27-05-2018 Bong & His Singapore Trip - Part 3: Universal Studio

We went for this Treasure Hunt ride

at Ancient Egypt theme zone~

The ride was pretty lame I must say

but OK lar,

reminded me a lot of the scenes from the movie The Mummy!

From Ancient Egypt,

we entered the Sci-fi City zone!

We walked very fast

through this zone....

because it wasn't much things we could relate ourselves to in this zone.

Last zone was this

New York zone....

We went for a show at this zone,

which at first I thought it would be 'boring'

because there wasn't many people queuing up when we reached.

This show is called

'Lights, Camera, Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg'

Very nice special effects of hurricane in New York!

After spending almost 6 hours

in Universal Studio,

we went back to our hotel to relax a little bit...

I wanted to have some ice cubes since it was so warm,

so I went to this ice dispenser to

get some ice cubes...

How funny...

the ice dispenser is not a machine,

but a room where the machine is placed inside. 

I spent the rest of the afternoon

at the Jacuzzi in the swimming pool,

while Arne and Eirik were

drinking at the bar...

not the one beside the pool but inside the hotel.

What a pity!

For the dinner that day,

I wanted to eat some korean food...

But in order to order/buy food,

you need to use this machine...

The machine wasn't working

and the lady on the counter spent time fixing the damn machine

instead of taking our order at the cashier...

So we went to the Malaysian

food court instead!

Food tasted good and prices were even cheaper!

After the dinner,

we realized that Universal Studio was actually still open!

The business hours shown on Google was wrong!

So,

we went back to the Transformer 3D ride

that everyone says

'YOU MUST TRY THIS'!!

Usually the queue must be very very long.

but since we went there during dinner time,

it was so quiet so it was great for us!

We waited for not more than 10 minutes,

and the ride was seriously AWESOME!!

We had like a sunset walk

at New York zone again,

and one last picture with Minions

before we left the amazing Universal Studio.

That's all for our day at Universal Studio,

XOXO

22-05-2018 Bong & His Singapore Trip - Part 2: ViVo City & Universal Studio

We had a simple dinner

at the basement food court

at ViVo City...

After the dinner,

we went to the roof top

for photo taking...

Arne and Eirik walked back to Sentosa first,

while I continued catching up

with Denise

at Starbucks....

This Sentosa free ride ticket

was included in the stay at Hard Rock Hotel.

So if you can get a promotion price like me,

about 700 Singapore Dollar

inclusive of 2 nights at Hard Rock,

2 tickets to Universal Studio,

2 tickets to S.E.A Aquarium

and 2 tickets to Adventure Core Waterpark,

it is very worth-it!!!

The next day morning,

we went straight ahead to The Forum

to grab some food for breakfast.

Besides people who were looking

for breakfast,

there were quite a number who were sleeping there too..

Lol!

Chicken Parmesan?

Where is the chicken?

Lol!

After breakfast,

we waited a bit until Universal Studio Singapore was opened!

The main entrance street

is of course,

full with souvenir shops!

We took a turn to the left,

entering the first theme zone...

MADAGASCAR!!!

The ride was actually just OK.

So if you are more interested in the thrilling kind of thing,

you may skip this one.

Then,

we came to this...

Far Far Away land.

I have actually never seen the movie.

But the 4D movie show at Universal Studio

was really amazing!

Next....

we entered a dangerous site!

The Lost World of

Jurassic Park!

This is a ride that

you shall not miss!

and don't forget to bring a cheap poncho with you...

These pictures tell you the reason why you need the poncho...

and wear slippers instead of short shoes!!!

Trust me,

it will feel much nicer just to have your slippers soaked

instead of your nice Adidas shoes!

Of course,

there are a lot of exciting rides

at Universal Studio,

but we were grown up adults that were not really interested in these!

From Jurassic Park,

we entered another world..

which was easily recognized just by looking at those statues!

To be continued...

XOXO
