A Day @ Sentosa Island

Sentosa meaning - Peace and tranquility in Malay - chosen by Singapore public
The island was once a fishing village known as Pulau Blakang Mati. It later became a British military fortress until 1967 and was handed back to the newly independent Singapore Government. In 1968, the Government decided to develop the island into a holiday resort for local visitors and tourists.Today, Sentosa is Singapore's premier island resort gateway with multi-faceted appeal, teeming with events all year round. 


ha ha you can have more information from net even :) 
We went to Sentosa Island this weekend and I have to say its awesome.... It's definitely a must visit place in Singapore..We managed to cover the Imp events in a day- but its good to have a complete weekend to cover entire Island...

1. Merlion Statue - Singapore was founded by a Malay Prince by the name of Sang Nila Utama.He wanted to find place to build a new City and set out to have a look at some islands off the coast of Sumatra.While hunting deer on one of the islands he saw a strange creature with a red body, black head and white breast. It moved with great speed and grace. He was told that it was a Lion.He felt it was a very good omen and decided to build his city there. He called the city Singapura, (Singa means Lion and pura means City.) which he ruled over for close to 50 years.A gentleman by the name of Fraser Brunner came up with the design in 1964 for the Singapore Tourism Board. It looks like a Lion's head and a Mermaid's body (Fish).We can find the original Merlion at center of city in Singapore River. The Merlion in Sentosa island was almost 1M high and elegant. We can go top the Merlion through staircase  through inside the statue ...:)

2.Under Water World : The Underwater World oceanarium on Sentosa is home to more than 2,500 fishes from 250 different species.There is a touch pool for some hands on Experience with starfish, stingrays and if you dare, baby sharks - I didn't dare for any :) Then venture into the ocean depths via a moving travellator that ferries you through an 83-meter-long acrylic tunnel. All around you, sharks, stingrays, eels and schools of fish glide past – engrossed in their own world.

I don't know exactly but after seeing it I thought we have the same in many of our Telugu movies :)

3.Dolphin show - Included in the Under Water World is a Dolphin Lagoon .. Beautiful show it is  on Island. Dolphins are most intelligent creatures after Dogs. I heard this only at the show. The food for dolphins is small fish .. if you give them dummy rubber fish, though they look exactly the same as normal fish and nod head saying No for that dummy food :) They play with ball, they can roll a round string around it's head. jump through a ring and many ...

4. 4D - Show : ha ha . the ultimate show which every one has to go.. Its a 4D show. till now I have experienced only 3D but not 4D. You will experience every thing tats going on the screen. We have been to Pirates 4D show which is a hunt for treasure in a forest area.  We felt crabs at our feet, drenched in forest rain and even bats  flew at our faces... Its nice experience though its bit scary for some.

5. Songs Of The Sea - last but not the least is Songs of the Sea. Its a Musical Fountain combined with a laser show. There are no words for all who are seeing the show except woooooooooooowwww... The show was set at the sea shore creating typical village atmosphere... It's Awesome... the picture to the left is part of that show. They have shown the girls face with laser and fountain water...Show lasts fro about 30 min and I bet you couldn't keep your eyes away from the show... The theme they have selected, the way they exhibited on the sea shore.... awwww... its just toooo good.Can't say in words , you have to see and feel the awesome experience...
