The Yangtze RiveR (in China) is gRowing calm, hence safe foR boats to sail foRth. Have no woRRies, you aRe often blessed with benefactoRs who will come to youR aid in time of need.

i dunno what this is called... all i know is i cRashed down 20 flooRs 2 times... haRz.. all the giRls did not daRe to play the moRe exciting Rides... luckily i still have 2 male cousins (one of whom is my god-bRotheR) to accompany me... cool Ride~!also played the RolleR coasteR at the low lands.. actually.. i think i've finished all the Rides except foR the childRen Rides, feRRis wheel, meRRy-go-Round and go-kaRt.. haRz... playing on the Rides just Reminded me of the good times i had with the geco peeps the last time we went...
this is what i call the supeRman Ride~ the scaRiest Ride defined by me... u'Re in plain woRds, lying down and flying aRound... and i felt so unsecuRe!! theRe's a laddeR which i stepped on, and a baR foR u to hold.. that's all!! no belt!! i was so afRaid i'll just fall off if i loosen my gRip... =/ damn scaRy... especially when it plunges down.. it feels so diffeRent fRom plunging down while sitting! eveRything happened so fast... afteR plunging down fRom gReat heights, it immediately tuRn 3 Rounds of 360 degRess... whoo! SHIOK!
Rowing the boat on wateR was... tiRing.
it was veRy hazy.. theRe's supposed to be a hotel which can be seen cleaRly when the haze cleaRs... the haze was bad... and it staRted Raining in the afteRnoon and spoilt ouR mood...
when the haze is a little betteR...
sis and i went shopping at the mall in fiRst woRld hotel.. didn't play the indooR theme paRk Rides though... just took fRee pictuRes.. =p
waited half an houR foR the maintanence to finish then played on ouR last game foR the day.. coRkscRew!! afteR the long wait, i lost my couRage to play.. haha.. and it was flashing lightning a lot.. i was so scaRed i'll be stRuck by lightning.. =x of couRse, couRageous me still went on the Ride in the end... =p good thing SOMEBODY didn't go with us on the tRip.. maybe he'll just join my little cousins on the feRRis wheel and tea-cup.. haha..
went to snow woRld afteR dinneR~ look at the tempeRatuRe!! -6 degRees celcius!! fReaking cold!! i could see smoke when i talk!! slide down the ice slope with some tyRe looking thingy which made my butt huRts.. ate ice cReam and thRew ice at each otheR... couldn't take photos cos we weRe not allowed to bRing cameRa in... while in theRe.. it just feels like my nose is going to dRop off anytime!!
