ANTRAVEL - Ep. 01 - Singapore Day 04

Alexander : Euh, I think I don’t want to have breakfast here…
Eli : Me too…
Kevin : Em, how if we have breakfast at Lucky Plaza? There are also some Indonesian cuisines…
Alexander : Good idea! Let’s go!

They have breakfast at Lucky Plaza… they also find an Indonesian cuisine restaurant at there…

Kevin : Yeah, so, what place we’ll get today?
Eli : Let’s check! We are going to go to SENTOSA ISLAND! Tonight we’ll get night safari!
Alexander : WOW! What we gonna ride?
Eli : I think… taxi?
Kevin : Hey! Let’s queue right there!



Driver : Hi, where will you go?
Kevin : Hi, em..Sentosa Island
Driver : Okay…



Alexander : Em.. Sir, what language Singaporean use for daily speaking?
Driver : About 70% is Chinese so, Mandarin. But we also speak in Malay and Tamil. We also have Singlish
Kevin : What Singlish?
Eli : Is that Singapore English?
Driver : Yeah…
Alexander : Wow, em.. Is that the language that…em…english but sometimes you’ll hear as Chinese?

Driver : haha, right. Don’t play play lah, don’t do that lah~
Eli : Aiyah, cannot wait any more, must go oreddy
Alexander : Euh…so interesting! Hahha…

SINGLISH
Singlish, sometimes known in the academic community as Singapore Colloquial English, is an English-based creole language spoken in Singapore. According to the 2000 census, 71% of Singaporeans are literate in the English language, although there is no way to know who among these are Singlish speakers. Singlish is commonly regarded with low prestige in Singapore. For this reason, more basilectal forms of Singlish are not generally used in formal communication.
The vocabulary of Singlish consists of words originating from English, Malay, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Tamil, Bengali, Punjabi and to a lesser extent various other European, Indic and Sinitic languages, while Singlish syntax resembles southern varieties of Chinese.[citation needed] Also, elements of American and Australian slang have come through from imported television series and films.[citation needed] In the last two decades, an increasing amount of Mandarin words have found their way into Singlish because Mandarin Chinese is taught to most Singaporean Chinese students in school. Japanese words are becoming more common as young Singaporeans become exposed to Japanese culture, particularly through Anime. (Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlish)

THE SONGS OF THE SEA
Songs of the Sea, pics: google
As the 25 year old Musical Fountain ceased operations in March 2006 to make way for the development of Resorts World Sentosa, a new musical fountain was introduced in view of the closure of Magical Sentosa.
The new musical fountain was built at Siloso Beach on Sentosa Island, near Beach Station. The Songs of the Sea is a multi-million dollar sea spectacular that showcases a dazzling display of pyrotechnics, lasers, water jets, flames, computer animation, captivating music and performance by a 'live' cast.
Construction work on the Songs of the Sea began in January 2006, and completed in February 2007. The show made its debut in March 2007. In the first year of its operation between 27 March 2007 and 31 December 2007, Songs of the Sea was watched by 991,723 guests. This proves the show to be a success and favorable among guests (Taken from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_the_Sea)

Night Safari, the world’s first wildlife park for nocturnal animals is an nine-time winner of the Best Visitor Attraction Experience, awarded by Singapore Tourism Board. This internationally acclaimed leisure attraction embodies innovation and creativity in products and services, and service quality, thus attracting more than 1.1 million visitors yearly. Over 1,000 animals from 115 species (of which almost 30% are threatened) inhabit the 40-hectare park.
In line with its mission to promote biodiversity, the park focuses on the captive breeding of threatened species. Over the years, it has bred Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, fishing cats, red dholes, anoas, markhors, bantengs, Malayan tapirs and Asian lions, among other endangered species. A visitor’s experience at Night Safari is not limited to animals but extends to experiential dining segments with the park’s award winning Gourmet Safari Experience, where visitors dine onboard a tram traversing the eight geographical zones. The park can be explored either on foot via three walking trails, or by tram. Night Safari is part of Wildlife Reserves Singapore and is a designated wildlife rescue centre by the governing authority (Taken from : http://www.nightsafari.com.sg/l2_t1.aspx?l1=1&l2=1&langid=1)
