A trip to Madame Tussauds
1st August 2015
Hoola there, I have just updated a blog post regarding about my Colleague's farewell & I thought that why not start a new page for this trip to Madame Tussuads.
1st of August, a pretty much good start of a month to start off with. Was initially taken up a volunteer role for BAKING CUPCAKES for a cause but in the end I didn't go because of the systematic order that I have to follow. I was excited to participate at first but after having to attend one briefing, I realised that this is not the role that I want to participate and nevertheless having to stay at only one station bored me so I gave up this chance and spent the rest of the day with my Boyfriend ( I guess I made the right choice).
Our date today was at Madame Tussuads. I got their tickets from carousell which costs me $20 each which includes Images of Singapore, a boat ride and Madame Tussuads wax museum. Its all in one package and the price offered was reasonable. I heard the original price was $36.
Food to energise us! We had our lunch at Seah Im Hawker centre where I love to pack my dinner from when I was working at Candy Empire & after so long, this sweet & chocolate selling company is still around and have opened a few more outlets at town area.
Seah Im hawker centre sells alot Muslim food and one wouldn't escape from their Fried Chicken rice. and that was what Boyfriend ordered. We love the crispy crisp and we can add on the amount of crisp on our own.

The weather was good to walk so we began our journey walking from Vivo City to Sentosa through the broadwalk way afterwhich we hopped on to the monorail to bring us over to imbiah station. If you want to explore around, why not venture around on foot.
Our first station was Images of Singapore. What you can find at Images of Singapore?
Images of Singapore LIVE is a journey that uncovers the nation’s extraordinary history - from humble fishing village to 21st century powerhouse.

15 immersive, themed areas
Live actors & special effects

I was told not to take any photos inside so we have to keep our camera to ourselves but you can check out their website for more information (:
Our next station to travel down to the Spirit of Singapore Boat Ride. The Spirit of Singapore Boat Ride is a unique and stunningly themed tribute to the Nation’s rich identity and people, truly a journey like no other. The celebration includes:
The enchanting Botanical Gardens

After spending half of the morning exploring Images of Singapore and boat ride, we are ready for their was museum. Madame Tussuads was divided into different themes and History & Leaders welcomed us when we entered into the museum.
In our Leaders Area you will meet not only modern political heavyweights but also the historical leaders who have shaped Singapore.
You will meet the British East India company’s Stamford Raffles, the 'Father of Singapore', as he prepares to venture further into Asia. Our traditional Oriental garden will feature some local dignitaries relaxing in the tranquillity. There are also our Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at his desk or participate in political debate with Barack Obama outside The White House.

The second theme to be seen: SPORTS

Take to the ring with Muhammad Ali to prove you too can “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee”, test your “punching weight” on the interactive scales or“putt out” on the first green during your head to head tie-break with Tiger Woods.
What's next up you will be challenging Yao Ming to a “hoop out” on our interactive basketball court, before meeting world famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
And now to my favourite idol, Cristiano Ronaldo with his charming pose.
