Outing with the guzheng gang!

yaHOO. Just finished doing up michy's blog. Please visit!! http://bananakemama.blogspot.com!
And also just returned from a fantastic outing with some of the old guzheng gang- mok, elizabeth, yingzi. EEH so few people! Well actually more people were supposed to come but due to whatever unforeseen circumstances they couldn't make it today. :)
Thank God we arrived at Escape Theme Park at around 10.30am because it started pouring from about 12.30 onwards. OH YES my maid, aisha, went along too. Aisha agreed to work for us for another 2 more years (since her contract expires this November) and mum was so pleased she promised to give Aisha 10 outing days with me and $20 to spend for each outing. yupyup.
Aisha was so daring. She usually speaks in a trembling tremolo voice and you can actually see her lips quiver when she speaks to you. WELL BUT SHE HAS A LOUD VOICE whenever she's talking excitedly about 5566 or stuff that she likes. But she took the flipper with yingzi! mok eliz and i were like, "no no no, we don't wanna fall off that thing!"
Next was the Haunted House! We were all so scared that we were clinging to each other and the moment we heard this sharp knocking noise and some deep laughter at the dark entrance, we all screamed and ran out of the haunted house (from the ENTRANCE)! In the end we had to queue up again and this time I went in first with mok. We all explored that haunted house huddled together and aisha said she shut her eyes throughout the whole journey! Actually it wasn't very frightening because the ghostly beings were just gory frankenstein-like ghosts and a hantu and some other scary props. But the atmosphere was SCARY. There was actually "fog" billowing out of the floor in one of the prison cells in the haunted house.
Later we took the Rainbow ride twice, a swing on the pirate ship and of course the wet and wild log ride. Took the log ride with yingzi and she made me sit in the front! Well sitting in the front has its advantages. I didn't get really wet but those who sat at the back did! And I managed to pose for the camera as we were sliding down the huge slide.
THEN it started to rain so we went to the haunted house again, looked at the carnival games and had lunch at Burger King. We drove the go-karts and when the ride ended it started to rain AGAIN! irritating rain! Mok yingzi and eliz went to tampines mall while aisha and I hung around at Downtown East. The rain seemed to have stopped so aisha and I ran back to escape but to our dismay it started raining AGAIN. So aisha and I just sat at one of the wooden benches and started talking about the number of siblings she had (EIGHT SIBLINGS LEH) and I found that her family was humungous! NINE CHILDREN. oh my! that's THREE TIMES the size of my small little family. X)
Aisha and I decided to have a go at the carnival games and we managed to win THREE unicorn plushies at the pinball game and a giraffe plushie at the water-gun game. Aisha's really good at the games.. she helped me win my blue unicorn!
BAO FANG I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT LONG-AWAITED UNICORN DURING OUR NEXT BANANA MEETING. :D
we went to the Haunted House one last time before going home and this time it was scary. There was this woman totally clad in white and a man who disguised himself in black who came to scare us. Aisha kept screaming and well I told the man that he was very handsome. In fact the girls behind us were calling them CHIOBU and SHUAIGE. eeeh.
yay i love today! and tomorrow's going to be just as fun coz i'm gonna watch She's the Man with gordon!!! X) X) X)
