Woots. Sea World. Wanted to go for 100% guaranteed sight seeing of the whales but din have enuf money left and din wan to withdraw money too. The whale watch will cost us AUD 109. Expensive..

But I saw my favourite dolphins! Love them to bits.

Top: The Young Dolphin Bottom: The Adult Dolphin :)

Learnt something there. Twin dolphins born hardly survive and most were either born stillborn, if not they will die a few hours later. Haiz. That is sad. Also, the young feed on the mum's milk for 6 months or even up till 18 months, depending, till they are independent. The milk is 6x rich in fat compared to the milk from a cow.

Enjoyed the dolphin show lots!

Watched the sealion performance too.

The Fish Detective! =p cute performance =]

It was penguin laying eggs period too. Though we din c ani penguins laying eggs =p Touched the starfish in the touch pool, watched the sharks at the shark bay and had a hard time finding the polar bears who were sleeping.

Then went back to the hotel and tried to spend the rest of our money. We still had quite a bit left though we had an expensive meal at the restaurant the night before. Shopping spree~ Not forgetting to mention that Australia has many new flavours for chocolates and Subway has a new flavour too [ chilli sweet honey chicken flavour ] Bought lots of stuff.

(wanted to post wad I bought, but the uploading takes ages..and I am tired oredi == )

Saw this gold man on the streets. And he's not a statue! Interesting.

Then it was time for us to head to Brisbane airport. We were there super early so we were trying to use finish the international calling card value by chatting wif our mummi over the phone.

Touched down in Singapore earlier than expected the next day at 5 am and Mummi greeted us at the door upon reaching home. She looked so happi to c us back home. lolz. And stupid Happy started barking at us. He doesnt recognize us? =[ BUT we love him and miss him anihow. Thank goodness he din reali forget us == Suddenly felt Singapore is so hot and the skin on my face is peeling T__T

Peeps! I am back in Singapore T__T wonder who missed mi?! :D

Warner Bros Movie World wasn't wad we expected though, so were kinda disappointed. The rides were extremes and few. Either they were kiddish or they were too scary for people wif height fear like us.

Shrek 4D adventure was fun. We sat on the special chairs that rock and wear special glasses. The donkey sneezed and water doplets fell on us. When spiders dropped on the characters, we felt tings drop on us too. Everyone could be seen trying to remove those tings that dropped on us. Haha. Fun and realistic luh. Totally enjoyed it.

Sat the find bugs bunny slow river ride too. x.x" It wasnt that interesting but it wasnt that bad either :)

Us wif Justice League and Char wif Marilyn Monroe.

Watched the street parade as well. Shall juz post a few photos here. (feeling lazy oredi =X)Batman looked cool. Charlene tot he looked shuai.

After that went back to hotel. Wanted to go to the wildlife santuary but no one picked up the phone..so we had no choice but to sleep in the hotel for a while then wake up to do some shopping. Called home too cuz parents din call us :( And we still had lots of money left in the international card. :X After that went to the hotel cyber cafe to blog and msn chat :D Managed to talk wif piggie, emp and dunno~ Missed you guys! Char was busy webcam-ing wif her frien. =P Went back to pack our luggages and slept =]

3rd day ended~

Morning breakfast at 8am in the hotel. Quite a disappointing meal, considering it is a buffet breakfast and in the hotel. Expected more variety of food, but all that was displayed were scrambled eggs which tasted damn plain, sunny side up eggs, sausages, ham, fried potato =\ limited choice == and fruits that did not look tempting at all. Thumbs down.

Then met the driver at 8.45am and we went off, picking others along the wae, before heading to Paradise Country Farm.

The horses there were covered wif blankies! Love the weather. Cooling and not that windy. And most imptly, my flu was gone surpisingly. Was having a cold before I even set off for Australia, but now am feeling pretty fine!

The fun was juz about to start :)

First, we were given a map to show where each of the places were located and a schedule to show wad program was lined up at wad time.

Went off to see the koalas first! To take a photo wif a koala, it would cost us AUD 15, so we decided to take the photo together. The photographer asked who was going to carry the koala and I told him Charlene. He asked mi if I was afraid to carry it, which I told him yes. Hey, I was honest ok? lol. Though it looked tame, I was kinda scared to carry it. And the mischeivous photographer went ,"chhhiccckkeeennn!!! pooopehhhpohhpehh" and moved his hands like a chicken! RAWRR..Char sweared she saw a ball like ting which rolled out of the koala's backside so she was quite convinced it poo-ed. :X haha. Din post that picture of us wif the koala though, cuz we looked ugly in that photo =="

Look at the sleeping style of this koala bear! lol

After that we went to c the kangaroos.

Farm shows started. :) The Aussies reali have a great sense of humour and they made the shows so entertaining and interactive. Love the wae they bring laughter into the show. :D Reali enjoyed the farm shows.

