It's time to blog about my Aussie Trip! ^^v
(Agree with Son) Gold Coast is SUPER FUN! FUN!
I'm missing the days in Aust so much. The 12 days in Australia were one of the few most memorable events in my life. I want to go back to Aust !
[The Aust trip's entries will be divided into three parts and each part will consist of events in three days. =D]
Aust trip ( 21/3/2007-1/4/2007)Day 1 (20/3/07-21/3/07)
Finally, I got the chance to take aeroplane again. I was freaking ecstatic. The last time I took an aeroplane was like 10 years ago. =X Very very long ago. That year, I was only in my primary 4. Hmmm. 10 Years old? I went to China, Beijing and Thailand. If I didn't remember wrongly, I took Singapore Airlines to China and Korean Air to Thailand. I think I took Thai Airway from Chang Mai to BangKok. From young, I just simply love passenger aeroplanes (not those fighter planes =X). That explains why I love to go to Changi Airport to see aeroplanes at the viewing hall either when I'm super down or super happy. =D So, you guys can imagine how happy I was when I had the opportunity to take an aeroplane! Anyway, thats besides the point.
Aunt Ivy & uncle came to pick son and I up at 6.30pm on 20/3. Did I mention that i was taking a night flight? Yup. Our flight was 9.05pm and we were supposed to reach Changi Airport like 2 hours earlier. I must compliement uncle that he knows our singapore road so well and he can even predict the time needed from my house to airport. We reached airport on dot, 7.05pm. =D
Random shots 
This time I took Emirates Airlines. This airline has its base at Dubai, some middle east country. I took the aeroplane, model Boeing 777-300. This model is one of the larger aeroplanes. I want to take A380 aeroplane, the largest passenger aeroplane in the world. It's a double decker aeroplane. =D Maybe someday...
Here is the interior of the aeroplane....
If you guys know me well, you will know I like to take window sit. However, son has this liking too. Hahah.. Being nice, I let him take the window seat.
Son and I, on the plane.
Personal entertainment on the plane. Radio, Movie, Games etc...
The screen will actually show the temperature outside the aeroplane, the height which aeroplane was and the distance to destination. Look at the temperature, is -8 degree! =X The temperature went down to -43 degree when it was at the very top. -___-
I wondered how it felt like being at outside the aeroplane.
Anyhows, I am so looking forward to the dinner at the aeroplane. Don't ask me why. I just like aeroplane food, in general. I like their food presentation. ^^v
Dinner 
Lamb Navarin. Can you see my chocolates? ^^v I love it. BUT, the air stewardess took it away when she was clearing the tray. Awww. I was sad ok!. My chocs was gone. Hahaa.. Son was nice la. He gave me half of his. So, I 'm happy again. Dots. Emo
boy. =X
Tried so hard to sleep in the plane but I just can't sleep. =X Awww, So i waited and waited. Its breakfast !
When we were about to reach Brisbane, we saw this... Son took all of these. Nice right? =D Haha..
Look at this...
Dec 28 babies rock!! ^^v heee
Did I mention there was this singaporean air-stewardess who is super nice. As I like plane model alot, I asked her whether she has one. She was like saying " We don't have one at this flight, you give me a minute ah." Then, she returned with a big bag of freebies for us. "There you go, I got you guys whatever I can give you", she said. That was super nice of her. I was certainly touched by her and her services. Excellent. =D
Our goodies bag! =)
Everything in the bag! ^^ Toothbrush, poker cards, shaver, blindfolds, pen, toothpaste etc...
What touched me more was the effort she took to get everything in pairs so that son and I can get one of each. Sweet~ Then, She brought out this polariod camera and took a picture of us and gave this to us...
She is nice, isn't she? =D
Reached Australia, Brisbane International Airport at 8am (Australia time) -In case, you guys didn't know, Australia time is 2 hours ahead of us. This means 8am in Aust = 6am in Sing. When we came out of the Airport, Big aunt and Clement were already there waiting for us. I heard that Aunt and Clement specially take a day off from work and school just for our arrival. I'm touched. Aunt brought us to their Chinatown and had Mac breakfast there. Their Harshbrown tastes weird. =X
After breakfast, I was asking Clement to bring me to their farm. Haha... As an Urban kid, visiting farms is rare for me. So, yeah. In the end... We ended up here =)
Strawberries farm!
