Splashing Good Time on a Monday

At Splash Jungle

At Splash Jungle

The kids love water and were thrilled when we told them we were visiting a water theme park while we were in Phuket.
Splash Jungle was our last stop before flying back to Singapore as it is located near the airport.

There were more then 5 different slides for adults and some of the rides were of real high intensity level which can really rival any roller coaster ride which you may have been on.

The boomerang ride

One of the scariest  water ride which I have been on to date with it’s almost vertical drop. I literally had to cling on to the handles on the float to prevent myself from being flunk off the ride. Monkey boy loved the ride and went countless times on it. I only took it once and it was enough for me.

While Monkey boy and R were trying out the thrilling rides Doggie boy and I checked out the kids play area. Doggie boy was too short for the extreme rides so he had to settle for the kids area and the shorter tube rides.

He loved the white tube ride and made me go with him countless times on a double float. It got really tiring for me after a while as  I had to drag the double tube up 3 flights of steps each time he wanted to go for a ride. After like the 6th or 7th time I told him that I wanted to take a break and we could go on the non tube rides instead.

Doggie boy also love this slide down at the kids section and went countless time down it while I tried to  snap his picture. It took me about  4 attempts before I cold get this clear shot of him with the Olympus Tough camera that we specially brought along to take pictures at the water park.

Floating along the lazy river

This is one of the most relaxing ride~ the lazy river. It is much longer then the one at the CSC pool that we frequent and there are more waterfalls and other water features that one would pass through on the ride.

You can see all the rides in action by viewing the video of the park below. It was certainly a lot of fun for us and the kids want to go back there again the next time we visit Phuket.

Writer’s Workshop: Dear Santa

 

Christmas Tree

Christmas Tree

Dear Santa,

We won’t be having our Christmas Tree up this year. It has been an extremely busy month coupled with the fact that we won’t be at home to enjoy the tree on Christmas day.  Even though the tree won’t be up but could I have some presents under the virtual tree instead?

xmas-giftboxTo make it easier for you I have listed down some items I would like to see for me under my virtual tree.

  1. Spa Vouchers.

    It would be great if I could have some spa vouchers to go for a massage to ease my aching muscles. We did go for an hour long  massage when we were in Thailand but being able to go more  frequently would certainly perk up my day.

  2. Shopping vouchers

    Shopping vouchers would be good too. I would like to revamp my current wardrobe and get some new additions. It would be great to get new clothes for the kids too.

  3. Travel vouchers

    I love visiting new places and with travel vouchers I would be able to save the hefty airfare involve in transporting the whole family out of Singapore to our chosen destination.

  4. Helper on demand
    It would be so ideal if I could get a helper on demand to do stuff like pick up the kids, clean the house or just baby sit them so that I have more time to go for regular Zumba classes and really be able to get down to ideal weight faster.

 

What will you be hoping to get from Santa this year?

Any must get items on your list?
