The deal with the Ferris Wheel

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Disclaimer: This post is a feel good, picture whoring post that is two days late.

I say goodbye to my old camera:

Broken
Broken :(

And say hello to the new IXUS 800 IS! :)
Happy early birthday to June Leng...

Birthday girl

and Tzern!

Birthday boy

We celebrated at Just Thai... and there is no way we're going back because the food portions are the exact nano sized replica of the images they have of it on the menu, prices are obnoxiously unreasonable and a roach skittered across our table just as we finished dinner. Long live third world countries.

Ahem. We have more people!

Those who were on time

Those who came fasionably late

Cina eventually joined us

Terry
And so did Terry.

June Leng got an eye for her birthday. Yes, an eye. It's green too.

THE eye
THE eye.

And this is what the gents did with it:

Tzern, Terry and the eye
Tzern, Terry and the eye. Terry is going to kill me.

Of course, which dinner is complete without a group picture!

Smile!
Smile!

After our rather disappointing dinner, we decided to head to...

Fun park
Fun park.

a fun park that was just right next door. It's actually called the "Euro Fun Park"... but I really don't see anything "euro" about it. We also decided to take a tourist-y picture with the bling entrance sign that actually looks like it might just explode any minute now.

We hopped on our first ride, the Sky Rider:

Strapped in
Strapped in, legs ahoy!

It was so much fun! Except, I thought my legs were going to collide with the sign board as I spun round and round, flying through the flashy lights :)
After that was done with, we meandered over to the game booths. Attractive prizes include bootleg Nemo plushies, Shin Chan plushies and uh, well... other bootleg/plushie stuff.

Duckie game
Some catch-the-duckie game. I am not sticking my hand in that water.

I was very fascinated with one of the prizes:

Froggie
Oh-so-cute bootleg froggie plushies!

WTB boyfriend to win a froggie for me ;)

Joo, Mei and Sean

Not finding anything we really wanted to try, our next (and last ride) was the Euro Wheel. Whoever came up with that name has to be shot in the foot a couple of times.

It cost 3 tokens for the ride (priced at RM2/token). Not too bad for a couple of rounds, eh? We parked our asses in the carts:

Chris was scared shitless... of course, it didn't help matters the ride was stopped momentarily as their cart was suspended at the pinnacle of the wheel. Here's another shot of the three of them, with us (especially Cina) taunting Chris to stand up:

Here's a sexy view from the top:

Flying high
Flying high.

For a Ferris wheel, it was actually turning pretty fast (borderline dizzy) and we thought the ride would last at most 6 rounds. It turns out, the ride is 15, yes FIFTEEN, rounds long. If you think you've got your money's worth (cheaper by the round, el oh el), think again. We got pissed bored thinking the ride operator fell asleep:

Round, uhm?
Getting looney after round, uh... 10?

Well, best RM6 we ever spent :P

And with that, we called it a night and said bye to Euro Fun Park.

Fun park, bye
Bye bye fun park!

On a side note, Portuguese egg tarts are so good :)
