finally made a trip down to USS! after it's opening in 2010 :/ very slow, i know. but considering i'm actually not a fan of theme parks, i actually did enjoy myself there :D

bright and early in the morning, we made our way to the theme park. actually not, i had lazed in bed because of a stay over at the festive hotel the night before. so i didn't have to get up bright and early :D but the weather was so uninviting. and we had to rent lockers to keep our bags for the day because of my ukulele and luggage from my stay over at the hotel :/ so after pacing up and down the locker area, we decided to just go ahead with our initial plan.


we actually didn't know where to start from because it was really our first time there and we don' t know what each ride is about. the descriptions in the park map weren't useful at all. and so were those at the entrance to the rides. but still we managed to go round the park in sequence and try not to miss out on any fun rides.


then we had lunch with a turkey leg and corn dog before going back to check on our locker since we only rented it for 3 hours. bad idea, but thankfully, they extended our rental automatically to a full day rental and we only had to top up $4. really worth it :D 


then we headed to the "get wet" ride. while queueing, we saw so many people in raincoats/getting raincoats from the vending machine. yes, they actually had vending machines in the queue but they cost $3 each. so expensive :/ since we weren't willing to part with our money, and we didn't think we would get very wet, we braved through the ride. and poor me, i was the wettest because i was on the side which fell into the water first :( 


we took the revenge of the mummy the last cos i was being a wuss. i didn't dare ride it because my sis said the graphics would scare me real bad. but she also did mention later that since with my night blindness, i'll most probably not catch anything cos it's too dark. which was true, because during the ride, i couldn't see anything after the initial fire thingy. and for our photo captured, i had hair all over my face :( but i think we were most afraid during the walk in to the ride area because we were the only ones and they were playing eerie music. to make things worse, it was kinda dim and there were so many mummies on the walls :( if anyone caught us walking in, they must have laughed at us.


and we actually rode the flyway roller coaster thingy thrice. the first time we were seated at the last row so it was most exciting. the second time was much later and we were seated in the middle so it was just meh. and to make it more exciting, we ran out and in again to ride one more time. this time at the second last row. so so fun! when it's not exciting enough, take it twice in a row! hahahaha! a pity though, we didn't get to ride the battlestar galatica. we wasted too much time on watching this monster musical show which saw us wasting 30 minutes on the show and another 30 minutes before that trying to kill time by riding silly rides. i was whining about how i want to go on the transformers again while killing time but the boyfriend refused, saying we wouldn't make it for the show. so we went on the carousel where i got kicked by an indian man in my stomach when he was getting off ._. and during the monster musical....... well, guess who fell asleep? obviously not me.

still, it was a fun day out for us both. like we spent so much time together and since there were so many foreigners around us, it felt like we were overseas alone. haha! guess the $95.20 was well-spent. 

it's a pity i haven't been active here because of my new found love :/ but still, this is my number 1.... albeit a hidden number 1. the past few months have been crazily hectic. i swam, i ran, i drove, i cycled, i ate, i drank, i cried, i laughed, i even rode a horse and didn't die. no, i'm not afraid of horse-riding. but the horse that i got on that day...... let's just say it was a little high on drugs and was on suicide mode. 


just doing this to release a little bit of frustration. alright, it's back to IA stuff. time flies. like really flew. i've been in uni for so long, it doesnt seem unreal anymore. and i'm starting to step out into the society, it really is painful to know so much about so many others. pray that God will continue to give me strength as i face the remaining 19 weeks with zeal and passion! and most importantly, i pray that He continue to watch over the people all over the world. those who need Him, those who think they do not need Him..... everyone needs to be saved. 

it's been slightly more than a month since our last monthly chilling session. it's really a pity that it's off this month cos we all have our commitments and bloody hell, i fell ill when ah niang and i decided to replace it with a girl's night out with wanfong. pfft. 

our monthly beer bellies session. something that i cherish deeply. it's not about the booze that we intoxicate ourselves with. it's all about the sharing session, where we just pour out our grievances and listen to what others have to say about our predicament. when we were still young and less wild, we could do this everyday. piss each other off every other day, smack each other all the time. now that we're all scattered everywhere, it's these sessions that keep us together. and i'm really thankful that we're reminded that even though all of us are apart,  we still have each other. 

month after month, there will always be someone with issues. month after month, it'll be the same person making us laugh because he drinks like thirsty hippo. month after month, we always have the same latecomer (but we still love you, matt!). month after month, we will have new toys to play with. month after month, there are new jokes to be shared. month after month, there are new songs to sing along to. 
thank you beer bellies for all the wonderful late nights. i cant wait for our next session cos i'm thirsty like mingyu always so excited to meet you guys! christmas party at mingyu's please please please!
