Guess what? I just ate half a small cup of milo powder the first thing when i woke up today!
So weird i know, and i made myself milo dinosaur yesterday!!
Okay my auntie made the milo, i just put it the milo powder.
So coool, the milo powder actually stays afloat, so freaking amazing!
Everybody say COOOL with me..."Coool" yeah that's the way!

Watched a couple of movie these few days


CLASH OF THE TITANS
If you've watch Percy Jackson and the lighting thief, you would have noticed a whole of similarities. But, if you prefer all of this Greek Gods and Olympus thing to be less modernized, Clash of the Titans is freaking awesome. I like the whole action scenes in this show, very well done. As well as the acting by all the casts! Especially, Hades(the one in charge of hell). He looks so mean and he looks like he really is from HELL!

Another movie that i caught was...

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID
This movie is freaking freaking freaking cute and lame!! I feel that there is no boring parts to this show at all, all the scenes are funny in some way. So if you are in need of a good laugh, go watch this movie.

6th of April was Angelina the pig's birthday! And we had a wonderful surprise for her!
It's none other than a BBQ at East Coast Park!

Have not been there for a while already and it was quite a nice feeling to be looking over the ocean with fun people!

So, Angelina was supposed to go cycling with Cheryl, Sophia and Rachel there and of course, she had no clue we (those people below in the photos including Elijah) were going to be there! At the BBQ pit, barbequeing.

But, we were there early so photo time...

HAHAHAHA FAILED JUMPSHOT. LOOK AT OUR BUTTS!!! WHY IS IT BLUR??


With the wind blowing against out faces

Just when Elijah was about to take the pic, something stung me at my toe..grrr

There are actually more photos but the uploading time is taking far too long for me to remain patient so I GIVE UP.

The food came and we started setting up the fire........
.
.
.
.
And it was a long and gruelling task I tell you.

We had to battle against the wind, the lighter that did not want to cooperate with us and the heat from the lighter.
And this whole fire experience was a super funny one! Experimenting with different methods to get the fire started, borrowing an exact same lighter from someone else (-.-) and obviously it didn't work, shifting to a less windy place to start and using up all the fire starters!
Finally, after one long hour, we HAD FIRE!!!!!

*make cavemen sounds*

Angel arrived and it was a pleasant surprise!
Eat eat eat, BBQBBQBBQ, eat eat eat and fire suddenly died down.....NOOO so what else could we do but dance the FIRE DANCE hahah

*oogashaga oogashaga oogashaga ooooo*

Surprisingly, it worked! so people out there, when fire die on you, dance the fire dance!

Eat some more till my stomach exploded and packed up...
Although, i was tired, i was very active. I don't know why as well, too much sugar causing sugar rush perhaps?

SO HAPPY 18TH ANGELINA FOO!

Universal Studio!

The title states universal studio so this post is obviously going to be about that, but before i start the post i wanna exclaim how sad i am that ROB is out from survivor!
I can still remember the last time i had that kind of feeling was when Rob and Amber were eliminated from the amazing race.
Oh my, that feeling is really saddening, especially when you have been rooting for that certain person since day 1 but what to do, got to accept it.

Well, sad things aside, the night at universal studio with Elijah was freaking cool! My mom managed to purchase two tickets, each at a price of $25 which was cheap compared to the $60 entrance fee. But, we could only roam the area from 7pm-11pm and there were only three rides open.


It was quite hard taking pictures with the rotating universal studio globe. Firstly, there were so many people wanting to snap a picture with it and you had to wait for space. Next, it kept spinning so you had to be fast, which was hard because you would want to take the perfect picture, but since the perfect moment comes fast, it goes away fast as well. So if your camera skills are not that good and you have no sense of timing, you will probably take a lousy shot.
Outside of the entry gate or whatever you call it.

BY THE WAY, if you are planning to go to universal studio and if you do not want to know anything about it in order to be completely WOW-ed by the place, My advise, don't read anymore :D

Okay, so the place followed 7 themes ( Hollywood, Madagascar, Shrek, The lost world, Mummies, New York and some sci-fi thing)
So as you walk down the path, you will be greeted by the different settings following the different themes.

First up was HOLLYWOOD! not many pictures though

Next up came Madagascar! Say Hi to Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria!

I was standing in front of a ride but we could not ride it since it was not open for the night entry :(
Shrek!
Shrek's house? I think. Eli said it was though.
In front of the line up for 4D shrek (one of the rides, not really a ride though, that we could take). Awesome!!
Very creative and since it was 4D, they actually played around with your one of your senses, touch! There was this scene where the donkey(ass) started sneezing and water was being sprayed on your body! Everyone screamed! It was so funny!
And when the horsees started galloping, the whole chair started shaking in a rocking manner. Oh, and there was another part when there were many spiders coming out of the screen(3D) towards us and suddenly, they fell downwards of the screen.
Guess what's next? Some thingy touched our feets! Obviously we assumed they were spiders right! and i dare not put my feet on the ground!

This was a setting for the show called "waterworld". It was shown at one timing so everyone was there to catch this show. There was a storyline to it and the casts actually performed death-defying stunts (like jumping into the water while standing very high up and they had no harness or anything) while acting out the whole scene. The casts were really believable as some of them had to act bad-ass like pirates trying to find dry land. There were fires and loud explosions involved and all these always had to happen at times when you least expect it. Startled.

Me and Elijah were seating at the SOAK ZONE (first few rows) and we were considering whether to purchase ponchos since the announcer kept mentioning that we might get completely wet. Eventually, we paid $3 for two ponchos. What a great way for them to earn money la cause in the end we were not that wet -.- and we threw away the ponchos too cause it was stuffed up in my bag and it was very irritating.

After water world, we knew that majority were definitely going for the MUMMIES ride so we decided to be kiasu and chiong there!

Freaking cool and gigantic settings. It kinda gives you the creep..
Entrance of the mummies ride...I was scared man cause it mentioned drops and i am scared of drops. But well, just try laaaa, if not what else to do ma.
The ride was AH-MA-ZING!! Actually, elijah told me what was going to happen already but it was still great.

Firstly, they started slow and by the sides, you could see some scary artifacts and wax figures. The ride continued going slow and suddenly you realised that there was a wall in the front (meaning the ride could not go in front anymore). So, it stopped.

Next thing you know, the whole coaster started moving backwards VERY FAST AND DROPPED. OMG. I WAS TAKEN ABACK! so it was at this speed all the way ( we were still moving backwards) until it stopped suddenly. Just when we thought it ended............

The coaster turned to face the front and started moving at turbo speed again!! My heart dropped. Still, super cool. We cheered at the end of the ride! Talk about enthusiastic.


Far, far away..(shrek)

While waiting for the next ride (Enchanted). It was a junior ride and finished in, I think, less than 20 secs. LOL but still fun.
With Shrek and Fiona. Yes, i know its blur. But, there was a professional photographer there and our picture was taken by him as well. There was a booth by the side where we could collect our pictures! FREE OF CHARGE WEEE
Guess how much is this cookie, the size of a palm??
.
.

$3? No.........
.
.
$4.20!! So ex!
Actually everything's pricey. The chicken rice we ate for dinner costed $10 bucks per person!! Thank god for food vouchers, $10 voucher each person somemore. Free dinner ^^

So it was 11pm and we had to leave...aww

Madagascar's ship. Damn big. Look, even taller then the trees!
Bye bye Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria. We will see you guys again!
There was this cute little store selling churros. How rare to buy churros from this cute little store! Moreover, chocolate churros!
Yummy huh. And that's the end of this great adventure to US....... But, i dont wanna end this post with Elijah's face so
