Aranda Country Club – Singapore

Posted by Jay on March 30, 2014 None comments

During our Singapore Tour, we stayed at Aranda Country Club at Pasir Ris.  Getting around Singapore isn’t that hard, transportation is easy, pay attention to the buses you ride, they have numbers, also make sure you have exact coins for your fare as the bus diver will not give you change :).  There’s MRT and taxis too.

Our second day was spent at Aranda for a staff meeting, the kids were treated to the swimming, just at the back of Aranda, is the Pasir Ris Swimming Complex, too bad I wasn’t able to join, when the kids came back they had so many stories to share lol, no pics of them either.

The next day, we went to Universal Studios.. took tons of pics here, love every minute of the day spent here even though we were too tired from too much walking.  Lots of rides to try too, our best ride ever was the Transformers ride and the Egyptian ride.

We met Shrek and Fiona at Far Far Away land 😀

This place alone would take up your whole day, so many rides, and so many things to see.  We were all very tired after spending our day here but we all enjoyed it so much.  If I am coming back to Singapore, I’d definitely visit this place again :).

Sentosa – Singapore Tour 2014

Day 1 of our Singapore Tour was spent at Sentosa!
We went to where the (Merlion Park) Sea Lion Park is, for sightseeing and of course picture taking.  One place not to miss when visiting Singapore as this is their famous landmark, the pride of Singapore, the Merlion :).

Then we went to Sentosa, we were treated to the Luge and Kkyride !  Going up was okay the cable stopped at the middle which made me nervous as the seat was very wide open, I could fall you know, lol.  Going down was awesome with the Luge.

The Skyride transports you to the top of the luge tracks, where you jump onboard and ride to the bottom of the track. The kids had their second rides.

Luge and Skyride $15/person
They do have combos where you can save money, when you want certain number of rides but you have to fall in line again, family passes too.

After this ride we were treated to.. Songs of the Sea.  I have already read much about this and was very much interested with the lights show.  To be honest, the play was boring for all of us, the lights was great but not the play.  We felt like we just wasted our time here, we should’ve gone somewhere else like the zoo or the museum, still thankful though for the experience.
