Myaustraliatrip. Super blessed. super fun. super enjoyable. Till now im still missing it.. :( Our adventure started on day 2 (sunday). We went to RedCliffe Jetty and set off to see Humpback Whales! Boarded a ship and headed to Southern Pacific Ocean. The whole journey was really exciting. I have never in my life, sat on such a shaky ship. The waves and wind were too strong. And the ship was travelling at high speed finally understand the saying, "shou dao hui bei feng chui zou" cos a little girl nearly got "blown away". hahas. it was really nicee to be in the middle of the entire ocean, no shore was in sight. though a bit scary lar (cos i dont know how to swim) but the sea breeze was so nice tt i dont mind standing for the entire one hour. finally after much waiting n waiting, e` "zu jiao" is out!!
Everyone was screaming & waving at it. hahas. we were so excited. I still stayed there to await for more surprise while the rest of my family returned to the cabin to have lunch Guess what??!! my wait was worth it. cos the whale bridged!!!
Day 3 Woke up early in the morning at 2am (s'pore time) Headed to board the hot air balloon! i was shivering when i reached the place. It was located at a hill & plus it was early morning hence the weather was super duper colddd.. wore 3 layers, with my scarf and cap but still shivering. but the caucasians seemed so unaffected. walous. sia suay. anyway, initially i thought e balloon ride wld be scary.. but it turned out to be opposite! i guess e` scenary was so magnificent tt i forgot all abt the fears! "Drifting" along inside a basket will only be enjoyable for scenary lovers. apparently for my aunt n bro-in-law, they nearly dozed off after half an hr. haha.Headed to the farm in the afternoon! Stayed in the farm cottage for 2 nights. e` cottage was well-furnished. with dvd player, cd player & all the cooking utensils. None of us cld cook hence we brought food back fr the supermart. it's scary to see the horses waiting patiently outside our cottage.. hoping we will feed em. imagine the face of the horses right in front of ur house late at night. eeek.
Day 4 Went for animal feeding early in the morning! it was disgusting & fun when the animals licked e` food fr my palm my sis and aunt bot have me a super disgusted look. haha. cow milking was the best!!! finally experienced e` feeling of milking. haha. quite disgusting too.. the udder is so elastic & eekk. but very fun lar. Out of all the visits, i love the farm the most! cos it's very laidback. More imptly, e` scenary is beautiful.. I've alr planned to stay in a farm permanently during my golden years. haha. my siser call me siao. Headed to the zoo in the afternoon. aiyo, sg zoo is better lar. e` kangeroo look pathetic. i thought they would be jumping round n round with their babies. but they turned out to be lazy n glutton kangeroos! kept eating non stop n didnt move at all. while tking photos with me we were pretty scared of its tail n legs sia.. but as i said, they're too lazy to even move. hence we're all safe & sound. hehe
Day 5 Left the farm & headed down to Gold Coast. Went to DREAM WORLD! the rides were all so scary can. i ended up playing roller coaster only. Was very hesitant cos i was e` only one sitting. none of my family dared to sit lor.. piang. the ride wa so-so lar. cos i needed to tk off my spectacles. in the end couldnt see anything lar. only could hear ppl screaming. diao.. Check out the rides below.. haha. of course i wasnt inside any!
Day 6 Visited the Gold Coast beach. too bad it was drizzling so e` view wasnt tt nicee. saw a lot of runners n surfers. wah they super fit sia. of course la.. everyday training on sand marathon sure no problem for them. my eldest sis challenged me to do tt for my marathon training. i call her siao. Headed to the Fruit Farm in the afternoon. picked and cracked several macademia nuts! we gave xuan xuan one to hold. she ended up stuffing it into her mouth w/o us realizing! my sis only found out when xuan didnt reply her. den she realized why her mouth so puffy. opened it n quickly digged out tt nut. wah sey. she power sia. hungry till like tt meh.
Day 7 Last day at Australia.. :( Went to strawberry farm! picked up fresh berries!!! after tt headed to brisbane airport.. started to cheong movies once e plane started flying watched Evan Almighty and Die Hard 4.0 hey hey, i'm set freeee! no longer feeling nauseous or fearful abt planes!!! didnt vomit at all leh.. Prayers work!!! hehe. So proud tt i didnt disgrace myself in front of the kids. :) I'll definitely be visiting queensland again! next time hope there will be dare devils to go on the rides with me!!! haha.
