Randomly

Genting won the bid to build the second casinoIntegrated Resort in Sentosa.

...swimming with the whale sharks, anyone? ._.";;;

I can't remember if Genting is really going ahead with its plans to make a whale shark aquarium, but I remember a lot of the animal-awareness group objecting to the plans.

Whalesharks are freaking big and I highly doubt that our Integrated Resorts could handle them. ='( But I'm not some crazy activist or anything, so I'll just wait and see. Although, if they made where ever the hell they're going to keep those things bigger than Singapore itself, I guess the sharkies might stand a chance. They're so cute in a Hagrid kind of way.

Yah, at first I was pretty curious, and supportive, of the idea. After all, these are whale sharks that we're talking about. Can't be found in Singapore currently. Great way to attract tourists, no? I know I would have gone to look at the whale sharks if they really brought them in.
But then, the animal-awareness groups started bringing up various points to disagree with such a move, and most of them are very much valid. I wouldn't know what to say if the IR faced another polarbear-style crisis that the Zoo currently has at the moment.

But wheee, whale sharks. *.*

*replays PV and watches the blimp once more AHAHA* it's true. It cheers you up no matter how low you're feeling. xD

I'm thinking it might attract tourists, but it might drive some tourists away too. Well, you win some, you lose some. I think Ligers are cooler than Whale sharks though, hybrids ftw and all that, but that's off topic. |D;

I think that space should go to building some large ass theme park though. It'd be freaking cool if we could get a roller coaster like this here:

Yeah, it would, especially if said-tourists are crazy activists and stuff. Hybrids are cool. xD Kinda reminds me of some of those wild cat+domestic cat hybrids I've read on Wiki. They're awfully pretty. <3

That roller coaster looks freaking cool, but I don't see myself sitting on it. >XD";;; It makes me think of Yu-gi-oh for some reason though. =| KAIBALAND AHAHA.

YAY FOR RAG FAIR. XD

I'd be willing to sit on it just because it has the word 'dragon' in its name 8D It'd be fun to try out an inverted rollercoaster for once.
