LEGOLAND Malaysia ☀☁ (part 2)

Lego Technic
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------❀

We continued left towards "Lego Technic", the first of the seven themed areas of attractions. Just by looking at the rides, I could tell that they weren't that intense because, this theme park is meant for families which means the rides can't be too intense for the little ones. The first ride we took was this mild-looking roller coaster, called "Project X". The estimated waiting time was 30 minutes! Although the ride was more relaxing than exhilarating (you know its a "mild" roller coaster if you found it relaxing), the 30 minute wait was bearable because my family members were there to chat and let the time pass by quicker.

LOOK AT THAT COW PLUSHIE OHMIGOSH THAT IS SO ADORABLE I WANT ONE BUT I HAVE NO MORE SPACE FOR ANYMORE STUFFED TOYS.

Kak Shidah even spotted a group of Malaysians that were using sign language. She was so fascinated because she knows sign language herself, as she is in NTU RSPHI. However, they weren't using the US sign language that she is familiar with so, the whole time, she was trying to interpret/understand them. (And we saw them again later at other attractions!)

Anyway, once we had gotten off the ride, laughed at our roller coaster photos and continued walking, we decided to move on to the next part of Legoland since the other rides at Lego Technic were a bit too kiddish for us.

On our way to the next area...we bumped into some adorable robots who were apparently preparing a meal of sorts, and the legendary genius himself, Einstein.

Look at those diligent robots. I'm sure whatever they're cooking, it'll turn out delicious (but that yellow bot probably has to wash its bowl seeing as Kak Shidah "sat" on it)! And check out Einstein's profile. MashaAllah, that is truly incredible.

Stay tuned for part 3, where we visit Lego Kingdom (yay, I love medieval-themed attractions!) and I bump into one of my SOTA year mates! (;

The happiest I've been. (part 2)

Loved ones (& their loved ones)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------❀

I was finally on the train towards Woodlands! Every single time I'm on a train that goes to Woodlands/Admiralty, I get slightly nostalgic.

When I alighted the train, the situation was:

- Muhaimin and the rest were already at Woodlands CC

- Dhania and Syahmi were probably walking towards Woodlands CC/already there

- Eunice was with Shah (!!!)

Finally met Eunice after more than a year! She's absolutely gorgeous! And the both of them look so adorable (read: perfect for each other!)

We started walking to woodlands CC after confirming with Dhania and rest shortly after. As we were walking...well. I'm sorry Di and Syahmi! -- Moral of the day (so far): If you tell me that you're in a cute, adorable, made-for-each-other relationship, there's no way I can't not tell our best friend.

Anyway, we reached the CC...and guess who else I meet? (:

Let's see...

✓ Dhania's guy

✓ Eunice's guy

(yeah, you can probably tell where this is going)

>> fast forward to the introductions...

IZZAT.

I *finally* met him. After years (no, I'm not kidding- years) of hearing about this "Izzat" I finally meet him! Its as if everybody else in the DENZ group knows him...except me.

M: Nurul, meet Izzat. Izzat, Nurul.

I: Hi. *nods and waves*

N: Hi Izzat- I heard a lot about you

I: Huh? (he looks genuinely surprised here)

N: Yeah...I've heard you from everybody else...Dhania, Eunice, Zah and Muhaimin and everybody else seems to know you. So its nice to finally meet you for real...

I: Uh-huh...

That was the most interesting introduction I've ever had. Izzat, if you're reading this, its really nice to meet you! There were a few other friends as well that I got introduced to. If we had more time, I'd definitely would have got to know them better. Maybe next time? (:

While the rest continued to play badminton, Dhania and Muhaimin had to finish writing their messages in the book! (Discreetly- well, not really since Eunice knew about the book already. Sigh, me and surprises...*smh*) So finally the surprise was ready (if by ready you mean, the surprisee practically knows everything and her muffins-disguised-as-cupcakes-but-she-knows-anyway had been eaten by somebody's siblings- not mentioning any names, but *cough* Syah *cough* mi, then yes- READY).

The (not-so) surprise!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------❀

First...Muhaimin gave her the special notebook! (: (actually, its a sketchbook but scrapbook notebook has a nicer ring than scrapbook sketchbook, no?)

I absolutely loved her reaction...and do you see the "cupcakes" there? (;

My new extended family! (: I hope we all stay close in the years to come...

Once our photo-taking session was over, we all had to go off...and the missing Z was finally arriving at causeway! There are other things that happened at this time, but I'm going save that for, wait for it, "The happiest I've been (part 4.5/epilogue)"! *gasp* (;

Stay inspired,

Nurul xx
