CNY break - Sentosa

I redeemed the Sentosa Play Pass with HSBC credit card's reward points and brought the 3 babies and my SIL down to Sentosa for a day of fun. Charmaine couldn't join us in the morning as school is a school day. Rachel's school as usual, gave them an extra day off and thus, she was able to join us in the morning. 

Hubby fetch us down to Mount Faber in the morning and we took a cable car to Sentosa. The cable car ride is included in the Play Pass and taking a cable car in means we do not need to pay for the Sentosa admission fee. The first thing we did when we got there was to redeem the return cable car tickets. Although the cable car is available till 10pm, but the Play Pass redemption is only till 7pm.

We did the less thrill stuff in the morning, leaving the thrill attractions in the afternoon when Charmaine & hubby joined us.

We took the Tiger Sky Tower, a thing that we will not bother trying if its not included in the Play Pass as its super boring.

Next, we proceeded to the Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom. The kids, except my SIL who ran away every time a butterfly got near her, enjoyed looking at the beautiful butterflies.

Next, we took the free Sentosa shutter bus down to Resort World where the Maritime Museum is located. Its quite an experience in there and had fun in the multi-sensory Typhoon Theatre!

By the time we are done with the Museum, its lunch time and we went to the Malaysian Food Street near the entrance of USS.
There was a long queue and we were half-hearted to join. But Rachel said the queue was moving fast and when she peeked in, there were lots of empty seats. Food we ordered there:
Penang Lim Brothers’ Char Koay Teow

The 3 girls went for the Flying Trapeze too. Here a video of Charmaine doing it.


Next, we visited the Images of Singapore. We spend a good time there looking at the exhibits.

Then the kids went for all the shows (DESPERADOS in 3D; Pirate @ 4D Magix; Extreme Log rides @ Cineblast)

We end the day doing the Skyline Luge before heading back home via cable car.
