Thirty-Nine
It's not like I don't have anything to write about these days. I do. It's just that, everytime I get home and switch on the computer, I get started on Neopets. Yeah.
That website. I got hooked again. It takes up a lot of computer time, and by the time I'm done with it, I can't be bothered to blog anymore. So there. That's my excuse for not posting these past few days.
First of all, before I forget,
a very important announcement! Credits to Nina, she has helped me answer the question: WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SHOWS NAME THAT GOES "WERE OFF TO SEE THE _ _ _ _". AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT _ _ _ _ ?! (If you don't get what I'm talk about, refer to post 'Twelve'). Well, the answer is.....
TIDDLYPEEPS! And the name of the show is
The Hoobs! Now
that rings my bell.
I know, I know, I sound crazy, but this is a big deal for me, so just go with the flow.
YesterdaySo Da Sistaz went to Escape, which was fun, even though there aren't any new rides, and my two favourite rides are under construction. Yes: no Rainbow, and no Inverter. We did get to ride the Viking this time, though, which was freakily fun. After exhausting ourselves on the rides and queues, we left for a mo and went... ice skating! Yay! That's one thing I can cross off my list. Sad to say, though, that I was pretty lousy on ice. I mean, I could stand and move forward, but with little speed and even less confidence. The rest were, of course, naturals. Kak Han and Nina were fast, Lily had great balance, and Marinah was going around helping other kids.
Yeah.
There goes my dreams of being a pro ice skater.
Still.
I try to hold on to the fact that I could race them all and win.
So long as I'm on the ground, of course.
Then we arcade-ed. I won at World Combat (tembak-tembak game), but lost miserably at Daytona (read: finished last), which I did not expect. I was doing so well at 1st place then ZOOOM Lily gi depan and then BAM Kak Han langgar me and I went flipping! So there was my car, bent bruised and shaking, but I thought, "Well at least I'm third."
ZOOOM Nina passed me. I was like
where did she come from?!.
It was a shocker.
I was very sad.
Then we went back and played even more Escape.
Very fun and very tiring.
Today I woke up with an aching body, but I had to haul out of bed because today was Forest Adventure Day! We scheduled to be there at 10, so we left with Mama and the rest who were going to school for the book sale (hawhaw). We went there with Kak Han's friend Am, who, when put together with Kak Han, makes for a very entertaining show.
The whole Grand Course is made up of 4 sites, but its really not too complicated. It's mostly clips, ladders, bridges, nets and ziplines. You basically climb up trees and move on shaky obstacle bridges from one tree to another, going higher and higher, until finally you zip down the zipline onto the sandbox, where you will either land on two feet or two buttocks. Your luck.
I don't care how out of shape I am, climbing up ladders is tougher than it looks. It's my least favourite part of the whole thing because the thick rope can really do a number on your hands. One of my favourite obstacles was the Tarzan, where you basically had to jump off a platform on top of a tree and just jump (with harness and everything of course) a couple of feet right into a vertically hung net. The jump is very sudden - you just dip right down before landing smack into that net. It was really fun, but I really really wish I said something other than 'OH MY GOOOOOOSSSHH!!' while jumping. I couldn't help it! Terperanjat! But best!
This is a small thing, but I loved the clips. You basically have to clip yourself onto wires to make sure you're attached at all times. You know, so you don't fall and die. It's just clipping and unclipping, hooking and unhooking, but I enjoyed it. It was nice.
Kak Han and Am were supervising us, so it ended up with me having to go first on all the courses, which was awesome. All the obstacles are really strenous, but the zip down makes it all worthwhile. Flying over the tree (yeah just one tree) and reservoir was just indescribable. I'd say fun or awesome, but it hardly does it justice. I wish there were more longer ziplines. Fun.
Then we went to TP, had lunch, and headed home.
I'm going to catch up on my afternoon naps now.
