonesia

As mentioned during last week, My World Tuesday, I was going on a short trip. The answer for the question posted last week, was Batam, Indonesia. I went Island Hopping during the weekend.

Hop over to Batam Island in Indonesia. Batam is very near Singapore. It was just only about 45 mintures ferry ride from Singapore to Batam.



The queue to board the ferry that I was in during the weekend, was indeed long. But it took very fast to get all the people onto the ferry. Very fast and comfortable ferry ride.
There are so many different companies operating the different types of ferries to Batam. I will talked more about Batam in my travel blog. So if you are interested in my travel story abroad, please hop over to my travel blog.

My World Tuesday - Cruise/Ferry

This is the cruise and ferry terminal located in Harbour Front Centre.


The cruise centre has bigger and beautiful luxury ships that goes to nowhere (means on international water only), to Malaysia, Thailand and other parts of Asia.

Some goes on the cruise so that they can use the casino aboard the ships but with two casinos now on Singapore Land, I guess it somehow affect the business of the cruise ships.

I have not try the cruise before but I might do so one day. I actually prefer the plane.

The ferry terminal has services to Batam and other parts of Indonesia. Look at the signboard that reads CIP Lounge. I thought it should be VIP (Very Important People). But on checking, I realised that CIP meant Commercially Important Passenger.
I will be out of Singapore this weekend, guess where I am going? Answer will be post, when I return from my short trip. :)

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

Looney Tunes at Plaza Singapura

These photos taken during the June school holiday. I brought my niece for a movie and happen to know there's a show by Looney Tunes. Oh I love Bugs Bunny. I was so excited that I brought my niece to watch the show.

But I am wondering why I am more excited than niece about Bugs Bunny...lol. I guess I am still young at heart. Hmm...so this give me the excuse not to bring niece to Universal Studio Singapore in future...hahaha. Planning to go to Universal Studio Singapore later part of the year as some of the attractions are not ready yet. I want to make my money worth...hahaha.
Being the football season, Bugs Bunny is the goal keeper while the kids get to throw the ball into the net.



Some short videos on Looney Tunes Characters in action.
