2nd CA posting : The outing with my family
The day has arrived, I almost couldn't sleep last night, I was just so excited. Our very first extended family outing together of 2008. Though Uncle Jon is currently overseas for a business trip, I'm sure we'll still have fun, though jokes will be lacked.
The weather is looking really good, clouds block the sun occasionally, promising a day not too hot.
Everyone was punctual and ready to go. Once getting our tickets, we rushed in and started buying candy and enjoying our rides, though the queues could be annoying, the wait was worth it. My favourite was the Inverter. It would carry you high up and start spinning in mid-air, bone chilling and heart dropping but it was definitely a great experience for me. The girls had no sense of fun at all. All they rode were the Ferris wheel and the kiddy roller coaster. The adults on the other hand were a much better sport. Accompanying the daring children on the most craziest rides such as the Pirate Ship, the Rainbow and the Inverter. The go-kart would be my second all time best,as some of my shorter cousins could not clear the minimum height, I had to play it with my older cousins. We incessantly pictured the kart and the race track as Initial D's Irohazaka map. Just not as fast...
We then had lunch at Orange Julius after the rides.The rides stole some of our appetites though. I tried their speciality, their orange juice and it was simply heaven. It tasted so fresh. By the time we finished our lunch, it was already 2. And by vote, we decided to head to Singapore Swimming Club for a bowl and a swim. I never knew I was that bad at bowling, guttering 6 out of 10 of my bowls. Arghhh, even my 6 year old cousin beat me to it,well he had bumpers.
After my total defeat, all the cousins thunder balled into the refreshing cool waters, racing each other and having lots of fun. The adults didn't want to swim, instead they talked and watched us swim. Spoil Sports!! We had dinner there and played some arcade games before heading to Sean's house to watch The Spongebob Squarepants movie as requested by me!! It was totally hilarious. I laughed till my sides ached and i almost cried. Really! By the time the movie ended, it was already close to 10. Though we wanted to play some more, the adults insisted that we head home as we had already been out the whole day. Exhausted we were but there was definitely enough for us to play on. Oh well, everyone enjoyed themselves and I'm glad that all of us wanted another outing.
