This is the second time; I had the opportunity to visit the expensive theme park. In the morning, I took a bus to Mac Donald’s at west coast. Since I didn’t take breakfast, I choose to come one hour later (at 0920hours). At 0930, our GM took a simple speech, followed by a lucky draw. As usual, I wasn’t lucky enough to be drawn for any of the 20 prize on offer. But the management decides to give a consolation prize (shopping vouchers) to those who didn’t win from the above lucky draw, so at least I got something in the end.
At 10:00am, we took the pre-arranged bus to RWS and reached the place around 1020 am. It’s been raining for the whole morning, and still drizzling when we reached sentosa. We took a group photo with the big group.
After collecting the tickets, everyone dispersed to enjoy the visit. Since I was alone, I managed to get a few others (Alan Chim / Mr. Goh /Khor / Ah nai / Ms Jan Chan and a few others) to walk together. I felt fortunate to be in a large group (thus making the day more interesting)
For the whole day, we visited several place (7 places) of interest. I don’t think I should write all of them in detail, maybe just a few outstanding ones.
Firstly, we visited the “Lights, camera, action” by Steven Spielberg (some name I never heard of). The hurricane is pretty ok (looking a bit real), but I didn’t really get wet (since I was standing on the last row)
One of the most interesting parts is doing a few roller coaster rides (which I did not try up during the previous visits). The first is the transformers coaster ride. The graphics was amazing real (as seems the robots were so close to us). The ride wasn’t as scary as its looks (when some ups and downs and a few sudden forward surge and falling)
I have also tried on the roller coaster in the Sci Fri city. Its was to known to be the most challenging roller coaster in the park, I tried once on the “blue line” (I didn’t try on the red one).It was rather frightening in the initial 5 sec. I managed to grasp hold of the securing handles well, things are still ok. But I slightly twisted my neck in the process.
The third roller coaster was the revenge of the mummy at the Ancient Egypt. One of my colleagues (Benson) was being tricked to believe the ride was smooth with only forward and backward. The ride turns up with some scary fall and fires which nearly scare Benson out of his life. I got some scare also (but not as much as the previous roller coaster.)
Other than the above rides, we visit some shows. The most interesting part is the Shrek 4D, while the most boring should be Donkey Live (I guess). I didn’t do the Jurassic park ride (as I was afraid of getting wet)
Since there is no vegetarian, I just took some soft drink, and we spent most time hopping from one show to another, no one was willing to spare time visiting the souvenirs shop around the place, thus I didn’t buy anything either.
We ended the trip at 1730 hours, and from there I headed for home.
Looking backwards, I had an enjoyable day with my colleagues. I believe that good colleagues’ relationship is very important in any company. I started to participate in some of the soccer activities they organize (that is a nice thing)
Finally for the month of April, is the birthday for ruixian. I should just drop a note... wish her all the best. :)
