Passing though The Shoppes stores we finally found the Helix Bridge. Much to our delight the laser Light & Sound Show had started and the images were being projected onto the walls of the Art Science Museum. We watched this magical sight for a while mesmerised by the play of colours on the lotus like structure of the museum and the music playing all around us.
You realize you’ve reached Singapore when you spot a cluster of islands and then lots & lots of cargo/fishing ships floating in the water ! After completing all the formalities we headed towards the MRT (Mass Rapid Transport) the lifeline of Singapore . . Both of us had decided to make it a proper backpackers trip except for staying in a fancy hotel and shopping ofcoz ! 😀
The lanes had numerous Hollywood themed cafes, toy stores, souvenir shops & statues. There was an entire store dedicated to Minions !! ❤ We felt like kids again. Much to our delight it was ‘Meet N Greet’ time with Frankenstein ,the most scariest monster of them all !!
After browsing through the shops in ‘New York’ we moved on to the next theme ‘SciFi City’ . All we could see was Transformers and Starbot around us !
Seeing those mysterious large statues gave us a glimpse of what it would feel like to actually be in Egypt !
we were actually in the movie ‘Jurassic Park’ ,the tall T-Rex statues,the entry gate just like in the movies with the theme song playing all around us . As it was almost time for the ‘Meet N Greet’ with ‘ The Newest Addition to the Lost World’ we sat eating our snacks waiting for the show to begin.
Diane seemed so ferocious and adorable at the same time , you could actually mistake it to be real ! The guide explained some fun facts about Diane before we got to click pics with her. She seemed so alive we were scared she would jump down from the truck and attack us !
We felt the scorching heat on our backs we moved on to ‘Madagascar’. After checking the souvenir shops we reached back to ‘Hollywood’ . Wanting to experience Transformers 3D ride once again we rushed back to ‘SciFi City’ , much to our delight it was ‘Meet n Greet’ time with BumbleBee & OptimusPrime ! Boy was there a long line to meet these cool bots!
called the cultural center as there was information regarding all Asian Countries provided in separate sections.
taking some amusing clicks of ourselves in the museum we exited.
By this time it had almost stopped drizzling so we decided to Luge our way from Imbiah Station to Beach Station. With raindrops falling on us, feeling adventurous we luged our way down the slippery trail to Beach Station. As the beaches here were not very spectacular we took the cable car ride back to Imbiah Station. TIP – The cable car ride is more scenic on the ride from Imbiah Station to Beach Station than the other way around .
