Resorts World Sentosa Visit

I visited Resorts World Sentosa on Friday Night. There was a promotion, so, for two dollars, you could enter and look around. However, only some sections would be opened for public view, and there would be no rides. Also, it was only open from 7pm to 10 pm.

However, it was still very fun, as we were still able to see some of the attractions. After entering, we went to eat dinner,as it was already 7.30 and we had not eaten. We ate at the "Hollywood China Bistro". It seemed more of a fusion restaurant than a proper Chinese Restaurant. For example, the tea cups were very wide at the top and were probably about twice the size of a normal tea cup. In fact, judging by the name and the restaurant, it seemed more like a Chinese Restaurant you might find in America. It was somehow less authentic than other upmarket Chinese restaurants. However, it was still quite an enjoyable meal.

After dinner, we decided to head to "New York", before moving on to "Madagascar". It was just as well, as "Madagascar" was off limits. In "New York", we walked around. It seemed as if we were really in New York. Even the minor details were there. For example, on the side of a building, there was a fire escape, remiscient to those in sitcoms like "Friends". The rubbish bins were also green, and labelled "Please help keep New York City Clean".

Also, we got to see the Battlestar Galactica, although we only got a glance from New York City.

All in All, it was a very pleasant experience.

Resort World Sentosa - Visit

Actually, this is kinda old news... but my blog was not being updated for awhile because I was very busy. However, the Star Awards 2010, which will be partially held at Resorts World Sentosa reminded me about my visit to RWS shortly ago. My Parents had went to RWS before, and they liked it a lot. Thus, they decided to bring me on the weekend.

However, the morning was used for Homework, so we only had the night to explore the area. My parents made a reservation at Chilli's and then we left for RWS. The first thing that will strike you is the fact that the area is huge. Even the carpark is gigantic. A good way to explain it is that you could throw 1000 people in, and they could walk around and probably not see each other at all. After leaving the carpark, the next time you would see is The Globe (Apart from the REALLY long and high escalator). I am referring to the Globe which is Universal Studio's symbol. It is huge, and you can see mist around it from mist spraying nozzles.

After that, we headed to Chilli's, where about 6 people were in front of us. So we decided to explore more. We saw the Resorts World Gift Shop, A popcorn shop (I have never seen so many types of popcorn), and a Chocolate hershey's shop. The Hershey's Shop had Giant Plushy Hershey Kisses, Giant Kisses Coin Banks, Chocolate Sauce, Chocolate bars, and every other Chocolate related item you can think of. There were even Singing Chocolate dishes!!

Then, we headed back to Chilli's, where they were still 4 people in front of us. This time, we gave up and decided to go somewhere else to eat. We found a western Restaurant serving Burgers, etc, where we ate. After that, we headed back to Chilli's, just to find out what happened (They were meant to call us when the seat was available). In the end, the personnel there said that they called us already, although we didn't receive their call. Anyway, we then went to look at other shops and other attractions.

We had a look at the hotels around RWS, and some of the shops. We also stood outside the Casino. We also saw another RWS gift shop. It had all sorts of things, including umbrellas, golf balls, Chocolate poker cards (To eat???) and even a set of bejeweled boxes.

Finally, before we left, we heard that they was going to be a pyrotechnics show. It was really fascinating to see the two performers spinning and twirling (sticks on) fire. They had various implements, including fans(of the type that open up), Long Sticks, etc. They would take turns and while one performer performed, another would prepare another implement before coming to perform, while the other performer prepared another implement. There was even one point where one of the performers created many sparks from an implement.

At the end of the performance, the audience gave the performers a standing ovation.
