Yeah... They were as lost as I am trying to figure out what they're doing? Trying to be models, I'm sure...
That's me in the middle... I just love action shots like this...

Chris doing what he does best! Hanging with dragons!
Here is the sign for the entrance to see the MERLION! Its an amazing and mythical creature! Said to be half Lion and half Mermaid! Its scary and delicious! Basically, its the mascot of Sentosa Island so they can sell all kinds of merchandise with a Merlion on it. And something about a myth, but really, who wants to hear that? Maybe Edith remembers... Ask her...
The outside of the Merlion!
Getting ready to go into the belly of the beast where they apparently have a movie projector that explains the entire myth of the Merlion... Like I said, ask Edith... ok, fine! The Merlion was a mythic beast that a prince of someplace bumped into. When the mermaid/dragon tried to stop him from going to Sentosa Island, he threw his crown into the sea and the mermaid/dragon let them pass. Then once the prince had reached Sentosa Island, a lion approached them. The prince and the lion struck a mutual accord, and both lived on the island happily ever after. Due to needing a mascot for the Sentosa Island, the merger of Lion and Mermaid/Dragon occured, and now we have MERCHANDISE of Mythic proportions!!! The End... whew...
Inside the Merlion were scary beasts! And sharks too!
Apparently the Merlion doesn't brush his teeth often and there are some nasty bugs inside... wait, that's us... oops. I'll use my reading glasses next time...
On top of the Merlion's head, there is an observatory, and so in this picture... we are in the observatory of the Merlion's head. redundant? no...
"Edith, can you see the beautiful view? Its to die for! Someone get a phone book!" -Ben
