On Friday, I skipped the last two periods of my classes just to get ready and go for the ScreamWorld trip. See how dedicated I am towards fun? Anyways, I was lucky and glad because I've got a lift to DreamWorld from my distant-cuzzies. If you haven't already know, DreamWorld has many different events and fun. ScreamWorld is one of major attractions.

Basically, the whole DreamWorld is sort of ''closed'' but only certain rides (fast and furious ones) are opened. The biggest attraction of the park are the 6 biggest thrill rides. Before you read onwards, please note one thing : Joshua is afraid of heights. (Acrophobia) And he had 9 incredible fearless creatures who wants to try most of the scary rides.

Most of the people who gathered here to have thier hearts pumped into 280 beats-per-minute rhythm are the teenagers.

The first ride we went on was the Mick Doohan's Motocoaster! This ride has 18 extreme banking turns and considered one of the fastest rides at the theme park + 72km/hr in 2 seconds and has slight G-forces executed. And this is the very first ride that made me gay.

This is the replica of the Motocoaster with Suzanne on it.

After that gay-experience, we went on the next biggest ride. The Claw. The queue was so long it made the great-Wall of China look short. When I saw this ride, I was thinking, ''nah, it doesn't look that bad.'' Let's do this! Some fun facts about this ride : 75km/hr + 240degrees turn + 9 storeys high + 5 revolutions per min = almost-peed-in-my-pants.

This is awesome group I was with. They are my church friends and I was happy to know everyone of them. I can only describe them as funnies, crazies and definitely not gay like me.

Like any group, cam-whoring is a must. However, this time round, I was the ''mummy'' just because I brought a bag. So I was responsible for the phones, caps, water bottle (when my OWN water bottle was chucked away - stoopid guard) and money. I was both gay and ''motherly''.

Finally, we got on the ride. And I can only say it made me gayer than before.

There were also minor attractions like ''High'' people doing dirty-dancing!

Charlene and Jeanne. They need to embrace each other to keep their heart beats leveled. See their smile of their faces? Not fake, but definitely not at peace.

Soon after The Claw, the group broke up into 2 groups and they all went to ride The Cylone and WipeOut respectively. I've got the creeps of extreme heights (18 storeys) and multiple 360 degrees head over heels turn in 92km/hr ; so I did not ride on both of both. Pussy. But trust me, Life is too short to faint in the middle of an extreme ride. Besides, I have my cuzzy to accompany me! Karen!

So we did some photo-shooting.

Most of the thrill-rides require minimum age of 7 and the height of Karen-squatting-down.

There were 6 rides if you recall. The other 2 are : The Giant Drop and Tower of Terror. These two rides way passed my capabilities of conquering heights. But someday I am going to be a man and do it. Someday.

However, the crazy bunch weren't afraid of anything. They intend to go on both of those rides! You'd think I am lame enough to go with a bunch of ''kids'' or young teenagers, but they weren't ordinary teens. They are ruthless, fearless and discriminately awesome that they made me look like a stupid lame kid.

Fun always end in a short time. The two terrible-horrible-vegetable rides were cut short and closed due to the time constraint. Apparently, we had only 30mins left and the line was still long. So we decided to ride on some minor kiddy rides. - Heck, even some of the kiddy rides were scary!

All in all, we had a great time. I don't know about them because they did missed two of the major thrill-rides but then again, they were awesome and fun. I was glad I came eventhough I rode only 2 of the 6 major rides. But I did ride on 3 of the mild-kiddy rides too!

The moral of the night : Life is too short to be afraid of heights. I said I want to do bungee-jumping and sky-diving next time so I definitely have to conquer this stupid phobia. Because of this, I had another $10 ticket for DreamWorld again later next week. Thank you Yvonne!

All the 10 of these people were amazing, awesome and fun. Thank you all! I totally enjoyed myself eventhough I was extremely gay. ''Gayly'' happy.

You know you love me, JOsh
