Sentosa, Orchard, and Chemical Engineering @ NTU

Dad was feeling sick on this day, so he didn't climb with me. This is at Sentosa Island (our second visit). It turns out that the Island was given its name via a contest. People were told to put forward their best choice. The son of the President put forward "Sentosa". Where did he get this name? From a private medical clinic called the "Sentosa Medical Clinic". The significance: the Sentosa Medical Clinic was given its name by its founder and operating doctor, Dr. Peter Wee, an elder in the Joo Chiat Assembly here in Singapore.
This is the Sentosa beach. Locals claim it is clean as opposed to the East Coast Beach which I swam at the other day. My opinion: they are both very clean compared to most beaches on PEI.
Those lines are a bunch of zip lines. The line begins at the platform at the top of the climbing wall above.
This is Orchard - a ridiculously expensive shopping destination. According to Wikipedia, there are 78 shopping malls in Singapore (which is 1/8 the size of PEI).
Po Po seem to travel in large groups.
This is the Center of Design and Media at NTU.
Scott wanted to see the Chem. Eng. building. This is the back side of it, and next are a couple of shots from the front.
It's about 7 or so levels high.
And makes any building from UNB look like it was built in the stone age.

  1. Chemistry engineering building looks good, I found out the name of the refinery, it is actually under the exxonmobil name (or just mobil) and it is located in jurong and another on jurong island or pulau Ayer chawan... Does this help?
