Just came back from class chalet at Sentosa! Was feeling dead tired after not sleeping the entire night, but my nap after I reached home only lasted a mere 3 hours :(

We were really blessed with good weather, and I spent the afternoon with the girls by the beach side taking hilarious jumpshots with my polaroid. Then meeting up with the other classmates to chill and talk.


Chalet was so tiny it was more like a hotel room, with only 1 queen sized bed and a toilet lol. So people were all squeezing on it trying to watch tv, play dai dee, snack and getting sand all over the floor and bed.



We didn't had a BBQ, and most people left on the first night, so the rest of us were shuffling between sleep, talking, snacking, watching trashy shows on tv and finally concussed in the morning. Amazing how the entire bed could fit 5-6 people to sleep.


Seemed like we didn't do much the entire 2 days, but at least being in Sentosa made us feel like we were somewhat overseas. And love the girls for the company :)

And mummy and bro!!!


Didn't quite know what to expect because knowing that most of the rides are catered for kids, I still hoped that it would be very fun. But very thankful that we were blessed with good weather the entire day!

Getting a little excited at the entrance cus the park looked really huge and there were 40 over rides to cover.


But Legoland was really really crowded today, everywhere was filled with people. Had to skip the first few attractions, before deciding to go on the Dragon Apprentice roller coaster ride even though the queue was still really long.


Only until the point where we reached our turn, then we realised that we were not queuing for the most thrilling roller coaster. But we started with the more chillax one anyway.

Lunch was cheese sausages & chicken leg with fries at Knight's Feast. No pictures cus everyone just started eating. Drizzled a little but it stopped before we finished our lunch so all was fine.


Then we headed for the Dragon's Kingdom roller coaster (this time the thrilling one!!!) right after lunch since the queue seemed shorter, and we used queuing time to digest our lunch (which thankfully did not turn into indigestion due to anxiety and stomach churning).



Us while queuing...


I think the Human Ride at USS made me much braver, because I didn't feel as nervous as before. But nonetheless, still screamed really really loud. I remember feeling so tired from screaming halfway through the ride, but not doing so made me scared.

Headed for the 4D show after that. Don't understand why it's so highly raved about, because it wasn't interesting at all.


Queue was long, as usual. The holding area was so crowded and humid, and we had to squeeze like sardines for a good whole 20 minutes before we could enter the theatre. People were pushing, and I ended up sitting alone. There wasn't sufficient / helpful staff on site either.



Show wise, I was expecting much more effects. How can the chair not move when it's a 4D show!!! Cus I was sitting on the last row, we (plus mum and bro) couldn't experience the water effects either.

So much thoughts for a 15 minute attraction lol.

Only the kids enjoyed it very much. Good for them.




Scorching sun calls for some Ice Cream to save the day!


Was very sad that this water slide attraction was not open due to unknown reasons!!! Boooooo.


Moving on...

We spent some time at MiniLand, taking photos of all the famous countries landmarks. Probably the only place where you can see a lot of lego bricks in the entire LegoLand (apart from the few lego models pictured above).

Ain't a huge fan of legos, so they don't excite me as much hmm.



But the MiniLand on Singapore was done up quite beautifully, featuring our CBD area, boat quay and Singapore Flyer.





Didn't have much time left so we decided to go for our last attraction, Project X, the last roller coaster in LegoLand.


Had to queue for a good whole 1 hour, and we were all tired and aching like old women. Plus the ride had technical faults, so many people gave up and left, while we waited and waited for them to get it fixed and tested before the queue started moving again. By then we were all too exhausted to feel nervous for the ride.

But when we got on the ride, we started screaming again lol.

Spent our last half an hour visiting the gift shops. Got myself a huge Cookie Monster Sundae while waiting for the rest, and sitting on the floor outside the shop with mummy fanning ourselves cus we were dying from the heat.


And that concludes our 1 day Legoland trip!

Frankly speaking, Legoland fell below my expectations. For the entire day (about 6 hours), we covered only 3 rides and 1 show.

The entire theme park wasn't full of lego bricks as how its name suggests it to be. Other than the MiniLand, which forms the centrepiece of LegoLand and an occasional few lego models around, it doesn't form an impression that you are in LegoLand. Rather, it easily feels like any other theme park you can find anywhere.

Probably also because there ain't any significant characters that LegoLand is linked to, unlike Disneyland you have Winnie the Pooh, and USS you have transformers, etc. There isn't a storyline attached to the entire theme park.

Even though I said we were blessed with good weather (still very thankful for that!), but the queuing areas were really way too humid, and the few number of fans weren't much of a help.

Wouldn't think that it would be unfair to use USS as a benchmark, since both theme parks are well known internationally. But for the same price, I would definitely prefer USS hands down, in terms of level of interest, appeal and welfare for the visitors. Yes, LegoLand needs to improve on their toilet cleanliness. The stench is very very bad.

Probably have to choose a non-peak season the next time if I'm ever visiting again.

