Yesterday’s trip around the Island of Sentosa was mind-boggling, seeing how everyone was admiring the general resplendence of a newly constructed Universal Studios right here in tiny Singapore! The entire place had evidently charmed everyone with its Disney themed décor and layout.

Enduring the heat and the sun while constantly moving on foot to various attractions, the foreign SMEs certainly had trouble contending with the stifling heat and humid weather here in Singapore! But I’m sure everyone agreed unanimously that while the walk around was utterly draining, the view, the sights and the sounds were all worth the energy and time! What made me proud too, was how magical and fantastical Universal Studios was, and that it was heart-warming to see the foreign SMEs enjoy themselves thoroughly.

Knowing us youths, everyone wanted to plunge right into the thrilling rides that kept the adrenaline racing! Heading to all the rollercoaster rides we could find, we were all having a whale of a time riding new rides and even going twice on those rides that were electrifying we all just had to have another go at it. It indeed was the Jurassic Park theme ride that was just got everyone talking with its scary fiery effects and icy blasts of mists throughout the ride! It was disappointing though, that we didn’t get to visit the WaterWorld since it closed early! Nevertheless, we spent the remaining time going through the numerous tiny souvenir shops selling all the cute little pins, hats, pens and stuffed toys! It was great fun visiting Universal Studios running around and enjoying the rides that I couldn’t have asked for more bubbly and enthusiastic company that day!
