Cable Car and Casino

Here in Singapore there are so many things to do to get entertained. You can spend a whole day just exploring the islang of Sentosa ... you can also make a trip to Orchard and go shopping ... you can also find amusement places offering water sports and activities in the East Coast or you can simply experience the Cable Car.

After 11 months of staying here in SG I've mustered the courage to get on the Cable Car and explore the city from the top. It was not as bad as I thought it would be ... considering I'm utterly scared of heights and can readily get nauseated in high altitudes. I took the trip with Thomas and Bianca. And Bianca even promised to hold my hand when we get in the car. And true enough she not only held my hand but she also cheered words of comfort and encouragement ... now that's what I call raising your parents! hahahahahhahaha!

When we were up there, we got to see how huge the Casino project is in Sentosa. Locals here are half half on the idea of introducing gambling in this magnitude. Yes they have been very much exposed to betting ... with horses, with the lotto ... but they say the Casino is for sure in a different level ... the stakes are higher. Apart from giving jobs to locals and to other nationalities from neighboring countries as well as fostering growth in tourism, the skeptics are still not convinced that this enterprise is good for the country. But it is happening ... so let's just see how all these effects unfold to the society and to the international scene.
