Australia Gold Coast, 2006.

Not gonna post for today cause having stomachache again so I'll just post this up !

-


I shall post a post which I'm suppose to post 3 years ago, sadly I didn't know what the word ''post'' is all about so now I am posting this !

Back then I still remembered dad and mum brought me to Chinatown's FiveStar and they said they will bring me to somewhere for holiday after my PSLE. And that person just keep telling us to go Gold coast and that's how my parents decided to go for Gold coast !

I was very happy of course, after all it's the 1st angmoh country I'm gonna visit, so I'm just wishing that PSLE will be over soon now and then. Yeah and PSLE was over, and the p6 all went for a must-go-malaysia-trip-for-all-p6-by-canberra-primary, Lanjut !

Lanjut was 3 days 2 nights if I'm not wrong, I missed my parents so much there, and I lost a total of RM 100 which I didn't even bear to use it there, fuck whoever who stole it seriously. The thief even replaced the notes with some coins so that my wallet will still have so weight. What the fuck too clever or what !?
But overall, the trip was still nice, 1st time sleeping with friends together, watching ZhangMenRen from huimin's portable dvd thingy, sharing a small cup of milo with the 3 of them, bathing together in a bathtub with jaslyn, walking together @ horror walk, counting the number of mosquitoes bites together, and everyone jumping into the pool !

Memories.
:)

Still remember our flight was at night and we have to reach the airport by 9pm. I was very excited in the taxi, feel like a dream cause I can't believe I'm on the way to australia nowwwwwwwww. And the taxi driver was dad's friend cause he asked his taxi friend to drive us there.
Don't remember is T1 or T2 though, only know it's singapore airline SQ, probably 747 cause in my mind I only know SQ747.

Reached the airport at last,



Really regret lor, last time don't know what is take photos.............. Mum ask me take I keep telling her don't want lah don't want lah, now is I everytime ask her take :(

7 hours of flying, the night sky of singapore become like sunrise when we're reaching, really it's damn niceeeeeeeeeeee, when you look out of the window, it's dark blue, you look further, it's light blue, you look even further it's like orange yellow pink !

No words can really describe it lor, why last time no take pictures !?

Reached the airport of Brisbane, I forget how it look like :/ But I remember the people who chop our passports are all angmoh ! AHAHA.
Then the door2door van came to pick us up and we set off to Gold Coast ! The van ride took about 1 hour. When we're on the highway, saw one exit to Sunshine Coast, it's the hometown of Steve Irwin if I'm not wrong ! It was just months later after the stingray accident..... R.I.P

Finally reached Gold coast, I remember seeing construction workers who are all angmoh, feel so weird cause in singapore they are all bangalas and we'll never ever see angmoh working as construction workers right. Totally made me :O.

Our hotel's called Legend Hotel, will never forget the name of it. And our room's number #1217, the room is painted in white and the bed sheet's color is navy blue. And there's a balcony where we can see the beach if we tilt our head to our left.

Yes it left such a deep impression even till now I can remember almost everything !

The 1st day was actually Free&Easy, so of course we couldn't wait to go to the beach ! But have to eat lunch first, so we walked somewhere behind the hotel and found a cafe that sell chinese food. Remembered ordering wanton mee soup for AUD10.50 ! The bowl was in yellow, the place we sat was just beside the roadside, and the road is damn clean. Really very the clean ! The air feels like genting but there's still sunlight. Love the weather !

The wanton mee soup doesn't taste nice somehow :'/


Headed to the beach after that , sand so white, water so blue, and the sea water so COLD ! Singapore sea water feels so warm but the sea water there's super cold. Some pictures that mum forced us to take :








That's all !!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? If I ever got a chance to go there again I think I'll probably flood my 2GB camera full when I come back. From the pictures the weather look very hot but they have like cold wind or something, ahhhhhh told'ya I love the weather !

But australia sun-ray not good right, easy get cancer, realized how tanned I was last time !


Think we walked back to the hotel after that, bathed and all. YAY lucky mum forced us to take some pics again, here's the balcony !





Kay trying to recall cause there's no more pictures of Day 1 left, was probably evening after that and we explored the streets of Gold coast. There's a big MNG barcelona opposite the street, a photo shop which specialise in taking antique family photos (we always have to pass by there) , 2 shopping centres, hard rock cafe (dad's fav shop) , burger shops opposite the street, many billabong ripcurl roxy quiksilver stores, and many many pubs, and many many many many more souvenir shops.

