I have more interesting activities since I've returned, more family time, but I'm too lazy to recount it all... I'll come back soon:)

Hey! its been quite some time since I've returned, and i have dreaded updating, because photos take so long to load and i'm so lazy to do so... so here i shall give you a glimpse of the trip... though eventful (with my whole family returning puking and feverish with contagious gastric flu), it seemed too soon to end... and i cant recall anything too distant in my memory now... :)

jump jump... here is the shot on the coach when we have just touched down at Brisbane International airport. My cousin is taking the photo.

Our fist activity, at Tangalooma resort, on an island of Australia, something like sentosa, but more.. natural, more trees, and further away from mainland!

This is the DESERT! specially created as a tourist spot!

The 5 of us, auntie, cousin, me, the 2 children of my cousin (my niece and nephew).

This is the arduous trek we took to the peak of the sand dunes... the wind was blowing and i got to sink my feet into the sand to keep my ground... I was.. going against the wind!!! It was - dangerous up there on the peak!!!!

I reckon that was me sliding down the peak on my belly, known as sand-toboganning.

Seems like my favourite scene out of all the photos i have taken!

Its so pristine, and the blue blue sky... whoosh!

Its sunset time!!!!!! :) my aunt.

The next morning... we went morning strolling!

"Wei! can you swing faster, in sync with me!"

There we go, whoosh!

doesnt teh background look like a painting? But its 100 percent real!!! :)

Its the horizon.

Here we are back in Gold coast's resort, Dreamworld, like a theme park.

Theres an animal farm inside, where i cuddled my KOALA!!!

LOOK! This is a memorable spot, because, I met JIAJIN here! right here in Australia, Gold coast!!! he was touring with chan brothers, i was with dynasty travel, and hi hotel was the building beside mine!!! OMG, SUPER coincidental!!!!! we forgot to take a pic tgt though...

In thsi pic. i attempted pointing at the peak of the volcano, but i guess I've failed trying to convey the message to the photographer. haha!

One of the many rides i did not try because... Everyone had been too afraid to sit with me:) I will definitely try again if i ever return!

Hot air balloons in the sky in the morning...

We went fishing! This was yabbie catching, some small shrimps in the mud.

"oh, stop splashing at me!"

"okay, you've got no strength, let me!"

"aiya... rang wo lai" - nephew

and my cousin kept filming my butt.. XXX/

"PULL!!! faster PULL up!!!"
This, is what we've caught!

the crab mascot, its real, mind you! XD
"bu yao zai pai le la!!!!!"

The city view... just skyscrapers, i didnt find it that magnificient, except for the meandering streams which I've learnt only in Geog! :)

This shopping mall was opened by a SINGAPOREAN!! Yay!!! and this is their foodcourt! haha

This is movie world, featuring all the batman superman spiderman shrek etc... it was the 'characters parade'!

ducky is here...

Fast forward, Home sweet home!!!

But we all look shag, because all of us vomitted at least once...

The young lady is the tourguide-intern from tourism course at MDIS...

TATA!!! :)

I'm back!!!! But I'm ill, so I'll update soon! :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS!!!!

Yes, Yes, facebook is more popular than blogger now.... and everything about people is available on Facebook... Sorry, for I havent mastered clicking facebook as yet! haha! and i found that OMG, Baldy went to ROME! The place I'd love to go. But trust me, I'd be there in years to come, I will definitely visit the Colosseum... erm.. lazy to check that spelling... But, its darn COOOOOOL, even though it costs big bucks! Look, the pixs he'd posted!

One word - Majestic.

Okay, I'd be leaving soon... I will miss everyone back home... so much that i think about never leaving them behind in Singapore again. but I have a promise with Qingyun, that we'd visit switzerland together in 2013, that promise, I have to keep, for its something for me to look forward to.
Yesterday I chilled out qith QY at .. bishan library and PS! okay, i know normal people do not go to the library to Chill... but.. It was so beautiful a day, we simply sat there reading, then off to window shop at J8 and PS, and we shared a drink at Carls'Jr Free flow while reading again, haha!!! Its PERFECT relaxation, I cannot think of another close pal who would do that with me :) I'd go chill with her again, definitely! Mum encouraged me to go chill and yes, though I'd be leaving tmr, I made time out with her, because Greeny friends are too precious to lose. :)
So sorry, for my lousy phone with the lousy camera, hmm... pretty memories just cannot be captured - till then.
Lova ya, see you all soon!

