In that evening, on that beach, towards the sea we are looking, and realized how big is this world we are at. Plenty of silhouette pictures as the sun is shining so brightly, it was about 3pm that day.

Taken at Palawan Beach. Didn’t have much time to drop by Siloso Beach, as it is much bigger, and it is already very late in the evening. Ran out of energy to walk around. Whole body is sticky, feels like jumping down a pool straight to freshen up.

So, this set ends the Sentosa trip pictures. Off to the main Island back, to enjoy a nice dinner at the Thai Restaurant @ Vivo City. Forgotten the name, but it was a decent dinner together.

Reached to Palawan Beach in that evening, it was pretty hot, but luckily it was windy as well and there are some good shelters for us.

We dropped by for a small picnic, enjoy some snacks and take some pictures.

Walked up the wooden shelter, about 4 storeys high, enjoy the scenic view from the top and take a look at the wide sea in front and enjoy the evening sun which is about to set in few hours time.

Following up on the post on: Life in Singapore and Life in Indonesia - Dumai or some other place in Indonesia, I can say they are very different.

Its like two different world. How can I feel it? Lately I have been spending most of my weekends in Batam Island - Indonesia. Due to its proximity from Singapore, it is easier to reach and not tiring.

So, going back and forth between Singapore and Batam - Indonesia, I can feel the difference clearly. Once you are in the developed area, high-tech, and high living standard, and the next few days you live in a simple, traditional, developing world, with simple life styles.
