Sunway Lagoon!

Here we go. On the 31st of December 2009 (wah so long ago) a bunch of us went to Sunway Lagoon.

I got there at 1010 am, only to find out that THAT SMART FELLOW WEI CHUNG told Hou Yi and Rocky and Ah Yap to be there at 930 am instead. Hou Yi was so freaking pissed-ly mad at Wei Chung, I think she is STILL mad. And then Rocky got mad too, then Ah Yap got mad, and pretty soon they were all mad at Wei Chung. And then I got mad cos I had to wake up so early. Meh.

Anyway we all arrived eventually and we bought tickets, thanks to business-like as always Julie Ong who grabbed our money and went to stand in line while the less useful people just hung around talking and delaying everything. By the way I think Julie is very bu nai with me or something because recently she has been very quiet.

So in we went and we terus drop our stuff into lockers so we wouldn't be weighed down hauling crap all day. Boy oh boy, has Sunway Lagoon changed over the years. The last time I went was when I was in Form 2. Making that 5 years since I'd set foot in Sunway Lagoon. They have super cool PIN number lockers now! Wow! Also no more tacky paper wristbands to enter. It's hi-tech rubber, chip-encoded watch style wristbands now! *fangirly squeal*

Anyway, Ah Yap, Ken & bro (sorry, I dunno his name) and SeaChan were there to give us a bit of a SUPPLIES. Surprise, geddit? Never mind.

So in we went and we spent an entire day riding rides, splashing in the surf pool and screaming (Denice). I think the Scream Park was not very chi kek but I guess Xiang Ting sure thought it was. She closed her eyes and hugged Hui Ping the entire way and made ME hug her from behind too. o.O And the whole way we had to make sure Hui Ping didn't start throwing punches at the "ghosts" who disturbed Xiang Ting. Although I did hear later on that Wei Chung tried to punch one of the ghosts.

For one thing, I couldn't see for nuts. Then they took us to some supposedly "Prison Break" style-y place and they used so many strobe lights that I very nearly lay down on the floor and had an epileptic fit. *froths at mouth to prove point*

And THEN we tried to go on the merry-go-round (carousel for you posh types) but they said "Sorry, kids only", leaving us fuming in disgust. Also rode the Tomahawk! It was awesomeeee!! Oh, and for those who have not been to Sunway Pyramid in a long time, remember that ride, Pirates' Revenge? It used to swing from side to side, no? Now it does 360's too. Scared me at first. Also, when you are upside down and you scream, it makes your head wanna explode. I learned that the hard way so I could tell you all how it feels. Haha.

Went off to shower as per business-woman Julie's plan at 4.30 or so. We were supposed to meet Amelia, Andrea and Wei Yoong at Pyramid for dinner, but we wanted to celebrate Amelia's birthday so Wei Chung and Ah Yap were dispatched to buy a cake. Which could have been a big deal, seeing as how Amelia does not like cake. But we got brownies. Or should I say, a reallyreally big huge brownie the size of Iowa.

Anyhow. We were halfway walking in Pyramid, and being rather shifty, I might add, when we bumped into Amelia, Andrea and Wei Yoong. There was also this guy who nobody noticed at first standing with them. I thought he was a stranger when I saw him talking to Amelia, I was all "Woah! Do we talk to strangers now?" but he turned out to be Amelia's *ahem* friend, Xing Zhong. I hope I spelled it right.

So we went off to Sushi Zanmai, or something like that for dinner. Spent some time hanging about outside the restaurant while Julie went to line up. Then as we were taking some piccies, Julie stepped out of the line and came to take piccies with us! What gives?? So Wei Yoong asked her "Eh, no need to line up arh?" and she went "No lah, I no need to line up. See? I just sit here and wait." Phew.

Anyway we had dinner there (I had soba and Dragon Roll, yumyum) and we surprised Amelia (jeng3) with the brownie! And I think we amused the waiter very much, you could totally tell he never had any people like us to deal with before. Most of the time he just looked bemused. Especially when we told him to go out and bring the brownie in again. O.o

After dinner, we all split up to go...I don't know. Then Xiang Ting and Denice ditched me to go shopping, leaving me feeling rather put out and stuck with Wei Chung, Wan Chee (who was also put out) and Ah Yap. The Ah Yap went to Asian Avenue to play this weird dancing game in which you have to wave your arms around. Something like DDR but for the arms. @@

Anyhoo we went to A&W for some drinks and there we met Huang Laoshi and bro and Shin Yii Laoshi. Met up with the rest at 10.00pm and went outside to wait for the countdown.

But, funnily enough, Sunway Pyramid doesn't supply a BIG clock or anything like that to countdown. Au contraire. We had to keep looking at our watches to know the time. Anyhow, the remaining 2 hours passed filled with big huddle-style "meetings", yelling, carrying Wei Yoong, posing for photos, doing nothing and buying (me), hauling (me again) and drinking water.

And then finally they released the fireworks and everyone was so unprepared we just went "HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! AAAAHHH" and started spraying each other in the face with Crazy String and Snow Spray. And then Ah Yap hit me in the face with a FWOOSH of Crazy String and I ended up tasting some of it. It tastes like how it smells, for the record.

Went yumcha with the coaches, Wei Chung and the KL guys and reached home at 2 a.m. Also had a nasty hangover the next day.

AWESOME!