I'll be back in time for christmas!!! Sentosa gift exchange folks!! :)

OPPPSSS.. look at the cauldron in front of me!

no one knows.

It was steamboat bbq dinner time, and guess what! A little far back it was drumming my beloved techno music! OMG.. i didnt want to come home... :( haha... imagine I go to the amphitheatre and start dancing to the techno beats! I want to go clubbing, one day, when I'm stubborn enough and brave enough to tell mum so... YES.
Cycling at east coast park today.. didnt make my 3 hours of cycling worth because they sat down to watch the scenery of macho man skiing over the waters:( , but it had been a great time out with classmates Huiting Mich and Jiaxin:) My maiden outing with them... Yeah, i guess I'm no longer a noob at cycling, i managed to turn round and round around the area of palm trees in circular plots! haha... so fun, like a merry-go-round! Yep, you did it ay!
Steamboat dinner, and my whole tummy is 98% filled with my favourite Dori fish!!! I eat nothing but FISH! Good omega 3 oils and fatty collagen without sins.. haha!!!
BUT nothing, can ever replace the heavenly humble steamboat at MARINA BAY beneath the stars which i have enjoyed with Greeny Gang years back... Gone, forever, all because of the Integrated Resort. Humph!
Okay.. that's it, pics up next time...
I tell you, the techno music rocked the beach man! But you know the agony, when no one around you knows how special this music is.. and no one gets so high with you, I just got to suppress the euphoria...
Monsy, i miss cycling with you!!!
Goodbye...

This Morning
I dreamt of myself playing netball, the exact netball tournament I participated in with class 2/5, in that familiar parade square, with the same old pro netballers in class, Mindy and PeiXuan! I was the shooter like usual, you know, I had been so proud being the shooter... lol... because several years back mine was an average height so i got that position, it was so glorious... haha!!!
Yes, and my class came in champion in reality! My first sports trophy in my life you know! XD

bittersweet

Sent Randy bro off at the airport yesterday with Cheryl Tan!!! :)
didnt take any photos since i lost my phone, the one i'm currently using produces too embarassing pics...
and then off we went to bugis to shop!!! oh, i'm.. er , trying to change my wardrobe! haha.. Thanks to cheryl for being like my... personal assistant helping me hold things while i tried on clothings.... Its still very much within my budget! Left 1 last thing to buy, before I'm totally satiated.. haha.. we shopped for 3 hours!
Then accompanied cheryl to the bustop and i brisk walked to the library!! following that brisk walked to the hawker centre to buy dinner back home for dad and myself, reached home at 8 plus, around 10, flop, i'm off to dreamland...
Recently my dreams have been revolving around what I encounter with during the day.. and I'm too lazy to decipher what these dreams meant in my 'book of dreams' anymore.. hmm.. aint it all conincidental?

At 3a.m, i received a message from my classmate Yemin! Oh, he's so sweet i'm telling you! Never expected him to be so sentimental over leaving Singapore... though we do fret over work together and the many quarrels with him I've had during the eventful PW days...
here's what he said:
hey anna. see you next year. thank you for ur card. i'll keep it well. now cannot sleep cos too excited, going to airport at 5.45am. take care ya. dont be too stubborn. tell melissa to take care too.
aint it sweet? haha! hmm.. probably he's older than us, so he's naturally more mature and is able to appreciates life more... yup!

The airport yesterday was a nice place, cheryl said what's so nice about it.... but, Its nice!!! the place of transit between where you belong and somewhere new, different. I love being on the plane, indulging in sinful food and hoping to catch stars... i cant belive myself being in midair. The trip to Thailand with OSLE was my first step out of my comfort zone into independence, though i sat alone on the ride home, i felt proud of myself. I know "things" aint that rigid, somehow. I made friends with the warm uncles and aunties sitting around me :)

I dont know how I'm feeling now... bittersweet? Lazing on the sofa, i cant recall just several weeks ago i had been mugging hard into my papers on such a sultry afternoon - numbed - and my mind shuts itself out of every scene of it. I EDont Ever want to relive those days, never. Its too tormenting on me. I can feel something unknotted within. Something I'll keep straight, for as long as I can.

:) ay.starsplash
its 1 more week plus...
