There are a lot of things to do in Sentosa. Other than the rides, one can visit the Images of Singapore Museum and check out the amazing displays ranging from wax figures to dioramas and even film shows. Of course, who could miss the huge Merlion monument which houses a gift shop and several floors of wonders. Make sure to have your picture taken at the mouth of Merlion (I didn't). And course, one can have access to the roof deck and have a birds eye view of Sentosa.
For the adventurous, I recommend The Tiger Sky Tower, Singapore's largest observation deck. Not to worry, it is safe. People are enclosed in this doughnut like enclosure, the same enclosure spins slowly as it rises to a certain level, comfortable enough to view the entire city.
Well... enjoy!

| The Canopy walk in one of Singapore's Science Garden located in Sentosa. It may seem like a bridge of sorts because I am not an accomplished photographer who can do justice to it, but in reality, this walkway is positioned at par with the branches of the tall trees. |
 |
| Beauty amidst the chaos of Sentosa |
 |
| Flora are scattered everywhere in the island creating a balance between natural and man made structures |
 |
| NOT for the faint of heart. Why do you think I convinced Bes Francis to take the bus? |
 |
| I am both claustrophobic and acrophobic. Definitely NOT for me. |

 |
| Of course, a photo op with the birthday boy |
 |
| Probably one of the two prominent Merlion monuments in Singapore. |
 |
| Merlion standing proud and loud. Raaaawwwr! |
 |
| But don't expect me to raaaaawr. |
 |
| Entering the Merlion Monument, you are greeted by this. |
 |
| Creepy, but it's worth it... Promise! |
 |
| What have you done to Ariel??? |
 |
| The look on this dragon's eyes is very piercing. |
 |
| This is one of the cards that one gets from those fortune telling booths. This can be exchanged for souvenir items. |
 |
| Of course, we had to climb the roof deck |
 |
| This is a much more closer to the ground view of what we had seen at the Tiger Sky Tower |

 |
| Don't ask me.. all I know is... it's freezing and it's windy! |
 |
| I don't blame myself for looking so bloated. Food is great! |
 |
| More! More! (Because Bes Francis keeps on insisting I should have more photos) |
 |

 |
| Again, with the birthday boy |
 |
| If those pillars were made of chocolate.... I won't let anyone near. |
 |
| This is probably the closest I will ever have in comparison to Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house |
 |
| Oh the humanity! Candy! |
 |
| Seems like everybody is having fun |
 |
| Click click click |
 |
| Of course we saw a familiar name, we just had to check it out. |
 |
| Nobody likes to swim in the rain. Pffft! |
 |
| Well I stand corrected. |
 |
| To get to the other side.... a hanging bridge! Why not! |
 |
| The Sentosa Express |
 |
| Inside the Images of Singapore Museum, we decided to go crazy |
 |
| Click click click |
 |
| Amazing backdrop actually |
 |
| Love it.... May I take this home? |
 |
| Ni hao ma? Hey it's a wax figure of a supposed early Chinese settler |
 |
| I wonder how the real Chinese Opera looks/sounds like. |
 |
| A depiction of probably, street life, perhaps? |
 |
| Singapore is a melting pot of cultures and the Indian influences are prevalent |
 |
| Let's ask him how much for the bird? |
 |
| Not sure, but this looks like a ceremonial something something |
 |
| Burning coals? Naah! Why not walk on fire? |
 |
| You're hesitating, aren't you? |
 |
| Wow, I really NEED to see Chinese opera someday |
 |
| Birthday boy insists.. more picture! |
 |
| And it's night time... |
 |
| Time to leave? |
 |
| Bye bye Sentosa |
