30/8:
It was my first ever visit to Universal Studios, so you can imagine how excited I was (being me). Couldn't get to sleep as I was overly excited, thinking about all the crazy rides as well as the fun I'm going to experience with my friends on the "big" day. Enthusiastic me finally fell asleep at about 3am, and (surprisingly) I woke up at 6something in the morning feeling energetic and "bouncy". Started preparing (chop chop) and within record's time I'm ready and am off to meet with my friends (our meeting time was 9am)! Couldn't stop giggling to myself on my way to Harborfront Mrt Station, I'm thinking whoever who saw me on that day must think I'm bonkers. Haha :P
I'm the second one who reached there (Su reached first!) Aren't you guys surprised? Because most of the time, Su and me are one of the latest whenever we're meeting up for something, like outings or early in the morning for lessons. So yeah, that shows that we can be early IF we want to. Well, had our breakfast and off we go to USS!!!! :D
(Okay, enough of words! I'll let the pictures do the talking!)
Alicia took this shot! Was too excited so we were walking all the way at the front. (the other girls were trailing behind)
I don't know what we were talking about, probably something related to USS!
That's us! ;)
Dee was supposed to lead us to the right way (we were to walk to Sentosa), but she kinda forgot her way, so we had to go down the escalator again and finally, we got off at the right way!
Sentosa!
Being overly excited (yeah that's me!), Su and me set off walking at a brief pace.
That's our backview ;)
Reached USS, and the queue to buy the tickets was soooooo horrible! It was really long, even the queue to enter USS itself is long!!!!! So we split the "work", Dee went to get the tickets while the rest of us went to queue so that we will be able to get in once our tickets are ready.
That's the 4 of us with our tickets! :D
Was looking through the crowds of people, and someone (I forgot if it's Dee or Fancy) spotted a short queue, so we rushed to that queue to get into USS!
Noticed this little Caucasian toddler while we were on our way to the first ride. Couldn't help myself, so I took a picture of him! He's really adorable!!!! :D
Yeap, we snapped a few pictures here and there while walking. The sceneries inside are really gorgeous! Look at this!
This place looks so "movie-ish". I mean, whenever I watch movies, I encounter places like this and I thought it was beautiful! (Too bad Singapore doesn't look like this :( )
Yeah, our first ride was this 'Mummy ride'. Su and Dee kept wanting us (the first-timers) to try this ride.
Well, there really were some unexpected twists and I screamed my ass off, literally as the ride was super scary! Okay, at least to me! My legs went 'jelly' after the ride, and I had to hold on to Su and Dee for support. (shy) haha.
Went to the locker to collect our belongings, and off we went for the second ride!
Took this picture while on our way there, the second ride we took were the red coaster.
That's Dee and me! :D
Su spotted this 2 adorable toddlers, and she had to capture it!
Awwwwwww! ;) Look at the little boy!!!!
Reached our destination!
Look at the crazy coasters! We took the red one (galactica - human) first (as usual, my legs went "jelly" after the ride) and then the blue one (galactica - cyclops). The blue coaster was freakin' crazy!!!!! There were 180degrees turn and ..... well let's just say I ended up with a sore throat after the whole USS trip!! But it was great! To me, it felt as if like I've committed suicide and have managed to survive the whole "ordeal".
Yeah, I didn't know Deb was behind me until I looked at the picture. Looks nice! :D
The background is so beautiful, so we had to stop to take some pictures! Yeap, that's Su and me (again!)
Passed by this hat shop, and we so had to stop to take pictures. (You would stop too, trust me. The hats are all so adorable!!!!!) Let me show you a few of it. ;)
The cute alien hat!
Typical Jen face with the witch's hat ;)
Me, Dee and Su trying on different hats!
Do you find this crates familiar? Yeah, think hard ......
Yeap, it's the Madagascar's crates!
And while walking .... We spied this really huge door..... And being girls ..... We had to .....
STOP
FOR
PHOTOS! HAHAHA
I love this shot! ^_^
Wanted to try something different .... So I posed differently... Don't be shocked!
Really huge door (It's locked btw, thus this action) Hahaha, I look totally unglam, but who cares! I love it! :D
Yeap, a closer shot of my piggy face. :)
A bigger picture of how it looks like. :)
That's the both of us! :D
Dee and me :)
We stayed at this place for quite sometime, because Fancy felt sick after the 3rd ride. So to pass our free time away, we continued snapping pictures!
Welcome to Far Far Away...?
Found a "perfect" spot for Fancy to take a rest. It was very sunny, thus I used the quotation marks for the perfect. They had umbrellas with them, so it was okay!
So, while waiting, Dee, Su and me wanted to take some jump shots. :P Yeah, I think I was the one who suggested it. Hahaha.
Su looked serious here. Lol. And I find this picture funny coz it's candid and Dee and me sported similar expressions!
Jump shot fail #1. The coordination between the jumpers (Su, me and Dee) and the camerawoman (Deb) wasn't right.
