Universal Studio Singapore is comprises of 7 land attractions that will keep you busy and happy throughout your stay.
Hollywood: The Hollywood will welcome you as this is located near the entrance.
We watched the Monster Rock Show where legendary monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein and the Mummy (among others) sang their hearts out with up-to-date and up-beat pop songs.
New York: Inspired by the architecture and street life of the so-called "City that Never Sleeps", "Empire State" and "Big Apple".

Here you can watch (just like what we did) the Lights Camera Action by Steven Spielberg where you can enter the movie scene and experience first hand the intense movie effects like earthquake, heavy rains and hurricane.
Sci-Fi City: The futuristic side of Universal Studio.
We weren't able to watch any shows here, just a picture with Optimus Prime.

Adventure seekers can ride their thrilling roller coaster, Galactica.

The Lost World.
We had our lunch here and I bought this kiddie meal just because of the free lunch box. hehe.

We watched the Waterworld show. If you have extra clothes, you may want to be seated in the bleachers located in the front row or the red zone area and expect to be upclose and personal with the performers as they will splash you with water from time to time.

Ancient Egypt.
We don't want to spend our day in Universal Studio just watching numerous shows so my sister and I decided to take our first ever ride --- Revenge of the Mummy. This is less scary compared to the roller coaster rides located in Sci-Fi City. Nevertheless, the 10-minute ride still made us scream at the top of our lungs.

Far Far Away.
The Kingdom of the most loved ogre in the world --- Shrek.

Don't miss Shrek 4D! Personally, this is the most fun show that I watched in Universal Studio.

Well, there's also the Donkey Live Show. But, sorry Donkey, I like Shrek better.

Madagascar.
Honestly, we weren't able to roam around the Madagascar because it was already late. But, at least we had a picture with them.

After visiting all the attractions, it's time to buy for souvenirs!

The best thing about theme parks is it caters to all ages and no matter who you're with, be it your family, friends or loved-one, everyone will surely have a great time.
After our Universal Studio Day tour, we headed back to Sentosa Express and alight at Beach Station.
Before watching the Songs of the Sea, we had our dinner at Mcdonalds and rode their free shuttle for a tour around the Palawan Beach and Siloso Beach.

Songs of the Sea.
Personally, I'm not that impressed. I find the musical fountain show in Manila Ocean Park better.
However, most tourists in Singapore come to Sentosa to watch it and so we wanted to give it a try.
We went back to Sentosa Express and alight at Imbiah Station. Here, we saw the Sentosa's bigger version of merlion. We took the cable car ride back to the city.

My Personal Tidbits of Travel Tips:
- It is better to visit the Universal Studio on weekdays as it can be extra crowded on weekends.
- Come early and check the schedules of shows you wanted to watch so that you can make the most out of your day pass.
- You can bring your own food and drinks inside the theme park.
- Take the Sentosa express at day and cable car ride at night to see the Singapore's skyline.
