Saturday, June 24, 2006 Wet, Wild and Fun will be the 3 words to describe my week. I had the most enjoyable time for the past 2 weeks. YiPpY!!!>>>
Last Thursday, Me, Charmaine, my brother and my cousin(ena) went to Jurong Swimmming complex for a day of fun-filled activities. It was Char's 1st trip there but not mine. I've been there for at least 20 times??!! There were slides (Red, blue and Yellow), Lazy pool (closed for maintainance at noon. refer to photo below) and wave pool (man made wave will be activated every half an hour). I left out the kiddy pool cos it's only open for kids 12 and below.. so we're kind of over-age. We had lots of fun despite only the four of us playing, exclude my mum who was there to look after our stuff and buy lunch for us. The slide was where we started out our day. Lots of stairs climbing and shooo... in less than a minute we are out of the slide, into the water... tiring but shiok.... i think i've climbed 20 storey on that day itself. Love and hate the yollow slide... it's the shortest slide but the fastest... not advisable for the weak heart. Wave pool had the greatest after effect on the 4 of us.. We could still feel the wave motion when we were in bed that night. Overall, we spent $0.80 per person to enjoy 8 hours of fun. Next to come.... Wild Wild Wet. Known by all the largest water park in spore and also the most expensive one... Well my aunt treated me, my bro and Char to accompany my cousin there. It was my first time trip down to Wild Wild Wet. We paid $50 for the enterance fee and $30 on food. This time round it's $80 for 8 hours of fun. Wild Wild Wet really ensure the safety of their patrons by employing so many life gurads. Most of the life guards quite handsome. They also know how to entertain the ppl queuing with their jokes and water splashing. One commendable life guard will the the first life guard staion at the Samsung Slide up. Me and Char had to carry the bulky float up to the third level. Being a first timer we didnt noe how to carry that big float through a narrow stair. Thus by the time we reach the 2nd level we were already panting like mad. The life guard stationed there quickly came down to help us and teach us to carry the float over our head the next time round. There we were 3 storey up on a blue double float. Hanging there for our life by the lifeguard. Without warning, he released his hand. Before i heard myself screaming my head off, the lifeguard said: Enjoy your ride. There the 2 of us went down the 90 degree slope carrying me sreaming and Char laughing. Even the life guard at the bottom of the ride thought that teh ride could have disconnected some wires in our brain. Fun, excitation factor 100, my favourite ride. Imagine plunging down a four-storey ramp, accelerating until you hit the deck and skim across to soar up the opposite side. It repeats several times until your momentum runs out! The next ride on my favourite list is the Ular-la. A 6 seater float and a hell long bumppy slide. Ular-Lah is a super flume ride that offers you a chance to brave the rapids with five other companions. Ideal for thrill and adrenaline seekers, it's the closest thing you ever experience next to white water rafting! Along the way, our float will turn and move side to side on the slide. it's the best when u have your back facing the down slope. Real exciting and excitation factor 85. Well, this ride had a bonus point. The life guard stationed there was tan, tall, HANDSOME, and last of all i love his smile.... He never fail to smile at every rider and he entertained us well. There were other rides like the shiok river (Take a breather, go with the flow, and let the trip wash away your cares. A great way to escape from all the commotion and noise of everyday life.), Water Works (Suppose to be fast slide ride, but i was a little slow on the slide), WALL'S TSUNAMI (i still prefer the wave pool at Jurong with the frezzing man-made rain), YAKULT PROFESSOR'S PLAYGROUND (They didnt state the age limit plus we saw lots of adults in there so me and Char just went in. Playing in there really brings out the child in our heart.) and SKYRIDER ( i enjoyed the relative tranquillity of gliding five metres up in the air as we cycled one the track) I should say that Wild Wild wet will be a place to go if u're looking for fun, excitation, good service and also the handsome life guards(not all of them). Furthermore, there is a promotion now. $45 for a unlimited enterance pass to Wild Wild Wet and Escape Theme park. I'll be getting that the next time i pass by downtown east. Cant wait to go there again. Btw, I just realised that my school only starts on 7 Augest, i still got 1.5 month left to slack and shop and play before the studying routine returns.. Gtg... wanna play The Sims 2. YueN signing off... Raining |
