The day I became a tourist. Yes, I went to Universal Studios today. Very hot and humid, thankfully though, because it was raining the entire week. So today, the heavens decided to spare us. Wasn't that crowded in the day, but the night event was a whole different story altogether. The park isn't very big, and the rides ain't as fast as what you would expect, tame in fact. Wasn't that crowded for a Saturday, queue time was reasonably short, Jurassic Park rapids ride was closed for upgrading till early 2012, was a good experience overall though. Oh did I mention the Cylon ride in the night rocks? Totally different feeling from that in the day. 

The park was partially open with selected rides for the Halloween Horror Night event. Man, the horror wasn't the ghouls and zombies lurking in the dark corners, but the long queue and wait to get into attractions. Haha. Oh well, it wasn't too bad for a first attempt by RWS, but either they open more area of the part next year and spread the crowd, or risk the same thing happening again. They had employees stationed at the exit gathering feedback for the event, so hopefully they use the information wisely. 

On a side note, I have this unhealthy fascination with taking photos that are, lets just say different, read:gore,scare, you get the point. So I was pleasantly surprised that I had some very cooperative ghouls and spirits that obliged me with their best, or worse, side when I was attempting to capture them on film. Here are some of them before I head off to sleep. I think the Siamese Twins in the red light are kinda cool. :D

Gagaween. Lol.

Blizzcon

Like a little boy excited over his new toys..

Diablo 3, anyone? Hehe..



SC2, Heart of the swarm. Kerrigan is badass.. :)))



But seriously, WoW 5.0?!?! Running out of ideas? Pet battle system sounds so Pokemon. And tying subscribers down with a 12mth sub for WoW, giving them a free in game mount and D3, and guaranteed beta tester status for next xpac? You decide.

Oh well..

How to silence a Nobel Prize winning economist.

The first video is rather hilarious, yet at the same time you feel that this should not be happening to them. *shrug*

One of the worse sensations to feel while you are running is when you feel like passing motion. Especially halfway along the route with no end in sight.

*backdated to last night*

Lovely scenic morning run by the bay yesterday. Followed by a hearty breakfast @ Ya Kun in Suntec.

Dinner was @ this place, 7 Kickstart Brewiches, not too bad. A nice quiet place on a busy Sat night is always welcomed. Had drinks @ Loft before heading to the riverside. But it was cut short by the rain that fell shortly after. A long bus ride home completed the night, haven't done that in a while heh.

Cold wet day, hot coffee in the afternoon, topped off with a run under the cooling night sky. What a day.

Power run today with the usual gang. A mixed session of a little sunlight, cloudy day that ended with a downpour during the fourth round that had us giving it all to run to the shelter. Lol. Continued with static physical training on the grandstand before we made our way home after another early Saturday morning workout. The next one will probably be one to look forward to, the city skyline along the river. Hmm..

I know it is over, but Happy Children's Day by the way. There will always be a child inside everyone of us. :)

On a side note, seriously, what is with the big HOOHA over these. Stop living in the stone age. A so-called 21st century 1st world nation with 1600s mentality.
