Our First Visit to Universal Studios (SG)

A complimentary trip sponsored by Ian's Da Bo, we made our visit to the "new" theme park in Sentosa.  We arrived there at about 10.30am together with Hubby's family, and to our surprise, the carpark was quite full by that time.  Luckily, the sun was not strong and it was quite a cool and breezy day.

After 2 shows, we had fish burgers for lunch at about noon and Ian did not like the burgers and only ate some of the fries.  The chocolate milkshake was pretty good, I felt.  After a few more rides, we headed to the foodcourt for a second serving at around 2pm.  This time, Hubby bought wanton noodles and Ian ate more of it.  The queue at the foodcourt was horrendous!  I told Hubby that I had been sitting until my back was aching, while he complained that his legs were aching from standing for so long in the queue.  The noodles were surprisingly decent though, after the long and horrible wait. 

We did not expect to find a mini splash park outside the foodcourt, and it was a nightmare to pass by the area as Ian kept on wanting to go in and get wet.  After lunch, the party went for more rides at the Jurassic Park, while I entertained myself with YouTube.  This time, the sun had come out and it was getting painful to wait under the sun.

While the rest of the party wanted to try out the more adventurous rides, the 3 of us split up with them.  It was way past Ian's nap time and he was super tired but refusing to give in to his fatigue.   Fatigue had also caught up with me.  We went for the carousel and around the shops to spend the 2 pieces of $5 vouchers.  At last, we decided to get a Magic School Bus book and a box of biscuits, and headed straight back home.

Ian probably enjoyed the rides and the new sights more than us.  It was pretty boring for me since I could not take almost all the rides.  The only 2 that I got to try out was the Shrek 3D movie and the carousel.  I also went for the "rock concert" but it was not to our taste. Perhaps, it would be more fun for us a few years later when the rides become more "suitable" for us and when Ian is able to take the roller-coasters.
