S.E.A Aquarium Singapore Review

Made a visit to the (S)outh (E)ast (A)sia Aquarium yesterday @ Resorts World Sentosa. This is gonna be an exciting post! Are you guys ready? To my overseas readers, if you were to visit Singapore one day, i suggest you to go and visit this place because this is the newest attraction that is available in Singapore and apparently i got to know that its the World's Largest Oceanium. It's not South East Asia's largest, it's World's largest! Can you imagine that? I'm going to bring you to this place via pictures that i took yesterday...

I'll try my best to make this post short and sweet and not draggy because i want you guys to go and explore this place one day! Let's go! 





A picture with my family and cousins.





 As you enter, you will definitely visit the Maritime Museum first. This is the museum where they tell everything about the past. How villagers export and import goods using ships and how pirates came and more. The museum/exhibition is separated into four parts. The Chinese with Pirates, Malay with their traditions, Indians with displays of their spices and also the Japanese and Eurasians. 


I didn't bother to read about the history of every single thing that is on display there but from the pictures above you can see that all of the things that happened before B.C. The museum/exhibition is almost the same like the Peranakan Museum but this is slightly better because of the new technology where you'll be brought back to this moment in one the theatre called the Typhoon theatre which i didn't go because you have to pay $10 individually. The statues there is all made of wax, its like Madame Tussaud but a different version. 

A picture of me with a small guy dressed up in malay traditional clothes.
Familiar with this? All spices from India!
Next! 

SEA AQUARIUM/OCEANIUM -

I've been to the Underwater World also in Sentosa but let me tell you this, when i stepped into the aquarium exhibition, i was really shocked to see all this beautiful fishes around this aquarium. It's like an eye opener for you to see how good and great god's creation is! I felt like i stepped into another world, just like being one of the Disney princess, Ariel. 


You can see different types of fishes and creatures in different parts of the aquarium. Like you know the famous fish from Nemo movie, Clown fish, you can easily find them near the entrance area. They're so cute. Lol, i just find this funny. All this creatures have beautiful place to live in. Like its decorated nicely. It's like "why can't we have a beautiful house like them too?" haha. Just a random thought that came to my mind while i was walking around the museum.








 See that starfish below? Have you touched a starfish before? No? Wanna try touching a REAL starfish that is alive like me? Yes, i got to touch a starfish for the very first time! They're so cute! The staff there are really friendly. If you can't reach the starfish, they'll bring the starfish up for you to touch. Obviously the starfish needs to be underwater, they'll just bring it up to you near the surface of the water. 


This picture really reminds me of Patrick, Spongebob's best friend!!! 



  A shot of me with my fish eye lens. Testing out if its okay! *giggles*









 Looking at all this creatures really makes me think that i'm visiting Ariel under the deep Pacific Ocean. Lol! 















 I have a lot of pictures in my camera that i took while i was around the aquarium but i won't upload all. You just have to go and visit them yourselves! A trip not to be missed! 


Can you guess what i did next at Sentosa? 

I went to the Beach area and go on a ride on the skyride and the luge with my family! My mum, aunt and cousins! I didn't bring my camera up to the sky ride because i was afraid that my camera will fall into the "jungles" of Sentosa Island so i just took photos of the scenery from the top using my phone but apparently i'm just too lazy to upload it here! I think the price for the Luge activity is a reasonable price. $12.50 per person is just nice for a sky ride to the top and luge from top to bottom.

The next activity that i would like to try when i visit Sentosa again will be of course visiting Universal Studios and.....i really want to try the iFly Singapore so badly! Sky Diving in Singapore? You can't find it anywhere but there! Looks like i have to save up my money for a ride on the iFly Singapore. Well, unless someone or anyone wants to sponsor me... hahah, i'm just joking!

So, what are you waiting for? Nothing to do on weekends? Bring your family down to Resorts World Sentosa and visit all this attractions! Have a blast!

Pixie Lott and meeting Tiffany Alvord

Hey there everyone. Sorry for not updating my blog for such a long time...
Anyway, i just wanted to share some of my experience i had for this year when meeting some celebrities from Youtube to Hollywood. So it's time for me to start...


First up is getting my opportunity to get a call from Pixie Lott. Do you guys know who she is? 
Yes, that's her! It was like a miracle when i get to call her and ask her some question. In April, i just tried my luck from a local radio station called 91.3fm (Singapore)
And to my surprise, the DJ picked up my called and i was on air and i actually won the chance to get to talk to Pixie Lott and i'm allowed to bring another friend so that i won't be that awkward when i reach the studio on the next day itself. As usual, i brought my bestfriend along and her name is Atiqah(we've been friends for four years already).
Went to the studio the very next day and had some recordings, rehearsals before the actual call which is at night. My question that i asked Pixie was "If you were given a chance to do a duet with any male singer, who will it be and why?" I guess that's what i can ask for at that moment...hahaha.
Eventhough i didn't get to go for her autograph session at Bugis Junction, i think that i'm quite lucky to get this opportunity to at least call her up. 



The next person whom i met is a Youtube Star. I'm not sure if all of you know her, but her name is Tiffany Alvord. She was in Singapore from 2-5th May 2012 for a concert at The Coliseum @ Hard Rock Hotel, Singapore. She came down with some other Youtube singer like Jason Chen, David Choi, Ana Free and more but sadly, Alyssa Bernal and Megan Nicole wasn't invited to this concert.
I didn't managed to go for the concert but i managed to go for her own Meet & Greet session and  i didn't expect all this to happen. I was considered "one of the lucky ones" because i stood beside Tiffany Alvord when she was being swamped by other fans around her and here's a picture!

(Look at how close i was to her!) 
It was really really amazing!  I actually made a gift card for her and she took it and so i also got to took some pictures with her before she got mobbed by the security guards and she was nowhere to be seen after that. I waited for her to come back but sadly, she didn't but nevertheless, it was a really great experience for me (:

So to finalise this post, i would like to share some other pictures with all of you and i actually came up with a video for Tiffany Alvord that i posted on Youtube and i think you guys can watch it too! Here ->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JmCG0onWzc
& don't forget to watch my other videos on Youtube too okay? :P
These are some of the experience that i'll never forget for the rest of my life. 
xoxo, Ainul Athirah!
