[QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA 2015] - Movie World! (Part 2)

Hollywood Stunt Driver show is definitely one of the highlights in Movie World. The show was incredible and the drivers did some fantastic stunts with the cars!

After the Hollywood Stunt Driver show, we went for Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D. It requires us to shoot their laser blasters at the targets to defeat the alien threat. At first I thought it was a 3D coaster ride, but it turned out to be a shooting 3D ride like Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in HongKong Disneyland. 

When I saw the carriage with the shooting guns, I straight away said "Oh my god, Pew Pew ride! Can pew here and there!" So, SiewHui and Jaz now keep mentioning that's JY's pew pew ride.

After we came out from Justice League 3D ride, we went for Batwing Spaceshot. It caught my attention when we entered the theme park. It's stated that it's traveling at a speed of 64km per hour!

I didn't want to catch this ride at first because of acrophobia. But at the end, I was being forced to take this ride with SiewHui and Jaz. It was worth going up hahaha! The view from the highest point was breathtaking, where you can see the whole theme park and the surroundings!

When we were queuing up, I was like "I want to sit in the middle! I don't want to sit at the side!" SiewHui chose to sit on the side. When the ride went up, SiewHui looked down, and she was like "Shit! Let me down!", and when it shoot up, both of us literally scream our lungs out.

Apparently there was a man standing down there, looking at his son who was sitting beside us, when he saw both of us screamed like crazy mad woman, he was laughing all the way until the ride stopped!

Three of us were contemplating to go for Superman Escapes or Arkham Asylum - Shock Therapy. We chose to go for Arkham Asylum instead. This ride is a feet-dangling ride, and the highest point is about 33.3 meter. We thought that it wouldn't be scary as the Superman Escapes ride, but turned out we were wrong, there was one point where there was a 270 degree turn and the power was so strong that you can't control yourself! We were being thrown front, back, left and right!


When the ride began and it started to go up, SiewHui was sitting beside me, and she was like "Oh my god, let me down! No no no! Let me down! Jaz I'm going to kill you!" Jaz was sitting infront us and the guy beside Jaz, turned and looked at both of us behind, and with a puzzled look, he turned to Jaz and must be wondering "Why these 3 Asian girls so crazy?!"

Went to grab our lunch after the Asylum ride.

Pre-departure, Departure and Arrival!

Been terribly busy and sick (for now) ever since I came to Oxford. So many things to post about and I don't know where to start. I think I'll just go about the pre-departure, departure and arrival first.

Glad to meet up with some of my friends the week before I flew to UK.

10th September was the day I departed to UK. It was such an emotional journey. I consider myself quite independent, but at the same time, I'm such a cry baby. Excitement was a big portion of my emotions though, I was so excited about the journey, the life in Oxford, the people that I'm going to meet!

Had problems checking in luggage with SiewHui on that day because our luggage were overweight. That lady told us to take out some of our things and both of us ended up taking out things in front of the check in counter. Suffered so much to pack everything the days before and there are a lot of things that we didn't get to bring because of the weight limit.

It was a 13 hours direct flight from KL to London Heathrow. Luckily SiewHui and I decided to fly together instead of flying alone. At least got someone to talk to during the 13 hours flight. And champion ah, we didn't really sleep in the plane - only dozed off and woke up again after that and we didn't experience jet lag.

SiewHui's dad's friend picked us up from the airport and helped us to check in to the hotel. When we touched down in London, the weather was just nice and the breeze made it so enjoyable to walk around.
