Day 10 (30/3/07)Wet'n'Wild day! Jason was already having his holidays so he joined us :) He had this annual pass thingy and it allows him to enter the theme park for like unlimited number of times within one year! Omg if i live there i'll go like everyday i tell you. Cos their Wet'n'Wild's super nice! (Son J.L., 2007)
Woke up kinda early. Prepared, ate breakfast, and got ready to go! Jason's parents drove us there :D Didn't even style my hair. Like dUh~ We're goin' swimming! Hah. Reached there at around 11am. Found a locker, took of my top, applied a little sun block, showed off my new fake tattoo, and we're off to attack the waters! Lol. Oh talking about sun block, that was the first time i applied sun block. HAHA! Well, i just went for tanning two days ago and i didn't want to be sunburnt mah. GAH. (Son J.L., 2007)
Wet 'N' Wild!
First up, we went for that Calypso Beach thing. I remember calling it the lazy river or something. Well, it's this river thingy with a slow current. And all you have to do is just lie on a tube and relax or enjoy the sun while flowing with the current. We went for don't know how many rounds. (Son J.L., 2007)
Next up, we tried the White Water Mountain. It's like the normal water slides you have at most water theme parks. There were four slides but like only three were opened for that day. They're called cascade, bombora, ripcurl and pipeline i think. Queue was pretty long and we queued for quite awhile. Lucky the guard there was funny. Oh and he kept spraying water at us! -__-" Jason went on the bombora and pa and i went on the cascade. Eh, or was it the other way round? Haiyah heck. (Son J.L., 2007)
After the slide thingy, Jason wanted to go for the Super 8 Aqua Racer thingy. So we went. It was fun! :) There's like 8 lanes and as the name suggest, it's a race thing. Grab a float, wait for your turn, get ready, and when the light goes green, just push yourself and slide all the way down. And they actually have this display thingy that tells you which position you came in at! How cool. And i learnt one thing from that. The heavier you are, the faster you'll go. LOL. (Son J.L., 2007)
Next up was Twister. Damn fun la! And it's super fast! There's like this two tubes that twists around one another. Hmm.. Don't know how to explain it. Aiya i'll just show the picture lah. Pa and Jason went on it first, then jason accompanied me and went on it again. Hah. (Son J.L., 2007) 
There's the Super 8 Aqua Racer, Twister and Speed Coaster

A GIANT & A DWARF NONONO- HAHA The other way round- A dwarf and a giant
Hmm.. What else what else? Oh oh. We tried the Mammoth Falls too! It's this big family ride and they have those giant six-persons tube. But pa, jason and i got one tube for ourselves. Hah. Pretty fun. (Son J.L., 2007)
The Mammoth Falls

Wave pool
Played in the waves for awhile, then was feeling exhausted. So i went to the chairs there and suntanned while pa and jason continued playing in the waves. Lol. Ahhhhh i love the sun there!
Tried the Blackhole after that. It's like those slide thingy also but you need tube for that. And know why is it called the black hole? Cos you can't see a single thing inside! Lol. You won't even be able to anticipate the next twist or turn. Super fun. (Son J.L., 2007)
The Blackhole
Oh. And there's where we met James. Made a new friend there. HAH. He's from sydney and doing his own business. Damn cool lor! He's like in his early twenties and he's doing his own business. Omg what am i doing here? Tsk tsk.. Anyhows, since james was alone, he went on other rides with us also. Lol.
Went on the Mach 5 after that. Totally love it! See the picture and you'll know why..
(Son J.L., 2007)
Mach 5!
OMG i totally love the center slide can?! The drop... Gawd totally love it!
Tornado was next. LOVE IT! It's like a two person per ride thing. Get on the tube, start by sliding into this tunnel, then there's this U-turn, then a sudden steep plunge down into this cone thing. After that, you go up and down, up and down. Omg so difficult to describe! Pictures pictures.(Son J.L., 2007)
Tornado
After that, we ran all the way to the Speed Coaster. Lol. Cos it was close to 5pm and the theme park was closing. It was like running from one end of the theme park to the other end can. Damn tired =X While we were preparing for the ride, that person was telling us that we're lucky cos they're like going to shut off all the water in a few minutes time. Damn we were lucky :D
So.. We managed to try all the rides that were opened for that day :D There were one or two rides closed but aiya it's alright. Next time then. HAH. I wanna go again! .(Son J.L., 2007) 
Me, jason, son & James

