S.E.A. Aquarium and Maritime Experiential Museum in Sentosa

Ardon had a voucher that we could exchange for admission tickets to some attractions in Singapore. After looking through all the options available and with December being the rainy season, we decided on the S.E.A. Aquarium. The S.E.A. Aquarium is an indoor attraction and is located inside Resort World Sentosa. We topped up another $32 to get 2 adult and 2 child tickets. The admission ticket to the S.E.A. Aquarium included admission to the Maritime Experiential Museum.

On 4 December when the weather was better (cloudy most of the time), we drove into Sentosa ($6 per entry from 2 pm to 5 pm on weekdays) and parked at the Beach car park ($3 for 1st 4 hours). 

We took the Sentosa Express (free within Sentosa) from the Beach Station to Waterfront Station. Once out from the Sentosa Express Waterfront Station, we just followed the signboard and it took us about 5 minutes to reach the S.E.A. Aquarium.  We entered the S.E.A. through the entrance of the Maritime Experiential Museum.

Christmas Wonderland at City Square Mall

We reached City Square Mall just in time to see the "snow" coming down from the second floor of the mall. 

After that, we brought the kids to the park at Level 1. As usual, we took some pictures with the Christmas decorations outside City Square Mall.

There were some games and rides at the park too. Each ride cost $4. For those who have spent more than $200 in City Square Mall, they would get a complimentary ticket.

The kids enjoyed the ride at the carousel. 

The picture below is the spot where the Festive Light Show and Snowy Playtime take place every night at 8 pm and 9 pm from 15 Nov to 29 Dec 2013.

Our Christmas Tree

I have always liked Christmas trees since young. I still remember that my first Christmas tree was a gift from my cousin and was white in colour. Although it was just a small tree, it really made my day.

After Ardon and I got married, we bought a Christmas tree shortly after Lynn was born. The Christmas tree was bought at Cold Storage and it was 6 feet tall. It cost $69.90. The leaves looked sparse when there were few ornaments on it. Through the years, we bought more Christmas tree ornaments and it looked much better with more ornaments on it.  

Subsequently, as we had more and more toys and books, we realized that it was too big for our flat. The leaves also kept falling off and the branches had started to look more brownish. It was time to change to a new Christmas tree.

So, last year, we bought a new Christmas tree from Giant Hypermart. It cost about $20. As this tree was shorter and slimmer that the previous Christmas tree, we had more than enough ornaments to go round the tree.

Last weekend, I set up the Christmas tree and the children had so much fun decorating the Christmas tree. Sera hung the ornaments at the bottom of the tree as she is younger and shorter. Lynn was responsible for hanging the ornaments on the higher part of the tree. This was how our current Christmas tree looked. 

Did you notice that the star at the top of the tree changes colour every few seconds? We bought it from Perth, Australia a few years ago. Glad it is still working. :)
