the long delayed pictures from our trip to Sentosa for the Sentosa Flower Festival.

first the Flower festival itself:

It seems like the standard of the show drops year after year. I remember when we went for our first show together how beautiful the displays were. But the displays we saw were rather withered and lack imagination. In fact the rats were rather scary and unfriendly looking. Dare I say it, too cheena, for my liking.

After the festival we took a walk to Siloso beach where we sat on our new mat to watch a trapeze show:

It seems every trick they tried involved someone slipping and falling. Makes you wonder how much practice they had trapezing. And oh...they offer lessons!

And after that we headed back to watch the long awaited Song of The Sea show:

I missed the old Musical Fountain. But after seeing this, I must say it is even better. The use of lights,smoke,water,fireworks and lasers (did I miss out anything?) made an altogether more dazzling show. Although the story line is rather scanty, it did provide an excuse for a visual spectacular. The music was catchy and memorable. If only I could remember the words. The only drawback is that you have to go early to get tickets, for which you have to pay $6 for, and then come early again to get a good seat. But the arena is big and dare I say even bigger than the old Musical Fountain. Although it was a weekend during the CNY weekend, we managed to secure good seats with space to spare.
