Family Visit to Sentosa on 7 September 2008

Joel & Joshua waiting for train to Sentosa Island.

Joel kept wanting to into the Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom, not because they enjoyed looking at butterflies or insects, but they SAW the dinosaurs wallpaper at the entrance to the park!!






Joshua posed infront of the dinosaurs wallpaper.

Stick insect... and it is supposed to be a male. He is only about 3 weeks old. By the 3rd month, he will be full grown to about maybe double the length with wings. The keeper is kind enough to introduce and educate us on the breed of insect, their life span, etc. He also told us that usually the male insect has shorter life span because they are the ones who will fly about looking for food as well as looking for mates... while the female insect will stay put at their favourite plant and feed on it.

The 'stick' is a male stick insect and the yellow one female. The female one will change its color according to the color of the plant she attaches to, thus making herself a less prominent prey than the male insect.







wow... Look! How brave Joshua is! He is having the 3 weeks old baby scorpion on his left arm.

And as usual, Joel saw his brother having the baby scorpion, he too, allow the baby scorpion to rest on his left arm.

Taking Sentosa Island Bus round the island to the next attractions spot.









Joshua with Oscar, Songs of the Sea

Joel took picture with Oscar at Songs of the Sea







We have planned to watch Songs of the Sea but they are only starting earliest at 7.40pm. The boys were too tired to last from morning till then. So we decided to visit them again during our next visit.