Billy tea making at the campfire. =]

Onto the next program. Cody and another female trainer showed us how they chase the cows into a corner and they competed wif each other. A doggie was oso sent to chase the cows. Imagine little Happy doing that! lol. Hardly can imagine luh.

Next up was sheep shearing. T looked for volunteers which will have a chance to help cut the wool off the sheeps. He was pretty amusing too :) At one point in time, he came down to the audience wif his sheep shearing cutter, looking for people wif long hair. He stood behind us, talking to someone at the back. I could sense danger *F3* Next moment, he turned to mi and did a snipping my hair off action wif his cutter and quipped" AUD 2 for the haircut. " F3. haha..of cuz he din get ani money from mi. LOL. Charlene was luffing her heads off. ==" Then he went onto the stage and held out strands of hair and said," Oops, I cut off her hair ". == The hair did look real and got me for a moment. But lol..luckily my hair was still intact. Everyone turned their heads and looked at mi. So paiseh =X Charlene was busy luffing. haha.

The volunteers got a present each. The boy got a wig, the 2 girls got flowers and the guy was made a superman since he was promised muscles after cutting the sheep wool. lol. The sight was funni :) I couldnt stop luffing at the boy. haha. Nice wig =D

Us wif the animals in the nursery:

Other photos :)

Had our lunch in the farm. Then driver drove us to HarbourTown where there are many shops that are giving discounts. But I din buy aniting from there. Even had a shop named Jayjay. F3. And look at this shop's name!

After that headed back to the hotel. We slept a while then went out exploring again. =]

Went to Infinity. A futuristic 2D place whereby we wear special gloves and "shoes" that glow in the dark. We are suposed to feel our wae through the mirror maze like room. We felt so lost. lol. Managed to find our wae out of that maze and into the dark. It was so dark can! I clinged on to my sister for my dear life. lol. I am scared of dark! Cant even see a single ting luh. As we walked, at times we had to squeeze our way through things that squeezed us at the sides. Then into this room wif balls. Walked on a "bottomless bridge" too. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves! But after this, I din wana step into Haunted House. It is sure much worse than this!

Ended the day feeling satisfied and returned to the hotel for a good night's rest!

Upon reaching Brisbane Airport at about 9 am their time (sg 7 am), we met up with the Door to Door tranport driver who later drove us to our Islander Resorts Hotel which was about 1.5 hours from Brisbane.

Tired me and Charlene slept through the journey to our hotel. We were told we were supposed to tip the drivers Aud 4 dollar per day per person, but haha..in the end we did not :X aniwae the driver din ask too.

Free and easy day for us. So after checking in, we went exploring the places near our hotel. We din dare to wander to far away lest we lost our wae. lolz. Learnt how to cross their roads there. Same as Singapore except that when the traffic light there shows a blinking red man, we are supposed to complete our crossing. :) The temperature around our hotel is freaking cold cuz of the winds. I guess thats cuz the beach is juz nearby our hotel.

Love Surfers Paradise Beach. The sand there is so fine that it feels so comfortable to step on them! It was cold there. The wind was terribly strong but I love the beach!

Then off for more shopping, or rather, window shopping. Louis Vuitron, Prada, Polo Raphl blahblah..branded names. F3. Definately not for poor tings like us. haha. Even the meals got us pondering for very long. They were damn expensive can! There were many cyber cafes around too, so we went to use the computer for 20 min. The rates were damn expensive. AUD 2.50 for 21 minutes, and considering that Australian dollar is bigger than Singapore's. Juz logged in msn and Belbel msned mi! Felt loved. haha. Then got Belbel to call my father to inform him we have reached Australia safe and sound. lol. They were like so worried for us luh. Tq piggie!

Finally settled down for some korean food. Then went supermarket to buy some instant food, milk and yogurt to last us for our dinners :D Oso managed to get an international card which costs AUD 30 to call home.

Gold Coast 6pm was practically like Singapore's 9pm. And their 6 am was like Singapore's 9 am. lol.. and the shopping centres there close much earlier than Singapore's.

So noting to do liao..went back to hotel and called our parents. Daddy called to our hotel. Guess he din wan to waste our money. Then my mummi could be heard at the background asking questios, according to Charlene. lols. So my dad passed my mum the phone. After that we slept all the wae. F3

The endearing sight of our parents seeing us off at the airport was a special moment for me. The fact that my daddy actually offered to drive us to the airport and the cute sight of my mummi waving to us vigourously infront of the departure hall..moments that left me feeling reali blessed. :)

Terminal 3 was reali nicely furnished and done up. I swear it is one of the most beautiful airport that I have ever seen and am certainly proud of it. =D

Finally on our wae to Australia on Singapore Airlines. About 7.5 hours to Brisbane airport. The time difference is 2 hours earlier than Singapore and the temperature there is about 24 degrees.

Ooo! I am excited!

GOLD COAST here we come!
