Sea Aquarium Sea Monsters

[ Media Invite ]

What is the difference between the cute yellow and white creature, and the one below encased in stone?
Living fossils

Both are fossils, one living and the other extinct! If Ichthyosaur is still alive today, it would be able to dive 600m effortlessly!

At the exhibition area of Sea Aquarium’s latest exhibit, Sea Monsters, visitors can travel back 100 millions of years to witness evolution.

If Boon Yee knew Plesiosaur can swallow its prey in one mouth, he would hesitate to pose so near!

We can watch a plesioaur swim again with Augment Reality, download app “SPH AR”.

At one corner, Nanyang Polytechnic wished to remind us to take care of our environment. Reduce, reuse and recycle!

If you are scared of Jaws (Great White shark), meet its grandpa Megalodon. A whopping 30 times bigger than a Great White!

Just look at the 19cm tooth!

Other giants from the placoderm family, I would not jump into a sea with the 11m monster Placoderm Dunkleosteus! It has beak-like mouth (hard and sharp), just image the painful encounter from a parrot beak (then upsize to Placoderm portion!)

Looks like cockroaches! Only much bigger (multiplies the yuck factor)

Not all dinosaurs and sea monsters are extinct. Some descendants are among us today. Alligator Gar can grow up to 2.5m long! Coelacanth was thought extinct 80million years ago but can still be found today.

The beautiful arowana also has a long history, we spotted a cute hermit crab with a glass roof.

Mudskippers can be spotted at swarms, and I have not seen a live Horse shoe crab moving around before. Its legs are like little forks.

If you are a fan of dinosaur (or Jurassic World), Sea Monsters will be “swimming” till 30Sep.

The friendly class95 DJs. We won a pair of annual tickets in a contest yeah!

These are not living fossils, but as mesmerizing πŸ™‚

Katapult Trampoline Park, You jump I jump!

The signboard at the entrance of Katapult Trampoline Park offers a glimpse of what lies indoor (or rather, upstairs!). Very soon, your child will be asking you to WATCH him or her JUMP from a 4m platform!

When you are registering for Katapult Trampoline Park, you will see kids jumping infront of you! I got to admit, jumping from 4m might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
IMAG7416

The kids at Katapult Trampoline Park today are game to push their adrenaline limit!
Just curious, Katapult means “Catapult” or the Malay rice from Satay “Ketupat?”
Either way, Fun is guaranteed for everyone, and parents are most welcomed to join too.

In case you are asking us what is available at Katapult, the highlights are definitely jumping and bouncing.
If you see huge airbags, leap and land πŸ™‚

You can try balancing too (not easy!)

Ample space for everyone to run around and perspire, or run and hide from Dodge ball.

Hamtam-balla (aka dodge ball) anyone?

I am sure your family will have as much fun at Katapult Trampoline Park, but do exercise caution on landing. Boon Xin was careless and sprained her ankle, fortunately no torn ligament or fracture. She was down for one week :p
Xin sprain ankle

Don’t let gravity hold you down! That is Katapult’s tagline, and these kids sure had a Fun day Jumping!