There's like a small store just outside our hotel and they sell like everything, sort of a souvenir shop I think. I bought a pink camo hoodie that cost AUD45 and have the word Australia on it from there. ^^

We had dinner @ the shopping centre, they sell chinese food too ! But chinese food really don't taste very good here...


Walked around the souvenir shops and mum bought things like hat, a small bag, water thermal (idk what's the name called but it's something can can keep your water bottle warm) that have the australia flag printed on it. And then we went back to the hotel and the next day...............................................




Day 2 !

We had breakfast at the hotel buffet, I remember their danish pastry damn nice ! Nicer than cruise one OMGOMGOMG. We can see the swimming pool which is just beside the glass, but need tilt head up to see one.

Except that there wasn't any chinese food at all, not like malaysia hotel buffet, still can make your own hor fun to eat AHAHA. After breakfast the door2door van came to fetch us again, have to go around other hotels fetching other people, love it cause can sight-seeing at the same time :D

1 picture that I took on the van, how rare !



Set off for Movie World !
:D :D :D

Remember when the van turned into the place, I was thinking why Movie world like so remoted one, like hidden in a forest or something. But there's a damn big water themepark beside it, never got a chance to play there though ):


MOVIE WORLD = AWESOME(Y)

Shall just let the pictures describe everything !





see how reluctant I am when come to taking pictures.
:(


Looney tunes village roller coaster, also our 1st ride !







-
Scooby doo roller coaster ride !

Don't have any pics though, this was the ride that both dad and I cheated mum to ride with us. We told her it's just like some choochoo train ride, no fly up fly down one. So finally she believed us and we went in the scooby doo castle and queued for the ride.

I told her the ride is some choochoo train ride cause the scooby doo movie also like that mah ! AM I NOT RIGHT !? Never did we expected the thingy we sat on suddenly turned in to a red corner.................... and then it travelled up. Ohya there's also the 2 axe thing from the scooby doo movie !


So we're on the lift. Mum keep !@#$%^&* huh cheat me come up, see now take lift, later don't know what already !@#$%^&*

And we got out of the lift, suddenly many laser lights shining around, green and red, then suddenly the car stopped.
















AND IT DROPPED DOWN FROM BEHIND WTF.

Turn and twist around, mum keep scolding from behind, me and dad having fun and screaming for fun WEEEEEEEEEE.

Ride's over, mum went to puke and even had die-real, so serious !? While waiting for mum, this is me and my weird eyes and my weird smile, say hi !



Dad and I went to ride again cause it was so fun, mum sat outside to wait for us AHAHA poor thing lah mum. This time we sat behind with some angmoh couple cause I want to try the drop backward feeling !

After that we sat under the umbrella at the bench and mum went to order fries and drinks from a Wild west store or something. The theme of the town is like those cowboys'kind, I like !

Walked deeper into the WildWest town after our lunch, as usual, forced by mum to take pics.


-
THIS RIDE ALSO VERY NICE !



Queued for the ride, this ride also got the suddenly drop back behind, then it travel around the ''mountain'' thingy, passed by skeletons that make laughing sounds out, then we went upppppppppppppppppppppppppppp , the door opened and we looked down, OMG-ED ALREADY AND SCREAMMMMMMMMMM !

TA-DA!


Think this was our last ride, the rest of the rides (all the fun one) need to queue for hours :( Went to watch a show performed by those stunt actors one, quite nice but I still prefer roller coaster rides.

The day ended just like that............... Anyway I remembered the tix for movie world was 'round $60 to $100, AUD $ I think. Now singapore universal studio also so ex one aiyoyo.


By the time we went back to the town it was already night time, had dinner @ the same shopping centre I think. (forget.....)


Day 3 !


Had buffet breakfast as usual, waited for the door2door van as usual, this time we set off to Dream world ! The place also located at some hidden forest like that, quite near Movie world also, think it's opposite !

The slide all those only end of dec then can play, we went too early lah ! >:(




In we went Dream world !
Seriously I pose like some stone statue lor.



didn't dare to play this :/
-



hi the big bully of rugrats !
-

-



Went to queue for the Cyclone behind us, longest queue ever ! It's like a tower and we have to queue from the bottom of the tower all the way up, finally our turn ! Still remember the seats look like batman color, it means black.

