I woke up and had a few hours to play with Mai - Christoff's baby! She is incredibly precious!! More photos another time... I didn't start taking photos for a while, I was so wrapped up in playing with her.
Post-baby time, Shawn and I headed back to Sentosa this morning - we discussed doing all sorts of things... a multi-day pass, a multi-attraction pass... 2 for 1 specials, blah blah - you all know how I love a coupon!
We finally settled on Universal Studios Singapore. Of course, it was decked out for Chinese New Year - even the minions got to celebrate! There weren't many people in the park - we got to ride first car on many of the rides, through the lines so quickly.
On the Mummy Ride, there were a set of siblings running ahead of us, but occasionally turning back. I started out annoyed thinking, man, whose kids are these?? But ended up asking the little girl if she was okay & asking where her parents were... she said they were outside, they didn't want to ride the ride so she was meant to join her brother. She was so scared because the cave like walls didn't provide much light or direction. I asked if she wanted to walk with us - she shouted "yes!" and immediately grabbed my hand to walk along side. She was a precious little thing, I told Shawn we adopted some children and they joined us on the ride, too. I wish now that I had broken my rule against souvenir photos, because the photo of our car was priceless... I was looking bug-eyed and scared, she was gripping my hand with all of her might with her head buried into my arm and her brother was doing the same on her other side... Shawn was fixing his watch as though nothing was happening (he'd ridden the ride before in Florida - cheater). [You're right, SB, my life is like an odd SitCom - the strangest things happen to me!]
We enjoyed Universal - the decorations, rides and shows, and photographing the characters, especially Shawn!! He was sad the BattleStar Galactica Coaster was closed, but wanted to take a photo as a Cylon, anyway. We also passed by the TRex in Jurassic Park, I told Shawn "go stick your head in its mouth" - you see what I get for calling him a butthead!! :)
When we were finished in the park, we saw another Merlion, borrowed some wifi from Starbucks to formulate a plan and headed back to Chinatown. This time just for dinner (a cute Caribbean spot - had lovely fish) and dessert (at a traditional dessert place). We had terrific shaved ice - mine was like halo halo, minus the flan, ube and condensed milk. Delish!
