Welcome to Underwaterworld Singapore

2006-02-06T04:21:00.000-08:00

Underwater World Singapore, situated on Sentosa Island of Singapore, is a unique and well-known oceanarium showcasing some 2500 marine life from 250 species from around the regions and is extremely popular with all our visitors for providing fun, leisure and educational experiences. Since our opening in 1991, more than 20 million visitors have been won over by our exhibits. With our aim to provide every visitor with a unique fun filled experience, Underwater World Singapore is actively involved in regular product renewal and program innovation.

At Underwater World Singapore, a 'voyage to the bottom of the sea' begins at the water’s edge, with shallow rock turtle and ray pools. Be greeted next by brightly colored corals and exotic ocean dwellers (including moray eels, sea dragons and jelly fishes) before you embark on a spectacular underwater journey through our 83-metre-long moving travelator with a tunnel housing the majestic rays, fearsome sharks, great shoals of other fishes and a host of other creatures that inhabit the ocean depths. At the end of the underwater tunnel experience, do not miss out on the rare opportunity to exchange some playful glances with our graceful dugong, Gracie. Also look out for the latest themed exhibit in our changing exhibit hall on the first level. The current theme is the "Living Fossils" exhibiting various unique and amazing marine and freshwater creatures, whose ancestors appeared more than a few hundreds of millions years ago!

Underwater World Singapore is committed to the conservation and breeding of marine life through active involvement in several environmental projects. School visits are actively supported, with educational programs like Living in the Ocean Sleepover, Hands-on Educational Fun Workshops, and the Ocean Ambassador, encouraging fun learning and understanding of the undersea life and its fragility. Alternatively, snuggle up to creatures of the deep by joining our various Dive programs, or pamper yourself with our ever-popular “Swim with the Dolphins”.

If you are looking for unique exclusive venues to host your events, we offer you fascinating wine and dine ideas like “Dinner with the Sharks” (exclusive dining on the moving travelator), and ocean-themed functions. Alongside with the theme of the event, we can help you to specially concoct and create a sumptuous spread of irresistible delicacies. Open spaces are also available for holding outdoor events at the Dolphin Lagoon. Be it corporate functions, incentive parties, product launches, company family days or even weddings, the possibilities are endless at Underwater World Singapore and Dolphin Lagoon.

AMONG THE WHIRL of New Year impressions, the image that must come to mind of thousands visitors enjoying our cool season, is the profusion of blossoms in Chiangmai. The flowering trees on the roadside and the profusion of orchids which color the gardens greet one and all. Coming from either tropical countries or the somber gray of Europe, it's not surprising that visitors fall in love with Thailand's national flower the orchid and chosen to enliven his garden and patio with an explosion of rainbow colors in all sizes.

Orchids are at their best during the cooler months of Chiangmai's winter although, especially with hybrids, they splash into color also in August. In the wild, orchids drape themselves from tree branches and let their roots dangle so they may draw moisture from the air. They are not pararsites feeding off the tree as some people may think. Also, they are full of little surprises for example, some medicines are derived from orchids and the pollen can be an ingredient of expensive face creams. The flavoring, vanilla, also comes from the beautiful orchid.

In Thailand, there are some than 1,000 species which range from the quite rare to relatively common. White blooms are among the rarest because of their scarcity in the wild; when we see a spectacular spray of white blossoms, it is thanks to the painstaking research and work of the orchid horticulturist. The more usual spectrum of hues is from pottery red to purple but there are also, bright oranges and yellows. Many ladies on Thai Airways flights, or at a Chiangmai khantoke dinner will have been presented with a blossom in mauve or lilac.

When you are buying an orchid plant (rather than just a spray of cut blooms), only do so when it is in blossom so that you will know the color and form to expect. For hobbyist orchid growers, it is suggested that the Dendrobium species are easiest for first timers. They invariably bloom from January to March but, indeed, given proper care, conditions and fertilizer, will burst forth three times a year. Possible variety choices, from the Dendrobium species, include "Madame Pompadour", "Wai-King" and "Diamond Head Beauty". They are all hardy varieties which come in a range of colors.

Breeding the Thai orchid is a different story altogether and requires the knowledge and skill of an expert. Orchids are canny and, in some species, will only permit the pollination process to be completed by a particular insect species. Orchids do not like bees and will produce a drug to prevent bees from taking the pollen. On the other hand, wasps are welcomed but not always! This is where the expert horticulturist comes to the fore by removing the vagaries of insect pollination he, or she, can control the cross pollination so, combined with a hefty measure of luck, a beautiful new orchid will spring into flower.

