2007-05-19T08:23:00.001-07:00

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)

Made of sand :)

Like brothers? son & jason

me, son, linnett's parents

Jason, linnett's parents, linett

The supper was so delicious...

Cute Jason (:

D, J, L

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)

Day 12 (1/4/07)

Last day in Gold Coast!!! AWWWWWWWW... I want to stay longer!! =X

Backyard

Jason & I

Me, Aunt & Uncle

Did some last minute packing. Then went for lunch at this chinese restaurant..
You guys know what we ate? DIM SUM! OMG I love Dim sum!!!

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)

Dinner on flight

Main course

My aunts went to the airport to pick me up. =) This marked the end of this aust trip.

Australia Trip (Day 7, 8 & 9)

2007-04-28T08:33:00.000-07:00

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. =)

son's beef bolognese!

Mine is PARISIAN

Oui, oui! Add a little European flavour to your
crêpe with ham*, tasty cheese and a fresh
mushroom filling (adapted from http://www.thecrepecafe.com/cafeexpress/OurProducts/Crepes/tabid/102/Default.aspx)

Shopped abit more, then complete pacific fair liao. Chey no kick one. Went home by bus again..(adapted from son's blog)

HAHA~~~

Day 8 (28/3/07)

Suntan day @ Surfers oaradise beach! !!! I heart sun tanning eventhough its hard for me to get tan. Bleh~

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)

Mine!- AUSSIE SUNRISE
A hearty Aussie breakfast crêpe of crispy
bacon*, egg and cheese to kick-start your day.

Son's-FARMHOUSE
A chunky chicken crêpe filled with grated
cheese, sliced mushrooms and a deliciously
creamy bechamel sauce.

YUMMY!!!!!!! Love crepes! YAY!

After lunch, we went for some airbrush tattooing.

In the process of tattooing~~~ For me!!

Me with the tattoo

In the process of tattooing~~~ For son!!

Son with the tattoo

(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...

Australia Trip (Day 4, 5 & 6)

2007-04-28T08:32:00.001-07:00

Day 4 (24/3/07)

Alright. I shall continue with my update on the Aust trip.

Breakfast (Bacon + egg with iced milo) -Jason said my bacon was overcooked =X It's not!

A typical breakfast in Aust is shown above. =) I made this for son. (I'm nice right? Joking) Hahaa.. He will alway eat with a glass of iced milo (& Of course, I prepared the iced milo too). ^^ HAHA. He drank iced milo for breakfast every single day in Aust. I guess he love iced milo alot. =P

After breakfast, we were off to our first theme park, the warners bro. movie world!

As soon as we stepped into the theme park, we saw this:

My first reaction is "Oh my god!" I'm a timid person who is afriad of thrilling rides. Oh well, but alot better than MICK CHEN. He doesn't even dare to take any thrilling rides in genting theme park. =X

(Adapted from son's blog)

And i was like "Omg pa we have to try this!"

And that became our first ride! LOL!

I think pa super sian diao. Cos he thought he could warm up abit with some other rides first...

He's scared of thrilling rides lah =X

So err.. we went to find a locker, threw our stuffs in there, and i practically dragged pa to the queue for superman escape. Haha.

It was sooooooo fun! It's like a monorail at the start. Fast one, inside a building. Then when it's near the exit of the building, which is the part that goes almost vertically up, it stops for awhile, then suddenly launches forward and shoots all the way up. And the rest of the ride continues..

Pa screamed =X

-----------------------
Alright. I admitted that I screamed. Anyway, I love screaming, felt so good after it. Theme park is the only place were I can officially scream. -_- LOL. I screamed so much that after each ride I thought it's nothing as scary as what I had imagined. =X

Pictures...

See this??!!?! Willy Wonka Chocolate factory in movie world! LOL. I love that "Charlie and the Chocolate factory" novel so much. I remembered when I was young, I imagine how cool it can get if I actually have a chocolate factory like Willy Wonka. A typical Chocs freak =/

There was this police academy thingy at around 1.30pm. The show was good and it showed us many stunts!

Then, at about 2.30pm, there was this don't-know-what parade.

He is so damn tall! I hate him. =X Bleh. HAHA

After that, its time for another ride again.

"Muahahah.. I think pa wanted to kill me like so much =X" (Adapted from son's blog)

HAHA. That was so not true ok! I don't have the intention to kill my son. LOL

So, the ride is called lethal weapon. Look at this...

Okay. I admit I'm uber lazy. =X

Now read this -->

(Adapted from son's blog)

Pa screamed again =X

Anyhows.. Roamed about somemore, had hotdog bun for lunch. Wah the hotdogs there... SUPER long lah! LOL omg sounds so wrong -_______-

Oh we went for this shrek 4D thingy too. Caught the last show time :)

And we had to wear this 4D spec thingy.. Just like the 3D ones.

