My South East Asia Adventure Part 4

The next day after I arrived in Singapore, I took a monorail over to the famous Sentosa Island. The island itself seems like its entirely man-made, with american theme park influence styles featured in all its buildings. I went to take a selfie in front of the Universal ball sculpture before turning my back from the Universal Studio and headed towards the marine life park next to it.

If you are a tourist who can't seem to stand the tropical heat (sweatiness and hotness at the same time), then I would suggest you to choose the marine life park over the Universal Studio as Universal Studio is pretty much an outdoor type of theme park. The marine life park has got heaps of marine species and one thing that fascinates me the most is still the jellyfish, I just love the beautiful and flowing tentacles that just follow the current. It is absolutely calming and I can just sit back and watch it swim all day. Also, the main feature of the marine life park itself it definitely the theatre space in which is cladded with large glass with three storey high looking over the aquarium (the only way to describe it is to related it back to the Jaws 2 movie where the shark hits the marine life park). Everyone just sit there and enjoy looking at the fish swims back and forth. While for me, I manage to find a best spot to charge my phone at the same time while daydreaming away.

Sharks are everywhere in this tank! Reminds me of the scene in Jaws 2.
