Madman on Segway! Oh, wait . . .

Sentosa Island, here we come for some fun!  We went down a luge track that was similar to go carts on a really curvy, fast track and took a high sky-ride back up to the top.  We went up in the Tiger Sky tower that you can see much of Singapore and the South China Sea.  (That's right, M did two height-related things.  That H . . e  doesn't like height.) 

We decide to do a Segway ride also.  So after an ordeal to get our big noggins into helmets (people in Asia must have smaller heads than us and my hair is 5X bigger than it is at home) and the girls into knee and elbow pads.  We are all set.  Honestly, I really don't want to do this.  Something about it says trouble to me and I am pretty sure this is going to end badly for me.  As I get on one of the Segways for practice time with one of the workers, she can see my face and says "No worries, mama."  Easy for her to say, she doesn't know me!  We all pass our test to demonstrate we are not going to hurt someone during our ride. 

Keylime sets off first on the path and is doing great.  She looks like a natural.  I am next, going slowly but ok.  Tie Dye and M are behind me.  I am surprised that Tie Dye hasn't passed me since frankly she has 100 times more ability than me.  I can hear her kinda hollering but can't make out what she is saying.  We continue along the path. 

So M is now behind me on the path and he asks me if I can do a wheelie (Has he just met me?)  I remind him who he is married to and that no I cannot do a wheelie on a Segway.  Then I hear CRASH, BANG, CRASH.  Then I hear from M "Apparently, I can't do one either."  That is right, he busted big time!  I was laughing so hard, that is the only time I almost fell off. 

Tie Dye comes by me and then tells me that Dad crashed into her back there (that was the hollering I had heard earlier.)  Aparently, he had been running into her and stopping right in front of her all along. Upon full admission, M had almost run into a fence, crashed into Tie Dye, and fell completely off (and that is all he remembers or is confessing to).   Madman on Segway!  Oh wait . . . that is my husband!

As we move around the country, we have seen very few Americans.  Many are on holiday since it is a school break for the kids but still we have only met one other American mom, outside of M's co-workers.  So I have been thinking, I feel kind of bad for you all since we are representing you, the great USofA, in Singapore.  You should be scared.  I think there should be some kind of test that people have to take before they leave the country to make sure they represent the red, white and blue in a good light.  I am sorry for you that test was not required of us!  Good for us (since we probably wouldn't pass) and bad for you!

Right after the infamous Segway ride!

Tiger Tower Sky ride.  It went up and circled around so you could see the whole Island.

There is a new Question of the week posted at the end of the blog page now.  You are going to really like this one.  See Keylime's page for last week's answer.
