Universal Studio!

Again, as I had mention earlier, this is gonna be a LONGGGGGGGGGG post!
Reader's hazard, please read at your own risk! For those who has oh-this-is-freaking-long-im-gonna-faint-syndrome, sry =D
This will be the sequel for my previous post.

So, the 2nd day, we headed for Spore's Sentosa Island!!
In there there's this world renowned spot called Universal studio..
Never to my wildest imagination that this studio thingy is actually more like some theme park
The entrance fee is 70SD, after conversion which cost me about rm150, OUCH!
But I can ensure you its worth thinning your wallet for this =)
Setibanya di destinasi tersebut~

This is actually a place where all the movies produced by the producer 'Universal Studio' comes together.
Before going there, I thought its gonna be some lame day keep taking pictures with some noob cartoon character, well, this US[universal studio] managed to prove me wrong! haha

I shall tell you guys what impressed me the most, because if I'm to list down EVERYTHING that i experienced there, you guys are gonna move the mouse the right top corner and left click. lol

i) Stimulus driven presentation.
We entered a place which looks like a warehouse, in front of us there is a pool of water, with some ships floating and opposite us there's a big monitor screen in the form of 3 big glass mirror, showing the view of NY city outside which is having a heavy storm.
It goes like this, as we enter the warehouse, there are slight wind and stuff, then there's an old fashioned TV in front of us saying that we are in NY city now and its experiencing a 3rd degree storm rage.
Then the TV [its actually a news program or sumthing like that.] announced that, the storm intensifies and it reaches a national alert of 5th degree.
And this is where the show starts, gale setting in, blowing of the ships and triggered some mechanism that made the pool of water [its actually just a section of river] BURST INTO FLAME!! And here i meant REAL flame, because i can feel the heat blast to my face! then, the window i mentioned earlier flew off, exposing the realistic view of NY city under attack by the raging storm! It all feel so real, there's even rain water drenching in, with the lightning and sound and heat and flame and all.. Its just, WOW!

ii) 4-D show of Shrek.
We entered a rather big auditorium, had our 3D glasses and prepared for the adventure ahead!
Upon entering the auditorium.

4D its just another addition of physical stimulus plus the already existed 3D.
But this 4D show is just SO REAL and surprising at every corner!
For instance, there's a part where there are a lot of spider dangle around and fall down, at that moment there's water squirting at our feet and with the realistic 3D effect the whole crowd goes *GASP!* hahhaha!! That was a real nice moment.
There's also a part where 'The Donkey' in the Shrek movie, at some flower and spit it out, the moment he spat it out there's water squirted at our face! Yucks! It's really real and unexpected haha, even the whole row of chair goes moving in a riding motion as the movies has a scene where Shrek is riding a horse, not bad huh? I would say its way better than genting's haha.

iii)Aqua-dunno-what show.
Alright 1st of all, please don get me wrong and I have to hereby reiterate that we are in S'pore, not Thailand! lol~
Its some water show with a story line. I'm amused by the way they present it and their coordination of the fireworks.

The setting of the show.
It's something like this :
A pirate go and steal some pearl from the hero and heroin, both of them fight and tadaaa, the justice prevails~ lol, quite short huh?
This show involved aeroplane, minigun, shotgun, grenades, rocket launcher, jet ski and highly flammable liquid. lol
Its hard for me to describe it all using words but all I can say is, AWESOME!

1v) The revenge of the Mummy!
This is no doubt the BEST rides I've ever had in my life! Credits to Mic Y for promoting this strongly to me in my chatbox previously haha..
The rain didn't dampened my spirit to play even a bit! xD

This ride, it introduced us a storyline before starting the ride, I think this is the main difference they have compared to other rides in other places. In other rides, they just give the thrill, the 'ooohhhs' and the 'aaaahhhhs'. But for this, there is some story for it and I find it quite, well, creative. haha
It involves rotation, backward sliding, sudden jerk and stop and stuff like that haha..
There's a part where we traveled to a point facing 3 sides of wall, and suddenly all those mummy bugs appearing and the coaster suddenly slide backward!
There's also a part where there's flame at the top of the wall where we are having our ride and again, its REAL FLAME because I can feel the heat blasting to my face!
Nice laa~~
Oh there's more, you know, there will be coordinator controlling the controls for all rides right? At there, before we start a ride they will have their thumbs up and smile to us saying have fun, and after ending the ride they will smile at us and clap hand! Able to find this in Malaysia? =)

v) The knight show
Its actually an interactive show between the audience, a hostess and the visual ahead. There's a screen in front of us showing donkey in The Shrek keep talking and interacting with audience with the aid of the hostess..
And the hostess SERIOUSLY reminds me of YEE THONG! Why?
-She has the same tiny cute eyes =p
-When she's saying something and try to be 'serious', she goes kerut dahi and give that eyebrow expression, ahh, hard to describe in words. haha
-She's good in English!
She really knows how to bring up the liveliness in the hall!
There's a part where she said :'Alright everyone, *in a very cheery tone* to experience The Knight Show in 3D please retrieve your 3D glasses underneath your seats!'
[Crowd goes searching under their seats, well, including me. Everything is possible in there you know. lol]
The hostess :'I'M JUST KIDDING!! MWAHAHAHAAH' lol!! damn!! wakanabeb! lol

vi) The monster's musical
It's supposed to be fun. Because its a bunch of zombies dancing hip hop and singing hitz song in rock and roll style, but too bad. I yawned and nearly fall asleep. Sorry xD

This is about it laa, for the other rides and stuff, its quite common and its not THAT thrilling.
Oh, I went Geylang that night, guess what I did? lol~
For those who dunno what on earth Geylang is, its a red zone. Go google about it, I wish not to further describe it here. lol.
Alright alright, stop fantasizing already! I went there for dinner, and the dinner was nasi lemak, lol damn, go S'pore to eat nasi lemak hahaha.
An incident happened there. As you guys know, there are a lot of China's Chinese immigrants in that area, and THEY THOUGHT THAT THEIR ROAD IS THEIR GRANDPA'S. So they tend to walk very out, and being inconsiderate to other road users.
There's this scene where one Singaporean terus honked him and walked out of the car and pushed him, lol, ganas punya singaporean eehhh...

Alright, told ya its gonna be LOOONNNG!! The last post will be on tomorrow!! That will be for my 3rd day! Trip in Malacca!! Alright, till then! have fun!! =D
