A visit to Sentosa over the weekend has told me that the island is still as popular as ever, judging by the hordes of tourists and Singaporeans alike present when I went there with my parents over the weekend. We went after hearing of a "new" attraction - The skyride and luge, which we had mysteriously failed to hear of until then.
We left the house fairly late – 3 in the afternoon – to find that it is a supremely bad idea to drive to Sentosa on a weekend, due to the fact that it will take you at least an hour to get through the gate, with Sentosa becoming a tourist attraction known about worldwide and all. In any case, we just toured Sentosa via a minibus, stopping at various destinations.
Our first destination was a bird aviary. Seeing the many colourful parrots and lorikeets being fed was an eye opening experience, as it has shown me that birds are as “uncivilized” as cavemen – When they eat, it is as though relenting for one second will result in going hungry until the next feeding session. Which is rather true, judging by the speed at which they eat. I have also learnt that parrots are fond of citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit.
I certainly hope that as Victorians, we will not become as ill-mannered as the parrots mentioned above. (Continued in next post)
