Hi Singapore
... Bye Australia!~

YEAP. I AM OFFICIALLY BACK (:
Lol, it feels like I haven't used the com in ages, I'm even typing wrong ;D
HAHA :)

Kkays! So the trip was pretty fun! WHOO HOO. OMGGGGGGGG we took plenty of photos, about 2000 + possibly no I'm nt kiddin'

HAHA. Okay, so the plan was to take a lot of pictures this trip, but because I'd forgotten to bring my camera charger, my battery was soon flat so it was mostly my dad taking all the photos. Hahaha he always takes lots of pictures when we go overseas. :D

Hee :D Thankyou all who tagged while I was away. It really made my day :DDDD much love yeah =)

kk I will talk abt the trip now! Excitedd!

It was really fun because I did stuff tt I don't get to do in Singapore usually cos it is so friggin boring at times. (sometimes we can't decide where to go because town is boring but there's no where else). Hahaha okay since it's like 8-9 days I can't elaborate in much detail, so I shall just give a quick overview kk :) I surfed, shopped (A LOT :D), went to theme parks over two days, camwhored a lot and wernt to the beach. Uh, yeah. Haha! We went walking on the streets after dinner one night at Noosa, and there were so many drunk youngsters walking abt. Haha. And the people there really dress up. Everyone's in a dress, unlike the typical rather sloppy Singaporean. Haha, basically you would find maxi dresses or the normal kind, and for footwear it is entirely either gladiators or havaianas. Gold Coast was less synchronised in that sense. Yepppp.

HAHAAHA okay so like surfing was really fun! The water was cold but really nice haha. It was my first time, so when we first got in to the water and sat on our surfboards and all the feeling was quite new and refreshing. It was awesomee splashing around in the water and just laughing and enjoying ourselves. We were in a class of about ten? and yeah the instructor was really nice. And u know what? I managed to stand! Okay the first few times my mind blanked out so I couldn't figure what I was supposed to do w my body in time, but after I stood up for the first time it became pretty instinctive after that.

SHOPPING. Hahaha I love shopping! Okay I think you know that by nw. Anyway, I loved all the beautiful shops in Noosa, Sunshine Coast. They are so nice, it's like this little clean street with people and stuff. And the clothes are so nice. But not that cheap. But it's still okay, around the same as Singapore.. Gold Coast shopping wasn't as fun. But anyway I still bought a lot of cute stuff!

We went to this something market (starts with an E) and I found cute nail files there which you would probably never find here in Singapore. Hehe.. :) We ate ice-cream and saw this man balancing on a stool based on 3 layers of glass bottles and stuff: juggling fire, a knive and a tennis racket, performing on the streets!!

Yupppp! And it was off to Gold Coast. The whole eight days seemed pretty short acutally, the holiday seemed to have gone by in a flash without us doing a lot of things.. maybe we were in a relaxed, blurry, mood. Went to dreamworld and Whitewaterworld over a span of two days.. one for each theme park, mainly. It was fantastic! I wish I had gone for at least one really scary ride, now. Haha get the thrilling feeling. Anyway, we sat on many roller coasters at Dreamworld and it was pretty awesome, just that I felt most of them were the same. It was ttly great all the rides. The water rides were amazing, totally a new experience. The most memorable was the octopus. You lie flat on a board and the water pushes you down this futuristic like tunnel and then you reach this slide with three bumps that brings you up and down and gives your heart a falling feeling.

Yep, so it was quite awesome. I can't recall everything really, since everything went by in a flash. So I shall stop talking and let the pictures speak for themselves. Oh, but before that I wanna tell u abt today first.

Woke up and breakfast while watching 2 recorded episodes of telly. Then around lunch time went out with the family for lunch and shopping at Vivo. We ate at Crystal Jade DiningIN. The food was quite nice but I was quite full to start with..

Then we went shopping. I am still searching for my new schoolbag. :P
I saw 2 really nice bags just now, one is medium expensive and one is fairly quite damn expensive. And the medium expensive one was deemed too small and unpractical by my family.. though i really loved it.. (sniff)

Haha kk I'm jk but well. I didn't buy any of the two in the end. But they are shortlisted.. Heh, my mum thinks the expensive one is too expensive but my dad thinks its still okay and he rathers me have it than the unpractical pretty medium expensive one. Hahaha.. Okay, is this getting confusing?

