I had a ball of a time today. Pushy fed me well, tookme out, and put on the Les Miserables soundtrack for me during the car ride.
I went to an old aquarium with Pushy today. Underwater World was very nostalgic. Being a late 20th century kid in Singapore I grew up knowing Underwater World as Singapore's first oceanarium launched in 1991. I prefer to call it aquarium, which sounds like an easier word to me.
The place seemed much larger when I was a kid. I seemed to be able to spend my entire day there looking at the displays. Now being much bigger I managed to cover all displays within 2 hours. I remember participating in a drawing competition organised by the aquarium during those years. I spent hours poring over my drawing pad but didn't win anything.
Aquariums fascinate me. Having the fishies swimming in their displays made them seem like they were suspended in mid-air, like in flight. I am intrigued by all the shapes and colours, the physique and physics of how they feed and survive. Fascinating.
Poppadum said that the item most worthy to watch was the dolphin show at Dolphin Lagoon. A ticket to Underwater World includes entry to Dolphin Lagoon for the 3pm, 4pm and 5pm daily dolphin shows. He was spot on. I became a little girl when I saw the pink dolphins and seals swirling about and doing tricks. The enthusiastic seals reminded me of excited canines. Much adorable, these creatures!
Nonetheless there are some other really cool stuff to play and watch. The petting reef gives you access to touch and hold little stingrays, sharks and starfish, and you can also buy fish feed to have the opportunity to hand feed these little creatures. The mystical and magical tank although had a tacky name, was very awesome to play with because there is an opening to the tank through which you can stick your hand in to feed the fish. The physics is Faschinate.
Going to the Underwater World on a weekend meant it had to be overflowing with tourists. Having Singapore weather meant they would be sweaty and smelly from exploring the Sentosa island. But I proudly say I enjoyed myself very much despite the crowds and B.O.s. And I liked it better than S.E.A. on the other side of the island.
love.
