Lagoon Heaven!

When I was in Primary 3, my cousins and my family decided to spend our December holidays together. The place we decided to go was Sunway Lagoon,in Malaysia. As the title said, it was heaven. That holiday had always topped my chart of "the best holidays".

We stayed in a five star hotel.It was so perfect.No wonder it was rated five stars.It had a kitchen and two toilets with both a bathtub and a shower.Unlike other hotels which I had tried staying in, this had a 'full' kitchen.What I meant was the kitchen had a stove,a full-sized refrigerator, and two sinks,one for the dishes while the other for washing hands.

In the hotel, I became the 'maid' as I did most of the chores,and I did them voluntarily.I washed the dishes, cleaned the sink,bathtub and shower.Eversince I was born, I loved cleaning.My parents were so proud of me.

Other than the amazing hotel which also provided breakfast,lunch,dinner and supper, we went to the amusement park.It was the very first time I went to such a place.It was amazing!

We had to get passes of course.In addition, the park was right outside the hotel.We went to the pool firstly, and something really scary happened.Probably more to frightening.While we were in the pool, I noticed a security guard heading towards us.Since young, I had always been scared of security guards.They look fierce, and they would not approach us unless something was wrong.So she told us to get out of the pool immediately.I ran behind my brother as I was scared.

Our parents did not get in the pool with us.They asked her why.Then, she said that a snake had got loose somehow and someone had reported that he or she had seen a snake in that same pool.My youngest cousin freaked out.I could not imagine a snake right in front of our hotel!

However, we did not let such a thing destroy the fun we were having.We proceeded to this long,five storey high slide.That was where I developed my fear of heights.However,because it was such an experience, I actually slid down that slide about three times in a row.The scariest part was that the buoy actually flung in the air and landed on the slide.Everytime someone or a pair slid down, they must be flung about a metre in the air and land down.What if we ended up outside the slide? I did not want to even think about it.

Since we were already wet, we decided to get wetter.In addition, it was raining.My family got on this log ride.Yes, a log but not the real wood-log.It was a plastic one.It was very scary when we entered a cave and suddenly dropped,more to slide,down at such a speed,with water gushing at us.Furthermore, there were no seatbelts.So we had to grip as strong as we could to the metal bars at the sides.It was so slippery that I was almost flung away.I did not take that ride a second time.It was too scary.

The next day, we decided to stay dry. We got to the same park, and had so much fun. We got in this bumper car.I got bumped like crazy,in the end, I had a massive headache, but that would not stop me from having fun!

Next,I got in this 'cowboy boots' ride.That was the fastest ride I had ever been in.It was so,so,so,so,so fast! It had a bar which kept us in place.Since I was at the side where there was no cover,which was mainly to let people in, my leg was sticking out like crazy.Thankfully I could get it in back before I broke it.The ride would certainly not be fun if we did not swing our hands up high.Did I mention that I screamed the loudest at every ride? Yes,I screamed like never before.Even when I had a sorethroat.

Next, also a fast ride,was this tea cup.It even spun 360 degrees from left to right.Luckily, I had not eaten much before the ride. After one ride, my parents gave up and got out but, they let me stay for another ride.So, I joined my other cousins whose tea cup still had space.My mind was whirling.

Lastly,but sadly, I could not get on the viking.It is the most famous ship,except that it turns 360 degress.Yes, I really meant it. It pauses for a while once it was at the top,I could see hair and people dangling.However, I was too short to get on the ride.I had to be one metre and forty centimetres in height, but I was just 135cm at that time.I was terribly upset.Until today, I had not gone on this ride yet.I hope that one day, I could go on such a thrilling ride.

I wished I could go to such a fantastic place again,where I could be just who I am.