The turns quite giddy, can see the unfinished water themepark slides also. We bought the keychain that captured both dad and my shocked look on the roller coaster !

^^



WTF I FORGET TO PUT MY HAND IN !!!!!!





There's a very nice rugrats'theme orange-green roller coaster too ! The legs hanging free one, damn fun ! Played like 10 times of that, super regret that we couldnt try the first row of seat. Actually can one lor but I stood at the wrong place, the place beside the 1st seats !!!!!! SHIT ME. Dad went to play the Tower of Terror.......

a car that zoom up to the tower then zoom down again. My height just nice for that ride but I back out at the last moment, really don't dare :/

Tower of Terror Pictures, Images and Photos

think got 16 ppl on it.

Can't imagine the car just zoom down from behind :S

Watched some ''movie'' that makes you think you're flying or what, the scenery just pass by and all, nice (y) . Played 1 ride that keeps spinning around, damn dizzy. Started raining after that and the day ended just like that again ! Bought a hotdog there I think, while waiting for the rain to stop. That's when the weather turn very cold.

Back to hotel and it's a brand new day again !


Day 4 !

At the hotel lobby after breakfast, the swimming pool !



dad bought the hard rock cafe shirt again,
go kl buy, go bangkok buy, go everywhere also must buy.

Set off for Paradise Country farm !

Started raining again and the weather turned colddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. My hoodie jacket came to use ^^ Had our lunch there too, don't know how to appreciate angmoh food lah, everything also cheese, spaghetti I also don't like, haiyo ! They also served something that look very scary to me, now then I know the food name is lasagna. Totally scare me lor when the food came, mum and dad also look at each other, see who can eat finish AHAHA.

Explore farm time !

Went to watch some horse-riding show, took photos with the two people too !

-

Then we watched the Shave Sheep Hair thingy, they look so sad :( Got a feeling that they will be killed after that at that time, I don't know why too.






Went out to see another performance by the sheep, the people there warned us about the shitful ground, cause the whole field's full of sheep's shit.

Took some pictures after that, should have took more T________T







Bought a kangaroo t-shirt there for weiwei also !


Day ended as usual, went to the same dining place at the shopping centre. Bought a hard rock cafe teddy bear that's playing guitar. Went back to the hotel, mum decided to buy another green camo hoodie for herself this time ! But she say she can't find the hoodie anymore, don't know left at which hotel :/


Day 5 !

http://www.ingrealestate.com.au/images/Harbour%20Town%20QLD_tcm102-99307.jpg

Went to some shopping town called Harbour-Town ! Really a big shopping paradise but things are still much more ex than singapore. Bought a white adidas bottle there ! ^^ Finally a place where mum can enjoy herself and not carrying a big bag following around us @ the themeparks.

No pictures taken there ):

Ate some yucky chinese food again, AUD12.50 for a bowl of noodles :O

It was already the last day I think, we went back earlier this time ! Reached the hotel, decided to go swimming @ their swimming pool, the water taste so salty ........ eeeeeeeeeewwww. After that we went walking around the streets exploring again, went to a cafe called Gloria Jeans or something cause we got nothing else to do and dad's tired of walking.

Talked about many things over there, dad asked if we can emigrate to here, will I want to. Told him of course want lah, so many themeparks ! (last time childish, mind only got themepark) Then he reminded me of singapore's food, the mrt, orchard road and all that I will miss. Yeah singapore's still better. Cause at there, I really miss singapore food sososo much !

Went back to the hotel and took some last pictures. THAT'S ME AND MY AH DAI LOOK :)





AHAHA, both look so smug face I don't know why.

Still remember the last night at the hotel , I couldn't fall asleep, cause in hours later, I'm gonna leave this place, and I'll be waking up from my dreams... Kept staring out at the balcony while lying on the bed, will never forget the name of building oppo our hotel, Watermark. Ohya forget to say, for the past few nights dad mum and I always play taidi with the singapore airline pokercards ! How can I forget about this ! Actually is I force them to play with me cause I don't want to sleep so early.


So the day still came, totally emo-ing all the way from Gold coast to Brisbane, throughout the whole van ride to brisbane, I was looking out of the window, thinking of the past few days. SQ747 again and I don't want to remember that we reached Singapore around 6am.





BACK TO REALITY SINGAPORE, NO MORE ANGMOH COUNTRY :( Okay gonna end this post now, must save electricity bills also . Long post I guess?
