The sales and marketing team of the properties had a very special promotion rates for the staff of travel agents in conjunction with their special promotion of their newly renovated water-park facilities. I was the first person who asking for the purchase form entitled for the special rates. However, the response was very poor and there was only one colleague that following me.
On 1st June morning, we took a public bus. There was a big crowd of people in front of the entrance and a very long queue of people waiting at the ticket counters. Luckily we were staff of travel agents with a special rates form and I dealt with the counter staff at the group ticket counter. It was a public holiday and I guessed there was lack of manpower I was waited for my all parks entrance tickets for quite a long time. However, as compared to those who lined up at the ordinary ticket counters, I was really lucky (working as a travel agent staff)!
The day was still early, not many people yet entering the theme park. We were among the first batch of people playing all the rides. We didn't waste so much time for lining up. There were still the same rides in dry-park and I didn't play all of them as I had already played them once last time. Nothing was new then.
About noon, we went down to the water-park. All the newly renovated water rides needed a tube that rented from the counter. We didn't play the rides, as there were crowded with people and long queue for the rides. We were only relaxing ourselves at the man-made surf wave pool known as the largest in the world. It was a hot and sunny day.
We did not spend the whole day at the theme park as the sky was very cloudy in the afternoon and looked like it would rain anytime. Furthermore, the theme park was crowded with people everywhere we went. We decided to leave the theme park earlier and hanging around at the annex shopping mall, the Sunway Pyramid. Again, people everywhere, almost all corners!
It was just a break from the routine irritating and hassling working life in the office. I just wanted to have a place to shout (release my tension) and relax. A day trip to such theme park would be just wonderful. However, this is not the right way of handling the long accumulated tension from our daily pressure of work. Something has to be done to avoid such tension otherwise it could be turned into a disaster later on. Therefore, I had made a change for myself; a better opportunity for my future instead of suffering of what I was doing then.
