HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRICIA AND SARAH!
So we went to escape to celebrate today, since Tricia's birthday is on the seventh and Sarah's on the ninth. And 8.6.06 is unfortunately sandwiched in between.
And it just had to rain today. But oh well, we did go for some of the rides.
Like the (what's it called again) motion-sickness-inducing-spinning-around-like-teacups-on-a-disco-floor ride.
Yes, that was taken half a minute before my nerves were frazzled out screaming and not being able to smile half a smile properly.
And yes, we sat this one. It's called the revolutioniser or rotation-something something, I can't remember all these chimmified make-believe-to-scare-you names. See I was scared crazy that I took so many pictures.
It's actually this disc which rotates at a diagonal height, with chairs attached such that they can swing around if gravity so forbids them, and sometimes do a complete 360-degree swing. I squeezed my eyes shut the whole time and screamed so I can't really remember what it felt like. Except that I felt myself turning and hanging in the air, and wondering why I was so stupid to be coaxed into riding it.
Oh, it's called the Revolution.
And we went for the Wild and Wet, or Wet and Wild, or whatever it's called- Asia's highest flume ride. True, on the second splash I felt we flew downwards for an uneasily long time as compared to the one in Genting Highlands.
And then it started to rain, so we couldn't complete the quest of riding all the thrill rides, they closed the Viking Ship and the Rainbow. The Rainbow was supposed to be our dry-off ride! But the Inverter was closed due to mantainance anyway, so next time. (:
So we went to the only attraction we could go to in the rain- the haunted house. It scared the mushrooms out of me. No kidding. I practically screamed, closed my eyes (surprising how this method works for any single scary thing) and ran like a rampaging blind bull out of every single room. And the embarassing thing was there were these two ten-year-old girls who went first and were practically dragging us through, saying 'not scary lah! faster!' I don't know where else to throw my face lah.
Cookie Monster! Look really close- he's wearing Liz's airport sunglasses.
I hope 9th October will be as fun as this. ((((:
