After a few days in Maldives, I spent 2 nights in Singapore, meeting up with few friends and most important visiting the new Universal Studio Singapore. Been to the LA one 3 times and the last time was about 9 years ago, don’t know if it has any changes these days.The   Singapore one is part a of the Resorts World of Sentosa  which includes Sentosa Park and other Hotels and Resorts. It’s size is a bit small when compare with the LA one, however it does offer some nice rides..

Book the ticket on-line, can collect the discount vouchers for food and  shop

The Shrek 4D experience is real fun, while  at the Jurassic Park, though more or less the same as the original one, the ride uses a round type of raft therefore it’s moving 360 and at last some of the players will get soaked in stead of wet…

The Mummy Ride is  also a must try……….

 Light, Camera, Action - The Back Draft Type of experience is also available at the New York area.

The only down side was one of the ride Battlestar Galactica was closed after some parts of the structures fell off, hopefully they could rectify the problem and reopen the ride soon…..

How can a Singapore trip be completed without some food….?

Flight arrived Singapore early in the moring, hop onto the Staff canteen at the Changi Airport T1 for breakfast

My favourite kaya toast with soft boiled eggs and the Roti with curry sauce

afternoon snack at the food stall at the china Town Market food centre

Laksa and char kway teow

Dinner  Food Republic at Wisma Centre..

Indian Nasi chmpur and Mee Siam

Love it love it the Swensen’s ice cream:

Chocolate Chunk and  the Topless Five

After the Universal Studio day dinner at the Katong area Kim Choo serves  Nonya food ..

Before leaving Singapore had lunch at the Raffles Hotel Empire Cafe

Hokkian Mee, Laksa and Chincken rice the Raffles Hotel’s version

 Just finished a 5 days trip to Maldives, enjoyed the Sun, the Sea…..since you will spend nearly 80% of the time at the resort, I eventually picked  and stayed at the Club Med at the Kani island, it’s a all inclusive package, including air fare from HKG to MLE, accomodation, all food(the buffet) and drinks(alcohol as well), sports(excludes diving)and recreational activities…..of course, you pay extra to join the excursion tour just as riding on a sea plane, snorkeling at further coral reef, diving, deep sea fishing…etc

It takes about 4 hours to fly from Singapore to Maldives direct

It was overcast around 0900 in the morning, however after a couple of hours the Sun fainlly came out..

Joined the water aerobic class at the pool, then a Balinese massage at the Spa

Enjoying the sunset before heading for dinner, the next day went for a brief tour at one of the islands

Afterwards went to  take pictures at one of the Sand Banks then snorkeling at a nearby coral reef….

At night their staff from the resort did a stage performance…

Since all my meals were Buffet…so there is not much to talk about, taste is  average,  though they try to set up the atmosphere on each meal specaily at dinner, and the most fun one was a beach side dinner…and a after dinner beach party

the instant Korean Noodle only served once during my stay and  was the most popular item for all those guests from Korean and China…….

Free drinks and snack throughout the day……

on the day of my departure, it was pouring……for 8 hours from mid-day…….quite surprised to see that, cos I only expect light showers during this very short monsoon season…..

gosh….it’s November!….2010 is approaching to its end…….all of us  can feel that time passes so fast….Have just got reconnect with some of my relatives in Australia, and surprised to know that one of my nephews is already 28 and just got married….. wow…….

Nov also means I’m going to have my 2 weeks holidays, this year it falls on the first 2 weeks of NOV, and I’m heading to Maldives at the Indian Ocean, hope I can prolong the Summer for just a bit( though it’s their Monsoon Season as well) and visit Singapore again during a 3 days stopover,
