Day One: Airport/Farm Trip =)
I'll combine the night we left the airport and the day at the farm into one post...since there really was nothing much at the airport...-_-" We didn't really do much at the airport...juz took our dinner at a fancy restaurant(mind you i'd haf preferred sth simple...) Dad took LOTS of photos...but I won't be showing them all...juz one or two at the airport n at the farm....our flight was at 11pm...AND...my brother or dad...one of them...suggested me posing as a 12 year old so that we could board the plane slightly earlier...i was thinking...oi...i'm 17 years old...not a 12 year old kid...so anyway yea we boarded the plane...i watched Ratatouile on the plane and slept for the rest of the journey...but i hardly slept though...wasn't really comfortable...n i heard lots of shuffling between my family members...(felt a little nauseous too...probably because i didn't eat...)
Here's our hand luggage...well...dad's going 2 be carrying it...but sometimes i carried it too..it's heavy
So anywayz our landing was slightly delayed...because the gates which we were supposed to alight from was still occupied...so...we continued stoning
Well...i kinda' predicted wad we were going to do at the farm...it was the usual...sheep-shearing...Billy Tea...horse-riding DEMO not riding on the horse itself...kinda' enjoyed the Koala carrying part though..oh! not forgetting...whip cracking(really loud)and i nearly stepped on a sheepdog that was waiting for her turn to perform and show off her sheep-herding skills.
Speaking of sheeps...i managed to feed some baby lambs along with other baby animals like the calves, chickens...er...goats...and one specie of bird which i haf no idea wad it was. Gee...better go find out...ah! We watched the horses raced each other around the fields...pretty fun to watch =) There was this portion of the show...a lady was asked to go up front and hold a piece of fern leaf in her mouth while one of the farmers sliced the leaf into half using a whip. She was blindfolded and they said it was to protect her nose from being sliced off. I had no idea wad to say. Anyway
they did some prayer stuff which was meant to be a joke...gee whiz...if there were catholics there i guess they wud haf been slightly offended...*shrugs*
O...the food was yummy...love the fish....the smell of fish wasn't really strong so there...during lunch the entertainer, hu was singing, came over to our table and sang a few verses of some love song...i was thinking...excuse me...i'm eating here!! but to be polite i shut up.
That was abt it for the first day i guess...yup after tat we went over to eat dinner at a chinese restaurant and back to the hotel we went for our sleep....i was dead tired...
at the farm in front of a cow...my brother looks cool with his sunglasses doesn't he?
Day Two: MOVIE WORLD ;)
Yeap! As it says...movie world...where all Warner Bros movies u can think of appear here...we haf scooby doo, Superman, Batman, Looney Tunes, Shrek...n others which i can't remember...so anyway the minute we entered, a roller coaster ride caught my eye...man was the coming down steep and boy was it high!! On the bus i told my dad i wud try every single roller-coaster ride there was to try...but after seeing the ride...i decided to take back what i said...yes i chickened out...*cluck cluck*. We went back to our usual Scooby ride...brings back memories...why? Cause the first time we came my dad told us tat it was just a MILD STIMLATION RIDE. After the ride i was rdy to whack him...because it turned out to be a HIGH SPEED ROLLER COASTER.. The first time i went i sat at the back and when we stopped all of a sudden with a wall in front of us, i stupidly looked back and realised that there was a track. I was so frightened tat i wanted to jump out of the carriage ... but well tat was the first time...this time round i was more prepared...when we were thrown from side to side at the sharp turns, i shouted over the loud music: DI! SORRY ABOUT MY HAIR because my hair was flying around...
Next up was the Wild Wet Falls...we were quite freaked at the height because it was high up and quite steep. We went through with it though...n at the end became QUITE wet... we oso checked out the Shrek Movie in 4D....pretty amusing i must say...when the donkey sneezed there was actual water being sprayed at us...gross....n there was a part whereby the spiders started crawling and i felt sth below my legs...i screamed n lifted up my legs...n my dad n bro laughed at me...-_-" I got the last laugh though...my brother got his sunglasses and 4D glasses mixed up...threw in his sunglasses instead of the 4D glasses by mistake...man!! Talk abt hilarious!! =D
Later we went shopping...bought some things...took pix of the Mystery Inc. wif Scooby Doo, Catwoman, Hawkgirl, Wonderwoman, Flash n can't rmb the last one...Bugs, Tweety, Daffy. Austin Powers(yeah baby yeah)....yeap! Later on was Bonnie and Clyde...that one really had some side-splitting laughter scenes...apparently Bonnie held the policeman hostage...and er...she called out one of the kids to put two fingers against his bag while she lied tat it was her gun n she'll shoot him if he dared turn back...in the meantime they escaped while the poor kid was left there with his fingers against the policeman's back and the policeman juz stood there like a dummy...a really scared dummy...hehe......That was abt it...after tat it was dinner(at the same restaurant as the previous day) n back to the hotel!!
