Location: Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, Perak.
Group: Hui Xian, her dad and I with Hui Xian’s friend, Lois and the Henson family
We arrived at the Lake Resort before the Hensons did. The girls were ooh-aahing at the landscape because we had to take a drive uphill before going downhill to the park. It’s rather a unique entrance I must have and quite impressive. We had an overview of the entire resort and lake and it was huge.
However, the reception and information were poor and we had to struggle our way through back and forth – DH gave a piece of his mind because we were limited to 5 entrance and exit passes and the ticket sales for certain rides were outside the ticketing booth! Music was blaring, locker only has a one-time usage and most visitors were in their pants and T-shirts although there was a sign asking everyone to be in the swimwear attire! Amidst all these, the Hensons arrived and the teens forgot everything that was unpleasant and were running everywhere in the park having a fun time.
I’ve started making 2 layouts for this album using my latest ‘Water Park Page Set’ designed with this trip in mind. More will come pretty soon because I have tons of photos to scrap.
This giant slide is a loop that allows you to go up and down until momentum and gravity pulls you to a standstill. In this layout, Hui Xian had so much fun and her excited screams were heard from afar. She did this slide twice and on the third round, before the life guard could push her float down, she stopped him and jumped out. She later told me she had a quick look down the slope, had a panic attack and just couldn’t go through it!
The teens had to wait their turn in this ‘Balloon’ game. Poor Jon was refused entry because he had a zipper in his short. I argued that other kids were allowed in full outdoor clothing even though the regulations prohibit that but the life guard wouldn’t budge. He says nobody goes in the pool with zippers under his watch. Jon didn’t want to spoil the gang’s fun so we leave it like that. Later on I saw a fully clothed man in there but the life guard was gone, replaced by a different one. Flexible procedure? BS! Anyway, as soon as the teens went for it, Luis was the first one to grab the rope and was up at the top within seconds. The rest struggled and dropped into the water a few times and Hui Xian was the second one up when she got Joe to pull the rope tight for her. Afterwards those that managed to get up made it extremely difficult for the rest to climb because they shook the rope and swung it side to side. It was hilarious to watch them splashing down and gulping water! I made sure I was at the safe distance with my camera.
There will be more layouts to come when I have the free time to make them.
