But someone has forgotten to bring the decorations! So the children go around the aquarium in search of some. In this book, the family has returned to the S.E.A.
#Dream aquarium launch tour series
This is the latest in the best selling Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di series of picture books, and the first of four all-new titles to be done in collaboration with Resorts World Sentosa. We gathered under the magnificent shimmery display as author David Seow read to us from his new book: Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di & Xandy: Return to S.E.A. Do you know that it made it into the Guinness World Records for having the World’s Largest Acrylic Panel (as big as two rows of three double-decker buses stacked atop one another) when it was first constructed?Įveryone stopped to admire the spectacular sight - this is home to more than 40,000 marine animals of 120 species including the majestic manta ray and leopard shark. The children went “Wow!” and immediately started competing to see who could identify the most fishes.
Aquarium and one of the highlights of any visit here. I enjoyed a relaxed stroll behind them, admiring the watery wonders around us.įinally, we arrived at the Open Ocean Habitat. He and his new friends were running beside Celine and bombarding her with questions. Our leader of the high seas, Captain Celine, fed us information and gave pop quizzes to the children as she led us around the Aquarium. It was like a meditation app come to life. We had ample time to spend in front of each tank to observe the denizens of the sea as they swam gracefully in the water. Every group went a different way, so we could all have our own private time with the fish, if we wished. We were separated into smaller groups, each with a Captain who brought us on our own exclusive, personal tour of the Aquarium. What a treat! Let me say it again: No crowds! We could see the sea creatures without having to look over someone’s head or (for the kids) under someone’s armpit.Ĭheck out the tunnel at Shark Sea, look, no one! When the doors opened… surprise! We had descended into the depths of the ocean! And apart from the marine life, it was just us. Suddenly, lightning struck and then we were brought down, down, down… Frankly speaking, I had no idea what the show was about but you know what? It was real fun! Down… Beneath the Waves and Into the Ocean It was so realistic that I began to feel sea sick. No photo-taking is allowed here, so I can’t show you how excited my boy was and how much fun he had! Here, visitors ‘board’ a sailing ship and encounter a perilous storm… The bench we were on shook, we felt passing breezes on our faces and the cool wetness of a drizzle. We had a short introduction to the programme line up, were told the dos (follow your captain and take lots of pictures) and don’ts (no eating in the premises) and were then ushered to the 360º multimedia Typhoon Theatre. I felt the tension accumulated over the holiday ease. It was dimmer and quieter and the peaceful atmosphere, thanks to the lack of crowds, gave me an instant sense of relaxation. It was so different from our first visit there! With the masses gone, we “owned” the aquarium.
Aquarium at about 7:20pm, way after its official closing time. Entertaining and Nurturing? Check! We’re on!
Aquarium by author David Seow and illustrator Soefara Jafney. Aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa for the launch of the book Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di & Xandy: Return to S.E.A. How? The local book publisher invited us for a sleepover at S.E.A. So here I’d like to say a big “THANK YOU!” to Epigram Books for saving my sanity. As a mum, I must admit that the school holiday is a stressful time! Not only do I get to see my child for one whole day, 24-7, I also have to come up with entertaining and nurturing activities to occupy him for 30 days! Seriously, his holiday is my OT.
