My family just returned from Singapore. Orchard Road was beautiful with lights on the street. However I think the decoration was not as good as my last visit.

I planned this trip in June as I saw some of my SIA frequent flyer miles were going to expire. I wanted to go Bali but my hubby didn’t like that place. We settled for Singapore since I have free stay in Singapore Hyatt too. That hotel is superb. They gave us complimentary meal by the pool because I had a tiny complaint.

My children love the SIA airplane ride because of the TV, I have to bring my own headphones for them to watch cartoon. The air stewardess brought toys for them. Next they enjoyed the swimming pool and cartoon channel in the hotel. The rest was just ok for them.

First stop, none other than Sentosa Island. My friend recommended the Luge ride which Emily absolutely likes. You should try it when you are there. It is a ride on a plastic thing that goes downhill. She told me she wanted to ride it alone the second time. I didn’t like the sky ride as I have height phobia. Tim has really sweaty hands when he rides that too.

We also went to the Underwater World but were a little disappointed because there was no dolphin show. The seal show was pathetic. Only 10 minutes and after that, they were all out to get our money by asking us to take pictures with the seal.

We went around the tunnel to look at fishes a few times as we were looking for the scuba diver to come down to feed the sharks. No scuba diver there, he didn’t come. It was stated in the pamphlets the timing but no divers. We found the diver out in another big tank. He was cleaning the tank. Another disappointment.

Timothy decided he wanted to go the beach. Well, it was really hot that day and it wasn’t such a good idea. I don’t want to be burn like a sausage. He was really persistent, so we take a tram ride to the Siloso beach. We found a very shady area where we rest. The children had fun with the sand playing. Well we can get this from Penang Island and I asked myself, what are we doing here??!! I guess the view is much better and it is free.

Next I will blog about the Hippo tours and the famous Singapore Flyer.