Let's try again ... ;)
Let's just say the second jump shot we tried wasn't successful, either. Hahaha. I have the pictures, but I shan't post it because I look horrible :P Tried for a few more attempts....
AND ....
FINALLY WE GOT IT!!!!
Successful jump shot! :D
And all of us landed on the ground at the same instance! Yay!
See our coordination was good, at least for this attempt ;D
I shall show all of you a few more of the jump shots before going on to the next part of the day..
Another successful jump shot! Look at how high Su can jump!!! (amazed)
Successful jump shot, at least for me :D Our coordination wasn't really right ;)
So, we were supposed to get to the blue coaster again for another ride .... BUT I have to spot the joker while on our way there .... So, I wanted to take picture really bad with him. But the camera wasn't with us. So we ran all the way back to find Deb & Fancy (the both of them was resting), and ran all the way back to find Su, only to find the joker gone ..... Yeah, imagine how disappointed I was. Oh well *shrugs* Life is a disappointment itself anyways.
Sorry for the slight side track... Back to the topic ;)
So to fully utilise the camera (since we ran like crazy pigs to get it), we went around taking pictures (forgetting about the blue coaster ride)
Madagascar! ;)
So, we were on our way back to find Deb & Fancy ... Guess which character we saw .... ?
..
...
......
YEAP, It's Puss in boots!!!! :D
I love hugging Mascots because I think they're adorable! :D
Went for our fourth ride.. I forgot the name for it, but it's a kiddy coaster, yeah.. And the queue for all the amusement rides were starting to gather ..... So, we decided to stop taking the rides and go for the shows instead. (The 4D Shrek Show, monster rock)
It was around 3:30 then, and we saw Shrek and Fiona!!!!! Woah, Fiona is really gorgeous! Don't believe me? See for yourself! :)
See! Isn't she beautiful? ;)
While walking (I forgot to where), saw a couple of antique cars. So we stopped for photos! :D
Love these cars :D
AND THEN WE CHANCED UPON KUNG FU PANDA!!!!!!!! So we went to queue for the photo-taking!
Idk who took this picture, but I think Su and me looks really funny here. :D
Group shot! It would've been nicer if the panda's eyes are facing the camera.
Fancy felt really unwell, so we sent her off to the entrance. She went home thereafter.
Did you just say ... World Premiere?!
So, we were trying our best to spot mascots / characters everywhere..... And our patience paid off, coz we spotted ......
Hint: It's a He! He was supposed to be in the picture, but he had to be cheeky.... Hahaha.
YES!!!
CHARLIE CHAPLIN! :D:D He has gorgeous eyes btw hehehe.
AND THEN ... WE SAW
BETTY BOOP! :D
This place kinda reminds me of the streets in USA (as showed in movies)
Yeap, we were waiting for our prince charming! Hahahaha, nah just kidding! We're only posing for the cam! :D
Arrived at the queue for The Shrek 4D show. The queue was long, but luckily it moves fast .... But we still had to wait. So while waiting .... ;) Yeah ...
PICTURES!
Like this picture! :)
With Dee :D
Dee took this picture while I was tying my hair :P My eyebags are horrible though, but I still like this picture.
That's how we look with the 4D googles! :D
The 4D show was great!!!!! First timers should totally head over to this side of the amusement park. You gotta experience it, at least one ;) You won't regret. Heh.
Headed to Monster Rock after the 4D show has ended.
While waiting for the show to begin...
Didn't take any pictures of the actors and actresses because we wasn't allowed to. But the show was great and the actors are all pretty gorgeous ^_^ (3/4 of them are Caucasians haha)
After the show has ended, we rushed to have another round of the blue coaster! Wow, the second ride was ... scary as well. Hahaha. But at least I managed to keep my eyes open at certain parts of the ride (thou I screamed as much and my legs still went "jelly" after the ride) :D
Saw this on our way to the water ride. Idk what are they called?
Robots.. ?
Since this ride (Accelerator) was near to Battlestar Galactica, and the waiting time was short (only 5 minutes), so Su and me decided to have a go at it. Deb and Dee didn't wanna try this ride as they've tried it before and thought it wasn't fun :P
Yeap, we're queueing for our turn! ;)
:D
With Su :D
It's our turn!! Yay. Try spotting us!
On the accelerator! :D
So basically, this 'cup' thingy will just spin and spin around for ... a few minutes? Yeah, it'll be great for those who won't get dizzy ;) And I'm one of them! Heh.
There! Safe and sound :) Hahaha.
As much as wanting to complete this whole blog post, I know I cannot because it's already 3:17am now and I have to sleep! So I'll have to break it up, sorry peeps! But I'm sure this post will last you for a while, because there's already 50 over pictures? ;) Yeah.
Anyway, you guys should go to USS if you haven't. The experience will be worth the money :D :D hehe.
Okay, till then everyone!
Toodles, xoxo.
