Nah, it was just a small water park.. We saw it in a brochure on our first day there, so we caught the train over to the other side, and went there.. However, on Sentosa Island, there is apparently a good theme park.. We didn't go over there though.

It has 4 basic slides, a big children's water playground, a relaxing pool that goes around the whole park that you float in, and also this awesome pool called the "tsunami"... It's just a basic, large wave pool, then out of nowhere, at random times throughout the day, the water starts to get faster, and all of a sudden, the waves go really crazy, and you just get thrown around everywhere! It is sooooo fun!! Very Happy

I'm thinking that they made it, before the tsunami though, otherwise it wouldn't be the most appropriate pool Shocked

Love always, Alyssa xoxo

Yeah, it kind of gives it a kind of symmetry, doesn't it? I like the leafless trees in front of the old buildings... kind of a feeling of age and melancholy. And then you have that bridge dominating the horizon. I like.

Ahhh..... maybe someone here might be able to help me...
I know I'm getting a camera for my birthday soon. Just a little digital camera. I was wandering what the best thing to look for in a camera is? is it better to have a greater optical zoom? or bigger megapixles? or any other features or special things I should look for?

Confused

Big megas and big opticals. Don't be fooled by "digital zoom", it's a con.

Yeah spot on.

If you want a camera just for fun, then anything in the lower budget will do fine.

If you want something that leads you into photography itself, then with 5mpg or more and the highest optical zoom in the budget.

In terms of a DSLR? I started off with the Olympus E-500 twin lens kit. Practically, any DSLR in the lower price would be a sufficient entry.

Popular household models are; Canon - Nikon - Pentax

You can purchase a DSLR Pentax K100 (6mgp) for under $600, comes with 1 lense.


DSLR = digital single lens reflex
