By the time this post is up, I would have already visited Sentosa twice - the first time being the week before Chinese New Year and the second time during the annual Sentosa Flowers (圣淘沙春節花會).
I will be combining shots from both visits into one post. I have blogged about the Sentosa Boardwalk in the previous post. I shall now begin this post with entering Sentosa.
Loved the greenery!
Visitors to Sentosa via the boardwalk could purchase a ticket at the ticketing office (located near the end of the Tropical Rainforest theme) or, if you are a local or a tourist possessing an EzLink card, you could simply tap your way in at the gantry.
This is what you see the moment you enter Sentosa via the Sentosa Boardwalk.
The Sentosa Express from Vivocity will arrive via these tracks
Where to go first?
Artificial limestone cave?

This needs no further introduction - Universal Studios Singapore (USS)
I still have not got the chance to visit USS, yet. Will find a chance to do so soon.
Malaysian Food Street
I had wanted to have my brunch here but was put off by the crowd. *Gonna knock myself on the head for turning down the invitation to attend the food tasting before it opens to public.* Not sure if this is gonna be a permanent thing? Will dedicate a post to this soon.
The second week I returned, the crowd got worst. We now have to queue to get inside!

Don't you wish this tree is real?

Why didn't I buy? WHY? WHY? WHY?
M&Ms
Time for lunch
Guess what? I bought these from Vivocity Giant and have been lugging them (the Pokka drink was six in a pack) around the island all day. I didn't know there are KFC and 7-11 at Sentosa now... #fail

What used to be the old World Trade Centre
Viewing deck
I wish they could extend the shelter over here. It could get unbearably hot during the afternoons.

Back at Vivocity
Did you know that this is my first visit to Vivocity? It was quite out of the way from where I lived and one of my 2012 New Year resolutions was to actually come here. So must take a picture to prove that I 到此一遊 before. One resolution down!
No, make that TWO resolutions down. The other resolution was to visit Sentosa! Heh!
Nice sculpture
