day 1:
first day at gold coast!! touched down abt noon...
roamed ard the hotel, shopped, had lunch and then spent the evening taking random photos at the beach n getting wet!!! frm head to toe, as we sat there riding the waves...:)loved it...my dad was the first to get all wet! haha... i was the last to get wet before sam n him attacked me...i was helpless!
went to the casino at night n lost at jackpot... haha...sighs... haha... at least they consoled me by offering me free hot chocolate... LOLS....
i LOVE this picture... haha... the "green man" has a friend in tampines, spore.. haha... wonderwoman, flash, jacq, sam, the green man (??) n the thunder woman (??) haha...
superman roller coaster... i am so proud of myself... i took this twice!!!! cant believe it.... "dont worry folks...there is only only way out of this... that is SUPERMAN FAST!!" was wat the speaker said before i felt my whole world collapse... haha... SCREAM!!! frm 0 to 100 km/hr in 2 sec!!! adrenaline rush!!!
arrrhhhh....
my wet back after the water ride... splash!
dinner at changmai thai rest... really nice :) esp the fried ice cream...
day 2:
our first theme park... movie world!!
funfunfun... but scary too.... i decided agst taking the the batman n the lethal weapon rides though.. haha... i wondered ard the looney tunes world while my dad n sis tested their guts in those two rides... one was a 60m drop n the other was a suspended roller coaster... maybe next time.. haha...but i didn take superman twice which supposedly is the BEST ride there...heehee...
they had shrek 4-D adventure... the three little pigs were so cute... :) n of coz donkey was making an ass of himself as usual... funny... nearly wanted to keep those 3D glasses... saw some pple using it as sunglasses!! HAHA
the green room.. can u see sam n me>> haha...
my green china slippers
hydrocoaster
wavepool... the only pool which was HEATED!!!day 3:
white waterworld!!! yays.. most fun day cos i lovelove water parks....:):):) was deciding between wild wild wet n this park, but in the end decided to go to the newer park... but we later found out the other water park uses heated water in all rides so we sld have gone there!!! it was soso frezzing cold, cos the wind was blowing n we were just in tank tops n shorts!!! arh well...
but this park had fewer pple so we didn have to queue up much... :) i think we took the green room n the hydrocoaster rides abt 8-10 times each!! haha... just to get a nice shot of us on the ride..LOLS>... but the hydrocoaster was cool... the boat cld be propelled upwards by electromagnetic force...
reminded me of KL's sunway lagoon... haha... those water rides i took with kevin, mark, joel n eugene which kat watched us get wet!! i wanna go back this year!!!:)
me on the merry-go-round!!! haha...
waterski show
ferris wheel... the view was fantastic:)
cable car
the great white shark
seal performance on the pirate ship
dolphin show.. can u see the 5 dolphins in the air?? :)
day 4:
SEA WORLD!
decided not to go to dreamworld cos it is really FREAKING SCARY!!! only my sis dare to go, so she "kindly" HAHA decided not to go too... haha... my dad was actually supposed to follow her but then he decided he was too old for all of the scary rides... haha... LOLS... think his heart cannot take it...anyways, we went there once le abt 5 years ago n i cried cos my dad forced me to take the tower of terror!! the 5 fastest, tallest, most thrilling rides are there...haha... call me a scarycat...hehe...yup, seaworld seems a much better idea after the past two days of thrills at movieworld n whitewater world...
there was also the first cockscrew, triple loop rollercoaster in australia there too:) sigh, i took it twice and i hit my ear so hard it still is bleeding now...
seafood buffet for dinner... oysters, crabs, prawns... yummy, but i think i wont touch seafood anytime soon... still swimming within me.... haha....
boost...haha.... great booster for more shopping... MUHAHA... harbourtown
surfers' paradise beach! just opposite our hotel...
brisbane square... another buzzling city!
16 tempting chocolate gelati flavours... can u imagine all that?? katyana... i know u want!!! yummy...:)day 5:
harbourtown shopping!!! direct factory outlets all at one place...almost the whole day was spent shopping, seaching for swimwear too... but ended up buying other stuffs instead... finally got a belt frm fossil!! haha... wanted to get one in melb the other time so yays, finally got it here... went to pacific fair shopping centre for more shopping n tht was how we ended our day...
day 6:
in the morning went to the beach for a walk...played with water, letting the waves rush agst. my legs...then we took drive back to harbourtown to get my skirt cos after a whole night of pondering i decided to get it afterall... sigh... my fickled mindedness... yup, then we headed up north all the way to BRISBANE city... parking was really difficult but anyways, we spent the rest of the day there shopping, having tea, sightseeing etc.... came across a woman who was being fined $150 for dropping a cigarette n she was protesting rather loudly...quite a scene...anyways, the shops all closed at abt 430pm so we decided to drive back to gold coast for dinner at an indian rest.... curry curry curry...:)
7th day-last day in gold coast:drove down southwards to byron bay:) the most eastern point of australia...we actually crossed the border of queensland and new south wales, which reminded me of "a walk to remember" where she cld be at two places n one time..lols... yup, another day of travelling and sightseeing, stopping by towns, having fish n chips n kebab...we were practically on a fish n chips hunt...my sis had a craving... so 5 meals in this trip we had tht.. haha... back to melb on an 830pm flight...
one week of not-so-country life certainly makes me so happy to be back in the buzz and hustle of melb city...!!not that i didn enjoy the life away frm the city...but one week of no internet, walking in slippers, beach walking, chasing the thrill at themeparks was over that quickly... another few more days n it is back to uni...all of a sudden, i am anxious...how wld my next sem turn out to be? another half a year of studying doesn seem to tempt me at all...
n it is really freezing cold in melb, 5 degrees!!! yest night when i touch down, it was like WOAH... gold coast is only abt 20 degrees... save the earth... global warming...!!!! haha... paranoid me...
btw, sam uploaded many more pics... :) i too lazy...long long post for not blogging for a week...
