Universal Studios Singapore!

With a penchant for doing touristy things, I was really excited about going to Universal Studios on my birthday! Applied for my first annual leave despite barely passing my one-month mark at work to avoid the weekend crowd but it was surprisingly still very crowded on a Monday morning. Nevertheless, I was all psyched and raring to go!


Got our one-day passes!

Taking the river boat ride
We love to move it, move it!
This was our first ride since friends strongly recommended it! I have to confess that being a scaredy cat I actually wiki-ed the entire flow of the ride so that I could expect those sudden accelerations and plunges but it all happened too fast for me to react! Very fun and thrilling I would say!



Shrek in 4D was awesome! I'm not a huge fan of 3D but the effects for this animation were good! Love those cheeky physical effects too (pardon the blur pica taken using phone)
Dino-Soarin'
The most thrilling ride of the theme park but unfortunately I only had the guts to take the Human track of Battlestar Galactica. I think we stood there for the longest time watching the roller coaster go up and down over and over again, while trying to muster our courage and prepare ourselves for the ride. Almost chickened out when the ride was delayed due to technical difficulties and had to go for 5 test runs! So proud of myself to have conquered it!



I was genuinely impressed that USS Singapore have a queuing system in place for photo taking with mascots. Having been to Tokyo Disneyland where they only paid attention to kids, I was delighted to be able to queue for a photo with my favorite people! It would have been a complete experience if I was able to catch hold of Puss in Boots and Kungfu Panda!

♥ these mascots who played their characters really well.


Marilyn Monroe!
The ever cheeky Charlie Chaplin who has SO many different poses!
Frankenstein! wahahaha
Missed some of the shows due to the timings but I know I'll definitely be back for the Transformers attractions this coming December. It was so much fun packed in one day. :)
