Day 1: Hola Sentosa!
"All our bags are packed, we're ready to go ..."
Looking very pleased at the tram stop ...
... cos there's lots of poles for swinging!
Papa and mama managed to sneak in a photo while I was busying myself at the tram station.
After we've checked in, we had to walk through a couple of wooden planks from the reception area to get to our room.
"Attacked" the curtains the moment I arrived at the suite.
We managed to catch 1/2 hour of Barney on Okto. What a surprise!
Konked out at 2pm. Woke up in the middle of the nap to puke out 1/2 of my lunch and a lot of phlegm, but managed to get back to sleep till 5pm nonetheless.
Insisted on going to the jacuzzi to "swim" immediately after I woke up from my nap.
Fiddled with the outdoor shower feature while waiting for the jacuzzi to be filled.
Weather was unbearably hot when we made our way to Vivo for dinner. Check out my messy sweaty hair, and this is after I've just taken my bath.
We were again too lazy to visit the underwater world this time round, so this was the closest I've gotten to the fishes on the trip.
We planned to have dinner at Hogs Breath Cafe, but found out that it was under renovation (?!??!), so we had to settle for a smallish cafe at Vivo's basement instead. Lamb chop was mediocre ...
... lagsagne was too sour ...
... and the pasta was downright offensive, since I developed an allergic reaction two mouthfuls into the dish! Had insisted on having pasta after having seen a picture of it on the menu, but this dish was such a waste of money. Coughed non-stop, developed rashes around the chin/elbows, complained of pain in the mouth area, and was whine-y for 1/2 hour thereafter. Mama couldn't even bring herself to finish the rest of the dish on my behalf. Yikes! The only consolation was that I didn't puke the two mouthfuls out.
We packed some snacks on our way back. Mama had some buns (including this deer meat bun) while I snacked on bananas, crackers and milk.
