Sentosa Island half day trip

Still in the mist of job hunting, and waiting for reply from all the company that i've sent.
*please hire me..... * 
Before starting the hectic working life, i took few days off to Johor with my Ex-coursemate. During this short trip, we manage to visit Singapore for half day (that's because we woke up so so late, we were all playing games on hp the previous night... *Generation Y*)

We dint really did much over there, just try out the new Skyline Luge Sentosa and walk around the island. 
Once is never enough
This is how the adventure looks like. Because we are not allowed to take picture on the ride, so i have to copy from the Sentosa Island attraction page 
Picture is from Sentosa.com.sg 
The first part of the adventure is taking the skyline (which is similar to chair lift we took for skiing) up a hill. You can see the view around the coast and the skyscraper while riding up. 

Front View. you will also notice the skyline carrying the Luge 

Side view.

Back View.
The second part of the adventure is of course THE LUGE!!
The Luge is a fun-filled gravity thrill ride with a unique breaking and steering system. It's safe for all ages. All riders are required to wear helmet, and the staff will explain how the Luge works. 
If you are not the adventurous type, u can choose to take the skyline back to the bottom. (I think the ticket will be cheaper)
We bought the 3rides ticket (3xSkyline + 3xLuge) at S$26 which is reasonable. *This is the normal price. *

This is a fairly new experience for me and my friends. We had so much fun and try to race each other (we are young people ma.. but watch out for kids and slow riders around)

After the Skyline and Luge adventure, we take the tram to tour around the island. The beach is so beautiful and relaxing. So we took a lot of picture (of the beach)







Do you see the Merlion??

The Sea View
Before i forget, i have to mention that i was standing on the Southernmost point of Continental Asia! Excited~
The Southernmost point of Continental Asia
This summarise my escape to Singapore (Sentosa Island). We were on vacation mood, not rushing for anything. Just stroll around the island enjoying the breeze. 

I feel that, as we aged, we are more keen towards relaxing vacation. I prefer backpack or self-planned vacation instead of joining and tour agency. With my self-planned itinerary, i can take my own time walking around places i love, eat the street food and take my sweet time to shop. It's ok if i miss out some "must visit places" because i'm satisfied.
