My World Tuesday - Sentosa - Cute Sculptures

Once exiting from the boardwalk, we entered into Sentosa and saw these cute and beautiful art installations by Brazilian neo-pop artist, Romero Britto displayed at The Forum of Resorts World Sentosa.

These sculptures are enamel painted on aluminum


I love the cat sculpture, looked really cute.

Sentosa - Going to Sentosa via the Boardwalk

There are many ways to visit Sentosa from mainland Singapore. We can drive there, take the cable car, monorail, bus or simply walking there.

The thing I like walking there is the new 700-metre timber boardwalk (a kind of bridge) linking mainland Singapore and Sentosa. It is sheltered and had travelators for those who cant walk long distance, especially the senior citizens.

Different parts of the boardwalk was colour coded and themed.


Finally we done walking the 700 m boardwalk and we arrived the ticket office. For those who want to buy tickets for the different attactions in Sentosa, can get the tickets from the ticket office or if you just walk to take a brisk walk on Sentosa just skip this ticket office and go straight to the gantry gates.

Admission via the boardwalk to Sentosa is only $1 and for quick access we can use our EZ link Card (the card that we used to board bus or train).

For more photos of the Sentosa boardwalk, can view my previous post.

Orchard Central - Roof Garden - The Stairs, The Clouds and The Sky Sculptures Part 2

Ending my finale post for the roof garden of Orchard Central with this sculpture of a man climbing the stairs.

It looked very interesting and amazing how the sculpture looked like it was being suspended midair.



Little niece taking a good shot of the sculpture.

From the bottom of the stairs, the reflection of the sculpture and some tourists walking up the stairs looked like there are three sculptures and six men but actually there are only one sculpture and two men.

Orchard Central - Roof Garden -, The Stairs, The Clouds and The Sky Sculptures Part 1

On the 12th Floor of Orchard Central Roof Garden, there are several sculptures worth taking photos of.

Need to stand at different angle to take good photo shots of the sculptures and the sculptures can move when the wind blows. Very well done sculptures.

From this angle, the sculpture looked like missing a head. :)

My World Tuesday - Happy Birthday Singapore

Today is the 46th Birthday of Singapore. Wow I am older than my country...lol.

Singapore had been a part of various local empires since it was first inhabited in the second century AD. It hosted a trading post of the East India Company in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Singapore was occupied by the Japanese in World War II and reverted to British rule after the war. It became internally self-governing in 1959. Singapore united with other former British territories to form Malaysia in 1963 and became a fully-independent state two years later after separation from Malaysia. Read from source for more about Singapore.

So we gain our independence on 9th August 1965.

This morning, I went to Sentosa for a brisk walk with hubby. Saw this very huge flag with a heart shape made of roses on Sentosa Island just infront of the Images of Singapore Building.

We walked to Sentosa from mainland Singapore via the Sentosa Boardwalk which I posted about in my much earlier post in February 2011.

We saw a huge banner of greetings at the boardwalk. Some wrote very nice words and greetings and some drew on the banner. Very beautiful way to celebrate National Day.

Orchard Central Shopping Mall - Roof Top Garden - Flowers

After viewing the sculptures on the 11th floor of the roof garden of Orchard Central, we climb up the stairs to the 12th floor to view more.

Not many flowers in bloom but enough to attract visitors.



Saw many aquatic plants in the small pool on the roof top.
