The Beautiful Island of Singapore --- Sentosa



    If you go to Singapore, you must visit the Island of Sentosa. It is south of Singapore. There is a wooden sign on the southern part of the Island. It is carved: The Southernest point of the Europe - Asia Continent.

    The sunshine in Sentosa is bright and vibrant. Sometimes, it rains a short time. The beach is covered with white sand. If you walk on it in bare feet, you will feel hot, soft and tiny. The water is blue, clear and pure. You can watch the fishes under the water.

    Many people go swimming and skating here. Some of them lie on the bench to get a tan. They come here with their family or friends. Maybe you can find a Malay family having a B.B.Q to feed the 1, 2, 3, 4 wives. Some students play volleyball or firsbees. The are very relaxed.

    There is a tall, huge, stone lion standing in the centre of the Island. It looks like a lion with a fish tile which is named Merlion. Actually, it is an entertainment plaza. On the first floor, there are Shopping Mall and Museum. There are elevators inside. You can go to the Merlion's head or mouth. From there, you can view the whole Island. You can see the cable car coming to the Island, see the sky train circling the island, see the old artillery, find ships moving in Malacca straits, look at the factories in Jorong east or Tuas, or even look at the Indonesian chimney on the horizon.

     When evening comes, the Merlion sends colourful light to the fountain in front of it. The travelers and visitors can watch an exciting movie on the fountain.

Field Trip to CBC on Dec. 3rd

Today, our MicroSkills Language Program had an interesting field trip. We visited the CBC Tower. The full name of CBC is Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

I left home as usual at 8:15 and took TTC bus 39 to Finch Subway Station. I followed the crow of
passengers and boarded the Southbound train. When I arrived at Union Station, it was 9:15. There were enough time for me to get to the meeting place.

At 9:30 am, we started off to CBC Tower, led by Teacher Donald. When we walked by the Fairemond, Mr. Donald stopped and point to the old tower said, "When I was a boy, it was the highest building in Toronto."

After about walking 200 metre, we came to the CBC. There were many people already standing in line. They must have come earlier than us. We had to queue behind them for a free concert at 11 o'clock.

I was lucky that an usher came to us and said, "One person, Just one seat is available." I answered at once, "I am single, I am bachelor." She said with a toss of her head, "OK, come with me." So, I enjoyed an extra half concert instead of waiting in line.

About 11:00 am, when my teachers and classmates entered the Hall, I had already selected a better seat and was waiting for them.
