We often complained about how Singapore is a boring country with nothing much to see and do. So most of us would usually flock to other countries for holidays when in actual fact, there's actually so much fun activities that can be done in Singapore.
If you are like me who is not planning to go on any overseas trip this December holiday season, you may want to consider having a staycation and spend a day or two at Sentosa island.
Two weeks ago, I had an extremely fun time with some of the other bloggers at one of the main attractions in Sentosa. It's a 6 year old award-winning attraction located at Imbiah Lookout, Sentosa and it's none other than the Sentosa 4D Magix!
At Sentosa 4D Magix alone, there's already three different popular attractions to try out. They are Extreme Log Ride, Pirates in 4D and Desperados in 3D.
All these three rides promises to bring a fun and enjoyable time no matter who you are with. The three rides caters to all ages as long as your height is above 90cm. Children below 3 years old have to be be accompanied by an adult for safety reason obviously.
Thanks to this group of male singers who were there to entertain us with catchy songs while we were queuing up for our turn. They sang well and got us in the mood to relax and have fun.

Okay, the first ride we tried out is the Extreme Log Ride. It's Singapore's first cinematic ride that presents an interactive movie experience with 4D effects that makes objects come to life, in this case, the logs. Yearly upgrades were conducted to keep up with technology advancement.
Photo taken with Shu Qing while we were inside the waiting room. They are gonna show us the safety precaution video.
While Shu Qing and I were happily taking photos, the mask faces on the wall suddenly lighted up with different colours each time. I felt as if I'm going to enter a tribal show. Hooka Chaka! Hooka! Hooka! Hooka Chaka! Hooka!
Oh yeah, here's the blue-faced tribal man briefing us on the safety precautions.
We were finally inside the theatre. Altogether, there's 9 motion capsules inside the theatre and all operating on a state-of-the-art 6-axis motion system. That's Terence sitting in front of me. I only asked if he wants to take photo of not and he come out with so many poses. Haha, enough to create a collage.
Now is our turn to camwhore before we begins our adventure as a log. In this movie, we experience the exhilarating ascent as a log in Himalayamazon to the top of the mountains, rushing down to the deepest valley as well as dodging other flying logs, coming to close encounter with a crocodile as well as with a saw. To top it off, wind blasters are added to mimic a roller coaster ride experience. It's quite an exciting ride as the movement of the whole capsule we were sitting in can get rather vigorous at times. Really love this ride.

Next is Pirates in 4D. I've actually watched this before earlier this year but I'm still pretty excited to watch it again. It is Southeast Asia's first 4D cinematic experience attraction that has won the Asian Attractions Awards for Most Popular Small Attraction for 5 consecutive years from 2007 to 2011!
Ahoy! I can see the pirates are coming! Had much fun playing around with the props at the queuing area!
Photo taking time while inside the waiting room. Erm, it's Christmas season but why the effect is like Halloween? Hahaha. Terence sure looks like a vampire with his hoodie up. The next Edward Cullen, maybe?
You have been warned to enter at your own risk.
The specially imported seats equipped with built in speakers as well as environmental effects is good enough to keep one entertained throughout the whole film. Beside that, there's also water features, seat vibrations, leg ticklers and base shakers to more effects. This ride is the only one with a story line. It's about how Captain Lucky and his crew sailing to Pirate Island and falling into different traps set up by Davie and Chester, the monkey. In the beginning, there's a bit more vibrations of the seats as Captain Lucky keep smashing and punching into his crew, accidentally or intentionally. There's the trap with crabs, bee hive, cactus and bats. Be prepared to get your feet tickled, hair messed up and a little bit of wetness the moment they encounter the traps.

The last ride we went to is Desperados in 3D. This is again Singapore first 3D interactive shoot-out gamng experience. The recent upgrade to the state-of-the-art 3D projection system allows audience to see bullets and objects flying off the screen.
Once again, safety first and this time round, also guides on how to get the best out of this ride. The first round was a trial ride to let us get the hang of shooting the bad guys.
In this ride, each individual has a hand-held motion sensor guns while riding on a moving saddle. The rocking saddles in an up-down movements adds on to the fun element in this ride. It's really a test of one's shooting skills and I think the first few row of riders has better chance to be the top shooter. I was seated around the third row and I got quite a nice score. 86 points! Thanks Zerika for the photo.
We can't get enough of the shooting.
Just now I mentioned that I got a nice number for my score right? Now compare my score to the top scorer! The 4th name on the board has got 841 points??? :O:O:O Seriously? You think you can beat his/her scores? Take up the challenge then.
After the three fun rides, we settled ourselves at Starbucks. Thanks for the yummy treats.
Really enjoyed myself a lot. Can see that everyone have fun too cause after every ride, all came out with smiles on their faces. Words and photos can't really describe how fun it is. You just have to go down and experience it yourself to find out.
