Sentosa - Universal Studio!!!

Hi Friends, today I am gonna record a wonderful, cheerful memoir of my life time.. Before start penning down, let me say a few words about those (my friends) who made today as the one of the best day (to be remembered forever) of my life. To start with, my best friend Aishu, knowing her since 2004, who is a lead person, very much organized, proper planner yet a little late comer. Venkatesh, aishu's husband, I can proudly say he is my elder brother. Down to earth, cool and highly patient enough to go shopping with aishu. Here comes the "Kissing Queen", "Smiling Beauty" and Cute little Princess Pranathi Venkat, three and half year old, known since her birth. She really made my day, not only mine, with others too! Giri, till this moment (forever!!!) one of my best buddy, from tomorrow onwards my housemate too, knowing him for almost seven and half years, calm, cool and typical freewheeling urban youth, now working in Singapore after completing his Masters degree. Along with them, Aishu's Mom & Parent-in-law's arrived at Changi Airport yesterday night. Myself, Giri and one more best friend of mine (name not printed on her request), been there to receive and put them in a nice sleeping accommodation. Aishu is here with whole family to attend her cousin's Big D Day in Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia. As they are leaving tonight, we spent a whole day in Universal Studio, Sentosa, which is a main tourist attraction in Singpore. Since, their travel has been made by a travel agent, they don't even have any breathing time for next 11 days in Malaysia & Singapore. After wedding in JB, they have three important task to do every single day, i.e) explore, shop and enjoy! So here starts the excitement and enjoyment of Sentosa! They have already planned and booked their tickets well in advance, they reached Sentosa on time and started exploring the Universal Studio. Since, mine and giri's plan to visit was a eleventh hour decision, we both been to Sentosa and waiting in the ticket counter. Suddenly a stranger (well an Indian!!!) approached me and offered an extra ticket of his. I was slightly puzzled and sighed giri. Giri said, sorry sir, we don't have cash in hand, we are going to buy using credit card. He just gave us the ticket worth of $74 by choice and left. By reconfirming the free ticket validity in the counter, we bought one more ticket and entered the Universal Studio. We can't wish for anything much better to start a day like this. With loads of excitement, we started experiencing all the attractions and enjoyed every moment there. Begin with Donkey Live show which was useless other than Pranathi had some food watching that dumb ass. Then queued up for Jurassic Park high flyer ride, after that enjoyed the water world show which was fantastic. Later had lunch and headed towards "The Mummy" roller coaster ride. Me, Venkat, Aishu and Giri experienced our adrenal secretion inside the tummy. It was a nice ride. Then me and giri went to enjoy the High Speed Roller Coaster Ride. In 90 secs, I clearly felt the visceral movement inside my body. In between every show, the most gratitude Singapore weather, blessed us with its gracious down pour. Searching for an umbrella and a rain coat has become a habitual act of the entire day. To soothe our senses, we four has been to King's party-go-round with Pranathi, its nothing but we call it as merry-go-round in back home. By this time, we were completely exhausted and planned to wind up our day in Sentosa with a Hollywood Dance Show. Before they start the show, a lady on my left initiated the talk and a stranger of different race has become a good acquaintance. The show was thoroughly enjoyed by Pranathi, she was clapping, singing and dancing to the tunes and become a fairy lady on her own world. As the day completed and their itinerary ticks into the next plan, except me and giri, they all left Sentosa to pack their backpacks to JB. After they left, we both been to a most spectacular and must watch Shrek 4D show, which was mind blowing and no words to describe. It was a complete fun and I would say, the full price worth that one show alone. Finally, we also started home, with few more pictures clicked and thanking that philanthropist again (an Indian stranger!!!) to offer a free ticket to top up our enjoyment with more fun and more economical. Wish this day would have last little longer, enjoyed the weekend with best buddies at best place. A Perfect Week End well spent after a long time and these memories to be cherished forever :) :) :)