Mirror Reflection
Went home after that. Slacked for awhile, played badminton, had dinner, then Linnett's parents brought us out for night shopping and supper :)(Son J.L., 2007)
Oh before night shopping, we stopped by this fun fair thing. And they have the bungee ball thing lar! Too bad no one dared to accompany me for that =.="
(Son J.L., 2007)
"Fooling" in the car

Cam-whoring?

The flying Coaster

the sling shot (bungee ball) and vomatron
VOMATRON
It's really really fast, turns in two different directions, and the seat itself can turn 360degrees also de can. Damn fun!
After that was night shopping at Surfers :D Saw alot of interesting stuffs. And night shopping is nice! Especially when it's just beside the beach.(Son J.L., 2007)

We started packing our luggages that night. I was so impressed by how son can squeeze so many things in the small luggage of his.
Day 11 (31/3/07)Linnett's parents brought us to the shark club for lunch :)

It was buffet style and food was good!
Oh yah. Linnett's mum went to order a cake for linnett. I think she had the voucher thing. Happy belated birthday linnett!
After that, jason and linnett had to go for some tuition thingy. Then linnett's parents brought us to the weekend market :)

After weekend market, was supposed to go home but pa and i decided to drop off at Surfers instead for a little last minute shopping. Lol. Second last day leh! So 舍不得. Lol. Went home by bus again after that. Had dinner, practised Still Waters, learnt alittle bit of guitar, and crazed around with linnett and jason again. Hah. Fun~ :D (Son J.L., 2007)

Did some last minute packing. Then went for lunch at this chinese restaurant..

After lunch, they brought us to the Hinze Dam. Too bad the water level for that day was kinda low. Otherwise we could've seen the waterfall :(


Me & Dixon





they went to pick firewood for bbq-ing purposes! They use firewood, not charcoal.. So cool can.
Had dinner at another chinese restaurant in Brisbane.
After dinner, it was time to head for the airport already. Awww...

Taken before departure from Brisbane
And finally, goodbye Australia.

Sorta slept all the way for the flight this time. Didn't even bother to wake up for supper or something. Lol. Reached singapore at around 1plus am. Momo and daddy went to the airport to pick me up :D
Heard jason's coming back to singapore at the end of the year. Hopefully it'll be confirmed. Then i'll get to see him again! Hahah. And by that time, i'll most probably be botak. Oh drats.. He'll be laughing at me! Sheesh =/(Son J.L., 2007)

Day 7 (27/3/07)
Adapted from son's blog
Shopping day at pacific fair! Lol. As usual, shopping = forget camera.
Heard pacific fair's SO big that some people can't even finish it in a day. Come on! Pa and i finished it in like four hours? Are we shopping kings or what?
I'm soooooooo lazy. =X
Anyway, Day 7 was a shopping day at Pacific Fair Shopping Centre.
At the bus stop...
Cam-whoring

Pacific Fair

We saw this shop, Choclicious House of Chocolate, in Pacific Fair and I find the shop's name VERY interesting.
In the shop, I saw this quote & I love this quote alot!


