Long day, and I have work tomorrow so I'll try to keep this one concise.
Went to Adventure cove with Sujandren, Jing An and Kai Hon today. Sad it was a few but many rides were dual so having pairs was awesomely convenient.
$36 for ticket.
$20 for big locker.
$6 nachos, cheapest ice-cream $3. Turkey leg $12.
Most slides were alright, but very short.
Let's talk about the best ride there, the one with the longest queue (forgot its name) next to the Dueling Racers (my 2nd favourite). Sharp drops and high speed, really thrilling. Me and Suji were just shouting throughout the whole journey. Dual seater, me sitting at the back and Suji at front. (I had been sitting at the front for the whole day because the heavier seater sat at the back and I lost scissors paper stone LOL but for this ride the heavier guy in front) Raged a lot because we waited 1 and a half BLOODY hours for it, we were queuing when the thing broke down. And then people with express pass have to add on to the misery by cutting the damn queue. Still got on it though so well, no amount of wait can compare to that shit.
Dueling Racers were like racing side by side with another guy on a mat. Really fun also, even though it's short as hell. If it slide left to right it will be insane.
Freaking cold too, light drizzle and sun, repeated cycle for a few times. Me and Sujandren were left freezing in the late afternoon because we waited 1 1/2 hours for the ride and the sudden rush of cold water left us reeling.
Sujandren had a mishap while diving into a 3.5m pool. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU ADVENTURE COVE WHY IS IT SO BLOODY DEEP (ok I understand it's diving but 3.5 is quite deep!!) He had leg cramp after he dived. Kai Hon had no problem but after seeing the depth I was nervous. I hadn't swum in a year (literally, really really long ago) and of course wild thoughts were in my mind. He was dragged ashore by a Caucasian and the lifeguard (the lifeguard waited for Suji to struggle 3-4 times before saving him!), Suji was ok. It could have been worse, I reckon, but this is bad enough for me and I'm grateful he's alright. Didn't dive in it.
Obstacle course 4m pool if you fall. Thanks ah Adventure cove. Went on the balance beam, skipped the 2 ropes one (KH and Suji were swinging like helpless bitches on that one. Serious doubt on my ability.) but I did the net one, piece of cake. Kh managed to ring the bell on a rope climb. (applause)
Snorkeling. Bloody hell. Ocean water (they had to use it to kepe the fishes) gushed up my nose and into my lungs and stomach and gullet and pancreas and everywhere. The snorkel mask was supposed to seal my nose, but I think a bit of pressure from my nose and water started to spam in. Drank in at least 3-4 mouthfuls of ocean water. I then took out my mouthpiece, struggled for air and slowly paddled my way. The sight was amazing btw. But fugging deep. But really a great sight. Suji had turned back and held me after swimming a short distance, he was still traumatised by the deep waters. I hope he is alright and can overcome this.
A bit late right? I should sleep now. Ate at Japanese food house (I think) at Vivo, in total spent up $60 - $70 over in a day.
Money is precious, life is precious too. Gotta be careful.