Didn't see the strawberries though. =X If you guys know me well, you should know don loves strawberries. =)
We ended up feeding sheeps, goats and PIG? LOL
After that, I suggested to go home to put luggages and rest a while because I was so damn tired. Didn't sleep in the plane. =X
Aunt's house
It's freaking BIG! Even their bathrooms (especially their master bathroom)is about the size of our room in Singapore. DOTS. =P
Rested a while. The, Aunt drove us to WestField to shop.
We saw puppies there.... =) I love DOGS/PUPPIES. SO CUTE!
Oh, In Australia, their shops close very early, at about 4-5pm. At about 4pm, while waiting for my aunt to come and fetch us home, we went to Cold Rock to have Ice-cream- Yummy!
As usual, took some pics at there. I realised I never really look nice in pictures. =X (Like what sis alway say, ugly people sure look ugly in pictures too)
I shall award my Aunt with the best culinary award. =)She sure knows how to cook. For the whole trip, I tasted all her yummy food. Laska, Fishball noodle, Cakes, Prawn Noodle, Carrot Cake etc... (Let me think, I guess there thats all for that day-we slept pretty early that night because we were so damn tired.)
Day 2 (22/3/07)Went to Australia Fair shopping centre!
That was the shop named Cardiology- Not a shop for heart. =X Instead, a shop which sells cards? Interesting name, isn't it. When I first saw it, my reaction was OH MY GOD. So interesting. Reminded me of what my friend said- If you are heart broken, you need a cardiologist. Lame -___-
Lunch, I had fish & chips and Son had lasagne
Their chips (fries) seem like Free of Charge- They give alot of it! Believe it or not- We never finish the chips in Aust before or maybe once for me.
OH. There was this sale girl. Pretty and Cute. =) After buying stuff from that particular shop, I was telling son that I feel like taking picture with that girl. AND, we wactually went back to look for that girl. Unfortunately, she wasn't around as she was taking her 5 mins break. We waited for her to return. Yeah. It was funny.
Saw this. Beautiful, isn't it? Lasted for a very short time.
I MISS playing playground. Call me childish, I don't care!
After that we took the bus back home. It was our first time taking the bus and like we were so afraid that we'd miss our stop, we actually asked the bus driver to let us know when we've reached our stop. The bus driver was kinda friendly. Aiya, the people there are friendly. Yeps.
(Okay, I'm so so lazy to type this Para- Adapted from Son's blog =X)
Bus interior
Bus ticket- The bus driver actually give changes when you pay them, unlike singapore. =X
Thats what we got so far. The larger stack one belongs to son. He is a shopping king!
Shopping with son is fun because he gives valuable opinion and we are both vainy. =X LOL Unlike some guy friends- Tell me the stuff I bought is ugly after I bought it. SO DOTS.
Day 3 (23/3/07)We woke Clement up freaking early to drive us to warehouse sales - Billabong, Roxy, Ripcurl warehouses!
I didn't spend alot as compared to son. Spent $100 aussie.
After that, we had to take a bus to Surfers Paradise ourselves because Clement was nearly late for school.
I like those shots- taken by son. Seems so professional, yeah?
Surfers Paradise! We actually went to this place for 4-5 times during our 12 days in Aust. =P
There's time zone too =)
Had our dinner at Pizza-hut. A pizza buffet! Cool right? LOL
Desserts!!!
Okay- Bus home again.
That's all for the first 3 days in Aust. More coming up!
To be continued...Wow. Finally, I finished the 3 days entry of Aust trip. =X You know what? My piano has a name now -Pianino ^^
Pianino is my best friend. He shares my pain, my sorrow and my happiness. He consoles me when I'm down and share the joy with me when I'm happy. I love this best friend of mine. =) He rocks. ^^v
still the same.|
