Underwater World, here we come!

It was a public holiday on 7 Nov 2011, and we decided to bring Le Xuan to the Sentosa Underwater World.  I had arranged with bro that we would fetch them at 8.30am but to my astonishment, I woke up at 8.20am!!! Dear also woke up with a stiff neck =/ After packing all the stuff as fast as I could and picking up bro and Xiaojia, we went to Vista Point to grab some bite. It was also then that we realised that there was a big walk event on the same morning at Sentosa, and we were praying that we could get a lot when we reached. 

Le Xuan was quite cooperative throughout the journey although she wasn't sitting on the child seat, thanks to mum. When we reached at about 11am, we went to watch a show at the dolphin lagoon. The weather was rather hot, nevertheless Le Xuan enjoyed seeing and waving to the sea lions and pink dolphins :) Dear and I were also happy that the Dolphin lagoon has been relocated to the underwater world and the audiences can now be closer to the animals.

After the show, we went in to the Underwater World. Le Xuan was so excited about putting her hands into the fish tank where she could feel the fishes, or rather she enjoyed playing with the water.  It was so hard to get her moving so that we could see the other aquariums. Me, dear, mum and even Xiaojia had to take turns to carry her while bro performed the role of "Mario" most of the time, haha. Le Xuan looked quite amazed when she saw an 'uncle' swimming in the gigantic tank and feeding the fishes. But she was also quite disappointed that she could only see but not feel the fishes. That was why she kept saying that she wanted to go back to the entrance which was the only place where she could get to touch the fishes. 

After going through the entire tunnel, Le Xuan was so happy that we were back at the entrance and insisted that she wanted to touch the fishes.  It was back breaking for me as I had to carry her and bend forward so that she could feel the starfish.

But luckily, someone came to my rescue very soon. It was the pink dolphin mascot!! Le Xuan was so excited to see dolphin jie jie and wanted to go up close to her. It was the chance for us to take some photos with Le Xuan and the mascot, and Le Xuan was so cute when she wanted to touch dolphin jie jie's hand and do hi-five with her. Hehe somehow this seemed to be the main highlight of the day =P

It was time for lunch and we decided to look for the Hot Dog King as bro said we could get discounts from his New Paper advert. We sat down at the nearby benches after buying our food but poor Le Xuan got a fright when a few peacocks went up close to her, plus the fact that she was feeling quite tired then. After lunch, we made our way home at about 1pm. It sure was a fun and exhausting trip to Sentosa! :)
