Contructions of Resorts World Sentosa, and Universal Studios Singapore began on 19 April 2008. After almost 2 years of construction, the park opened on 18 March 2010. The official grand opening of the park was held on 28 May 2011. So I have to make my point to this great place in the same year too.
The ticket price is S$72 (peak) and S$66 (non-peak). For full ticket pricing chart, please click on the link here: Ticket Chart
Together with me is my good friend, Wei Ling. I am carrying a big back pack which I planned to go back to Malaysia after the tour. They have a locker available near the main entrance of the Universal Studio. The duration available are 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours. So I have no choice but to put my backpack for a 24 hours time frame which cost me S$20.00.
Monster Rock. It is a Rock-N-Roll concerts by Universal Classic Monster such as Frankenstein, Phantom, Vampire, Mummy, Shewolf, Werewolf and etc. 3 stars.
One of the roadside decorations which you can take photo with.
Accelerator. Test your giddiness level by spinning all the way for 5 minutes. Not really my type. 2 stars.
This is the two type of coasters which are Cylon (Blue) and Human (Red). I prefer Cylon rather than Human. Bags and loose items such as keys, mobile phone and wallet are not allowed to bring along. They have a free 30 minutes locker for you. Unlike Sunway Lagoon which makes you pay for their locker. Please be advised to those who has a weak heart, do not try this. Cylon: 5 stars, Human: 4 stars.
Another coaster which is more fun than expected! Have you ever ride a coaster in the dark and the coaster can reverse?? Totally amazing experience for me. 5 stars.
Do not ever try to miss this one! Donkey Live! Yes, you are going to see a real donkey from Shrek here!!! I will not share any detail information to you because it is for you to find out. What I can share is I was really surprised with it. 5 stars
Shrek 4D Adventure. The 3D effect is way better than movies in the theater with using a simple 3D glasses. The 4D effect...hahaha...don't ever try to compare with the one at Genting and Langkawi which are just rocking the chairs. A lot of surprises for you to find out. You will definitely laugh all the way until the end of the show. 5 stars.
Madagascar: A Crate Adventure. Telling you a short story with Madagascar character, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria on a river ride. Photography are allowed here. 3 stars
Waterworld. Please do not ever try to skip this one or you will regret it. They only have two shows which are at 12.30pm and 4.30pm because the preparations for each show are very tedious. When you watch the show and you will know what I mean. Oh, ya...you may get wet here! Please ready your umbrella. Of course if you are sitting on blue and green bench. If you do not plan to get wet, find a red bench to sit on. Note: Please do not bring babies here. Not really advisable. 5 stars.
He got one discussing tongue. LOL. Another attraction is to find all Universal characters that is roaming around the park. Take picture with them. They are fun!
Darn...this Frankenstein is really a freak! I almost suffocated by him!
Catch live show by 3 pretty ladies by the road. They sings very well!
Check out a short 1 minute video on them!
Not in the photo, another attraction which is worth to go is the Lights, Camera, Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg. 5 stars for me.
We have two well known theme park and have been established for a long time which are Genting Theme Park and Sunway Lagoon. Genting Theme Park is created with the purpose of having a theme park on a mountain in Malaysia. They do not have the intention of making visitor to feel amazed and entertained with their effort when leaving the place like what Universal Studio does. Luckily they managed to rope in Universal Studio together to win the bid at Sentosa. Otherwise if they open their own theme park and I believe there will be no difference than the one on the mountain.
Sunway Lagoon is another failure which is their entrance fee already costing a bomb but when you enter the park, you need to pay more to play their certain attractions such as bungee jump, go-kart, surfing and etc. This is really very disappointing when you know you have to pay again after the entrance fee. There is only one attraction at Universal Studio that has to pay which is Amber Rock Climb.
As for the conclusion, you will leave Universal Studio with a big smile because you definitely can see and feel every single effort they have put in order to make your day.

