Hello Fishy Fishy

I used to think a trip to Sentosa would warrant the entire day. We should buy our snacks and pack our bag the night before, set off really early the next morning and then make full use of all the facilities we paid good money for before attempting to settle for a cheap dinner somewhere on the island. Which was why I've put off a trip for our little girl to Sentosa till i feel ready enough to pack my entire house and plan an entire day of activity for her.

Well, i was wrong. A trip to Sentosa could just simply be a trip to the Underwater World. We can head over somewhere around mid-afternoon, not pack the entire house and still have everyone very happy and satisfied. The little girl was as fascinated with the fishes as long as a baby's attention span could hold, and then alittle more. Isaiah was equally excited, if not more, for visiting the Underwater World for the first time. And I was just glad to have everyone happy and excited with something new.

And the underwater scene was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

The main attraction in the Underwater World would be the 83-metre long travelator where you go through a tunnel with fishes swimming by your sides and over your head. Shanah was particularly fascinated with the huge fishes that were at least 2 to 3 times her size. The little girl even tried to reach out for them! There's also a sidewalk by the travelator if you wish to pop on and off for photos or just to establish some form of eye contact or communication with the fishes. We tried that. Maybe only the little one succeeded.

The main drawback of the trip was the crowd. People were everywhere. Each time we spotted a display or tank that we would like to see upclose, there would be someone there. And when it's finally our turn to see the sealife, we had to do so quickly to make way for the next person in line. Having throngs of people all around just made us feel alittle more kanchiong and kiasu. So when we realised that the crowd had dissipated for the dolphin show after our first round on the travelator, we heaved a sigh of relief and went for a second round.

All in all, it was an awesome trip that's considerably fuss free. Recommended for families with babies and happy bellies!