The show was alright. You know, you sit on this seat and the seat will move that kinda thingy? It's pretty interesting how they make you feel spiders at your feet and spray water at you when the characters sneeze. Then you'll start hearing people go "eeew". I was one of them. HAH.

Our last ride for the day- Wild west falls

Can anyone tell me how NOT to get drenched in this kind of ride? lol

DRENCHED!

Then. it was about time to go home.

At night, we were kinda bored so Clement decided to bring us all to timezone! Haha. Clement, Clement's girlfriend, Linnett, Jason, son and i went. Super fun lah!

Got this card for 15bucks. And it allows you to play unlimited games for the first hour on those normal machines. Then for second hour, you get to play bumper car, mini golf and "laser quest" thing. I call this a Arcade buffet. LOL. VERY FUN. =D

Linett and I were riding those horses. Trust me! Riding on horses is Damn tiring. It made mt butt damn pain. =X

Jason was playing the mini golf

We ended our day with some card games like heart attack. That was all for that day. =D

Day 5 (25/3/07)

Another theme park - Dream world!

We (Clement, his gf, Linett, Jason, Son & me) went to dream world together. And Of course, Clement was the one driving us there.

Introducing the top 5 (minus 1- because I forgot to take a picture of it =X) thrilling rides...

The claws

Wipeout

Giant drop and Tower of Terror

The Giant dop is actually twice the height of the one at genting theme park. =X 120m tall! Anyway, nobody dares to play except son. Son doesn't want to play because no one dare to "pei" him. Wow. I think he was damn disappointed. A part of me really want to get onto the ride with son but another part of me was afraid I might just die halfway in the ride especially when I have slight heart murmur. =X Hmmm.. In the end, I still didn't try. Sad~

Bad weather to start the day with. It rained lor -.-"

It started raining when we were queuing for the wipeout. Then when it was our turn, the rain became even heavier. But guess what? The ride continued! HAHAHA. Super cool lah! So we played wipeout in the rain. FUN! (Adapted from son's blog)

Pictures!!

Linett

Jason

Went to some wildlife thingy...

Koala Bear-> Look at how they sleep. So cute right? ^^

Kangaroo ( I realised they sit like how cat sit?- LOL)

We went to watch tiger shows after that.

Before we leave the park...

Jason & Linett

Group pic (:

Son & I

We didn't managed to play the tower of terror because it was closed. =X

Day 6 (26/3/07)

Breakfast!

Clement made this breakfast for me. WOW. I was impressed that he can actually cook. LOL

Shopping at Harbour town!

Cam-whoring

After shopping, we headed home for dinner. Home sweet home~~ It was boring after dinner. Thus, decided to play with poker cards. Son showed us many poker cards tricks. I was so impressed by him. Anyway, we figured how some tricks worked at the end. They also build things with poker cards.

Jason was building a bridge with those cards

This was built by son. Quite amazing thingy.

It can hold a toy gun

It can hold a bottle of water too

It can hold 2 bottles of water! OMG Super strong. =)

Alright. Thats for now. =D

To be continued...

Australia Trip (Day 1, 2 & 3)

2007-04-28T08:29:00.002-07:00

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

Genting Trip (part4)

2007-04-28T08:29:00.001-07:00

This is the last part of the genting trip. (I apologise for this very late posting!>

1/3/2007 (Thur)

So fast! It was the last day of our genting trip. We had our dim sum breakfast at a halal chinese restaurant located near the casino at genting. Wahahaha.. The restautant is so near the casino that I alway walk to the wrong way to the casino.So dots. =X Dim sum rocks! I simply love dim sum. They made my day. I agree that a good breakfast can brighten up a person's day. =D Oh well, at least it brightened up my day?

After our breakfast, as usual, we started taking pictures again. By then, we left with about two hours before the departure of the bus from Genting back to Singapore. With two hours, we started doing some last minute shopping! I remembered we shopped until we nearly missed our bus. We had to rush to the bus like "amazing race." Hahaha... It was quite fun though. ^^

The whole bus trip back to Singapore took us another seven hours with few stopover during the journey. We reached Singapore at about 9pm on the same day and then we had our late dinner at Boon Lay Food centre. All of us ate the Famous Boon Lay Nasi Lemak for dinner. After dinner, it marked the end of our Genting trip 2007. This trip was really fun and enjoyable. =D

28/2/07 (wed)

Our most important meal of the day was settled at Coffee Terrace for their Breakfast Buffet. Yummy! ^^ (pictures coming up) After the satisfactory breakfast, we headed back to the hotel room. We started packing our belonging as we were moving to Resort Hotel. The hotel room in Resort Hotel was two times bigger than the one at First World hotel, with two queen-size beds.

