pirates of wildwood!

i shall update bigapple while ting is on hibernation for god-knows-what reasons. LoL~

during our early days in morey's piers, when Adventure Pier is still not fully opened to guests, we're often sent to mariner's landing (the largest pier in morey's) to help out.

mariner's supervisors trained the lot of us on the pirates of wildwood ride cuz that ride's operators all happened to fail to turn up for work somehow.

unlike all other rides that we operate, there's costumes for this! all of us got so excited over the costumes, we were stuck in the dressing room for a long time, taking photos. hehe~

baby's so pro at posing sia. haha~

it's such a pity none of us brought our digicams that day. had to rely on my lousy VGA cellphone camera.

pirates of wildwood is a water boat ride with no plunges, a pirate-themed haunted house. there'll be popups inside to scare u, and a pirate aka ride operator will be stationed inside as "live actor".

all of us had to take turns to be the live actor, cuz seriously nobody likes to be inside that bloody spooky and dark place.

us with the masks we've chosen for ourselves (live actors have to wear masks when scaring guests). again, baby has the best expression. baby, u win u win. LoL~

what live actors do is to scare the guests, basically. most of the time the guests just laugh at us, however. bah~

that's how the inside of the ride looks like, taken from my "scare location".

i dislike being in there. the mask stinks, the job is boring, cant play games on my handphone cuz guests will see, the place is too spooky to sleep, and supervisors often feign as guests to check on the live actor. bleahz~

it's so much better being the loading and unloading operator outside. just press 2 simple buttons, and there's lights, pretty decoration, plus guests who always praise our costumes.

anyways, we hate working @ mariner's. the supervisors there only care about whether we're performing our work, and there's this stifling feeling of being watched. too strict, not fun at all. AP's wayyyy better.

our ever-so-obliging and people-oriented manager at AP knows how we felt towards mariner's, and always avoid sending us there. so in fact, we only went there a few times lah. *phew*

lastly, another photo of the adorable pirates!

hee~

okay i'm done filling up the gap, let's hope ting is back from hibernation. hmmm.
