All I ever do nowadays whenever I go to Sentosa is to chill on its beaches. I almost never explored anywhere else, because I thought there was no where really interesting to go to. All touristy stuffs, I thought. Nothing that could interest a local like me.

How wrong could I get??!

Thanks to Sentosa’s Group Comms Dept, Papa Isaiah and I got invited to try out 4 of their popular attractions last weekend, and I had a renewed mindset about Sentosa all over again! It totally reminded me of those fond days when Papa Isaiah and I were still dating, when we would go to Sentosa and roam the island, just enjoying each others’ company and the lovely island. It was a perfect place for a short getaway, and there was always this smell of sweet holiday lingering in the air. Love it.

All 4 attractions we went to are located at Imbiah Lookout, one of the areas we seldom visit. First up, we went for the Sentosa 4D Magix – ‘Pirates’. It was such an interesting experience!!! =P

I wouldn’t want to spoilt it for those of you who’re planning to go for the show, but rest assured the 3D effects of the show are nothing like those we see in 3D movies. It’s way, way, way (X500) better. There were several scenes where the 3D character was right in front of my eyes that I found myself backing away! As for the 4th ‘D’ of the show, I’ll leave it to your own imagination. =D That’s me in my 3D specs! =)

On the whole, I found it to be a very entertaining show!

The next show we went to for the Sentosa Cineblast – ‘Extreme Log Ride’. This ride is somewhat like a virtual roller coaster, where we were seated in a cyclone unit with our 3D specs and we were ‘logs’ that went through the transportation system to reach the final destination – A deep, deep valley. In this ride, we could feel the exhilaration of flying to the top of the highest mountain, the stomach-churning thrill of rushing into the deepest valleys, and the gripping excitement of being tossed about by whitewater rapids. It’s totally suitable for scaredy cats like me, who dare not take real roller coaster rides!! =D

Just next to the Extreme Log Ride is the Desperados 3D! This is a fun 3D show that incorporated interaction elements in it. As we rode on ‘horsebacks’ with our 3D specs, we could use the laser guns to shoot at targets on the screen and score points! It was fun and exciting because the ‘best’ and the ‘worst’ scorers were highlighted during the game. I shall not reveal who emerged as the ‘worst’ scorer. Too embarrassing to talk about it anyway. (P/S: It was not the 4 kids who were in the same game as us) Well, at least we had style. All’s not lost.

The personnel even captured our best moment during the game. They commented that I looked very cool and steady. Indeed I was. And I’m sure you could tell between Papa Isaiah and I, who got a higher score. =.=

Finally, we wrapped up our Imbiah Lookout experience with a scenic ride up the Tiger Sky Tower! It was such a fantastic finale ride after all the exciting rides that stirred up all our senses. The view was panoramic and very soothing!

The tower stands at 131 metres tall and the whole ride up and down is about 8 minutes long.

The viewing cabin is air-conditioned and very comfortable.

Enjoy some of the views I saw while I was high up there!

What a fun time we had at Sentosa. Thanks once again, Sentosa, for the wonderful experience and all the fun rides! =D
