I'll update with pictures soon!
But for now if you're coming from orchard, take the red line to dhoby ghaut station.
After alighting, travel one floor up and look out for where everyone is heading towards. You should be able to see a travellator/ flat escalator.
Go to the end, and you would notice 5 escalators, some going up some going down.
Head down, and then head toward the north east line (purple line) on your right.
On your far left would be the circle line (yellow line) that also goes to HabourFront.
DO NOT TAKE THAT LINE because that goes one whole round. DO NOT TAKE IT.
If all else fails, just ask a friendly looking Singaporean :3
Once you head down the escalator toward the purple line, you can then board the train toward HabourFront, which is just 4 stops away.
And yay! You've arrived.
Now go up one level and head toward exit E if you're going to VivoCity or Sentosa
You'll see many signages telling you where to go to take the sky train or walk through the broadwalk!
Here's a map of the area near the station in case you need it... You'll always find these useful maps at any of the MRT stations, so make use of it!
Now it's time to make your way up to ground level.
Go up these escalators next to candy empire
See? the blue signs are all so obvious
Once you head to the ground floor, look out for another blue sign that says SENTOSA BROADWALK
Sorry picture here isn't so clear.
If not, head up another 2 floors to the top floor and you would find the sentosa express.
Again, lots of signages for you
Cost of entry is $4 per ride, regardless of which station in sentosa you alight at. I'll explain more about this below.
I was given a ticket coz I was staying at one of the hotels, so I had 3 days of free train rides on the sentosa express!
These are the train stations on the Sentosa Express!
Sentosa Station is the one you would board at Vivocity
Waterfront Station is where Resort World Sentosa, the Casino and Universal Studios are at
Imbiah Station is where the Merlion is
Beach station is where the... beach is yup..
This is how the long broad walk looks like from the sentosa express train (which I forgot to take a picture of ><)
Tip
In my opinion, $4 for a ride is NOT worth it unless you are with a lot of heavy baggage and stuff.
Look at the picture below and you'll notice that walking that 500 metre long bridge may be a much cheaper option than taking the sentosa express.
And did you know, once you enter sentosa, YOU CAN TAKE THE SENTOSA EXPRESS FOR FREE. This $4 is only an entrance fee.
Therefore, I'd much rather walk 10 minutes and enter free (or pay $1 on a weekday) and then go up the waterfront station and take the sentosa express to whatever other station I may want to go to (like beach station).
And when you want to return to mainland Singapore, IT IS FREE TOO.
Hence I would take the sentosa express from beach station all the way to Sentosa Station and I wouldn't have to pay a cent. Yay~
Alright here are some pictures I took at the beach :D

PICTURES ARE MINE DO NOT USE WITHOUT PERMISSION Beware of red ants near the grassy patches *ouch* they bite really hard
And please slather on sunscreen REGARDLESS of whether you really want that tan or not. The UV rays are bad for you. I put SPF 50 and still got darker O_O ok can
If you're looking for a cheap and good restaurant option at the end of the day, I recommend Astons, a western food restaurant where prices of a set meal ranges from $6.50 to $44.90 with 2 side dishes and affordable drinks.
Astons is located on the ground level at RWS, at the same level where the big USS globe is. It can be a bit hard to find, so do look at the location maps all around before finding it
That's all for now, hope this is helpful!