We went home around 5.. Oh oh! I saw this really nice River Island bag that cost about eighty plus bucks! Christmas prezzie anyone? Okok, so went home and I watched the final episode of my show that I recorded when I was away and guess what? I was so looking forward to it but they had to give some sort of shitty ending! I am. so. unhappy. D:

Hahah kkk but since the show has already ended, I shall concentrate on the new show.. Omg shit I sound like some drama serial maniac ;))

YEAPPP. I should faster finish my goal of reading more books this holiday, possibly even READ MY SCHOOL BOOKS (?!) and um, unpack my suitcase and pack my room REALLY SOON. Chinese New Year is approaching and you know what I haven't found any new clothes yet. I mean, I have, but not for CNY. Don't you find red-coloured clothes particularly hard to find?

Oh, just FYI, I bought 2 tee shirts for $12 at bossini today, meant for OBS. If they get torn and worn I guess I will throw them away or something after that. (Damn OBS! I was (can you believe it) a little excited for it last time but after seriously considering what we have to go through, I am absolutely anti-OBS nw. :() Yup, and I used up my $10 Topshop voucher in time and bought a petite tank top with it cos the similar tank top I'd bought last time is a bit big.. the small sizes ran out, you see.

OKAY OKAY. You all can't wait.. PICTUUURESSSS! :D

hehe zomg i think there are abt 100?
get ready!

Start of the trip! Day.. uh, zero? Or you could say one. Anw we were taking a night flight! So we camwhored a lot at the airport! Oh oh btw I have close to 2000 photos but I'm only selecting a few (namely 100.. eh somewhere ard there) photos to put up! ((:

ME! Okay okay you will be seeing my face a lot. HAHA WARNING! jkjk

My sis!

My new jeans and shoes

Mummy!

family photo. this was the best i could get..

Mum looking gooodd! (:

We went to Ajisen to eat ramen for dinner..
YES ME AGAIN AHAHAH (=

okok, so like, there are actually sooo many more photos (and videos!) so you don't know what you're missing out. hehe. but there are a lot of crap photos too. and and, the videos are the most embarrassing ever! haha tt's just my family..

We went up the plane.. eh you know the place where connects the airport to the plane? Yeah this was our plane..

UGH! The plane ride there was the horriblest ever. I kept sneezing (felt cold) and couldn't get to sleep properly and it was supposed to be a night flight. Also I felt a bit sian and irritable and blah. Ohwell. Luckily it got better once we arrived at Sunshine Coast!

At the Brisbane airport..

That was me while waiting. Okay that is nt a very good photo to describe the airport haha nvm.
Yeapppp, we rented a car from Hertz and drove from Brisbane to Sunshine Coast! It was around an hour's drive there..

This photo is cool! And I took it! HAHA (;

Australia's highways are DA BOMBZX!
They give me this countryside sort of feeling, peaceful.. relaxed :)
WHEEEE! And do you know Australia has this SMELL? It was exactly the same smell as Perth's when I went there 9 years ago! :D

Okay, so we arrived at Sunshine Coast.. We took a look at the shops over there.. OMG I FELL IN LOVE. It is such a nice place for shopping! You know sometimes.. the clothes may be nice but the place isn't fun to shop at..
Welll, Hastings' shops were nice, clean, fun and well, very nice! :D
The clothes were amazing too. Okay some of them were cheaper than Sg but some were nt that cheap also la.. But still okay. Around $30 - $70? Yeah for like, tops/ shorts/ skirts/ dresses.

Along the streets

We walked by this pretty nice park and took photos.

I like this! :D

When I first saw the beach, I was like, 'WOW." literally. (:
It was dotted with colourful umbrellas and people and it was just amazing! The wind was great! I've had a special liking for wind since I was young (since I was a baby!), whenever wind blows at my face my mood will instantly perk up and I will feel very happy! :)

And you know what, you can find the cutest kids over there! I saw a dozen SUPER SUPER cute little girls/ boys there.. Heh angmoh kids are mostly super cute la.

Hehe, the photos I took this trip wasn't really taken with much effort. Well I mostly just point-and-shooted, tee hee :D

Mhmm. We went home, caught a nap and went to the supermarket at night.
It's fun to see what products they sell over there!

Apricots (I think)

Cheese!

Capsicums... Actually I hate the taste of them.
Oh well the colours are nice..

I used to eat a lot of this brand of jam when I was young..

