Cable Car ride and Adventure Cove Waterpark @ Sentosa with a toddler

 This trip was an impromptu one as PL got a last minute call from his friend and she informed that she was coming to Singapore for a week long trip.

Since PL had to reserve one of his precious weekend to bring his friend (and family) around, I decided that H and I shall tag along.

We started off our journey from Mount Faber Park and took the Cable Car to Sentosa. (You can get your cable car sky pass here!)

H was very excited about the Cable Car as he had went for it once before when he was about 24 months old. Now that he is nearly 36 months, he is able to articulate his likes (and dislikes) very well, hence it is VERY worth to bring him along. And the plus point is that he doesn't have to pay for the ticket! YAY!

The view from the Cable Car is awesome and I can understand why there is a demand to dine on the Cable Car. It would be very romantic :D

When we reached Sentosa, it was a long walk to Adventure Cove Waterpark. A very long walk. We were very close to Imbiah Station, where we could take the Sentosa Express to Resorts World Station, which would be a shorter walk, but they chose to walk. (Don't make the same mistake. Just take the Sentosa Express).

When we reached, entering was easy with the mobile tickets. There is a changing room right at the entrance and it was a pretty easy affair to get changed.

Then, it came the difficult question. What could H do? Being 90 cm, he could only go for 1 attraction, namely no. 11, Seahorse Hideaway.

According to the lifeguards, there are 2 other places that he could enter, which is Big Bucket Treehouse and Adventure River. But when I went to these 2 places to take a look, I didn't dare to bring H in. 

Adventure River

Adventure River is a leisurely ride through 14 zones, only if your toddler don't freak out on you, as there is a zone which is dark and lit with orange lights. Furthermore, H refused to wear the lifejacket, hence we didn't take that ride.

Big Bucket Treehouse

There are quite a fair bit of slides and bucket flushes, but it wasn't suitable for H as he would panic when water is being poured on him. The slides would be a good choice for kids who have learnt some swimming skills and are not afraid of submerging their face in the water for a few seconds. 

So... we ended up going to the only place we could, which is the

Seahorse hideaway

This place is perfect for toddlers as the water level is not very high. My only gripe with the place is that some of the areas are very rough on the feet (the beige areas) as they are made of small stones. H cut his feet because he started jumping around. Nevertheless, he was very excited and forgot about the pain till he was back home.

The foamy area (blue colour portion) was good to walk on. For toddlers, I would recommend to be physically there to supervise as some of the older kids actually came in and splash around, scaring H.

Food-wise, we brought in some milk packets and it came in handy for H. He rejected the hotdog bun that we got and drank up the UHT milk instead. Based on the reviews that I had researched on, it seems like outside food is not allowed. However, there was no bag check when I went in with H. 

Enjoying the waterplay

We spent about 3 hours at the Waterpark, only at this location. Then, we headed off to Vivo city for dinner.

My verdict for this outing:

Cable Car Ride

Very worth it if the weather is good. H gets to see and ask a lot during the ride and it can be repeated.

Adventure Cove Waterpark

Money could be better spent elsewhere if you are bringing a toddler along (unless you are going with an older child who is able to play unsupervised/partner is going along).

If you are going as a family, it's pretty worth it as you can play the whole day there.

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

Review: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's...

Review: PA Holiday Flat Chalet

Just ended a retreat at PA holiday flat chalet. We got it for super cheap (56 bucks) for 4 days 3 nights. Excluding electricity. The first thing I thought of was that PA is always understaffed, because we had to wait for 1/2 hour to check in as the staff was not in office. Finally, when we managed to check in, we realised that there was a lot of stuff not provided for. Booking the BBQ pit costs $3.20. And there were no toilet rolls in the toilet. And we have to clean up the rooms. Like throw all the rubbish away and such. This was the first time I had been to such a chalet so I was a little shocked. We took #03-03 and everything was fine till the last day when there was a thunderstorm. The wall started leaking and formed puddles on the floor. One tip to note is that taking the ground floor is better when there are lots of movements around. Climbing the stairs multiple times a day is no joke. The bedroom of #03-03 The BBQ pit, with the playground and the flats in th...

Bad experience at Fitness First Singapore for membership transfer

Recently, as I have been busy, I wanted to transfer my membership to someone else. Naturally, I called up Fitness First to check if I can transfer the membership and they told me that as long as they are willing to pay the transfer fee of 98 bucks and the remaining months of the membership, I am able to do the transfer. It sounds alright, correct? Then, when I attempted to transfer the membership, problems started to arise. Initially, the staff at Market Street Fitness First told me that yes, I can do the transfer(and that is after calling them multiple times as none of the staff can actually confirm it. They just told me to wait for their return calls which never ever happens.) Then after that, when I called for a last time to confirm when I wanted to make my way down, they suddenly told me that because I am on a term membership, they are unable to let me transfer my membership. (And I had already made arrangements with the person that will be taking over my membership) That w...
