Not only did I take a genuine roller coaster ride yesterday, that applied to my mood as well, metamorphically!
It started out with me waking up super early in the morning despite all the tiredness -6 plus in the morning and the sun's already out! That's what you get in a seasonal country! So I embarked on a second piece of Christmas card, which I never moved on ever since- yes, it's another long one! And those two who're gonna receive them later, do be glad and appreciative all right?! I put in a lot of effort writing them, which kind of explains partially my extremely slow pace.
So the day was intended to be the most fun one, since the climax was brought forward- we were going to Ocean Park! Country pumpkin like me, who have never been to Ocean Park were expected to be crazy over that idea, but people who have come here so often might not have shared the same view, so that kind of excitement was absent all around me, which killed the mood, somehow. I chased that perception away almost instantaneously to keep me on track, and I think I did half fun! Cable car up to the highland was a long but enjoyable one, because we had it all to ourselves. Dolphin show was much more impressive than any of Singapore's Sentosa, Zoo or Bird Park added together!
First ride of the day was Abyss (vertical drop), and I managed to coax my little nephew to take it with me! Made a new friend, whom I don't even know the name, while taking the ride. 10 seconds were all it took before we were dropped without warning from 8 storeys. The coolest part is that all happened without the foot touch! How's that! Cool stuff huh?! Frankly, after that ride, everything else was really nothing. In fact, I don't know how it got into me, but I simply lost my fear for literally all the other rides! The eagle ride was approached with me ending up chatting with my little nephews at high levels, the flying swing became plain rides of enjoying the breezes. I wouldn't say it's not fun, but the absence of those thrills really remove much of the purpose of those rides. So we took the Abyss not once, but twice to make up for that at the minimum level. The only disappointment could perhaps be the fact that the huge roller coaster was under maintenance, which the mine train more than make up for already! So, it's a trip well worth, because we stayed there from around 10 until it's closure at 6 in the evening! Long huh!? Oh, the trip there ended on a pleasant note with me taking a ride on the merry go round. Romantic stuff! Really hope a love one has had been there with me, but oh well.
So here comes the roller coaster mood when we got back! I lost my wallet! I mean how unlucky can I get?! First trip in quite a while, and it was only the second day that I already lost my wallet?! 200 over Hong Kong dollars, my Ez-link card, octopus card and house key! Seriously! But come to think about it, I had wanted to bring my I.D. card, but mom refused, else that would have been so much more hassle, wouldn't it?! Thank God for that man! ^^
