cousins' visit

Throughout the December holidays, i have visited several theme parks like the escape theme park and the one located at the Genting highlands. I am not being biased but i have to say, Singapore’s recently opened universal studios currently tops my list of best theme parks.

When my parents announced that my cousins who live in Malaysia were coming over to visit us as well as to sightsee, i was thrilled to the core. Did i mention that my cousins were a bunch of fun-loving and humorous teenagers?

They arrived in Singapore via the plane and we hurried to the airport to fetch them. On the first few days of their visit, we went to places like the marina bay sands, marina barrage, wild wild wet and dined at posh restaurants. That was life at its best!

At the second last day of their stay, we were going to enter the universal studios! Just thinking about how much fun we were going to have inside made me as happy as a lark. When we entered the universal studios, it was packed with throngs of visitors from other countries such as India,Thailand and even from America.

Universal studios was split in to a few small parks with each having unique rides. For example, one can ride the canopy flier at the Jurassic park, or take a journey through the land of far far away via the enchanted airways. There were also some very thrilling rides, such as the revenge of the mummy, a high speed physiological thrill ride through sharp turns and fast reverses, as it pits the riders against fire, robotic mummies and scarabs-all in total darkness.

For lunch, we dined at Loui’s NY pizza palor, where we had the best pizza and pasted i had ever eaten. After lunch, we went for a show at waterworks. It was very entertaining and exciting. The loud blaring noises of the ships and jet skis made my do a drumroll.

Soon, after a day fun of fun at the universal studios, it was time to go home. we took a taxi home and as my cousins had to leave early the next day, we had to sleep early. The next morning, we bade our cousin goodbye at the airport, promising that they would come back again.
