Images of Singapore & Madame Tussauds Singapore - Sentosa Island

ABBEY: What Singapore did with Madame Tussauds gallery is that they bundled it with Images of Singapore. I don't know if the guests can have the option to directly go to Wax Museum or not but it would be better to go to Images of Singapore first. It is 40-minute live show that presents Singapore's beginning and future plans. Then you will be riding a boat and see Singapore icons like The Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands, and F1 Grand Prix.

Political figures will greet you at the first stop on the museum. It includes US President Barack Obama, Mao Zhe Dhong, Queen Elizabeth, Singapore's own Lee Kwan Yew and Kwa Geok Choo, PM Lee, and Singapore First President Yusof bin Ishak.
Next are the sports superstars like Yao Ming, David Beckham, and Tiger Woods. 

I also had a pose with local artist Gurmit Singh. Then our Indian friends celebrating Deepavali were ecstatic in taking their snaps together with some of the Bollywood stars: Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, and Hrithik Roshan.
The wax figures of international singers are also displayed. Beyonce, King of Pop Michael Jackson, King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley, The ABBA, Madonna and Taylor Swift.
After Bollywood comes Hollywood. The Terminator, Jackie Chan, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kiddman were among them. Even though the museum is smaller than in Hongkong I still enjoyed my visit.








WILL: We bought the ticket for both.

Images of Singapore is a interactive place that you will learn and participate from the past and present of Singapore. An informative and good place to know how this Little Red Dot starts their journey from freedom to its present being. 

We alighted from the boat ride and from that I know that we will be entering the famous wax museum. 

This is the second Madam Tussauds we visited. First is at Hong Kong. So what we love in here? Of course we want to see the figure of Lee Kwan Yew and Madam Kwa Geok Choo, PM Lee, and haaay...Taylor Swift (my husband's greatest crush). 

All my siblings had fun specially they know that they can touch and even kiss the wax figures of the celebrities they really like. 

See some of the photos. They really enjoyed being close to them right? Haha!

007 Spectre (2015 Film)

ABBEY:  When I saw the trailer to the newest sequel on Bond franchise, I find it interesting. From the time Daniel Craig became Agent 007 the story revolved on Bond's personal life. Maybe there are just too many instances where the villains' plans were thwarted by him so they are getting their revenge. 

As usual the gadgets being used as agents are cool as well as the cars. And the actions and the explosions on Spectre leveled-up compared with the previous ones. That's why they bagged a Guinness World Record. 

Still I'm not over the fact the the agent fell in love and being saved by his girls multiple times. Not a normal Bond thing. :)



WILL:  This is one of the most awaited film of the year. Ahm, actually all the 007 movies. Haha. 

James Bond, a well trained bullet proof spy. Haha. Action is non stop. Stunts are astoundingly done. This is why people at any age range loves this series of movie. 

Story: Predictable. Effects: Splendid. You entertained me and my siblings Bond!

Paik's Bibim (Bibimbap) - VivoCity Singapore

ABBEY: We went to Paiik's Bibim in Vivo City to have dinner. It is a little shop that serves Korean dish bibimbap. 

I got their recommended item: Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap for 8.50SGD. It came in a big bowl and on the wall a sign shows how to eat it; very simple, just mix it all and enjoy it. It was sweet and delicious. From time to time I'm putting chili paste to make it hot and spicy. 

They only accept cash and NETS.





WILL: For almost 5 years of marriage we do not forget to unwind and have a dinner date. We frequently explore on food. Why not? Singapore has lot to offer. 

That night we went for Korean cuisine. Paiik's bibimbap is a fast food themed dining site. I went for Teriyaki Chicken Bibimbap ($8.50). It is flavourful. Any person that do not want spicy but like to try Korean's Bibimbap, this is the right place for them.
