ride warriors

i had fun in KD today!!! really felt like a guest, walking around freely in clothes other than khaki shorts, and without a broom and pan in hand :)) wheeheehee!

missed the 10.45am bus so went to get a smoothie and draw money fr wachovia, i hope they don't freeze my card again!! so we caught the 12nn bus and spent the whole afternoon in the waterpark. pity no photos, cos we were always in and out of the water and all our belongings were in the lockers. would have caught lots of fun and nice pics otherwise. when the waterpark closed at 8pm we went out into the dry park to play the rides, damn fun! hahaha. i sat the drop tower twice consecutively, and that's the ultimate. i don't rmb ever screaming so long and wholeheartedly! add that to my list of firsts. but it was beautiful, when the drop tower rose to the top. we could see the whole of KD and more. the beautiful beautiful SUNSET, freaking nice. streaks of RED in the sky, and trees and roller coasters like the sky flyer and dominator, and the eiffel tower of KD in the distance. it was really nice :) we sat the carousel too, felt like a kid but i always wanted to ride it! anyway today was a fun day, what with all the turkish lifeguards who recognised us and it was our turn to make fun of them like how the guests ask yue you and yue hao retarded questions when they're lifeguarding. i think i'm now officially immune to roller coasters and water rides, after the night slider and drop tower. i've ultimately overcome my fears and conquered KD! muahahaha. am proud of myself :) my only regret is not taking photos on the rides and of the rides. not enough photos to capture my experience in KD.

but i'll miss KD when i leave. no matter how tough life was sometimes, i'll miss the place. the place, the rides, the people. the scenery. the toys. (not) the food, but the cheesecake from 4 cornerstone cafe! (that's the employee cafe where i have lunch at every day)

ok now i should REALLY get down to packing. everyone else has started and i'm still too lazy. and i just need to reiterate my point that my off days are really more tiring than work days. i sleep later and still wake up early, then play more and sleep late again. i exercised so much today, climbing up flights of steps to get to the top of various water rides, then running around the dry park to cover as may rides as possible in 2 hours before the park closed.

here's what's left on my list, that i wish to ride again before i leave: dominator (front row and last row), volcano (front row?), flight of fear, backlot stunt coaster, anaconda, rebel yell, ricochet and hurler. oh ya and that weird swing thing. ok anyway i'm sunburnt despite applying sunblock in the morning, cos as usual it was hot and i heard the heat advisory again -_______- but getting into the water washing everything away and i feel mildly burnt and red now. only mildly. could have been much worse!

outside front gate, last saturday which was real busy.


buys from KD!!! i look so happy, cos of dear turtle which made my day :))