HAHA we bought thissss, totaaalllly love it :)

Look! The yoghurt is soooo cute ahahahah :)

More cute yoghurts..

Best yoghurt I've eaten in my whole life. It's like organic and tastes like it has honey! :)

Ate at some restaurant at night
and this is me! (DUH. fine.)

yep yeppppp. hmmm, I got quite sick of western food this trip. I think I still prefer Chinese food. (contrary to many nowadays) Haha see I'm so loyal! :D

Second Day. We went to Eumundi Markets in the morning (now with the photo i rmb the name!)

It was pretty cute they had a variety of stuff but I only bought 4 pretty nail files and 1 handmade soap bar.

At 'home' before going out.. I like this photo! But it's said to look terrorist-elementish.

Browsing around (:

This is the man who I was talking about. Juggling fire whilst standing on many layers of glass bottles (below)

There were big pelicans sitting on the lamp post thingos.. Makes a nice photo =)

Went surfing in the afternoon! It was really really fun! :DD

Ta dah! ((:

At night we went to another restaurant for dinner again. Ate this seafood platter thing which looked pretty awesome but the food was really nothing. Most of it at least.. the mussels were nice though.

Love the colours. (:

Say DAY TH-REEEE!
We went for some river cruise thing which if you ask me honestly I wouldn't say it is particularly interesting but oh well. I think my parents enjoyed it. The guide was telling us about some geographical stuff around the river swamp thing.. and I wasn't really listening. Hehe. I'm somehow just immune to this kind of thing, I really should change

But there were a few photo opportunities there as well.

Beautiful forest.

This photo didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to. But ohwell.

This is the reflection! It is sooo pretty! :D

This as well

Plants..

My new lemon havaianas!

And my sister's.

It was totally a super unglam day for me so no photos.. At night we went to Zachary's for this supposedly award-winning pizza but I felt some of the authentic Italian ones we had in Singapore were better.

I was trying to look like I enjoyed it a lot LAH.

The next day it was shopping shopping shoppppppiiinnnggg in the morning (I bought quite a lot of stuff). Then around lunch time we drove to Gold Coast.

On the way we stopped by at some parks/ beaches kind of things. It was really amazing.

This is so cool. It was inside this big ocean. (The Pacific Ocean! I can't blieve it!)

At another beach we visited

At the hotel lobby.. We stayed at Marriott Surfer's Paradise..

Stayed at 2308.. right in front when you get out of the lifts!

Beach towels

Another family shot! :)

HAVAIANASSSS. (My mom and sis got theirs for $1 with this promotion thing! The sales over there are SOOO good compared to Singapore's (stingy!))

We got a room with ocean view. This was Marriott's swimming pool thing downstairs where we swam at twice. It is so beautiful esp. from above!

Waterfall.

This totally reminds me of a ride in Disneyland/sea!

MA SCARVES PWNS YOURS (:

We went to Dreamworld the second day. It is just amazing! Haha I should have gone for a more thrilling ride just for the sake of it! The most thrilling I went was this supposedly very scary roller coaster.

I like this tree! HAHA

Our two world entry passes. (Bought some package which allows unlimited access to dreamworld and whitewaterworld for two days)

I love how fairylike this photo is! Okay I shall acknowledge my mom for it :)

Okay we took this ride that ride blah blah. Then like later in the afternoon we went to take pictures with the mascots! ((:

Yea. This is the Angry Beaver's Spittoon ride.

Cutest kids ever.

YAY I love the Rugrats (:
Brings back nice memories

Chuckie.. Go figure

I gave Patrick a hug..

I've heard of bumper cars since I was young, but this was my first time trying it! It was really fun! But at first I kept going round and round and could not move :/
Once I started driving it was really great!

Eating hotdogs.

While waiting for the bumper cars, my sister and I made funny (emoticon) faces..

#1 Smile (:

#2 :D

#3 XD

#4 big grin with teeth

#5 twisted :S

I sat on the greatest ever motorcoaster ride. AWESOMEEEEE! We sat on 3 roller coasters btw.

So that was the end of Dreamworld. I think we went shopping and slacking after that. Then we went to whitewaterworld the day after.

Okay, I'm done with photos!
ZOMGGGGG that was SO MANY.

Kk pretty much liddat la I'm sssuuuuuuuuper tired nw going shopping tmr so ciao I'll cya! (WHEW!)
