La Ronde + a very traumatizing nite!

Went to La Ronde today! Well, it didn come easy when we started on a bad foot... Its a REALLY long story... HAAH. well, to sum it up we were supposed to go yesterday nite at 12 midnight. yes midnight since it was stated on the website. But apparently, it was an error and we only found out at 2pm! so... we had to postpone it to today instd! well, thats not the worst part. We realized that we needed a photo for the season pass. So... gab & lewis (well, smart hui qin and i brought from sing of course) had to go take the pic. and it cost them 11 bucks (CAD) for 2 itsy miny ic photos! HAhha... and the worst part: we saw those photo booth @ McGill station which costs 4 bucks! HAHa... they pretended that they didn see anything.... Then, we went to this place to get 'cheaper' tix as recommended by the LA Ronde website. And... the in-store manager told us to go ask the pharmacist when we asked him about it. so, we went. WEll, we waited for 10 mins and the pharmacist ( a REALLY frail looking old chinese man who looks like he can seriously faint any moment) said that he doesn know about it and i shld go ask the manager. So, we went back and apparently, the manager misheard us and thought we were asking about some medicine that happens to sound like 'La Ronde'. seriously... is my pronounciation that bad?! and he didn even look apologetic. How nice.... well, we decided to persevere and made our way to Papineau station to take a bus transfer to La Ronde.



We made it to the place! HAhah.. its not the end... we found out that they take photos for you to make the season pass with those little webcam thingy. HAha.. so much for gab & lewis' 11 bucks! hehee... anyway, the rides were good! hahaa... But the wait was Long..... we had to wait for about half an hour for each ride... well, hui qin kinda gave up on the more 'scary' rides and i was left to 'entertain' the 2 guys... HAha.. ooops... well, compared to disneyland, i guess they kinda lose out in the atmosphere.... you know, that happy happy atmosphere?! haha.. well, i'll give them credit for their rides though.

entrance at La Ronde. Long Q at tix stands! being typical singaporean, i picked up my pace to find the SHORTEST Q... hehehe..
VAMPIRE roller coaster ride....
VAMPIRE.
Yes, i sat on that!
HUi qin finally plucked up some courage to sit this then chickened out after qing up for 5 mins.... well, the rest of us sat it in the end... they juz turn you in round and rounds... yawnz.... I like that bridge!

Structure of another roller coaster ride: Le Monstre (the monster). ITs really cool cos eveyrthing is built out of wooden planks and BIG screws.

The BIG thing in La Ronde: GOLIATH roller coaster ride. We didn get to take this cos montreal pple have to close EARLY n make sure that they close shop at 6pm ON the dot. well, we're def. gonna make this our first ride on the next trip. the pass kinda covers unlimited entry for sep/oct;)
The climax in Goliath....

Oh.. and i think i'm learning the art of chatting with RANDOM pple.. seriously. I chatted with this guy who was holding a REALLY BIG bugs bunny stuffed toy. seriously, life-size!; OFFERED to take pics for this french little gal trio; the guy who sat beside me on one of the roller coaster ride; this bunch of pple who were scared for a while that the bus to papineau station wasnt going to pick us up from the START of the Q since we were at the front of the Q; replied a lady who asked me (in french) whether the bus goes to papineau station. yes, i understood her in french! good job von! haha...

In case you're wondering whether I'm even studying?! yes.... pls read my previous post to recap your memory. I'm even gonna go to school tml (though its my free day) to borrow the 'child deviations' TB from the library... i've a test on thurs. well, juz thought that i'll be a hardworking girl this week since i'm gonnne be away for the weekend:D hehe...

oh... and i found out that my face TOTALLY looks like a BIG ROUND cookie now!!! taking pics beside hui qin doesn really help matters..... this is sooo traumatizing! and its barely a month! what m i gonna look like after 4 months?! BLAH....
