Spinkley Floor That Takes You To Sentosa

Sentosa Beach

not the best view (unless you count the part with me in it), and the water is only semi-clear, but the water is not too cold and easy to float in, and the area of sentosa is developed into a nice resort.

Typical Little India

Singapore!
Exciting trip to Singapore. I,m glad you met up with your friends to show you everything in Singapore. It looks like you had a great time with all of the site-seeing, I can't believe that their underground shopping is 6 stories high....And all of the eating of different foods that you ate.(brave).......You will have to take grammom to china-town to get all of those ingredients....I,m sure she can whip you up something delicious!mom
