rose up early in the morn and after much debating and hesitation, i decided to join the rest at far off downtown east to enjoy wild wild wet. free tix-who can resist?! haha.
but i say it ain't worth more than $6. the day started off with trina,shi hui,maricar,jes and i gathering together and blessing another fortunate person with the extra ticket we had. it went to this one malay father of 3 kids who was so grateful that he kept thanking us whenever we bumped into him inside which is alot of times seeing the place ain't exactly the size of the arctic. anyway,i conclude that singapore really sucks at themeparks or along this line. they try. really,singapore tries very hard. but it just ain't good enough. the rules are stifling.. we sat 2 of the huge slides that weren't exactly adrenaline rushing. it was more like an extended water slide with mere swaying and swishing from side to side. i was thinking,why did i have so much more fun at the cck swimmin complex instead even though it only had one slide? was it coz i was with the trackers? THEN i realised- no,it was coz it wasn't as restricting as it is here. see- u can only go down the slide one at a time and only when the other person is already out at the other end. u can only go down in the stipulated position and not in any other positions which means lying flat on ur back with ur ankles crossed and arms crossed across ur chest. pssh! back in cck the guys were literally zipping down the slide at top speed going head first and pushing aside the person or whoever was blocking in them infront and we got to go down together as a whole bunch so it was more fun to scream together. ok i suppose it isn't safe, but still.. safety over fun. hmmmm. oh wells. that's singapore for u- rules rules and more rules. not forgetting regulations. bah!
one of the better rides we enjoyed was the one right on top coz all 5 of us could ride together in the raft which had barely any water splashing except for the insane guy in charge of the station who tried to spice things up by pouring bucket loads of water on us before the ride and that was the only time we got wet during the duration of that station. -.-"" the extent of desperation. it's embarrassing.
nonetheless,credit must be given for the dunno wad ride that looked like a skateboard ramp albeit magnified 10 times. basically u and a pal go down a 2 seater raft seated facing each other. the start of it plunges u near vertically downwards and ur heart just shoots up to ur throat and ur brain gets left behind at the peak of the ramp u started at and u just scream like there's no tmr. well i did anyway. i really thought i was gonna die. the ride was so swift,scenes of my entire life didn't even have time to flash through my mind. that's how fast it is. anyway that ride is quite shiok,so u shld go check it out when u're there. tip: sit with ur back facing the ramp and it's less scary. trust me,i sat twice. i'm so courageous.
mainly,we just floated around in the wave pool and around the moat thinghy. and played with the lil water structures they had,splashing and shooting each other with water. and that's abourit. shi hui and trina practically ran to the ginormous yakult tub that was being pumped to the rim with water that would tip over and pour down its load once it reached its limit so that they could be one of the many blessed to undergo the baptism. -_-""" ok la,i also went,but i strolled there.. haha.
if not for the company.. it would have been an utter bore.
jolene craves for exhilaration.
after that we had a shower in the bikini babes toilet and celebrated ah hui and mother jes' bdays with the remaining $4 we had on the funkey by buying $4 worth of strawberry ice cream waffle.=)
lunch!
BLESSED 19TH & *COUGH COUGH* TO SHI HUI AND JES!!! PEACE conquers Wild Wild Wet!
memorable trip nonetheless..
didn't feel like going home after that so i popped by jan's house to bai nian. it's been a year or so since i last went in. this jan is extremely meticulous la! she's kept all the gifts and everything we've given her. and i keep asking her stupid qns like 'oh who gave u this??' then i'll get the -_-"" look before the reply- 'you,jolene goh ai ting'. heehee. no wonder it looked familiar la! ohh and i finally got to see her niece in person! cuteeeeeeee. at least she's not the bawling baby type,or i just was fortunate enough to not see that side of her so she's still in my good books. rest assured jan! haha.
oh next time i shall hang an abacus necklace around my baby's neck too,not coz chinese tradition stipulates that it means prosperity in the future but so that my kid will be able to count well and ace through maths in the future. heehee. hmmm..while i'm at it i might as well hang a magnifying glass so he/she will be good in science,and a theatrical mask so he/she will be passionate abt the arts,oooooooh and a pair of running shoes so he/she will be athletic and to round it off,i'll use a guitar string as the chain so my lil kid will be a musical genius. ohhh yeahhhhh.=D
was pouring thru the letters jan was eagerly showing me. love letters. transcended between her and linus. ok i didn't really pour thru them la. more like read the special few she plucked out for me amidst the hill of them and rolled my eyes and snorted at every other sentence. ok i did so discreetly..=D but anyways.. ok, guess linus ain't as cold and heartless as he appears to be or as i thought him to be. still i wonder if he's perfect for jan. he ain't mr perfect,but he just needs to try harder i feel. how is it like being in a relationship? does it get so comfy that after a long while u just take the other for granted? if loving her for who she is and not wanting her to change in any way yet imposing ur views and restrictions and disapproval upon certain actions that are entirely normal of a sociable homosapien.. can it still be deemed as loving her for who she is? she becoming ur first love..above God? not being able to live without her.. mere empty words that hold profound meanings at that point of writing time yet not really heartfelt at least 75% of the time..or if taken to the extreme can lead to dire consequences should something inevitable occur? i dunno. i just get the feeling.. is it all real? but i won't know the answer to that, for now only jan herself knows. maybe sometime in the future i'll be able to get some inkling of it.. i still feel that being in a relationship is like .. scary. it's somewhere in the unknown to me. looking at the people around me.. hmmmm. still.. it would be nice to just have someone u can call up at every moment u feel like complaining or tell excitedly about something knowing he won't mind that u're taking up his time..someone who will listen and laugh with u..someone whom u feel absolute at ease and comfort with..someone to just lean on and feel secure in..someone in mutual affection.. someone
