day 13-paris
went to Euro disney! disney land! woke up early for an early breakfast! then took along train ride, actually, two train rides, to the disney stop. alot of people were queing to go in. we went to the rides place first. it opens at 10, but people are allowed in a little earlier! it was so fun! the whole time there, playing the rides, i feel like i was back into my childhood days, carefree, happy, laughing, hyper. no worries, just free. those childhood days were not really the best days of my life, but it was memorable. the good times. so just relaxed so much at disney land! rode the merry go round, went to sleeping beauty's castle, joined the adventures of pinocchio(i mistaked his name for pikachu at first, idk why. maybe cos i miss pokemon? haha!) and went into the forest with snow white. the last two were rides. and one more, was this 'flying ride'. i think its supposed to be about this person in neverland..... who is he called again? can't remember, cos never watched or read about it. went on to a maze, with alice! and the queen, off with the head! so funnny! then went on the mad hatter's teacup. the ride with people in the teacups and can spin round and round and round. ate ice cream after that. went on to another part. went into a real sumarine. interesting, but dark and scary. our last ride was a roller coaster. fun!!!! it was some mining thing. so we went into dark mines, then went out into brightness, then darkness again! sat in the first row with dad! mum sat behind! so we were the first! sat in front for most of the rides, its more fun! we took a train back to the entrance. and got a souvenir for cousin! :) disney world is fun! we left this place around 3 plus, almost 4. so spent 6 hours or so there.
went to the studios next. it was smaller then the rides one. studio 1 was just eateries and gift shops. we took the train ride. it was a great ride! they showed us how the directors produce the shows. we saw the real planes from the show Pearl Harbour, put on display, ready to be used for another show. there is physical effects and visual effects. we past a set, where there was this half wall and some unreal creatures. the computer people were able to make this set look like a real scene. this was from a show, dragons (something), can't remember the whole name. then we really got to feel a real scene come to life. our train was parked on this platform. the train had about 5 carriages. on our left, was this big set, with a bus on it.and some walls and other plain things. we experience an 'earthquake' first. like the carriages moved left ride, really fast, like a real earthquake. really interesting. then there was a huge rain, then made us all wet! even though the train is sheltered. there was also this fire effect, that made some things go on fire. including the bus. it was a really big fire. we were quite far from it, but could still feel the heat of the fire. and finally, had a flood, where a lot of water came rushing towards us, and pushing the bus towards us, like it was going to hit us! so fun!!!! maybe should be an actress one day! then can experience all these sets and interesting things. okay, so our train ride continues, we saw fake dragons and creatures, as props. another set, was this dragon thing, spitting our fire. the fire was sooo hot!!! but so fun!!!
our second ride was armegodon. we had a chance to so call experience and reccreate a scene in the show. we went into this room, where a shot briefing took place. they showed a video, of how the show was filmed. then we went into a spaceship kind of set. the whole place was like a real spaceship on shows. it was supposed to be travelling and then a stone hit us. the whole thing moved!!! and there was this screen at one side, where we could see the back of the spaceship. and when a stone or some broken part of the spaceship came, we could see it coming to hit us. when something hit us, say the top of the set we were in, the whole top moves down. lower and lower, until gas comes out! and off course there was fire too. the whole thing was so interesting. things banging here and there, the spaceship set slowly becoming distroyed..... finally, in the end, the whole thing shut down. and it was finally quiet. no movement. cos we were supposed to have died in the spaceship... but the whole thing was fun! special effects is so cool!!!
our last event at the studios was this movie thing in a theatre. we were deciding between the movie or another event, but the other one was not that interesting, so chose the movie instead. well, the movie was about this guy. it started with us watching a scene from a screen, and then a cell phone rang and this acter went to stage, picked up his phone. and the people on the screen was like' why are you disturbing our show!!!' so they brought him into the show. there was this puff of smoke and he appeared in the screen. special effects again! the show was in an old castle, in black and white. then this guy with the cell phone acted in a lot of scenes that changed from the black and white castle, to a coloured picture of cow boys and continued on until the present time type of movies. he was trying to get out of the show. and the people he met was wondering what a cell phone was. he kept his hp in his jacket. and it rang when he met this group of people who are like cowboys, carrying guns in the pockets. so when he took his hp, they began to shoot him! so comical! finally, a swordsman threw a sword and there was a hole in the screen, he could come out. and he did. the sword and hole is fake, just visual effects. but he went in again by another door to be with a girl. so sweet!
it was already 6 plus. so had dinner. lunch was hotdogs and soft drinks. dinner was pizza and burger! nice! went back to the hotel. slept for a long time! woke up around 8 plus the next day.
day 14-paris
woke up a little late, breakfast, went back to our room, lazed around. the tv channels were all in french, so don't really understand the shows. but there was a song countdown. their songs are a little behind ours in the countdown. half english, half french. the songs i mean. then, we went shoppping, my mum wanted to shop, and its paris! so off course must shop! went to the LV store. the real store, it was so big. apparently a popular brand there. the store had 3 or 4 levels. just followed my parents around. cos i don't like shopping and not into branded stuff..... mum got LV bags for her sisters and my grandma!!! and for herself, one purse and one bag. teh LV stuff are cheaper then singapore ones. had macs for lunch after mum spent only 2 over hours shopping at LV. much shorter then usual. macs was very crowded. it was big, a lot of seats, but a lot of people too. had problem finding a place to sit. the menu is less confusing than Britain's. about the same as singapore's. their macafe had biscuits, cakes, muffins, a lot more things then ours here. a nice lunch! went to this big shopping centre to get some more stuff. then went back to the hotel early. came out again for dinner before trying to sleep. dinner was vietnames food. mum couldn't stay away from asian food.. not even on our last night overseas.... *sigh*couldn't get to sleep. even until 12. then both my parents slept, but still couldn't sleep. strange. slept very late...
day 15-paris-singapore
woke up early. was supposed to have a cab at 8.15. well, the counter person said the cab will come at 8.15. plane flight at 12. but we waited and waited and waited. no cab... waited until 9. then the cab came. thankfully we asked for an early cab ride, if not will be late for the plane. and the ride to the airport was not long. reached by 10. but it was 76 euro... which is about $160 or more singapore dollars! still think singapore cabs are expensive? paris is worse! so is london. london's to from the hotel to king's cross station was also about that price. if not for the two big luggages we have, we wouldn't have taken cab. can take train. any way, we checked in, and cos we booked online, we took the faster queue. mum went to claim the tax. took a long time cos it was a long queue. then went to the waiting room. then to the plane. this time, we sat right to the back of the plane. well, middle of the back cabin. only one baby i think. not that much screaming, but still had screaming. couldn't sleep at all. well, only for about 2 hours the most. watched some movies. no appetite for the plane food. there was this cake thing for lunch that we were given and it was so sweet! regret eating it. usually okay with sweet things, but that was overly sweet. the other food, didn't eat much. breakfast, the egg was bad! but got a lot of sprite! about 4-5 cans? and only two cups of water. took a few sweets and chocs! 12 hour flight, quite fast though.
