universal studio singapore

I dislike theme parks, roller coasters and whatever exciting rides. I only want peace and quiet and enjoy the scenery around me during the holiday. But the kids want roller coasters, rides that will flip your heart around and swing your head up and down.....
Anyway....for the kids' sake we made our way to USS. We reached early as advised by all our relatives and friends. We were pleasantly surprised when a staff from USS approached us to open the park for the day!!!! We were ushered into the VIP room, given drinks etc. 15minutes to 10am, we stood at the entrance with Poo behind us. Lyn was given the mike and Dan help the clapboard. She introduced us and welcome everyone to the park and Dan clamp the clapboard after her statement. We were given free express passes (which were of tremendous help as the kids need not queue for the rides) and free photo shoot with Poo ( the above picture). What an experience!!!

 I did probably three rides. Most of the time I was sitting under the shade and chilling out. It was hot...and I was having a headache from the heat. Disneyland HK was easier as the weather was cooling. We took a picture with this lady...forgot to ask what's her name.
Kids went for rides after rides and only the challenging ones. They didn't bother to consider the kiddish rides as there is no fun but for my sake they took me for a few mild rides. The most challenging was the Cylon which they did twice. They did Transformer twice too....this is the advantage of the express passes. They were able to finish their rides fast and go for seconds too.

It was a lovely time especially watching the kids having a time of their life.
