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

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

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.

[App Review] Need for Speed™ Most Wanted

Screen shot from the game

Screen shot from the game

Need for Speed™ Most Wanted by Electronic Arts was recently released on the 30th of October. The boys were waiting anxiously for the release as they are very into cars and racing games.  They couldn’t wait to try out the game once it was downloaded onto my iPad.

The different competition zones

The different competition zones

In this game the objective is to race your way through the different zone to collect experience and cash. This would enable you to unlock and purchase better cars and upgrades for existing cars. The races that you have to go through are of varying difficulties for different among of cash if you do win the race.

The  objective before each race is clearly started before the race commences. I’m still stuck at the above stage as I’ve yet to master how to throw off the police and get the car to it’s destination in one piece.

My thoughts

The boys and I found this game really entertaining. We had lots of fun collecting cars and upgrading them as we went along in the game. We love the graphics and enjoyed the thrills being able to race the various sports cars in the various races.

It was quite easy to control the car while the game was in motion as you only need to tilt the iPad left or right to move along the route.

It had been really addictive and I had to set strict time limits on the boys playing the game to ensure that they had time off screen to rest their eyes.

You can purchase this app for  $6.99 from the iTunes store
