Sentosa - A Pictorial Post

Js suggested going sentosa and since i was intending to go watch songs of the sea, we arranged a trip there. but sadly, there wasn't good responses, there were only 4 of us in the end, but it's a good thing too cos 4 is a good number to take in a car. And js ripple sr with me.. had a wonderful day at sentosa, lot's of photos, loved them 3, wonderful models! The sun was hiding behind the clouds for most of the time while we were there, so ended up taking lot's of photos instead of tanning under the sun.

This photo comes in a matching pair.. see the other one here.
At 6 plus, we went to wash up to prepare for the entry to the new attraction at sentosa, songs of the sea, which is supposed to replace the famous musical fountain that has fasinated me even when i was a little boy, even before laser was added in. then we were totally captivated by the water sprays dancing and swaying to the music. expectation for this new show was really high, moreover you gotta pay $6 to watch it now. at 7pm, ,long queues had been formed at each of the 5 entrances!! wow!.. because it's free seating, i guess there will be people who want to get the best seats and the only way is to get there early and wait.

Doors opened at 7:20 and we got quite a good seat, queueing up for 20 mins was quite worth it. stage set was beautiful, looked like a fishing village, the beach became the performance stage and the sea was the backdrop. show started on time at 7:40pmclick on the photo for a larger version.
Was rather disappointed, i felt that it could have been better, the laser, the lighting effects and the fire effects were good, but the dancing fountain has lost it's magical touch, i wasn't impressed by the non swaying water sprays at all... water that can dance to the beat of the music have became a thing of the past, only found in my memories... let's hope sentosa will improve on that part and present a better show, so i guess you can't call it the musical fountain anymore.
On the way out, we saw this..
rip: hey, aren't you guys called the j4?
jx looked at js and i guessed the same thought arised "j4..haven't heard it for a long while, is this group still around?"
I haven't been blogging with the j4 label for a long time, and i hope this is not the last. Ok.. let's not spoil the mood for the evening.. it's dinner time
Walked a while around vivo to look for a place for dinner, and when i saw that kim gary was queue-less... i just had to try it after hearing the comments from the place. so there we went. and with sr being a frequent visitor to hk around, he should know if the food is autentic tasting (i think he goes hk more frequently than i go sentosa). you can see my reviews by clicking on the "kim gary" link above.
Walked past pat's oven and got some toasted wasabi macadamia nuts.. and spent the rest of the evening laughing at js as he hiccuped his whole night away!... thanks guys for the wonderful weekend! Photos were suberb.. a good lens is nothing without you sporting people being the models..
