the not so far away land of singapore universal studio

finally the universal studio of singapore had launched which was followed by lotsa promotion from various travel agents.

the elders are mostly attracted to their new casino

while us the young ones are more keen on the universal studio.

now that they had this promotion:

free SDG10 if you're entering casino

free SDG 5 for food&beverage; SDG5 for souvenir if you're entering universal studio.

so we decided to go there on one fine day.

me, sis, mum and dad.

after reaching at the destination,

sis and I were hungry,

and many recommend this Loui's NY Pizza Parlor

they have a wide variety of traditional Italian pizzas as well as some local Singapore favourites including Hawaiian pizza, tandoori chicken pizza, vegetarian pizza and more.

if you're seeking for some combo,
they offer this combo which consist of
- a regular cup of coke
- a piece of pizza of your choice
and a piece of tiramisu
this combo is SDG10.90

can you see how huge it is??
we only manage to finish off 2 pieces of chicken wings,
1 piece of pizza, the tiramisu and half cup of coke each.

the chicken wings are superb!!
and it's not expensive at all.
almost the same price you got it from some chiplak food center here.

after stuffing ourselves with food,
packed the unfinished food,
we then wanted to start to have fun.

but sadly,
this is the time when the sky started to pour!!
so we're sitting at the kaki lima,
waiting for the rain to stop because not all places are with shelter.
and,
sigh..
there goes our mission impossible -->
to complete all the rides and shows.

big frown on our faces =(

the movie street

this is where:

you can see some of Universal feature films and props and get behind the scenes and see real film production at Stage 28;

Lights! Camera! Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg, a show where guests can be blown away by the filmmakers' incredible special effects as an empty sound stage becomes the setting for a major hurricane about to hit New York City

those are really worth watching.

so make sure you record down all the show times before you go for the rides.

it was basically pouring.

after thinking for awhile,

we decided to put on our raincoats.

it was a fun experience though..huhu..

and only til the end of the day we realized that we're the only two green girls out there.

while waiting for the rain to stop,

both of us were moving around and see what show can we catch.

and it was the 4D movie.

it was showing Shrek, with donkey sneezing and spiders brushing your feet.

but it was really fun and the 3D effect didn't got me dizzy this time.

both of us trying out the fiona princess and shrek's headbands.

it was funny that the color of the raincoats matched the headbands.

after the 4D show, we tried our luck on some indoor rides.

and yes, you should try all the rides!!

i only managed to try the revenge of mummy.

and it was FUN!!!

but remember to keep your bags in the locker first before you go queueing up.

WATERWORLD

luckily the rain had stopped after an hour or two.

and it's waterworld's showtime.

the crowd was scarily large,

all waiting infront of the gate,

waiting for it to release the seats.

the overview of the stage

do not underestimate the size of the stage.

it might looked small to you,

but you can never imagine how mind blowing the show is.

we were both still wearing raincoat,

why?

because....

the seats were divided into few sections.

the dry zone,

splashh zone

and soak zone.

so the audience get to choose their seats according to their own preference.

we had our rainncoat on, but we're not keen on getting soak,

thus we chose the splash zone.

i'm not gonna spoil the interesting part.

but this park is highly recommended.

watch it and you'll know why.

the JURASSIC Park

there are few rides which were highly reconmmended by my sis.

but the waiting time is just too long.

imagine you need to wait for an hour for a ride.

if it wasn't because of the rain,

i would had went and queue up but the rain took away too much of our time already.

guess i can only go back there again to try them out.

the FAR FAR AWAY land

after loitering around the FAR FAR AWAY land,

we moved to the next part which is the

still under construction's

MADAGASCAR park

the schedule opening is on late 2010

since we still have our SDG5 each to spend,

we basically enter each souvenir shop to hunt for our souvenir.

sis got herself a t-shirt the last time she came,

so she gave me her SDG5 this time.

frankly speaking, it's kinda hard to shop even with SDG10 in hand.

finally i got myself a notebook.

there are these little statues with some interesting statements

for example:

~hollywood best girlfriend~

~world's greatest employee~

dedicate to pinky =)

~hollywood best lover~

~hollywood best sweetheart~
and so on

it was actually my sis's birthday that day,
so..
happy birthday sis~
hope you enjoyed the trip that day.



ok, i'll make sure i go back there again!!
