Sisters' Island Marine Park Intertidal Walk - July 2015

I was very happy to secure a slot for two to join the introductory intertidal guided walk at Sisters' Island Marine Park.  We were to report at Marina South Pier at 6.50am but we went there much earlier, at around 6.30am to secure a parking lot.

At around 6.30am at Marina South Pier...

 Big Sister's Island
Upon reaching the island, we had a quick safety briefing by Collin and then we were split into 4 groups, with each group around 10 members.  We got Adriane, a volunteer as our guide.
 We saw many monkeys on the islands.  Never feed them or let them see your food!  They can get aggressive and snatch your food from you!  










 Moon Snail.




 Land Hermit Crab... Purplish!


 Common Starfish.




 Garlic Bread Sea Cucumber


Beaded Sea Anemone.



 Hairy Crab.




Sand Collar, egg case of the Moon Snail.  These are unhatched eggs.
 There is a pair of sea moths (a type of fish) in this photo but you will really need to strain your eyes to see them.






 Just opposite is the Small Sister's Island.

The next round of registration will open on 2 Aug 10am for booking of a free guided tour in September.  Do refer to this website for more details:

28th Sea Games Opening Ceremony @ Singapore Sports Hub

I was lucky to be able to get hold of the Sea Games Opening Ceremony through a friend.  The pre-show started at 7pm and actual show started at 8pm.  As I was there earlier, I walked around to take photos first and also visited the Sea Games Carnival area.

Our Sea Games Mascot, NILA!

 We only started joining the queue at around 7.20pm after our dinner and we realized that the queue to gain entry to the stadium was unbelievably long!!!  We thought we might miss the start of the opening ceremony but fortunately, we managed to get in at 8pm sharp!  Heng ah!






 Haha!  NILA "Parachute" into the stadium!
