Universal Studios Singapore ! - Day 2 (:


U.N.I.V.E.R.S.A.L S.T.U.D.I.O.S S.I.N.G.A.P.O.R.E - DAY 2 !(:

Hooorraayyy ! Today was the most awaited day of all. Advertisement " Resort World Sentosa Singapore,, A Million Moments, One World " So, let us tell you our journey !

On 2nd Day, we woke up as early at 6.00 am and hence get ourselves prepared for the day. To arrive as early as we could, we sacrificed our hotel's breakfast coupon  and headed straight to the Immigration that morning. See ? How excited we were -.-' Thankfully, today's journey was eased. We left Johor around 8.50 am and arrived at 9.20 am in Singapore. Right after passing the immigration, we headed downstairs to wait for the bus, the same bus we alighted from Johor to Singapore. However, we waited for a long time for the bus to come till finally we sighed -.-' Then, we saw a RED double-decker moving swiftly into the terminal ready to fetch up the passengers to Sentosa (: finally ~ Consequently, we alighted the bus hence arrived in Universal Studios Singapore around 11.35 pm and we were exuberantly excited that time (: So, let us begin our pictures of the day (:

Having snapshots at the pre-entrance of Universal Studios's turning globe (:
 Feeling too excited, we dashed into the USS (:

Endless excitement :D on the way to start our very first steps (:
EXCITED AND EUPHORIC :D
Our first spot was New York (: Yeaah, NYC - New York City ! (as if) The only attraction located here was Lights, Camera, Action ! Hosted by Steven Spielberg (: we were played with a short video clip hosted by Mr Spielberg on how the Universal movies were added with combination of sound effects and settings that made them real to your eyes. Then, we moved to a room where we were blown away as an empty sound stage became the setting for a major hurricane about to hit New York City - right before our eyes :D - it was INCREDIBLE !

See ? One of the movies, Jurassic Park.
Pictures show how do we wait patiently and excitedly to get into the SHOW :D

For the second spot, we went to the Sci-Fi City. A spot that offers all those kind of robotic attractions (: Firstly, we rode the TRANSFORMERS The Ride : The Ultimate 3D Battle. Indeed, the ride was truly awesome. It was as is we joined OPTIMUS PRIME and the AUTOBOTS as we became a freedom fighter in the ultimate 3D battle against the forces of evil. No words to describe, you have to feel it by your own :D Afterwards, we then rode the most thrilling ride in the Sci-Fi City, the most favoured attraction in this spot. We first rode Battlestar Galactica : HUMAN, which was the RED track roller coaster. Zooming at speeds of 82.8 km/h, this seated roller coaster narrowly avoids collisions as it twists, turns and propels us over 14 storeys into the air ! The only things we did, SCREAMED and ENJOYED :D Continuously, we then rode the next Battlestar Galactica : CYLON which was the BLUE track roller coaster. This suspended roller coaster goes up, around and upside down with an intense corkscrew and a cobra roll - really daunted us, but somehow, we never felt enough (:

Okay ! And that part was the part that we will never forget. Demanding for more ! After the thrilling moments, we continued or walks to the .. Ancient Egypt ! We were brought to the past by a time machine and we met two Egyptian Cats who really worn a fierce look ! So, we took a snap with them. After that, we rode the Revenge of the Mummy ride. 14 of us queued in long dim-lighted and dark lane before getting into the ride. We plunged into total darkness on this indoor roller coaster as we came face to face with warrior mummies and scarab beetles. The motion of the ride was thrilled with sudden plunge , forward and backward acceleration :D However, we never get what was the full story during the ride. We only knew that we (riders) had to find the Book of Living while Imhotep was insisting that we will never find the book ! :D So, here's the Egyptian curse "Akudei makrraken ra!!"

Some of the scenic views we thought (:
Photo snaps with the fierce looking Egyptian Cats ! Roooaaarr :O
we are temporary Egyptian (:
yeah, there ! The Egyptian Cats !
And that was we called the FIERCE LOOKING Egyptian Cats :O


Enough with the Ancient Egypt zone, we flew away to The Lost World zone ! Since the Water World show was about to run, we quickly ran towards the incident place where the show was going to take place (:

Lively faces going to watch the show !

Other Pics : What was happening during the show, stunts and actions ! Water splashes !

Someone was just  amazed for what was happening ! Mustafa ..

The water show was just spectacular and wondrous. We had our time by witnessing the death-defying stunts, awesome explosions, BBOOOM ! and thrills at this sensational 'live' water show. Seriously, just amazed :D

In the same zone which is The Lost World, we then intended to have an adventure in the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure. We enjoyed the thrilling river raft ride through primeval dinosaur habitats where we got wet and nearly possibly soaked ! pheuww, luckily we are not drenched (: especially when the raft was descending down a flume of raging water ! whoosh!