The skills of many have combined to bring these beautiful, tropical plants in a host of colors. Visitors may like to visit one of the several flower markets indicated on the color maps in this issue. Thailand's national blossom is abundantly available to make a wonderful, living, long-lasting gift . Express the mystery of nature to your garden enthuisast friends "Say it with Orchids"!

ขอแค่ได้ฝัน

I want is to dream.

อยู่ตรงนี้ดีกว่า ขอแค่มองเธอไกลๆ
It's better to be here, watching you from afar.
แค่เก็บเธอไว้ในใจ ไม่ต้องการจะผูกพัน
Just keeping you in my heart, I don't need you to love me.
ไม่ได้เรียกร้องอะไร ขอแค่มองแค่ได้ฝัน
I'm not asking for anything from you, all I want is to watch and to dream.
ไม่สำคัญ ว่าเธอนั้นมีใคร
It doesn't matter to me that you already have someone.
แอบส่งยิ้มให้เธอ แม้ว่าเธอไม่เห็นมัน
I secretly smile at you, though you can't see it.
ยังเก็บไปฝันกลางวัน แม้ว่ามันไร้จุดหมาย
I just want to daydream about you, though I know it doesn't mean anything. เ
ก็บความหวั่นไหวที่มี กับรักครั้งนี้เป็นไปไม่ได้
I'll keep on being afraid, and keep the love that we could never have together.
ไม่เป็นไร สุขหัวใจแค่ได้ฝัน
It doesn't mattter, I'm happy just being able to dream.
แค่ขอเป็นคนห่วงใย ได้รักไกลๆคิดถึงไกลๆเท่านั้น
I'm just someone who cares about you, loves and thinks about you from afar.
ไม่คิดจะไปยืนแทนเขาคนนั้น ได้แค่ฝันฉันขอแค่นั้นก็พอใจ
I'm not thinking it could be me standing besides you instead of him, I'm happy just being able to dream.
แอบส่งยิ้มทุกวัน แม้ว่ามันเหมือนคนบ้า
I secretly smile at you every day, although it's like I'm crazy
ยังคิดถึงทุกเวลา แม้ว่าฟ้าไม่เข้าใจ
I think about you all the time, though even the skies above don't understand.
เก็บความหวั่นไหวที่มี กับรักครั้งนี้เป็นไปไม่ได้
I'll keep on being afraid, and keep the love that we could never have together.
ไม่เป็นไร สุขหัวใจแค่ได้ฝัน
It doesn't mattter, I'm happy just being able to dream.
แค่ขอเป็นคนห่วงใย ได้รักไกลๆคิดถึงไกลๆเท่านั้น
I'm just someone who cares about you, loves and thinks about you from afar.
ไม่คิดจะไปยืนแทนเขาคนนั้น ได้แค่ฝันฉันขอแค่นั้นก็พอใจ
I'm not thinking it could be me standing besides you instead of him, I'm happy just being able to dream.
สุขแค่ฝันฉันขอแค่นั้นก็พอใจ
I'm happy just being able to dream.

(^@^) On My vacation (^@^)

On my vacation, my family and I made merit at Wat Prasrisanpet, that’s very beautiful temple having a great historical site.

After that, we went to Pattaya, that’s a very beautiful sea. Around Pattaya, there were many foreigners and souvenirs too Pattaya’s clean and suitable for rest.

After swimming, I bought some souvenirs for my friends and I come back home. Those day, I was very happy because I traveled with my family.

My favorite animals

One of all the animals that I like are the birds, they have 2 wings , which are used to fly.

They are very beautiful because they make me feel independent. In the morning ,they always sing and seek the food.

The birds have many species for example : parrot , pigion, cuckoo, sparrow, dove, hornbills, eagle and etc. Another animal that I like is kangaroo.

I’ve never seen them but I have ever seen them by watching T.V.

They can be found in Australia.

The little kangaroos live in their mothers’ pouch until they grow up to take care themselves.

( >.<) My favorite movie.(>.< )

My favorite movie.

The movie style that I love is horror and comedy movie such as The Eyes, Ju-On etc.

I like these movies because It is interesting and exciting. The audience could imagine about the story. And Ju-On is my favorite horror movie .

Moreover Comedy movie is joking and entertaining. It make audience is pleasant.

And the movie that I feel sad is King Kong that is the latest
