USS!

4:18 AM

I am back with another post!!!!! I haven't been this enthusiastic about blogging for YEARS. Wow. Mainly cause so many pictures to share, that I cant bear to just leave in my phone. Partly why I have 1k pictures that is taking up so much storage in my phone.

I went to Universal Studios with Andrea and Adolphus, two classmates of mine in school! I sit next to them. The 3 of us are a magic recipe, because without either, I think it would so much more awkward. But with the third person, everything becomes much more funny and fun! This is actually our first successful outing!! Even though we spend practically every school day together. So we met early in the morning at 9.30am! Or so we planned, but I was late and we had to buy monorail ticket. We managed to reach USS at 10.10am! Pretty good timing!!!!! Let me share some tips when you are visiting USS. 

TIP #1 Arrive early!!! Opening time is 10am. 
TIP #2 Check for the shortest line when you arrive at the main entrance. It saved a lot of queuing time because Adolphus found the shortest queue. It's so saddening to see so many tourists at the entrance. 
TIP #3 RUN as fast as you can to the best rides/those that will have long queue!!! 

HAHAHA. That's what we did. Andrea and I have already been to USS a few times so we know all the good rides. We ran straight to Jurassic Park first to get on the wet ride, but it only opens at 11am. So we went straight to milder roller coaster at Far Far Away. 
Us!!!! We only had to wait 1 minute or something like that!!! 
The phone camera flips your photo to the other side so you get to know how you look like from other people's perspective!!! Snapchat's camera gives you the mirror image which will make you look better!! I think.

Next we headed for the new ride!! Puss in boots!!! It has been more than a year since I last came with Tammie and Sophia, so quite a few things have changed!!! It's amazing, it's like going to USS again for the first time :-)))
We were blessed with amazing sunny weather yesterday! Thank God! It meant being able to play the whole day and having great lighting for pictures :-) Nextttt we ran straight to take the Cylon!!!! And thankfully we ran to those rides because we only waited for 15 minutes to take the Cylon :-) YESSSS. After that for the rest of the day, the waiting time was >30 minutes! IT WAS SUPER FUN :-) AHHHHHHHH. Me and Andrea agreed that they sped up the ride, because it was noticeably faster!!!! Which makes it super fun :-) Thankfully there were no technical difficulties. Walked along Egypt back to Jurassic Park :-)
We arrived at Jurassic Park at 11.10am and we waited half hour for the ride??? This is why you need to run to get to those rides. This is us on our way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adolphus ordered sjora slushie and it was yummy! We went for the Canopy Flyer ride and I met this Chinese little girl who sat next to me. She had really pretty doe eyes and long curly eyelashes!!! She was really friendly too! Apparently a lot of people from her neighourhood (?) in Guang zhou come to Singapore. Her neighbor came to Singapore too. We went to Sesame Street, but the ride was closed... Oh well!!!!

Time came for lunch cause it was almost 1pm by then and our stomachs were grumbling... We initially thought of eating at the Malaysian Food Street because it will be way cheaper, but when we checked the prices, it was $7 for a plate of Hokkien Mee! We decided to eat at Ding Tai Fung instead, because the noodles were about $10 and it should taste way better. I thought it was really expensive, but I was also too hungry to argue hahaha. We were seated really quickly! The staff at the front were really nice, I was especially touched that they treated as real customers even though we're just teens and I was still wearing my cat ears. But!!! Don't eat at Ding Tai Fung, because the waiting time for food is 30 minutes! The food is yummy, but we were so hungry T_T Should've ate at RamenPlay or something T____T Thank God for the food though, it was really very yummy :-)))
Adolphus treated us xiao long bao yay!
My noodles! 
After the meal, we headed back! Andrea got slushies!!!!!!!! Hahahah, she put too much ^^^^^^ I got ice cream from the Fat Friar's, which is pretty worth it because the heat was blazing!!! I love this picture because we are all eating! HAHAHA.
Yummy good time :-)
A nice picture I was able to capture because of the good lighting that day :-))) YAYYY. I love the sights and sounds there, it's like stepping into a fairy dream land!!! AHHHMAZING. Ahhhh I really want to bask in the sunlight again :-( Can't believe this was just yesterday!!!! #10000thanksgivings

Next up! We went to ride transformers and the human, both of which thankfully didn't take too long. :-) We were really blessed! In all, due to opportune timing and definitely God's goodness, we probably didn't wait more than half an hour for our rides :-) <3 p="">
We had to leave early at 4.45pm so after all that we went to take photos!!! This is at Shrek's hut :-)
Cute Andrea! Look at that good sunlight ~~~~~~ :-D

At times like these, a selfie stick would be appreciated. HAHAH.
We took another photo at the minion shop!!! I have to mention this!!!! It's really fun to kind of guess the nationalities of the tourists!!! It was mostly tourists yesterday. The Japanese dress up in cute costumes!!! I saw a family decked out in minion outfits! So cuteee. Either that or they dress in conservative, but trendy clothes. Clean cut, tucked out shirts and bucket hats!! Hehehe. The Koreans are really trendy! They usually have milky skin and so many of them have that reflective sunglasses! They are usually so well dressed and cool ~~

Anyway! This is an unfiltered shot! I posted one on insta that I edited with vsco, but I think it's overly done. The thing about insta is that I have the pressure to make my photos look nicer!!! At least on my blog, I can talk about all the random stuff I find cute and post unfiltered photos. I did crop the photo though heh.
Love this photo with Andrea :-) Her eyes are so big!
DA BUTTS hahahaahaha. I feel like my little sister.. I told Adolphus about the minions' butts and he said, "Are you 5?" :-((( Close, I'm turning 18!

Cute picture with Andrea again yay :-)))

Ending off the post with the entrance to the puss in boots and some sights and sounds of USS. It's lovely there :-))) Actually thinking of buying the 6 months pass after my IB exams! It will only be $88! Oh I have a TIP #4! Buy tickets from Qoo10! We managed to get our $64! Initially it was $66, but we got it at $64 because my wonderful mum is a frequent shopper at Qoo10 and got us discounts :-)

Ah.. I should really be studying more... Blogging actually drains a lot of time! I wonder what is my word count for this post.... I feel it might be up to 1k... Lol.. Yeah. My hardworking friend is doing up lit notes as I type, so I better get going. I wonder if everyone else but me is studying.... Oh gosh.... I'm going to end with a beautiful verse!

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

*Time for dinner!!!!!!!!* *o*