Rawr!!! hmm..we look more stunned than scary...taken while waiting for Scooby Doo ride to start
Day three: Dreamworld =S
Woohoo! 2day's Dreamworld...where all the rides are! =) Spongebob, Rugrats...lolz...Hmm...my brother and I tried out the Angry Beavers ride...it's juz a simple ride where you the ground is elevated at an angle and you go round and round and round and round....so basically...this time my stomach didn't lurch like it used to...but my brother and I couldn't stand straight after that...
Bumper cars was fun...there was one ride which i sat in the same car as my brother while HE drove....believe me it was no smooth ride...he was dive-bombing others half the time and i think i musta' looked pretty scared. We decided to go on The Cyclone...a roller-coaster ride...my bro n i made a new friend there...his name's Matthew...n guess wad? He's from SAS....gee n i'm from SAJC...wad a small world! So yea...the ride went upside down and it was quite long...his younger sister was clinging on to her father as she was scared...guess wad? In the end...a minute before the ride started...he backed out. My bro n i were like...oi! it was pretty ironic...his sister was the one hu was really scared and in the end he backed out...before i could say or think though we were off,...i saw the sky and next the ground was hurling towards me and i shut my eyes...-_-" I oso got to know the guy who sat behind us as we were all telling each other to scream...we were like..scream ah scream ah! SET! in the end after a few seconds of realising i was the only one screaming....i shut up. embarrassing sia. =P
Following that we went for two wet rides...Thunder Rapid rides and the Log Ride...the rapid rides was quite mild...juz sit inside a circluar raft n get spun while it drifts along with the water currents...seems like my brother got the most wet...the Log Ride was worst...cause the peak was HIGH and we ALL got wet...not just my brother...so did my dad and I...=D
Saw a tigress and her cub...well...her cub was half her size...pretty huge....they were really beautiful creatures...ah yes...my brother and i went on the Repta roller-coaster...your legs were left dangling but it was a pretty short ride...45 seconds more or less...around there...i guess tat was it for Dreamworld...it's better for u to experience the rides themselves...hehe...hmmm...ah yes...we went on a boat cruise...it really was a cruise all right...the travel speed was slooooooooooowwww......i juz stoned at the beautiful greeneries out there...i love animals n wanted to see the mini animal farm...but because mum couldn't take the smell...sheesh...no chance...=( n that was it for 2day...lolz!!
hehe..couldn't resist takin a photo wif a tiger...=)
er....Floor? or Ceiling? or Wall?
Day 4: Seaworld =D
Third and last world....we first checked out the Polar Bear area...they were soooooo cyuute! There were two of them...and they were playing with whatever toys that was available...next dad took us to the Shallow Pond...where i saw sea cucumbers, starfishes...a miniature version of a stingray...urm...i rmb there was a word 'sand' in the name but tat's all i remember...-_-" Had an excellent view of the sharks....man talk about humongous...its length was nearly my height if not greater!! There were Stingrays as well, clownfishes...lots of varieties.
My family oso caught the movie Planet SOS in 4D. That movie showed us abt the consequences tat wud happen if we continued our wasteful ways...so the main problems were...Deforestation, Global Warming and...Pollution!!! Yeap! Following that...were the rides...this time even my mum joined in...we went on the Bermuda Triangle and the Volcano Ride...hmm...we got wet for both rides....the photo that came out was pretty amusing..my brother looked as if he was trying to back out of the ride...LOLZ....and i couldn't duck because my brother was in front of me! Hehe....tat was for the Volcano Ride...
