last wed,we celebrated 4 leng luis birthday,they are yiwen,peili,peiting and yilian..celebrated at one go since now its so difficult to gather all of us,most of us are doing diff combination..that day we had the most ppl joining us ever in this sem,around 18 ppl....glad most of us could make it but still some couldn't...unlike last year,everytime we had gathering,most of us would turn up..i really miss previous year,where we had so much fun esp sing k and the lantern festival gathering..i wonder whether when we graduate will we be able to have such gathering so often anymore..


one more week and that's the end of september edi.time flies pretty fast especially in the 2nd half of the year.at one moment it was the beginning of the sem oni,then it flew to results day and now 3rd week of sept edi..finals is less than 3 months from now..am i prepared for it??i really dunno, i dun wanna fail anything anymore...the feeling of failing really sux.no matter what i must pass all this remaining 3 papers.

pt results came back this week and i pass both..kinda happy that i pass finance which is the toughest paper..but its too early to say much since its only half of the syllabus tested so far.and pt2 is already next week...haix

so sorry guys for not updating my blog,well,the reason was i just came back from Gold Coast, Australia this week and had so much things to do right after we came back..such as goin for tax pt which i miss, so much clothes to wash and also cleaning the house which was left untouched for a week...just dun have the time to update until now...i better start updating now or u guys will kill me...hehee

27th august
went for finance pt and tax class and quickly rushed home and finish up last minute packing...just dumped all those instant noodles and sweets in too..reached the LCCT a bit late then what we expect due to the jam,nevertheless still earlier than the 1 hr deadline.the plane departed quite on time as i thought airasia are usually LATE.u noe la.took on the new airbus 33o which is only available on long haul to gold coast and hangzhou i think.as usual,its not easy to sleep on the plane so juz few short naps and the rest were just reading mags or listening music..

this is how we got there-airasia x airbus 330,pic only shows half of plane though.
28th august.
landed at Gold Coast Coolangatta airport around 7 +in the morning..when i first step out the plane,the wind started blowing...wooooo...so cold, and yet so nice.just when ppl were complaining LCCT is small,i saw that the airport here were even small compared to LCCT..lol.i guess LCCT isn;t too bad afterall..hahaha

the beach greeting us

on land

on water too
settled all our luggage and passport and headed to our apartment at Surfers Paradise..Its great that the corner lot apartment is just located opposite the beach view and we get to see the beach directly from our apartment..wheeeee,can see ppl surfing..and hot guys in the beach...hehehe
unpacked and then took a stroll in the city and did some shopping on groceries for breakfasr and dinners..their veggies and fruits are so fresh...after lunch we decided to head back to the spa and steam bath to heat ourselves up...and then slept throughout afternoon to ganti balik the sleep..
adrenalin park which is just at the back of our apmt,is for those with strong hearts.they have bungee jumping,slingshot,most exciting one is where u see the two metal tiang there,there's actually a chair and string tied to it which will bounce u off so high ,higher than those tiang and higher than 20 floors i think,etc.almost everynite we can hear ppl screamin

Just before dinner, we went out to buy some local wines to drink along with our own made dinner.On the way back ,we saw so many firetrucks outside the apartment next to ours..we thought got fire,so got live show see lor.but there were no smoke at all,the whole building was in complete darkness....lotsa ppl were also there.suddenly,heard a girl screaming HELp from the highest floor..maybe she's stuck and scared upthere cuz i think the power jump gua..dun really now the real story though..but one good thing is that they are really efficient and good lor,one alarm only bring all the firetrucks from whole gold coast immediately,sumore got support centre set up..

fire trucks hq aka support centre

after dinner,went to Haunted House which is walking distance from our place..only my 2 bros and sis went in.heard that they got shock immediately at the first level..lol and my youngest bro was sortof hanging on to both of them,sumore when go in edi, can say lets go out wo..himself say wan go de now wan go out...swt la..walked back after that and pass by a group of youngsters who were superbly drunk i tink and driving cuz they were shouting crap to ppl.wild kids i guess..


29th August

sunrise

went Seaworld for nearly whole day.saw many many dolphins,sharks,starfish,dugongs,little penguins,polarbear and many more..its not as big as the singapore one but one thing nice is that the shows were absolutely fabulous and awesome especially the dolphins which are so well trained and jet ski show..let the pics show u guys ba.




went for rides and then headed to Gold Coast Show which is a carnival for ppl here as today was made public holiday for it. hang around and then decided to go back as it was going to pour.they went to spa again while me and dad prepared yummylicous dinner..decided not to go out anymore as its gonna rain. just relax in the apartment and enjoy the wine
rodeo show

30th August.
today, we headed to Warner Bros Movieworld..got shows and also rides to play..we get to see the Warner Bros parade which has all time fav LooneyTunes, Tweety, Batman, Catwoman, Shrek, Scoobydoos,and many more,which some i dun even noe their names..forgive me la,i dun watch all the cartoons de..






went for rides just before lunch to avoid puking after that..such as Superman Escape where its a rollercoaster ride which travels 0-100 in 2 seconds which is superfast,with 760 metres of vertical climbs and weightless drop,head spinning twist and giant G force turns.its all about momentum .see it for urself here. heart can stop beating wey so high and just drop like that.
rode on the batwing spaceshot too which is a rapid 4.5G vertical launch up 60m followed by a drop beyond freefall..Got wet in the wild west falls adventure rides which goes backwards some ways unlike niagara falls in Sunway. we went twice somemore

lastly was the Lethal Weapon ride which offers most exhilarating thrill rides experience over 765m of non stops drops,dives ,bends,rollovers ,sidewinders,double spin and plunges..i think we encounter nearly 5 complete upside down and 4 G experience..this is where the feet is hanging in the air while the coaster is on top..

well,this rides here are not as scary as Dreamworld..heard they have more this kind of rides..we din wanna go as my parents would not be playing all this as its just a waste of time for them..we're also short of time..and these are all based on my experience since i've never been to much exciting ones in overseas such as in US or UK .


dinner,yummy

31st August.
Happie birthday Malaysia...

our itenary for the day was to visit David Fleays Wildlife Park which is managed by the Queensland Govt, and is smaller than the main Currumbin Sanctuary..We chose this cuz it has those endangered animals in it..Took a bus down south of surfers paradise and stop at Burleigh Town which is the last stop for the bus..All we noe is that the park is supposely located near the town according to the map la..couldn't get a bus cuz we dunno which ones goes there and somemore dun really see any goin our direction..followed the signboard by walking with the guidance of map.walked quite a distance and still din see it so decided walk back and ask some ppl..they said that its about 2 km walk more..since the weather was not sunny so we decided to walk...walau we walked like more than 2 km oni reach lor,nearly 5 km gua,uphill somemore...the cars must be thinking wah,so geng ah walk all the way the there..finally we reach,phew..

i told my sis that it better be good wey,walk all the way here..luckily it was good,was given a tour by the volunteers..saw many endangered animals..








most of the animals here are endangered and the park breeds on them to create more of them.

there are some in the Nocturnal House but its kinda dark inside so can't really take any pic, just show u the pics from the board.
