sentosa staycation - part 2

for saturday, we stayed on the island the whole day and sentosa really has so much to offer!
we only went to selected attractions and the hot weather and all already drained us lots.... zzzz

photo-taking at merlion area since our hotel is just opposite it!
the weather was still nice and cool in the morning but turned horrendously hot in few hours time.... 

playmobil fans alert: storytelling with playmobil will be here for mth of jun!
next to images of singapore..

the boys have fun posing with some of their fav. characters.
we have the knight and pirate at home. :D

after brekkie @ starbucks, we went butterfly park!
it was almost 8 years back when hubbi and i last went (we were still dating then..) lol.
first time for the boys and to my surprise, yz was more uneasy with the butterflies around us than yr.
they have some other animals/insects there where the boys can take a closer look.
scorpios, beetles, stick/leaf insects, iguana, monitor lizards etc.
not too bad for a small attraction.

yz was brave enough to touch an iguna! 
YZ touched it a few times while didi only managed once before running away saying it will bite him. ha.

the butterflies was pretty big, most are around 3/4 of my palm size!
and the elder son surprised us by telling us how to differentiate between butterflies and moths.
when at stationery, if the wings are closed up, then that's a butterfly.
if the wings are fanned out, that's a moth.
pretty cool kindergarten knowledge for us. LOL.

we went for late lunch around beach station area.
there were a booth set up where you can take photo with python for a small fee. 
ooh... how to pass up the chance with my fav. animal!!
the boys were a little apprehensive initially but they warm up to having the snake around them probably due to mummy's enthusiasm. ha.

only my smile is heartfelf and genuine. ha!

and like tired old foggies, we popped back to our hotel for a quick nap...
i think nowadays, i can only survive the day by sitting in the air-conditioned office typing away.
anything else, i need my nap....

the ng family moved out again to the..... merlion!

nothing fantastic about merlion - just the view aint too bad and the boys enjoy peering out of its mouth and seeing the view on its head


we spent the rest of the evening strolling slowly to beach station. 
taking the beach tram for a short tour along palawan beach...

by the time our tummies growl it was near to 8pm! gosh, where did the time go?!
there were tons of people everywhere so we decided to settle dinner at our hotel restaurant - table scape @ movenpick.
it was surprisingly a good choice.
i had the best cod fish of my life though the lamb rack and risotto for the husband and boys were nothing to rave about too much.
*yum yum* 
super juicy cod fish with barley risotto. *slurp*

our desserts - apple tart was good too!

we went 7-11 after the late dinner to get some supper stash.
after the boy K.O.ed at 10+pm, the night was spent munching on junk food while watching HBO - the usual activity with hubbi when it comes to hotel stays... :P