Anyway, after a short rest, we headed to the outdoor theme park!-The highlight of the day =D
Guess what?!?! I can't believe I took most of the rides, which includes those thrill rides which I've never have the guts to try previously when I came with my family. I must admit I screamed and shouted like "crazy"when I took those thrill rides like Space Shot and Corkscrew. Dotss... Well, BUT it was really fun shouting and screaming. Scream and shout out all your unhappiness. Great~ ^^v Actually, I shouted so much till I didn't feel the thrill of each ride at the end. Okay. That's kind of DOTS. -_-" Oh well, I enjoyed it alot though.

Space shot

During the first rapid descent, I can't even shout or scream because it happened too fast for me to react. I only started shouting during the second rapid descent. =X

Corkscrew

After the theme park rides, it was about dinner time. Hence, we decided to look for dining place. Initially, we thought of going to a restaurant to eat dim sum. I know it was kind of weird to eat dim sum for dinner. But, who cares? One of the waiters (Yang-yang like -> In Hanakimi) told us that the restaurant will only be opened at 6pm and dim sum will still be available at dinner time. So we waited until 6pm for it. Shitty. Guess what?!!?! Only after we had our seats in the restaurant, we realised that dim sum was not available. Oh my goodness. Thanks to that yang yang lah. So damn pai seh. We have to walk out of the restaurant without ordering anything. Dots.

In the end, we ended up eating japanese food which was kind of a good alternative to dim sum. =D Actually, that day was kind of a suay day. All four of us encountered some suay incidents. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it alot. =D

1) Zak lost her bracelet
2) Su's shoes were torn during one of the rides
3) A bug was found in Chris's jap food
4) I lost Zak's ring (I was super guilty about it man-Sigh)

After dinner was shopping time again! Shop for gifts for friends and family. ^^v
I slept quite early that night because of the lack of sleep for the past nights. In additions, I was down with a runny nose. Okay lah. I am lousy. =X The temperature there was 14 degree that night. Super cold. I cannot go out of my hotel room without my favourite sweater man.

Pictures !!!!!!!!

Look at the temperature indicator! It was 14 degree! Super cold but I love it.

27/2/07 (Tue)

After 7 hours of long journey, we finally arrived at Genting Highland at about 2pm! Wootssssss!

Yay!! The first thing we did after the arrival was to check in to First World Hotel. The room was quite a small and pathetic one. There were only two single-size beds to accomodate four of us. Well, well, well. Its okay though since we will have another better hotel to stay in on the 28/2/07.

After hotel check-in, we went searching for food. Our lunch...

Our first lunch at genting in this trip.
--> At Marybrown fast food restaurant

Pictures and MORE pictures

We spent the the remaining of the day shopping at first world plaza and taking lots of pictures. After shopping, we decided to have high tea at coffee bean. =D

Oh. When I was shopping, I tried one of the muffles and took a picture. Wahaha =P

Thanks peeps. ^^v For the rest of my entry, I'll fill you guys with pics and pics of my genting trip. =D BUT, not forgetting some description for each pic. ^^

Four of us who were involved in the trip:
1) Su
2) Zak
3) Chris
4) ME ^^

(26/2/07)-Monday
The fun started even before our trip. ^^ As we had to reach the departure point at 7am the next day (which means have to wake up at 4.30am), Su and I decided to stay at Zak's house for the night before the departure day. After we had our dinner at Zak's house, we spent our time watching Hanakimi. Hahaa... Nice show man! Love this taiwan Drama lots. After the show, guess what we played? UNO! Wahaha..

Dotss.... Zak is showing us all her cards on cam without knowing. Wahaha.. =X

After card game was supper time! Zak's mummy bought some traditional malay food for us. Nice lah! Haha... Literally translated in english, the dish is call "soup bone" Hahaa.. Its actually mutton lah.

Alright. All of us then decided NOT TO SLEEP for that night. In the end, that Ku Ku Zak actually fell asleep. Ku Ku lah! Wahhaaa.. Su was stuck with her front episodes of Hanakimi which I have already watched it. So, I decided to use Zak's com to go online. Chatted with Sis and son. Sometimes, they just made me feel really glad to have them as friends. Don't ask me why, just feel this way. =D

(27/2/07)-Tuesday

Everyone started changing clothes and getting themselves ready at 4.30am. Suay! I dropped my contact lenses on the floor. We had our morning breakfast at Mac. Oh man, you can imagine how happy I was when I got to eat mac breakfast! Simply rockz!

Reached the departure point 45 mintues earlier. Ok. My fault! =X I rush them Wahhaa..
OhOh . I must mention about the coach we took to genting. It's super duper high class. Excutive class. I love that coach as it's super comfortable. =D This coach has only 16 seats. So, you guys can imagine how spacious the seat is. There is a personal LCD TV at each seat. In additon, the seat is a massage chair. We can play games and watch movies on the LCD TV too! Cool, isn't it?
As this coach is a double decker bus, all the 16-seats are on the top deck and the bottom deck is a video room with sofa and small pillow for us to relax. =D

Let the pictures bring you through.^^
