Hey hey!~ guess who's back?!?!?! lols its the second day after the holidays ended, and i have not been going to school. hahaha, went to see doctor yesterday coz of my cough, and he said i got chronic cough. its nothing much, i just didn't want to go to school. i hate my school, seriously. out of all the subjects i talk about, my school right now, is probably the only one i don't want to talk about. so, i've decided. i'll just stay in this hell for another few months, work hard while i'm in it and hopefully i can transfer schools, preferably TK. But i'm really scared of my sickness, or am i not? coz.... if i got H1N1, then i can't be able to work hard. but on the other hand, my brother can get quarantined. hmm............. oh wells, let fate decide this. Oh and about the pics from the australia trip, i'll take my own sweet time to upload it, x)

I really really have a bad feeling about my growth. seeing how much i could eat here......... i think its just a matter of time before i get fat. dunno if i will return to singapore eating the same amount or less. anyways i'll talk about what happened today first before talking about that. i think i'll talk a bit about last night, since i went to eat hot chocolate after blogging.we went to eat hot chocolate nearby, the shop had an eiffel tower, show you how it looks like when i put up all the pics later. and there was a ferrari parked outside of the shop, it always is, since the ferrari is owned by the owner of the shop, and its said that the shop is partly famous for the ferrari. i took some pics of it too, its just a normal ferrari though. anyways, i ate italian hot chocolate, its the most famous there. it was thick, not so sweet (had to put the sugar in ourselves, i put 2 packets of sugar, haha). its the kind of dish thats nice at first, but as you keep eating it, you'll get sick of it. i, however, just stuffed it all down.Only had 3-4h of sleep, cos needed to watch the sunrise at mount coot-tha. i actually doubted that i could wake up but i surprisingly could. dunno whats wrong with me these days, having an extremely big appetite and waking up so early even though i couldn't last time. is it puberty? oh wells. took the camera along and reached mount coot-tha at about 5.30a.m. (brisbane time). when i stepped out of the car, i could feel the cold temperature. i would say its about... 15 degrees? regretted wearing such thin clothing, it was bearable though, i wasn't really shivering. we camped at the highest point of the mountain, the small tower which had the north-arrow, i took the camera out and started snapping pictures at the east direction. it was really dark, so jie adjusted the camera a bit and when taking photos, i could not move for 5 seconds, so that the camera could absorb enough light. but i, after all, am human, so i shook at every shot. thought for a bit and ended up putting the camera on the railings. i was snapping shots all day while sis and BFG were soundly sleeping. slowly, the pictures i took had some light coming out from the clouds. even though i couldn't see it with my naked eyes. and i kept snapping, trying not to move at all. the sky just kept getting brighter and brighter, but sis and BFG still refused to get up, until some part of the sky turned red. i continued taking pics, but the sun just wont rise, the clouds were blocking it. so we gave up at 6.30 and went home.I didn't want to sleep, watched a few episodes of anime but still slept =.=". woke up an hour late. we were supposed to go to Harbour Town to shop. there are a lot of discounts there.Reached Harbour Town at 12.50+ and went straight away to the Nike shop. when we entered, there was a sign saying that there was a 40% off storewide. sis and BFG straight away walked inside while i checked the timing for it. it was from 12pm - 1pm. and the time now.... 12.57pm?!?!?!?! CHIONG ARR!! i went to the adults men section cos i thought i wasn't a kid anymore. looked around but there wasn't my size. BFG was with me, and he saw a shoe that he liked, but there wasn't his size. how sad, it was Air Jordan. the 3 minutes were up and BFG and i went to look for sis, only to find her with a lot of clothes queueing at the counter =.=". she asked me to quickly go to the kids' section and get something. i went there and saw a nice pair of Air Jordan shoes, its for casual wearing and its design was nice. BUT THERE WASN'T MY SIZE!!! my size is like... in between adults' and kids'. and there was only a size smaller. but it was 40% off, and you cant really get this brand Air Jordan in singapore unless its from Ebay or something. so i decided to get it. spent $153 at Nike, and only $60 was for my shoes, wonder what my sis got =.=".after buying, i tried wearing it and its a little tight, but still bearable. headed to Converse after that and bought shoes for er ge. i didn't really know his size, so i chose size 10. and sis told me that da ge's size is 11 and she remembered that er ge's size is 1 smaller than that. it wasn't really assuring, but we still got it. walked around, got a shirt for er ge too, and some other stuffs. spent a total of $469.75, feel sorry for BFG, he's been paying for everything.Went to eat steak for lunch, or was it dinner? it was about 3+. oh wells just went to eat steak at the same place as last time, Sunnybank. for a few years i've been wondering.. what's my favourite food? i think i found my answer these days. MEDIUM RARE STEAK!!! first was at Prime Society in singapore with Richmond, and these 2 times here. ahh my saliva is already drooping thinking about it. better move on quickly. oh did i mention it yet? these 2 times i ate steak here, i have been finishing it by myself. and sis and BFG share it. so there's really something wrong with my tummy.I stayed in the car while sis and BFG did grocery shopping.Headed home after that.Okay, im going to post all the pics after this post, prepare for a suuuuper duuuper long post!!

