blast! can't relly type much cos i was up wasting time on the net again, so.....briefly, i had fun today. got to forget what's troubling me, n to let loose n put pain aside just for once. i finally got my parents to bring us to danga bay....a place by the seaside which i have not been to for many months. man that place has changed..... it used to be the good old pantai lido or lido beach, that stretch along the coast i used to walk along and play at when i was a child...and then the government went and developed the land and reclaimed some of the land from the water too...they turned it into the short-lived puteri lagoon, which died out due to neglect of upkeeping of facilities. n then they closed it n did some serious re-developing...n recently re-opened it, bit by bit. n now they've got all kinds of stuff there. looks so much better than puteri lagoon...and more high-class, esp the eating areas and the huge stageshow. anyway, an international thrill ride company came into town n my parents said it was way better than the usual safety-threatening (is there even such a word? i meant a threat to safety) ones u get around town that just pack up and leave as fast as they set up their rickety stuff. n what a blast it was....i never had so much fun in my life for so long. okay, maybe i'm exaggerating, but boy do i sure miss the adrenalin-pumping, free-falling rides at genting. and besides, tonite was the first time in nearly 10 years since i've first stepped into a thrill-ride carnival. yup, you heard me. my parents have been banning me from going to carnivals ever since i was a kid...they call it a waste of money. so the only rides i have ever gone on are the ones that don't come out of mobile trucks....stuff that stays ard permanently, like the one in genting and the one in desaru (which is sadly, closed down now i think). how is it so that they allow me to go for those rides? well, the thing is, they have no choice because we end up staying there for the nite.....so it's not like they can prevent me from going, can they? and they've started to open up to this going-to-thrill-rides thing since they had a shot at experiencing some of it in genting. not totally opened up yet, but starting to.... anyway, i had fun, especially with this crawler thing that swings with no stopping (think of an arm with fingers, but with the wristbone broken or a chandelier on a rod that throws it violently around from left to right in all directions and gets higher and higher in the air). pretty hot guys too, manning the booths....ang mohs. in fact, the two hotties manning the crawler were aussies......haha.... but i did something pretty lame tho...i dared my brother to sit on that crawler thing even though it relly took a lot of coaxing (and "bribing", as in, i subsidised his fee) to get him to.....n then it made him sick and made him throw up when we got home. i kinda forgot my brother's tolerance level is weaker...he's like my mom, he gets motion sickness easily.....i shudda guessed. cos before this he had never thrown up before at genting, when he sat all those rides....but they didn't involve much going-round-in-circles-and-spinning-faster-and-higher stuff. anyway i will never take him on a ride again....unless he wants to, heh. |