Seemed like I wrote a rather negative post about LegoLand, but...

Nonetheless, am still thankful for this opportunity to spend a good day out with my girls and my family, making this a memorable last Friday of 2012!

Ending the post with our ultimate sticky and tired picture of us... ;)

Woohooooooo our ticketsssssss


My tour guide for the day ♥

Don't know why he's looking so serious... when we were just following the path hahahahaha



Watched Donkey Live and Shrek 4-D, and here's my future home ^^


Love this pictureeeee



Then we came to Jurassic Park and I was happy cus I could finally take my water ride!!! I've been seeing the advertisement on TV, I wanna take it so bad! But the boy insisted that I will get wet, and I had no "protective gear" so we couldn't go and I was sad :(


So instead we went to the stupid canopy flyer omg hate it hate it. It started flying, I thought it was supposed to be slow and I screamed like an idiot. It's supposed to let you see a bird's eye view of everything, shouldn't it be slow and crawling??? And I couldn't scream loudly cus I thought it'll be embarrassing in case people heard me.

Then after that, the boy said we'll go for the water ride cus he said he'll buy me a poncho yay!!!!!!

But... the stupid vending machine inside wasn't cooperating and refuses to eat the money nor dispense any ponchos so we had to go on the ride without one. Until... the boy went to ask an auntie who just came back from her ride if we could buy her poncho, and she gave it to me for free! Omg so nice of her!!! But we threw the poncho away after that. Ultimate regret! Cus I forgot that we may go on the ride again, or at least bring home something from USS!!! Oh well...


But who knew... I ended up sitting in the middle and I could be totally dry. LOL the one who's totally wet is:


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But but they have drying pods to dry you at a hefty price of $5 whut, I wonder why people pay for it. Not like it's gonna make you smell nicer after being splashed by smelly water (omg it really stinks) and the sun's scorching hot, you will be dry in no moment for free!


YAY fun ride fun ride!!


Egypt egypt egypt! Went on a treasure hunt jeep ride to dry the boy up!


hahaha my mustache man staring at an invisible man


And it was time for the mummy ride!!! Omg I was freaking out and thinking what the hell I was doing my life to scare myself like this. Apparently some ang moh also injured his neck from the ride o.o

Also there was not much crowd in the entire USS, we practically didn't have to queue for all the rides. We just weaved through all the queuing lines, get on the ride and get zoomed away. No time to prepare myself!!!


Shut my eyes and screamed really loudly ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the stupid boy said his ears hurt wth.

So we caught some street dance performance to chill~~~



Once again, no queue!!! What a surprise!!! Totally empty!


Never watched transformers so I didn't know who the characters are, or what they were doing. Just a bunch of metal hitting each other hahahaha. Still love Japan's Spiderman one the most!!!

Had churros, and chilled somewhere cus I wasn't feeling so good after the Mummy ride @.@

And we realised it was kinda early, we sort of finished touring all the areas in 4 hours!


Then... it was timeeeee for Battlestar Galactica...

Okay, confession to make: I wasn't exactly VERY exctied before coming to USS cus I was contemplating for a long time whether I should take the Battlestar Galactica. Truth be told, I haven't exactly taken a roller coaster ride in my entire 19 years of life because I have no guts and I'm scared of flying in the air at high speeds (other than an aeroplane, that is).

After thinking for a long time, I decided I'll go for the Human ride so that I make my money worth. I watched and observed many times how the stupid ride goes before I went on it, so to be sure that I won't get a heart attack later on lol. I sound so stupid.


I kept hugging the boy before the ride, and also secretly hating him inside for making me do this and told him not to talk to me hahahahaha. Good thing the entire row only had the 2 of us, because I know I screamed really loudly AHHHHHHHHHH.

Had to nomz after that cus I was finally feeling hungry after 1 whole day and this few pieces of chicken fingers is soooo expensive, but tasted so good ^^


Caught the WaterWorld Show pewpewpew~


And... guess what.

I decided to be courageous again...

And went for the Human ride the second time lolol. I already told myself I'm never going for the Cylon ride and the boy can go take it by himself all he wants, and enter the single rider lane lol #emo

So we both went for the ride again... This time feeling not so scared anymore~

But I still screamed really loudly hahahaha. There were a bunch of kids behind me, I thought they will scream with me, but they didn't. So I guess I was the only one screaming throughout the entire ride. I should get Best Screamer Award.

~.~

The best thing was that I saw a flash from somewhere during the ride and thought it was lightning so I screamed "GOT LIGHTNING" and went back to screaming. Until the boy told me the flash was from the camera lololololol #stupid #bimbo

Here's me with my photo of achievement lolol


Done with all the rides, so we walked around, caught shows, enter all the shops to squeeze the soft toys and gasp at price tags, so that we can maximise very single minute till they close lol.

Hi, meet my prince charming hahahahaha ♥


Was dying by end of day, making circles in USS for 8 hours.

But nonetheless, thank you ♥ for making my day!!!
