mmhmm. GC: day 1+2

yes, so i finally got my ass down to blogging day 1+2 of my gold coast trip. been busy. there's really more to come i tell you. maybe i'll do it all up finally when min goes home.

i'll really miss.... her nintendo ds-lite. really. hehhe. i really will miss her being my roomie for a week odd, cos' she's really fun. our snooz-ings and oversleep-ings and yet still be on time. remarkable i tell you. this two months odd made me a lil' shorter on cash, but a happier girl by leaps and bounds. so yeap, lemme begin...

berns + me, bored shitless cos' flight got delayed...

we finally arrive at GC airport, driving down the pacific motorway, entering SURFER'S PARADISE. i saw no surfers. so it ain't a paradise. k, lame joke. but yeah, we stayed @ vibe hotel, newly refurbished. the view from #20-01 from the balcony. we had an inland facing unit, and i am thankful for that.cos' we got the view man. the other side, mmm... another building i recall.

time for DINNER. that's me when i called you guys (mom+dad).
as usual, bernie being bernie, we headed to the first touristy spot for dinner....

... hard rock cafe

waiting to be seated took: forever.
getting our orders taken took: forever.
having our orders served took: forever.
as a result: you have me entertaining myself...

... food... i need...

food. really.

to prove how bored. i actually took the light above us.
but it turned out good.. so i posted.

DAY 2: movie world

i arrived 15 mins before opening o.k...

there's me together with kim, bernie's cousin caught in the photo.

the cousins.

my photos are somewhat jumbled.. this is our mini food tour.
instead of ice cream, i had....

...CHURROS instead. bern's uncle called a junk foodie.

police academy show

melbournians note: check out the sunrays on me man,
and i wore sleeveless during WINTER.

scooby-doo spooky coaster.
kim kept laughing at me when i kept going "what the hell. what the hell"
when it started going backwards.

superman ESCAPE.
superman says before we SHOOT off: "don't worry, i will get you out of here."

wild ride. but i sucked.
getting too old for coasters.

this was actually the first ride we took when we entered.
and it actually rid me of my neck ache.
how odd.

after some shopping at the gift store,
bringing home a GINGERBREAD MAN plush toy + superman boxers...
it's time.

to say bye to movie world and...

hi to BRISBANE.

went for dinner at bernie's relatives place.
and it was a homecooked one.
dinner was great!!
lamb + kangaroo meat with mash and veg.
cooked and prepared by the two boys. mainly jason actually.
left to right: jason, quinton, bernie, kimberly,
aunty katherine + uncle martin.

today was funny and weird. i met huiling and andrew all in a span of a few hours at the same place. why. cos' they stared and recognised me. it feels a little more like home now. can't wait to see andrew at lavish on friday. hope he'll be there. z had the friendly vibe. we 3 ended up on a stranger's camera. who knows, we might just be uploaded on a random website. that's gon be weird. oh, if you are lost, here's what the future blog entries gonna be on. GC trip, steamboat experience, stressful dumplings dinner in chinatown, docklands with min, camberwell sunday market, pixar exhibition+ ngv, puffing billy + healsville sanctuary + winery, then tomorrow: mornington peninsula hot spring, here i come!
