You know what they say about being in a relationship, either brings out the best in you, OR the worst in you, OR even both?

I would say that being in a relationship means trying out new things together, so that at the end of the day, you have something in common to share and talk about. Am I right?
And that would also mean by trying something that you have feared all these while simply because you know that your special half would always be there for you.

So long story short, we were at Universal Studio Singapore last weekend, and even though there were other interesting rides, I decided to cajole the missus to try out the ferry wheels' ride at the Shrek section. Why the ferris wheel right? 

This is because the missus is afraid of heights - a common phobia developed by many. (even myself) 

When we were queuing up, I bet ya we attracted a lot of unwanted attention from the rest. In my mind was "Shit, will we be kicked off since it seemed to be more of a kids' ride.."
But no, the attendees were far from being mean, and even snap a picture of us for remembrance sake. 

Aah, one for the road!

The ride was undeniably plain, 6 cycles and there it was. Only to excite kids.
But guess what, the missus was terrified. Lol. 

Even though the height from the ground was probably less than 2 storeys high. I kept telling her that her office was probably 30 storeys high, but why is she afraid now?
(I shall not deny that my constant rocking actions did not help much..but anywayyyyyy)

You know, when we were at the highest point (which is at the position of "12" in the clock face), I kept rocking and the person who managed it had to repeat countless times, "FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ROCKING OR MOVING ABOUT." 

I am glad we had this ride. And to let the missus know how much she can trust me. :)
