who's up for roller coasters?

the adrenaline rush when u strap urself to the seat,

the increasing wild palpitation in ur chest as the train snails up slowly up the slope..... to a halt.

POUND POUND POUND

u brace urself

then

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ur internal organs feel non existent

the plunge is never ending

u feel like u'll fall off the seat anytime

when it kinda slows down a little, suddenly u're twisted sharply to ur right

and to ur left

a camera flashes (great. ugly photo >8S)

another plunge down the never ending slope of terror

up down left right twist loop de loop small plunges that make ur stomach lurch

suddenly it slows down

and its all over.

u come down with a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.

GRINS.

i dont have much of an experience to make a good comparison of roller coasters. but i enjoy riding on them. :)

have so far rode on

1. Berjaya Times Square's indoor theme park's

2. Genting Highlands cyclone and another-i-4got-the-name

3. Spore Universal Studio's Mummy Train Ride (i think it has a cooler name but i 4got), Human and Cylon

and Cylon wins hands down as most thrilling, exciting and full of surprises.

its an inverted roller coaster where the seats attach to the rail on the top rather than run on tracks. so it leaves ur legs dangling from ur seat.

has i think 2 loop de loops (360 degree turns) and gas effects along the way.

its the blue 1 in this picture. the red 1 is Human which runs on tracks and has plunges so steep i didnt have the nerve to go on it another time.

those were the highlights of the universal studios trip. which burnt a hole in my pocket. but was definitely worth it!

some pictures of my trip down south right after the grueling exams. Grueling not bcz it was really stressful. but bcz it stretched over 1.5 wks. which i guess is nothing compared to the other health science students who's exam stretches over 3 whole weeks :S

paper-paper-celebration-break -- paper-celebration-break -- paper-paper-celebration :D

i guess having 3 after exam celebrations for an exam lasting just 1.5 weeks is kinda.. overrated? that probably isnt an accurate description but u get what i mean. :P

Chocolate Souffle at the Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar at the Esplanade Mall. S$16. we all shared. u'd want to cz its extremely rich -no kidding- and pretty pricey. if u're a huge chocolate fan, its worth the try. the little mug on the right is a Hug Mug, called so cz of the shape. u can cup ur hands ard it for some chocolate warmth. :P

the New York theme of Universal Studios.

Egypt

Jurassic Park. This baby Triceratops is adorable. it can even lick ur hands. or bite?

with the hot Egyptian guy and girl.

Donkey from Shrek

night view while sitting by the lake waiting for the fireworks display.

awesome fireworks display. this 1's my favourite. the 5 balls of fire were just there rotating round and round with little sparks flying out.

stayed at the Footprints Backpacker's Hostel in Little India. i highly recommend this place :P cz its clean, has a nice atmosphere and interior designing and most importantly cheap. RM30 per pax per night.

met Carmen who's studying in NTU. thx for the awesome shopping expedition in Bugis! :D none of the girls left Bugis empty handed. hehe.

and the trip cont journeying up to JB. stayed at Tune Hotels. comfortable and cheap. also recommended. :) met Christine and Zara!

and went further up to Segamat bunking in at Shalisha's place. Her mum cooks really well.

chappati for breakfast!

met up with lovely qi wen who also stays in Segamat. thx for the treat!

laughed ourselves silly playing carrom at Sha's place. above is the sequence to who managed to flick a piece into the net. we look so happy here bcz the game was getting depressing cz either our targets were never accurate, the pieces were either jumping across the board or we were scoring for our opponent :S

oops sorry for the extreme deviation from roller coasters to my post exam trip. :P was an experience of tests, horror, thrills and fun altogether.

having 2 weeks of hols back home now :D Kuching oh Kuching.

and will be heading to taiwan for elective posting for 3 wks. any1 searching for elective posting options can consider the tzu chi hospital in hualien, tw. relatively cheap as its subsidized and a hospital that has very established palliative care and traditional medicine departments.

definitely high time for me to brush up on my Mandarin. hehe.
