Plane ride+trip to the apartment took so long.5 starving teenagers rushed to the nearest eatery and had HUGE meals!.. billy baxters reminds me of billy bombers.. Eliza was about to faint from hunger..thank God her lasagne arrived just in time!..haha. Byron had the most to eat(as usual)..

Whee! At coolongatta the next day.. Hunted around for Safeway, so we could stock up our fridge..(yes, we ARE pigs, and we DO eat alot..) the boys decided to take a detour and 'challenge' the girls to a mini amazing race to see who'd reach woolworth's first. even if they reached first, we definitely were the better looking team(haha!)Coolongatta is like some pretty little suburb with nice old people around..its sucha sweet place to retire!honestly.. While we had breakfast at muffin break,there were just plenty of old couples walking around, having slow walks and breakfasts together.how sweet! waiting for the bus to take us back to the apartment, got ourselves 1.5l orange juice, big m choco and strawberry milk, arnott's bizkits...

PACIFIC FAIR!!.. huge huge shopping area..(note the excitement on our faces).. On our way to DFO, where Byron bought 3 tops for 20, and i got a valleygirl top and shorts for 4.50 each!.. heh.

And the shopaholics were at DREAMWORLD!!.. note: we went to dreamworld on the 3rd day.. i haven't got our movie world pictures from irina yet.. will upload em' another time.. Eliza and i, shocked at the Giant Drop. We seriously wanted to trade our dreamworld tix for seaworld.. something milder. Fuyee,especially, was in sucha laze-around, strictly-no-scary-rides mood.. After we blasted off on superman rollercoasters, and batman giant drops the day before at movie world. Lol~

The Western country layout of the entrance!.. okay, we kinda forced eliza to take this picture.. she always gets sabo-ed into things.. especially by the boys. Haha. basically they delight in her misery.. The poor girl must've felt like she was ready to be executed when she was stuck on the log ride with fuyee and byron, where they splashed her with water the whole way! Lol.

Our first ride!.. a 6-seater log ride.. where people randomly get wet..and poor irina got hit the hardest! haha.

GIANT drop. as you can see, it is VERY high. it seriously causes your legs to become jello just looking at it. You get dangled for an uncertain amount of time before the sudden freefall down 12000000000m. (byron is 1.81m, so go figure!)

The Claw! a new attraction at Dreamworld, its kinda like a viking, just 10000X more exciting and you get spun around as the ride goes on.. Woo!

Churros! yummyyummy. For the girl who never seems to get fat, ms eliza lim!.. haha. at the nickelodeon section of the theme park.. its new too!!.. Theres just sucha happy feel as you tour around, and time passes too quickly.. other rides we took included cyclone(a rollercoaster), wipeout,and loads of spinny rides which made us a lil' sick..

big brother house!..and cafe:D There was the set of where big brother was shot.. for those who don't know, big brother is a reality series which is really big in Aus. Includes all those people in the poster being thrown into a house and forced to live with one another, while doing anything and everything they are commanded to do, by a voice in the house, referred to as big brother. kinda silly, but without cable tv..you just gotta love it..haha.

Cowabungaaaa... reminiscing our trip to sal's farm..

Awww.. fuyee and irina.. he got the lil tiger cub for her.. they went to watch the tigers perform at tiger island while byron eliza and i took all the rides.. we actually got to PAT tiger cubs because we were lucky enough to run into the trainers walking them around the park!..

Alrighty, gonna turn in now! until next time.. movie world pics. and sunny surfers paradise beach you're gonna say 'wahhhhhh' to.. Haha!

Baked mini chocolate mudcakes which turned out pretty well!.. thanks to aunty yochana. you just gotta love her blog.. she should really set up her own stall..

Love ya all!..

p.s. to manda: im so sorry about sparky, but she's in a better place now! cheer up=)

Found a song that really describes how i feel in Melbourne.

"Don't Forget To Remember Me"

18 years have come and gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on

We were loading up that Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye
Then she took my hand and said'
Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas

There's a 50 in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash
Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me

'This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
And those bills there on the counter
Keep telling me I'm on my own
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
And even when it's not, I tell her everything's alright
Before we hung up I said
'Hey momma, don't forget to tell my baby sister
I'll see her in the fall
And tell mee-ma that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl
Yeah, I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
Don't forget to remember me'
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say
but'Lord I feel so small sometimes in this big ol' place
Yeah, I know there are more important things,
But don't forget to remember me
But don't forget to remember me'
