Underwater world Sentosa!

Finally.. an update for March!
Haha.. I had a long break this time..

Okay, here's an update of our visit to the underwater world at Sentosa!
Mama quickly gave Cayden-boy a quick measurement as a few centimeters on the chart could mean extra ticket payable. Hehe.. Cayden- boy was still in the "free" zone.

A few centimeters off 80cm
Upon reaching Sentosa, we took an internal shuttle bus to our destination, the Underwater world!

My first instance in a public bus with Cayden-boy!

A pose before entering the aquarium

Once inside the aquarium, Cayden-boy beams with excitement when he saw the gigantic fish tanks with multi-vibrant colored fish species swimming in front of him. Mama and I began to play teacher and guide Cayden-boy around the new playground for the day.

I tried educating Cayden-boy through the descriptions off the tanks

The "conveyor belt" brings us round the fish tank while Cayden-boy looks around with amazement

Mama tries to relate shark's ability to attack babies with the specimens..
We had plenty of shots but most were not usable due to the poor lightning conditions in the aquarium. Really regretted not buying the flash before this trip.

Out of the aquarium, was the outdoor dolphin lagoon!

Geared up for the next itinerary at the dolphin lagoon!

Mama managed to catch a glimpse of the dolphins with a 50mm prime lens with perfect timing!
We headed straight to the gift shop after the short dolphin displays. Mama found some interesting hats for Cayden-boy... Putting on the hats was no easy tasks.. We had to convince Cayden-boy by saying .. "Waaaa... handsome... " with an exaggerating expression.

Handsome boy....
The shark sculpture at the exit caught our attention and since its not sheltered and especially when there is a barricade surrounding it, its got to be me to go under the sun and break the law by going over the barricade...

Cayden-boy's first brush with the law..
Next, I ordered some ice cold desserts to cool ourselves down.

Nothing beats an ice kachang in a hot afternoon!
While we were enjoying the ice kachang, we notice crowds forming across the road. We raced towards the scene and found the center of attractions - peacocks! mama jumped into position with Cayden-boy while I snapped happily at the rare occasion.

Peacock spreading its tail!
Out expedition at the underwater world ended in the evening and Mama was still energetic as ever and wanted to have a stroll along at RWS (Resort World Sentosa). To keep myself alive, I get myself a cup of sugar free ice mocha and to my surprise, Cayden-boy loves it too! I am proud to say.. "like father like son"! haha!
Cayden-boy refused to return my ice mocha after his first few sips...

A shot that must not be missed marked the end of the long wonderful day for us!

It was indeed a tiring, but fruitful day for all of us. We finally set foot and paid expensive entrance fees to the underwater world after a few weeks of planning.