Jurassic Park (:
Jurassic Park  Rapids Adventure (:

Alright ! Since we were fortunate for not to get entirely wet, we then entered the Far Far Far Far Away Kingdom ! ( 'Far' only twice T.T ) However, for sure, we didn't found any of the Disney's Princesses for they were not living in the Universal Studios, but, In Disneyland, surely :D In this zone, we first attended the Shrek 4-D Adventure ! After waiting for a long queue, we get into a room which likely designed as a mansion to receive a short brief from the Far Far Away people (: Next, we get into the mini cinema, sat back and relax. In Shrek 4-D Adventure, we saw, heard and felt the action right from our seats as we joined Princess Fiona & Shrek in the fairytale adventure :D Later on, we snapped few pictures front of the Far Far Away castle and get our Enchanted Airways ride

Now we are done for the Far Far Away Kingdom (: Endlessly walking, we then entered the   Madagascar zone ! yeah, " I Like To Move It Move It, You Like To .. Move It ! " - just from King Julien ! In Madagascar zone, we rode the Madagascar : A Crate Adventure. We went on an unforgettable river boat ride with our four heroes, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria (: The river ride was a great ride :D

BEWARE OF FOOSA !

After the river boat ride, we glanced at our wrist watch and finally realised that it was already 5.45 pm. Without wasting our time, we then had a rest by performing our Jamak prayer after a non-stop walking throughout the day ! :D Subsequently, we had a window shopping in the merchandise stores of Madagascar's

Faiz - Promoting the merchandise stores, perhaps ? (:

TIRED & EXHAUSTED ? Yup, these words really fit in us that time (: So, we had a rest along the roadside of the Sci-Fi City's to witness the all-new Hollywood Dreams Parade as it brings to life our favourite blockbuster movies and beloved characters on magnificent floats that go beyond our imagination (: This parade only held on Saturdays, Sundays and selected holidays at 6.00 pm. The parade starts from the Water World zone until New York zone. So, we serve you the pictures during the parade :D

We have Fairy Godmother and all the heroes of the blockbuster movies :D

Overall, we managed to attract many characters closer to us and quickly SNAPPED their's photos :D Okay, it was tiring enough. So, after the parade ended, we then headed straight to Mel's Drive-In in Hollywood for our stomach was making tumbling sound all day long :D

Bluuurrrrp :D After full of eating, we then went to several merchandise shops to buy some souvenirs for teachers and friends. We shopped at the Universal Studios Store by buying some goodies such as key chains and mini pillows :D  Done with shopping, we then embarked from the entrance and had snapshots front of the USS Entrance Archway while waiting for the fireworks show at 9.00 pm sharp (:

Right Above & Below : Fireworks (:

For your information, we actually planned to go to the Singapore's flyer and to witness the Songs of The Sea show in Sentosa. Apparently, we didn't had much time, so, we only witnessed the spectacular fireworks show during the night :D So, readers (: after the fireworks came to it's last burst, we left the Universal Studios of Singapore .. ): indeed, " A Million Moments, One World(: GOODBYE USS, we really hope to set our foot there once again. 

Enough of Universal Studios's bits and pieces, that night, 14 of us took MRT to Marina Bay, our very last spot of the day (: and, here, pictures during our journey :D

tired and exhausted (:
Middle : taking a rest while Ust was purchasing tickets to Bayfront Station (:
We took a snap far front of the Marina Bay (:

So, readers, let we tell you the real story T.T we were actually misguided for the station that we had to embark. We wrongly embarked at Marina Bay station which is the station that lead us straight into the building of Marina Bay's. That is why we felt weird when was walking in the building, seeing people immaculately dressed were passing by, casino, waitress was making up tables and Jazz music was turned on -.-' indeed, we were not supposedly to be in that place that time, how we wondered it happened -.-' No matter what happened, we still intended to take a picture of Marina Bay's, so, we only had the photos, above :D far from the distance where the Marina Bay actually was ): Therefore, we just ended our trip in Singapore for just one whole day ... then, we took the MRT train to the station that dropped us to take our bus to the Singapore's immigration ..

Not disappointed, but just happy for what we had today (:

Finally, we alighted the bus opposite from the station where we dropped and headed to the immigration. After all, we just embarked out from Singapore and we arrived at Johor Bharu around 12.55 am (: Before spending our last overnight in JA Residence Hotel, we then had our very late dinner in the nearest restaurant, to fill our empty stomach :D Right after full, we then walked to our hotel and ready for a comfy night sleep (:

Walking to the hotel for our last overnight in JB (:

T.H.E. E.N.D. (:
