We pumped up our gas pedal at 6am in the morning frm KL to JB.The journey was pleasant until we actually reached JB.Little did I know,Sweetie Pie didn't even know the way to Larkin bus station!Don't ask me,Baby!I might have been raised in JB,but I'm not a true Johorian,I'm definitely the clueless one.He started calling all of his JB friends to ask for the way,well some were pretty informative but some were not.When we finally reached Larkin station,there was no such thing as an RM24 bus that goes directly to Sentosa Island,as we have been told!Whoever spitted out that wrong info,you're so gonna get it frm me!Anyway,we ended up taking an RM3.30 bus to Queen Street,Singapore.I'm telling you,it was such a hassle!Luckily we met a nice Samaritan named Pak Manan on that bus who guided us our way through.As soon as we reached Queen Street,he picked us the right cab which was willing to drive us directly to Sentosa Island with a very reasonable fare.Thanks,Pak Manan.We will always remember you=D
So there we were,finally reaching Universal Studios Singapore safely at approximately 11.45am.Yessss!!
Everything there was magical!We were like 3year old kids whom just went on our first trip to the funfair,the exact same reaction on our faces when we first reached Hong Kong Disneyland few months back too.Haha.What could we say,we still love amusement parks even at the age of 25 =D
Most of the rides there were thrilling and fun,definitely better than those at Hong Kong Disneyland.Our favourites were definitely the indoor roller coaster ride of Mummy Returns,the river boat ride of The Jurassic Park,and the Camera,Live,Action studio experience.The rest was ok,but not as great as those mentioned.The most disappointing part was that the Battlestar Galactica roller coaster ride was closed,due to some maintenance purposes.This morning Ibu told me that previously,one of the riders of the Battlestar Galactica roller coaster complaint that his safety harness was loose and he felt like he almost fell out of ride.So,I guess it explained why it was closed after all.
See that awesome roller coaster maze behind me?That was the Battlestar Galactica ride!Such a shame that it was closed right?
Sweetie Pie wishing it was opened.
Next to the awesome ride of Mummy Returns.
The Lost World of awesomeness!
About food,there were so many food courts around but our favourite would be the Drive-In Diner.The burger and fries were good and the environment was fabulous!It made you feel like you were at a diner back in the 70's/80's where the Pink Ladies and T-Birds of Grease would dance around!
Besides food and interesting rides,what else could be found at Universal Studios?Hmmm....the movie characters of course!
What else could be found at the streets of Hollywood of Universal Studio?The movie sets!
Lady cop on duty.Watch out!
Drill,Baby!Drill!!
Marilyn Monroe much?
Stupid colorful alien at Sci-Fi city attacked us!
Hollywood Boulevard
After too much shopping and spending our Singapore dollars,we finally headed back to Queen Street to take a bus back to JB.A warning : Cab drivers of Singapore are just as horrible as cab drivers in Malaysia.Most of them are liars!I'm too lazy to elaborate on that.No wonder Pak Manan advised us to pick the right cab in Singapore so that we wouldn't get conned.At Queen Street,we coincidently took the wrong bus back to Larkin.We picked the transit bus which happened to stop at all bus stops around Singapore instead of the bus that went directly to Woodland checkpoint then to Larkin station.So it took us 2hours frm Queen Street bck to Larkin.We were such bummers...*sighed*
Overall,our Wednesday of the week came out to be a memorable and tiring one.We had a blast and most importantly,I had a great advanced birthday experience.Thank you so freakin' much,Sweetie Pie!Next on the list,Universal Studios Osaka or LA!Well,probably when we already have tonnes of money saved =P
