The Mines : The otherwise experience

Yes! Finally, I have some time for breakzz...Ok, maybe just one day, because I'll be sitting for my actual E-exam next Sat. But, before that, let's make use of the time now. 

So, I met up with Ruthresh at the Mines, which I was kinda late (points finger at Dad). 

We talked about errmm...lots of things...and walked the whole shopping centre. Then, we had Chatime which we met Eyna who is back from PLKN for a term break. 

See where the stick wants you to hold? XD

Since there's like almost no where to walk, we went to the Heritage instead. 

The Heritage is kinda quiet and temple-styled, which they place 4 temple guardian statues at the lobby. 

Believe...deeply believe

They even have zodiac statues. The dragon is pretty cool.

plants...sharppp plantzzz

After that, we went to the Mines Wellness Hotel, where we climbed lots of stairs. 

eco-friendly Innovation...

Ruthresh acting cute

We observed how the water lift worked. 

Explore the Sspectacular Water Lift experience which was developed with the cost of RM15 Million, to connect both MINES North Lake and South Lake in the MINES Resort City which were at 7 meters different height levels. It works on Hydraulic System to raise or lower the water level in order for the cruises to cruise from one lake to another.

This is my back after Ruthresh put grass into my shirt.

 Ruthresh also took me to the Mines Wonderland which is closed since the take over by Singapore's Capital Retail. Mines wonderland was pretty awesome when it was operating. Once upon a time:

The rides available at the park will delight both children and adults. The Unity Train ride takes passengers on a circuit of the park, offering the opportunity to observe the different animals housed in the park and the well-maintained gardens. The Road Tram is an antique-style train that takes riders to the opposite side of the park. Meanwhile the Vintage Car permits the visitor to tour the garden and lake in grand style.

The unique 10,000 sq ft Ice Factory maintains a temperature of up to 15 degrees celsius below zero, and displays engrossing ice sculptures of various animals and fish. Visitors may borrow a winter jacket at the entrance to the attraction.

The Secrets of the Tiger exhibit allows visitors to view the majesticBengal tiger at close range, including the rare white tiger, as they wander freely in their enclosure. Other creatures to be seen include the swan, peacock, macaw and goats. 

Make it a point to visit the Amphitheatre where you may see the sensational Musical Fountain where the water seems to dance in the air to the rhythm of the music with the bright lighting adding to the charm. The native dance of Sabah in East Malaysia is also featured. An aqua laser show ends the display.

Now, it's all gone. My parents used to take me there during Chinese New Year to enjoy the decorations and the Snow House and Terracotta soldiers display. 

 What it looks like now:

Still, there's some colours...

Ruthresh with flower.

Hidden temple, which was built before the wonderland.  

Coin still in good shape.

some fruits.

 Lastly, we refilled at Carl's Jr. Seriously nice fries, but watch out for pimples and sore-throats after that. That's why they provide unlimited refill for drinks to wash away the heat. XD

Oooo...I'm delighted

 

ta-da!

Thanks, Ruthresh!

The end.