For the bermuda Triangle...the drop was less scary, shorter height and more gradual. The Volcano Ride's drop was close to a 90 degree drop....mightily steep!! We caught the Dolphin show! Amazing, Intelligent, Beautiful and Graceful creatures they were....even though they did the usual flips and walking on water with their tails...it never ceases to amaze me...but...i still think they look the best in their natural state...just swimming around and making calls...=) Still, kudos to the trainer's hardwork...it muz haf taken lots of discipline and focus to be able to do tricks like standing on two dolphins while they swim.. Ferris Wheel ride was a new attraction...it was a pretty stunning view from the top...although one of the passengers who was sitting with us had a fear of heights and did not dare look down...poor thing...i decided to show her on my phone instead...simple shot and hey presto! =) Scenery's on my phone!
During lunch, it rained...NOOOO!!! WASHOUT!! So we had no choice...but to just browse around the shops...and guess wad? we ran into the same guy who sat in the same carriage as us the previous day for the Cyclone ride. Talk abt yer major coincidence!! So we chatted for abit before going our seperate ways as dad wanted to check out the Sea-Lion Detective show. Hehe. The show was comical ... i haf a video...but due to some piracy copyright issues...i'm not allowed to show it...SORRY PEOPLE!!
Anywayz after tat the sun came out and it stopped raining!! YIPPE!! My brother and I decided to go for the Cockscrew ride...another roller-coaster...n voila! We met our friend again! LOL. But he was ahead of us...so he waited for us while my brother and i went for the ride...
The three of us then went off for the Bermuda Triangle and Volcano Rides again...well...again for my brother and i...cause our friend did not have the chance to go before it rained...so anywayz...while waiting for our turn...i asked him to guess my age. He looked at me and went: 13+? My brother burst out laughing. I was like...no...17! He nearly died of shock because I do NOT look the least bit 17...
Later on, we went for the Pirate Ship ride! And i couldn't stand straight after tat....then the guy suggested: Let's go on the Cockscrew Rollercoaster again! I nearly fainted....dad reckoned i looked hilarious on the ride...cause i was screaming and had my eyes shut while the guys around me were juz staring at me...-_-" Yup tat's all for Seaworld...so yea...we went back and tat's abt it...=)
(from front to back) me, my brother and our friend on the volcano ride
Yes my brother and i were on this ride...can't rmb which carriage though...
Day 5: FREE AND EASY
Nothing much 2day...we juz went shopping...i bought one new mini skirt...a couple of sleeping shorts...my brother got half his new year's shopping done...he bought this really cool-looking tee tat had a skull on it...NICE...mum wasn't happy...DUH! She's never happy unless things go HER way...but i shan't touch on that...so yea...oh...at breakfast? Dad kinda' dropped the sugar packet in along with the sugar tat went into his coffee...so yea...we all juz shopped around today and walked and walked and walked some more...
Tat is....until dad suggested going to the beach! Yeah! The sand over there is REALLY soft...sort of like poweder...not the rough, coarse sand we get in Singapore at Sentosa or East Coast...the beaches there are much MUCH cleaner...and the waters are really cool....loved the beach there...and it was juz a few minutes walk from our hotel...Surfer's Paradise...this little boy stood next to me for awhile...then said: I love the way the waters dig a hole in the sand....i looked at him and merely smiled...then i screamed cause there was a huge wave coming towards me...it totally soaked my bermudas...ARGH!! Mum's gonna' murder me! So anywayz we trudged back to the hotel..half soaked and prayed tat we wud dry up before mum suspected anything...by the way...only dad, my brother and I went to the beach...dunno why mum didn't want to go...guess she's just not in tune with nature...unlike yours truly...
That's me! Taking a video of the beach...the water waves...
Day 6: Bye bye Australia...Hello Singapore!!
Well...2day we left Australia and boarded the plane...haizz was feeling a little nauseous on the plane...maybe because i haven't been eating well for the past whole week,...no idea why...i juz did not feel like eating....*shrugs* mum n dad keep asking me if i'm ok...and i was like...yea...why shouldn't i be? It's not like i'm bugged by some problem or anything...On the plane...i barely ate...just wanted to rest and watch movie...i so did not feel like stufing anything down my throat...when i got back to Singapore...well...i was dead tired...tat's one...and two...i didn't even eat dinner...so yea...got pretty weak and wanted nth more than go home and sleep........but i ended up dotaing instead...well...tat's another story...=)