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

Have you ever stay in a Durian Farm before? No? At Bao Sheng Durian Farm, you can do it! This 6.7 acres durian farm has been established in Balik Pulau since 1959. It really took them full 60 years to get the fruit of their hard work. Their villa is well equipped with air-con, hot shower and LCD TV with hundreds of Blu-Ray quality movies in it! They have existing queen size or king size bed and extra bed can be requested. To get close and personal with the King of Fruit...the accommodation charges will be Deluxe Villa is charged at RM280/night and standard villa will cost you RM180/night. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL. Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government tax of 6%. Seriou
After taking the cable car from Harbourfront to Sentosa Island, Skyline Luge is what you will see when you reach there at Imbiah Lookout. Riding this can get you faster to the Siloso Beach and extremely exciting too! The price is as above and as you can see there is an express queue charges if you got bored of queuing. Luge is a very light sled where over here it is functioned by wheels instead of skate. It slides down the hill without using engines to run it. They have two types of trails which are Dragon Trail and Jungle Trail. Choose either one you prefer but if you choose more than 1 ride, you should try both! Luge is the most dangerous sports in the Winter Olympics. So it is the same goes to this. You must adhere to their warnings and instructions at all times to avoid any unwanted accidents happen which will spoiled your entire day. The first thing to do is to get the right size of helmet. Then, you listen to the instruction on how to control the luge. Do not a
It’s known as the Ha Long Bay of the land. About 150 kilometers from the famous Vietnamese bay where hundreds of islands form a natural wonder is another equally as impressive landscape. This one, known as Trang An, is nowhere near the coast, though. The mountains are connected by rice paddies, not water. You can cycle to them, not sail. And – best of all – they are not full of foreign tourists. Such is the joy of a Trang An boat tour. Trang An Heritage Complex is a part of Ninh Binh province, it is about 100km away from Hanoi city center. If Halong holds an impressive and magnificent beauty, Trang An will be its best rival. Though smaller in size, you will be lost in a wonderland with the karst mountains, lush green forests, sparkling and crystal-clear river and the endless rice field running to the horizon. In general, the cost of entrance fees & boat trip of three routes is the same ( 200.000vnd/ person) on a shared- rowing boat (maximum 4 people/ 1 boat). You can ch
This is my first time dining at Sentul and glad to know this great Chinese restaurant which is known as Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong. This is the crowd at 6.00pm on Sunday. Crazy right? Let you see from another angle. They just own one shop lot but seems like owning an extra 4 parking space but still they are people standing and waiting for their seat including me! Curry Fish Head @RM25.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature. You can choose a normal fish meat or a fish head like this. The curry is not really spicy at all. It contains more coconut milk taste than the curry itself. The fragrance of the curry and the coconut milk work perfectly. I can smell it before it is served. The fish heads are soft, tender, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to everyone to try.

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC. Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds. I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target to your prefer
It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

Driving in Singapore is really a pain especially the traffic congestion, parking hunting and speed cameras alert which is seems like everywhere. As for parking, weekdays parking is like vampire sucking all your money out from your wallet when the clock keeps ticking. Not just parking but their ERP toll is sucking the money out of your Autopass card too. However, I have realized that the best days to travel to Singapore is on weekends and especially on Sunday. ERP toll is free on Sundays. Parking rate are cheaper on Sundays and there are places are free parking too. Not much cars and peoples on the street on Sundays. Sunday is just perfect day at Singapore! Of course, if you plan to eat their buffets, Sunday will be not a suitable day as it will be super expensive. Anyway, today I just want to share one of the tourist attraction in Singapore which is the Merlion Park. I parked at Fullerton Hotel which has ample of parking spaces and it is only S$5.00/entry. The Fullerton Hotel is j
Hozugawa River Cruises (保津川下り, Hozugawa Kudari) are sightseeing boat rides down the Hozugawa River from Kameoka to Arashiyama. The cruises utilize traditional style, flat bottomed boats piloted by boatmen who guide the craft with oars and bamboo poles. The boats take about two hours to leisurely make their way down the river and are a relaxing way to see the natural scenery of the largely undeveloped ravine. The river cruises are often combined with a ride on the Sagano Scenic Railway. The river originates in the central part of Tanba Mountain range, then, it flows around through the mountains from Sonobe to Kameoka City. Then, it runs into the Hozu-kyo Ravine and reaches world famous Arashiyama. It then merges to Kamo-gawa River, and to Yodo-gawa River. The river from Kameoka to Saga-Arashiyama, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, is called the Hozu-gawa River, famous for its beautiful ravine and boat ride. 4,100 yen (adults) and 2,700 yen (kids 4-12).
