It was the weekend b4 CNY and we had some last minute shopping to do. Actually the man of the house had decided that he needed MORE new pants , and he loved the ones he bought at point B in Summit. So we made our way there and it was a good day of shopping.
After the shopping we went for this little "exhibition" if u can call it that. Its called the lost city , and it was suppose to be about the ancient wonders of Egypt and the Mayan cultures but i didnt see much of that. It could be cuz the exhibition was about to close down but they had extended the duration for a wee bit more. So by the time we went to view that , most of the stuff there had been removed.
All i remember seeing was a mummy ( fake one , of course) and some minor artifacts that weren't memorable. We walked thru a structure that looked like this ....
the moment we walked into total darkness, the Daddy started to scare us with his usual teasings!!!! So i walked behind him, holding his shoulders and Diane was behind me! We had to wear those 3D glasses and it made us a bit disorientated!!! The glasses brought out 3D images on the dark walls. There weren't anything really Egyptian about the stuff on the walls , maybe we were just too cautious about the blackness to really bother! I didn't see much that was interesting at all, there were lots of loud noises to scare us and ropes hanging over our heads for us to dodge and untangle from. At one point there was this loud voice that boomed out to warn us about going any further. It was like Leave now, or live to regret it ... something to that effect , lah!! At that point i am sure it was meant to make everyone feel like some Indiana Jones ( if u are a male) and a Lara Croft ( if female!)
we moved forwards and came to this room that was not really dark. And we remembered that we were told not to open any doors cuz it would be opened for us. We stood looking at a door and the room was small and i was like Dont open the door! Is this over though? ??? Then i felt diane hitting my arm like a hundred times but she did not utter a word. I turned to her look at her on my right and she was scurrying from my right to hide behind me and all this while she was just hitting me!!! i was like What! What??? i saw a terrified look on her face and i was like what??? why??? where??? By now diane was hiding behind her dad and i but i was still blur!!! I turned to the direction she was staring at and i saw this dark robe with both arms outstretched in front of me. At that point i think everyone's reaction would be to scream! So i did the expected! Boy did i freak out!!! i opened my mouth and let out the longest and highest pitch scream my lungs could handle!!!! It made Dad jump too!!!! And then the dark robe figure (probably deafened by my deadly expression of fear LOL) walked past us and reached out to open the door. By then we had gotten over our silly antics LOL so diane and i were too busy laughing hysterically !!! i admit i did feel silly LOL
we stepped on a bridge and it was shaking all over and diane refused to budge! I told her that if she doesnt walk down the bridge the other door wouldnt open , so she had better walk. Thru out all this we were still laughing , and we wobbled across the shaky bridge and came to a larger room filled with "treasure" . It was suppose to make us feel like some Captain Sparrow but we were still laughing hysterically from the earlier episode .
the little adventure ended and we had tears in our eyes LOL from all the laughter!!! days after that we still sit and talk about that , and it still makes us laugh ourselves silly!!!!
Its the Lost City alright .... we lost our sanity there!!!!
E-gyptian laughter
