Still very blur about what i want to do with my life...I do have my goals and dreams. So I am now slowly figuring it out.Sunday, January 17, 2010
A long time ago, I had a feeling, don't feel like going home... That was when my ah ma was sick... Breaks my heart to see her wasting away. Anyway that was a long long time ago. Now i must tell myself: not to have that kind of feeling again. No point... Just feeling a bit moody... Definitely PMS! |

Destination: Australia Brisbane Tourists: Kang, Min Zee (me), Pang Yi Tour Guide: Terry Night 7: 5th August 09 Reached Brisbane airport very late into the night. Day 8: 6th August 09 Breakfast/Lunch: Hong Kong Cafe at Gold Coast, portions were big and the porridge was really delicious. The hot milk tea was a enjoyment. Movie World home of Warner Bros. Lots of exciting rides and performance by BATMAN and Bussy Bunny: What's up Doc? Dinner: Taiwanese Dishes (Zi Chia) Some of the dishes were unique while others were familiar. Delighted to taste great food. Day 9: 7th August 09 Breakfast at Club 21. A high class western breakfast with free flow of toast. Me and Pangyi each order a set... I managed to finish mine. GOLD COAST Lunch at this small Japanese restaurant. We order salmon bowl, sashimi set, sushi rolls and the salmon roe Goodness! Really fresh and you can feel the sea breeze as you bite into the sashimi and roe. Best Japanese food I ever tasted!! Right after lunch, I had the best bubble tea I ever tasted. The pearls are sooo QQQQ, you start jumping. Tea was thick and fragrant! Shopping time at Harbor Town! Cheap and branded stuffs, all able to find there. Shopping heaven! Day 10: 8th August Ekka Festive. The authentic fun fair experience!!! Strawberry ice cream, homemade goodies for sales. Farm animals in the barn: goats, sheep, cows. Exciting fun fair rides and games all over. In the evening time everyone gathered to watch horse riding competition. And fabulous acts from racing cars and bikes, speeding, stunts and fire. The fire made us feel just abit warmer. That night was cold and windy. Last but not least: The fireworks show!! Lasted for quite a while. Day 11 & 12: 9th and 10th August 09 Tangalooma Island Resort Whales-watching, dolphins-feeding and Quad bike riding were some of the things we did at the island!! We spent one night at Palm Lodge. It was a experience to spend winter at a beach. Very fun and thrilling! Dinner on the 10th was feast and it was a blast. We went for chinese food at a Hong Kong Restaurant and the Roasted Chicken was golden and crispy. Followed by super soft beancurd dessert that I wished I could ba bao back to Singapore. Lastly we had supper at this building that used to be a church and guess what we had.??? We had waffles!!!! It was heaven, but we were so FULL! Sadly we did not managed to finish and had leftovers. Day 13: 11th August Last minute shopping at the duty free area near the airport together with breakfast before our flight back to SG. Breakfast was Fried Yellow Noodles. It had a very different taste from that of Singapore's. Singapore yellow noodles had this bitter after taste(alkaline taste), but the one I had did not have the weird aftertaste and was even very QQQ. Aboard the flight to SG and was back at Changi Airport about 8pm. HOME SWEET HOME! PS: I sent 2 postcards back to my home and they were safely received. |

Destination: Australia Melbourne Touists: Kang, Min Zee (me), Pang Yi Night 1: 31th July 09 Our flight to Melbourne was at 19:45 Day 2: 1st August 09 Reached Melbourne airport at 6am Melbourne Visitor Centre at Federation Sqaure Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne State Library of Victoria Dinner at Jam Factory Bought magazines: Australia version of Reader's Digest and Cleo Day 3: 2nd August 09 Day trip to Great Ocean Road Caught a glimpse of a whale at Bells Beach Feeding birds and Catching a glimpse of the Koala bears A walk in the rain forest Lime stones formations: Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, The 12 Apostles Dinner at Chapel Street: Yu Cha Dim Sum Bought black tea: Strawberry Cream flavoured black tea The tour guide/driver of the day trip was really unhappy with us and seems abit racist towards Asians. He was a fat old man that really had a grumpy face. Really make our day not so enjoyable. The timing to each place was really short, we had to run to cover the whole area at The 12 Apostles and trying to take as much photos as possible. At one point, the 3 of us was running really fast along the track, and lots of people turn around to see what was the commotion. The wind was cold and the view was just speechless. I always felt that landscape views can never be capture into the photos, only your eyes can do the justification. Day 4: 3rd August 09 Day trip to Phillip Island Animal Visit: Kangaroos, Emus, Sheep, Scotland Cows, Horses and more Penguin Parade: the Little Penguin (World's smallest penguin) Bought: Postcards and magnets Luckily for this day trip to Phillip Island we did not book it under the same tour group. Believe it or not we saw the same old man at the penguin parade. This time round our tour guide/driver was a lady, she was friendly and easy-going. We had so much more fun with her. Fellow tourists on the tour was more friendly and we had a good time interacting. It was interesting feeding the kangaroos, they are really gentle animals, not really what I had in mind. I saw the demonstration of wool shaving from the sheep. We were lucky to able to witness it because the weather that day was not that cold. If the weather is really cold, they will not do the wool shaving. We reached the Penguin Parade around evening and penguins only return to their nest at night. Males are the ones at home looking after their young/eggs. Females are the ones that will go out to the sea. They can be out in the sea for months at time. The females find their nest by calling out to the males by making penguin's sounds. At around 630pm we were out at the beach waiting for the penguins. COLD! I WAS SHIVERING ALL THE WAY WHEN I WAS SITTING ON THE BEACH. I went prepared, with 3 jackets, gloves and cap. We even used the the hot pack. On the way back to the centre, we got a closer look at the penguins. The way they greet each other when the two of them finally find each other, was an eye opener. I was able to tell the penguins were delighted and delirious. Day 5: 4th August 09 Sent out the postcards I bought, at the Post Office Queen Victoria Market Little Bourke Street: Chinatown Bought: Sweater, candies, chocolates, honey, apples Supermarket shopping: Jelly, chocolates and more The market is so different from Singapore's. Has a feel of flea markets. Fresh produce look fresher and greener. Day 6: 5th August 09 Melbourne Aquarium RMIT University (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) Melbourne Central Mall Bought: clothes and souvenirs We had lunch at RMIT University, the number of stalls in the cafeteria was limited, not much of a choice. I had a seafood wrap that was full of veggies. Price of the food there was slightly cheaper. I did see some students with their home-packed lunches. Me and Pang Yi even went up to their library and found books on food technology. Bringing back the good old days of polytechnic and I have to say I still prefer Singapore Polytechnic Main Library. Night 7: 5th August 09 Just a short flight to Brisbane at 20:00 |
