A fishy weekend.



I love weekends. Just because I get to spend time with you. 

So, everyone knew about the new Marine Life Park at Resort World Sentosa but me? HEH. I'm that kind of person who doesn't really pay attention to world news and current affairs accept those that they post on Facebook or Stomp or just mainly gossips. I know, that's not good at all. I should start reading newspapers and I shall start today. i promise.

And because I was acting like all bimbo not knowing the new Marine Life Park , so I was excited when we decided to have a visit. I woke up slightly earlier from usual and pack my backpack. ya. backpack. MUAHAHA. which girl will carry a backpack like me to these attractions ?? most of them would be carrying either a Kate Spade or a casual branded tote. I just feel like I had to carry a backpack., just like those days when your dad brings the whole family to the zoo and you pack your favourite sandwiches and snacks and orange cordial in water bottles and candies! 



Yup, yet another outdated post. So sorry i've not been actively blogging.. I just don't have the time. I shouldn't use that as an excuse :(

and Siying came along as well.. At least i'm not the only girl and I have a companion! We had brunch at Astons because everywhere was so packed! Ended up here but Astons serve really good and affordable meals.


 we came early and we even need to queue to get in:(. Here's the entrance of Marine Life Park - S.E.A Aquarium is located at Maritime Experimental Museum (MEM). Let's take a walk inside!


While the guys get in the queue I went around taking pictures. This place is huge and it's really beautiful and staffs were really friendly and smiley.




The S.E.A Aquarium begins with a Shipwreck habitat which links the Typhoon Theater storyline.

 I was quite surprised when I looked up.  I was able to see the roof of the Aquarium.





It was a total and complete build in pathway for guests in the aquarium. It is an amazing feeling to be surrounded by fishes all around you be it from top , bottom and side to side. There are floor aquariums and lens aquariumsThere's a zone that break away from the aquarium and allow for guests to touch some of the fishes like sea stars or sea cucumbers. Staffs were extremely friendly. I didn't manage to capture the Discovery Touch Pool as i was busy questioning the staff about the displayed fishes!


Brought my camera along with me to explore on some fish photography technique. ugh. never easy. Extremely hard to focus and the aquarium makes it harder to capture too.


This is one of my favorite so far. I had a total of 372 pictures taken but most of them are blurry or too dark. I was told that most of the coral displayed are actually fake :( some say yes some say no. Well, we have a marine tank at home and it is extremely hard to even maintain just a one coral for instance. Imagine they have such a huge tank at the aquarium. It is hard to focus on the pH level and all the six major factor that helps in the growth of corals such as water temperature and salinity, depth,light,sedimentation and emergence into air. I wonder how big their marine chiller is!



I love corals by the way. I love corals more than fishes, but the boy somehow loves fishes more than corals. It takes alot of time and effort to take good care just one coral. and I left just one bubble coral in my tank:( . 


JELLY FISHYYYYYYYYYY!




 Too many pictures of the Aquarium that I didn't post up. I just feel that you have to be there to see and experience it instead of just admiring the marine nature through pictures. Do not hesitate to visit the Marine Life Park located at resort World Sentosa. I visited at in December and some of the aquariums look barren, I assume some of the tanks are still incomplete. A typical visit might take you approximately about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. If you are into photography and love taking pictures of fishes, you might take a longer time. Lighting somehow can be improve in some areas. I find it too dark  in some spots.

Despite all the flaws, S.E.A aquarium is a must-see for people who have interest in marine life. The entire place is nicely design with educational experience.