Went to Chinatown for breakfast. on the way there, there was a big car and there were only men in it. they waved at everyone who passed by them, and when they saw BFG, one of them said, 'hello there, mate!' haha. and there was a red light ahead. we passed by them again and sis and i waved to them. they waved back and said things i couldn't understand, kinda hard to understand their accent. we continued walking ahead, when the light turned green, the car passed by us and one guy shouted, 'i love you'. dunno who he was directing that to but if it was to either BFG or me, oh gosh he's gay. but of cos its just a joke =.=". anyways, had 'wu bao fan' for breakfast. there was duck, pork(shao rou), chicken(haha doesn't chicken sound like someone?),egg and more pork(char seow). amazed that i actually finished it. BFG ordered 'san bao fan' and he was already full after eating it, and he is known to have a bottomless pit.Walked to the Chinatown Duty Free shop to buy some things, and a cute, fat, chinese lady served us, and she had the funny china accent. after deciding what to buy, we headed to the counter and she said, 'that would be $25' with the funny accent. we were going to pay cash but BFG said to save the cash. so he took out a cash card but the lady suddenly said, 'gimme cash.' winked and continued, 'i love cash'. lols how cute.Shopped at DFO(direct factory outlets). bought slippers there, and BFG bought some towels(FYI almost all his towels have holes, and there is one towel with a really big hole, so big that i can put my whole head in it).When we stepped out of the shopping centre, it was about 5, the sun was about to set. and the sky was so cool. blue at the bottom, followed by pink, yellow, then blue again at the top.that's it for the day~ gtg bathe, see ya tomorrow~

And of course... there are some things that i will forget to post about. just remembered one thing now. for people here, courtesy is a way of life, and they're very open-minded too. like during the ride to Movie World, there was a jeep and there were only women in it. they were waving at us and we waved back. and they asked us to horn, so BFG horned, and they cheered and laughed. haha what a happy race.

