SDS 3.8 – I Believe I Can Fly

In this episode, the crew and I went to Sentosa! Wooooh! Sarah Does… Sentosa? Well, it’s still Singapore. This time I wanted to try out the new iFly Singapore. It is the first building or the most obvious building you’ll see if you took the Sentosa tram and stopped at the Beach Station.

In a design sense, the website is pretty rubbish cause it’s made of FLASH! That means you can’t check the website out on your iphones/ipads or if you have a slow connection. I hope they will eventually redesign it because it IS a hassle to get information to book a slot from there.

SDS 3.4 – Rolling in the Deep

It had rained earlier in the day but it had stopped around noon. The crew and I were to meet at Velocity! The mall at Novena for the Velocity Urban Attack challenge. Well, they weren’t doing it but I was! Since I was early, I went up and checked out the course from the upper floors of the mall, hence the raindrops on the window.

SDS 3.2 – C’mon N’ Ride It

The other time we went on the tracks, this time we went to one of their stations! Tanjong Pagar Railway Station is going to close on 1st July and then it’ll be up for some renovations or something like that. We’re not sure but it’s to be at least kept the way it is as a historical place. Well, the crew didn’t get to go on the guided tours by the heritage board but we did research on our own and took pictures on our own time!

I wonder if they’re going to renovate the station, will they keep the clock as it is? Frozen in time? It was said to be that it stopped because it was struck by lightning but I’m not sure how accurate that fact is. Kind of like Back to the Future eh?

SDS 3.1 – Tomorrow Never Knows

And we’re back for a new season of Sarah Does Singapore! Hurraaaaaay! Since we’re getting back into the groove of things and there are new readers and stuff, this episode is our re-intro episode! Wooooo.

Firstly, if anyone wants to get into the mailing list, you just email with the subject title “SDS mailing list” to  sarah (at) seriouslysarah.com to get on it. This time however, the emails are sent with suggestions of adventures instead of exact dates for some of them and alternate routes for people. The Adventure Crew however will be somewhere on one of the adventures just not with a specific timing in the emails, you usually can ask via email or twitter to know though.

The Ultimate MegaZip Adventure Park Hijinks

This is the ultimate MegaZip Adventure post since if you’ve remembered, I went there before it was officially opened and then just a bit after when it was open but still with troubleshooting (since you couldn’t see in that post back then, they were still fixing up the place), NOW it is finally completed and smooth sailing! For one thing, there are SIGNS! HUZZAH! No more searching for the weird looking lion or wondering if you got to a wrong turn. If you’re taking the tram or express train from Vivocity, drop at Imbiah station!

Ok, before I get to the main bulk of the post including VERY interesting details about the park and pricing, you can check my video out above to see what happens in my summary video! If you don’t want to read the details, just watch the video and skip to bottom with the red text to check the pricing! This time I got invited to check it out by 24Seven and since a LOT of people do ask me about the MegaZip, I said yes.

This is going to be the Ultimate post on it.

Beware of Tall Grass

There was a hike proposed of @Hai_Ren on twitter to check out The Green Corridor which is pretty much a railroad track of sorts for the weekend and I signed up along with 2 of the crew. The cast of this episode includes @Hai_Ren as the group organizer, @deafknee, @wilfredphua, @irukafishy, Raven Silvers and Avariel. The weather was sunny as we went off in the morning!

Apparently the Nature Society of Singapore was going on a hike too but they would be from another side of the tracks, heh.

From the past to the future!

It started at Raffles Hotel. Well, the group was to meet up with the I Heart Museums people at the bus stop nearby first! The crew and I were to go on a Journey Through Time – A Fantasy Tour by the National Heritage Board. FYI, the next trip is on March 12 and 13! For those interested in it, you can find out more and email/call them here. Make sure you call or email them before 7th March for it!

OK, the intro to this whole thing, I saw the tour tickets being a prize on Yesterday.sg and then looked at the actual website for this tour and went all, “Heck it. I don’t want to have a chance to win tickets, I so totally want to be on this!”.

Thus the crew signed up for it too because the summary was this:

Join characters Julia and Meng, magically transported from 1914, as they visit our iconic National Monuments and give first-hand accounts of olden day Singapore. The tour, which takes participants to Raffles Hotel, St. Andrew’s Cathedral and the Armenian Church, will focus on the contributions of the Armenian community in Singapore as well as other prominent historical figures. Additional tours will be held on 12 and 13 March as part of Illuminate 175, a special event celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Armenian Church, the oldest church in Singapore. Suitable for children 10 years and above.

Oh heck yes.

In which we did it for SCIENCE!

CSI: The Experience Singapore will end on the 20th February 2011 at the Science Centre thus we decided to bust in there like investigators and the Nancy Drews were are! Also, for an adult it costs $20 but if you did a package where you get to go to the main Science Centre, it’s $21. I urge you to buy that one. MEANWHILE, we paid $16.80 each! HAH! There’s discounts if you’re a Passion Card member AND if you are a Starhub mobile subscriber.

So no pictures allowed in the main area but before that, you can have a picture taken with your friends. It’s $15 a piece and $20 for 2 if I remember right. I remembered there were six of us and we paid just $10 each anyway cause it looked really good as if you were a cast member of the CSI series. Meanwhile, the area is quite small and HAH! We managed to finish all three cases and ONE bonus one by noon before the crowd came in.

Case 4 is based on a real crime scene in Singapore. You solve it on your own to submit your answers online. Your ticket is your agent number so don’t lose your ticket if you want to join the competition for case 4!

Also if you’ve ever played Phoenix Wright on the NDS, it’s like that. Only in real life. Might I add, the place is really small? Cool but small.
