I contemplated getting this on exchange last year because it was cheaper in Europe but didn't because it didn't fit me well - I think the pair I tried on was also tried on by many others before me so it was kind of loose. The first time I saw it was on a woman at Niagara Falls whom we asked to help us take a picture. When she was helping us take the picture, I was looking more at her sunnies than at the camera. Hahaha. So when the bf bought me this after my extremely long contemplation, needless to say, I was ecstatic! :D Thank you baby!
After that, we shared some XXL chicken for a light lunch and went to buy some paint supplies because he was preparing to paint his house the next day. I thought all the surprises were over because we were chilling but I was wrong.
He blindfolded me again as we drove and after that leaned me against a wall by myself while he went somewhere. It was scary because I didn't know if someone would come rob me in daylight because I couldn't see so I held onto my bag super tightly... Anyway, while waiting I heard some plastic bag rustling on my left and felt the need to shift more to the right because I didn't know who this person was.
After what felt like forever, the bf came back and while we were walking away I said "Dear, there was someone beside me just now, who was it?" I thought it was my brother because it sounded like a guy. I said "I know that person is following us, I still hear a plastic bag sound that I heard just now" and he bluffed me saying that it was an ang moh drinking bubble tea (hence the plastic bag rustling) who walked in front of us and went away already.
Anyway, we navigated and after stepping up a few steps, he made me turn around, carried me up and placed me on a chair which I figured felt pretty awkward for a chair. Then someone started to strap me up and I panicked and asked "Omg where are we??!!" The guy who was strapping me answered "River Safari" and it got me confused because since when did River Safari have such rides right? It took me awhile to realise that I had sat on this before and the only place that would have me strapped like this was.... The GMax Reverse Bungy Jump! Because I was still wearing my blindfold I said to Sam "Omg you are so dead" hahaha.
I swear my heart was beating quite fast and I was panicking because I was afraid that I would have to ride this alone AND with the blindfold on. Imagine not knowing when you're going to shoot into the sky PLUS shooting into a pitch black sky. THANK goodness Sam told them to tell me to take the blindfold off.
After taking them off I had multiple curious stares from onlookers - I'm guessing because I was wearing the blindfold earlier and they were wondering what my reaction would be to all of this. Hahaha. Many times while walking with the blindfold, Sam would say "walk faster, a lot of people are staring" and then he would proceed to walk ahead of me and pull me along behind him and I would go "Don't walk ahead of me! You walk beside me then I have more confidence to walk faster". Other times I'd go "Doesn't matter if they are judging me, I can't see them anyway" and just continued walking at a snail's pace hahaha.
Anyway, I was delighted to find that Sam was beside me all along, not making a single sound. He bought the package with the video (Gopro strapped to the ride) and so everyone who watched it on my FB said that Sam looked more surprised than me on the ride. This is because this is my second time taking this ride (the first time was 10 years ago). Nevertheless, Sam did enjoy it too! After our heads were kind of spinning a little I asked him "How did you know I wouldn't freak out?" and he said "Because that time you say you like these kind of things" hahaha. My smart bf - if it was something I wasn't comfortable with I don't know what I would have done!
After the ride, I finally found out who the "plastic bag person" was - Yvonne!! She was the person beside me all along when I was waiting for Sam earlier and was my "protector" from my imagined daylight robbers. Hahaha. Was too caught up with the surprise that I didn't spot her taking pre-ride shots of me. Hahaha. My sneaky bestie!
So anyway, we headed to Tony Roma's - a placed that Sam predicted I wanted to eat at. My bf can read my mind, or for that matter, my stomach's mind. Major love for the potato skins. Yum. Since my blindfold days were over, I thought all surprises were over! But when I reached Tony Roma's, Olivia appeared!! It was a big surprise for me and I asked Sam "Who else is coming?" Was glad to find out that she was my last surprise for the day. :D
Because we were hungry and wanted to get rid of our dizzy spells from the ride, we shared some ribs and sides and finally dessert - a cake that I told Sam I'd like to try, but didn't know what it was called - something crunchy and praline. The bf drove all the way down to Sheraton Hotel to order it for me and Olivia helped pick it up. (': Feel so loved.