Back from Sea World~ reached there about 11+ and we went to watch the dolphin show which was at 11.45. on the way, i saw the Dog Tag machine! its exactly the same as the one in Movie World. i wish the pirate guy was there.... he's just so funny. anyways the dolphins were amaaaaaaaaaazing. its like they can do anything if you just give them food. the performace was great. i'll upload allllll the pics on the last day, i think. we headed for the sting rays after the dolphin show and had a look at them. kinda cool, they're of all sizes, from tiny to gigantic. walked down to the shark bay and saw different kinds of fish. there were some in a school, some of a unique colour and the sharks.... oh the sharks... they're not like the tiny ones in singapore. they are GIGANTIC. there was a pregnant one too, that made it EXTRA-GIGANTIC. then left for the next show, Waterski WipeOut. on the way there, i saw a helicopter lifting off. wanted to take a picture but was too late. i waited for a while, hoping that it'll come back soon but to no avail. i sadly walked towards BFG and then i saw a room, and in the room, there was a helicopter! even though it wasn't lifting off, its still better than nothing, right? snapped a few shots of it and left, half delighted. the Waterski WipeOut! there, they did a lot of cool stunts. yet again, you'll know when i upload the pics. after that, i separated with sis and BFG cos they were hungry while i wasn't, and went with housemates. first we went to the aquarium. nothing much there. didn't have the camera with me so didnt get any pics. roller coaster time!!! there are two roller coasters there. Corkscrew and Jet Rescue. Movie World's Superman Escape was sooo much better. Corkscrew was just turning round and round 360 degrees and Jet Rescue was just going at a fast speed, 74km/h for 55 seconds and 11 metres above the ground. haha i saw a water bottle which said that. and for both rides, i didn't hold the handles at all. cos i wanted to say cheese to the camera but i didn't know where it was. so i just held the 'cheese' pose throughout both of the rides. and we so happened to be lucky enough to be at the first seat for both rides. for Corkscrew, my head was knocking the headrest a lot. for Jet Rescue, cos i wasn't holding on the handles, my back was swaying here and there. good thing i'm still young, back won't hurt. cos the design of Jet Rescue is different from others. its like a jet ski each seat. the thing that holds you to the seat and make sure you don't fall off is holding your waist only. you're supposed to hold the handles. but apparently i didn't, so did housemate(sort of... he doesn't live with us but he comes to our house very often), and his back hurt after that. hahaha. anyways, met sis and BFG after that and went to sting rays again, since it was feeding session. but i didn't feed them. cos it was expensive and i wanted to feed the penguins instead. so i walked around the pond, touched a few of the sting rays, if you want to know what it felt like, it was slimy. and i had to wait for a while cos they seem to be scared of me =.=". washed hands after touching them but still smelled fishy. penguin time! went there but realised we weren't able to feed them like sting rays T.T. probably cos they're dangerous? i dunno. and the way they walked was really cute. just like in Happy Feet. if you watched you'll know, if you haven't, you'll have to wait for me to upload the pics. polar bear!!! was soooo big. it yawned and i saw the teeth. soooo big and sharp. headed for Fish Detectives Sea Lion Show and the same for dolphins, they were really really smart. pics, soon. separated with housemates cos they wanted to go to the beach and we went to watch Planet SOS in 4D. juuuust joking~ we were late for the show, and it was the last one for the day too. so we left for the Bermuda Triangle ride. its a boat-ride. and it was laaaaaaaame. i sat it cos it sounded science-related but what i saw that was... ALIENS?! if you asked me to describe it with one word, it would be 'lame'. sat Jet Rescue again cos sis and BFG have not sat it yet. they didn't sit Corkscrew cos they're afraid that their head will hurt after that. and the place was closing soon. had some two-scoop ice-cream with a funky cone and went to the beach. the sand there is totally different from singapore's. its very very fine, very very tiny, very very soft. but it was getting dark already. so we decided to come another time and headed to sunnybank to eat(FYI thats where i ate the steak the other day). it was quite a long journey. sis and i slept in the car, and my ankles hurt when i woke up. cos its a two-door car and the seat in front is always at half of my feet. and when i sleep i keep turning my legs. so it hurt after that, sad case huh, have to live with it during every car ride. had vietnam food for dinner and finally, headed home.overall, i think Movie World was better. because of the ride Superman Escape. aaand other reasons which i can't think of now.that's all. byeee~

Nothing happened in the morning and afternoon. just came back from watching Terminator 3. it was laaaaame. normally when an object is heated and then cooled right away it will become extremely brittle, not freeze. but other than that, it waaaaaas quite okay. and i saw the trailer for Transformers 2. seemed really cool. cant wait to watch it. but by the time it comes out i'll already be in singapore. might have to wait a little longer for it then. going to Sea World in gold coast tomorrow, so i dont think i will be online.expecting a long post tomorrow, guess i'll stop here. . . . . . . . . . . okay bbye~

Forgot to post for 2 days =.=". nothing much really happened. got married on 1st of June and nothing really happened for the rest of the day. had steak for dinner yesterday. its only like $16 for soup, bread, spaghetti and steak. whereas in singapore, its like $40++ just for a steak. and there is only a slight difference in the taste.i think i won't be underweight anymore when i go back to singapore. the amount of food we eat here is....... a lot. its no wonder why americans have a higher tendency of being.... fat. even though i'm in australia, its the same. they're still... ang mos. lolswent for a lecture in BFG's school. it was about finance and stuff. i'm not really interested. but i thought i'd give it a shot. we left after a while, i dunno why though. oh wells, i couldn't really hear or understand what the lecturer was talking about anyway.that's most of it. i'll try not to forget to post every night~
