It's my 24th birthday... and I'm officially labelled a 24 yr-old =P When the clock struck 12 midnight, I had a teeny weeny tinge of sadness... HAHA! coz it dawned onto me that I'm one year older.. hahaha.. older's the word... gone were the days where I would anticipate the arrival of my birthday excitedly, and happily replying smses from friends and loved ones wishing me 'Happy Birthday'... =P of coz, I still beam with happiness and reply smses happily with heartfelt gratitude =)
Just that I'm no longer a xiao mei mei... one of my birthday wish this yr is that there will be no kids calling me 'auntie'.. HAHA.. WeiShi jie jie is still very much appreciated.. haha!
So, on my birthday~ Mr Koh brought me to the Universal Studios!!! =) Yay~ Feels like going overseas... haha.. Woke up bright and early.. and headed over to harbourfront for Mc Donald's bfast!
Having a hearty bfast before charging for the day...
We arrived at the entrance soon... and very excited to enter! hahaha... but had to pose with a picture with this 'in your face' cheapo entrance ticket which says THIS IS YOUR TICKET...
Radiant and excited... finally we stepped foot inside the premise of USS... haha.. in the past, we used to peep from outside.. haha.. super envious of ppl roaming the streets inside.. now we're in!! =)
Posed with everything... Even the popcorn truck.. haha.. we took ard 900+ shots that day.. many memories for keepsake.. haha..
So much to see, so much to do.. without further ado, we turned left, and headed to Madagascar Land, our first stop! haha...
It was very hot that day.......... see the brollies in the background? haha.. thankfully, the weather was nice and dry! =) Better than rain anytime.. haha..
There was a dance performance by the animal mascots too! haha.. cute penguins..
With most of Madagascar's attraction still under construction, we headed over to Far Far Away land... to find Shrek and Fiona!
but we saw Puss in Boots first! haahaha.. gotta grab him for a shot! =)
The Far Far Away Land castle has a nice fountain at the entrance.. =)
See the castle? Say Wahhh................. haha...
Our first ride was the family roller coaster called the 'Enchanted Airways'.. haha.. which was not scary at all... haha.. but good enough for a start =)
Next we went over to another attraction in Shrek land... 4D adventure~
See the queue? It was a Friday, and yet we were surrounded by quite a number of ppl.. haha.. I can't imagine the weekend crowd =P
Snakey queue to get in...
My 3D goggles... the attraction was nice~ =) very entertaining show in a 'cinema' too, with occassional spurts of water on everyone's faces, light breezes, tickling of feet, shaking chairs.. hahaha.. go and try and you'll know what I mean..
We were strategically led to the souvenir shop after exiting the 'cinema'.. with fond memories of the lovable characters in the show earlier.. I bet kids will be begging mummies and daddies to buy shrek/fiona/donkey, etc for them.. HAHA!
Donkey~
I think donkey and I share the same smile.. HAHA!
Posing with Fairy Godmother's huge poster..
With that, we left Far Far away land.. and moved on to the next 'land'... haha.. but we know we will come back to the castle again later in the day =P
Beware! We have arrived at the Lost World.........
We took our first ride there.. which is the'canopy flyer' which essentially looks like a chairlift that brought us around the 'land' of dinos... and a moderate speed.. no heights, no speed.. not much thrills.. HAHA..
This was what I've taken of Mr Koh while on the ride.......... Haha.. =P this ride made me giddy... tsk tsk!
We walked ard the dino land and took pictures with figures everywhere.. our hands simply never left our cameras.. haha..
We have hatched! =) *roar*
Our next challenge: Rapids Adventure... and the sign at the entrance reads 'You might get wet, possibly soaked' I laughed to myself... I shouldnt be so unlucky.. haha...
well~ Never did I expect that I would be treated to an early bath... =P
totally excited.. and never thinking what I would be heading towards.. HAHA!
After minutes of turning and jerking in an ultra huge float that could fit 9 adults, along the man made river........................
We got soaked........... Really soaked.. =P not an inch of our bodies were dry.. haha..
Of course, curious stares from passer bys along the way were inevitable.. haha.. we were just glad the sun was hot enough to help dry our clothes asap.. =P
Having conquered all the exciting attractions in the lost world (we skipped the kiddy ride), we proceeded to the Mummies' Land........
Impressive Egyptian structures welcomed us... haha.. Seemed like I was at Egypt.. =)
Giant Figures at the entrance of the most exciting ride in the whole of USS i feel.. haha.. it's an indoor coaster.. that made me scream quite abit.. there's speed, a little height, and alot of queueing... haha..
We met a mummy too........... Look at those abs~ HAHA! Honestly, I didn't intentionally look up at the mummy's abs/arm pit.. hahhaa.. it was just candid =P but it's very funny...
We went over to the Sci-Fi land... and took a picture with 'Battlestar Galatica' ride which was under construction... so sad... heard this is the most exciting ride at USS... =P
It's okay though.. A picture with it would suffice.. hahaha.. to pretend that we have conquered that. =P
Welcome to Sci-Fi city.. but with battlestar closed, there was nothing much to see/try out there.. except for the spinning UFO ride.. (imagine tea cup ride).. HAHA... I would be crazy to try that, knowing that I hate dizzy rides... haha... undesirable consequences expected =P
We moved over to 'New York City' soon after.. and stay tuned to Part 2 of our USS adventure! =)