Wah the chocolates there damn cheap can! It's like 8plus bucks per 100gram? SUPER cheap!! (Adapted from son's blog)
*Nodding my head in agreement* Agree! =)

I ate them all in less than 30 minutes? Wahahhaa. Love it. I don't like the packaging though. =X

The name is pretty appropriate you know? It's like so damn difficult to find a shop that sells sweets there lar! So when you see a shop selling sweets, it's like heaven. Totally. (Adapted from son's blog)

Toys"R"us
I used to love this shop alot when I was younger. I envy my cousins who can get new toys everytime. HAHA~ Mummy seldom buy toy for me. =X
Son and I had our lunch at the crepe cafe for that day. I love crepes! Its freaking nice. lalalaa. =)

Oui, oui! Add a little European flavour to your

Newly bought slippers - Billabong! =)

Gold coast beach!!!


I love their beach! Their sand is xtra, xtra FINE!
We sun tanned for 2 hours.

( Left- Son's & Right- Me!)
=X Even after 2 hours, I'm still so fair whereas Son was already like.... Hmmm.. Nothing. Haa~ I think my skin is just natural fair. Come on. Girls, envy me bah. I don't need any whitening cream or whatsoever, I'm still fair. Bleh~ Actually I want to get tan! So after I see the big different between son's and mine. I was like wth la. Anyway, when I came back to singapore, mummy actually commented that I'm darker now and she went like "But you look ugly when you are tan" Where got!!??!?! =X
The lunch was at the crepe cafe again. Wahaha.. Dots.
We had crepes for lunch again! LOL. Siao hor.. But who cares? I like, pa like, can liao. (adapted from son's blog)

Went home after that. Was kinda surprised that no adults were at home. Just linnett, jason and dixon. And guess what????? Jason cooked scrambled eggs for us that night!! Everyone helped. I also got help okay.. I helped to take pictures. HAH =X
Freaking cool lah. He's like in grade6 and he knows how to cook! I'm like 19 and i know how to burn the kitchen nia. Omg so throw face..
Yup. I was kinda impressed my Jason too. =D Anyway, let these pictures explain everything. =)






Had a great dinner!!!
Like what son said. We have nice dinner everynight. ^^v
Day 9 (29/3/07)
Adapted from son's blog
Went brisbane on day9. Pa and i wanted to try the train there ourselves so yeah.. And the train journey takes like one hour from gold coast to brisbane lor! One hour! So omg la.
That day pa woke me up really really early.
Waking up early = not enough sleep = grumpy me
Mood swing-ed that day =X
Sorry pa!
I felt guilty having to do all sorts of funny things just to get son out of the bed. >.< 


Ticket machine

The train station



For some stops, the train's door will not open. You have to press the button to open the door. Interesting right?

Oh ya! From one cabin to the next, there are doors. Have to press the button to open them. Cool? So unlike singapore where people can stand between the "linkway" of one cabin and the next.
Didn't like brisbane at all =X
Cause it's so city like! Just like singapore. Everyone's wearing formal, and it's so fast paced. Got the orchard or shenton way feel. Don't like it one bit. I prefer gold coast. The pace there is so much slower. People there are much more friendly. Everyone can wear bermudas and slippers go out. And i like it. Yeps. (Adapted from son's blog)
Oh well.. I don't like it either. Same reason. Bleh~


Jelly beans!!
We didn't shop for long at brisbane, only for about 1-1.5 hours. Then, decided to head back to westfield for a bit more shopping.
At the station, I saw this...

Can you guys see? It says "Smoking is now banned within 4 metres of building doorways."
Singapore should implement the same law. HAha~
Oh! We had Cold rock ice cream on that day too. Haha.. Ice cream makes me a happy boy. =)
That night, linnett taught son that song called "still water." Then, son taught me. So.. I have to thank linnett and son! HAHA.

Why didn't my mum let me learn piano when I was young? Arrgghh. Eventhough, I picked up piano a year ago, its never the same as people who learn it from young. =X Sigh~ I admire people who can play piano very well.
Oh, we played badminton too.


Son gonna kill me for uploading this picture of him wearing spec. =X He said he looks ugly with spec. I think he looks alright with it. Innocent looking. HAHA
Slept pretty early that day as the next day was Wet n' Wild day!
To be continued...
