anger simmers but the frustration lingers...
what a spiteful heart. it just keeps piercing.

about to get ready to go out and get eugenie a present.
it's her birthday today and we're going to her chalet this evening.
tried to look for a nice notebook yesterday but couldn't find a decent one.
well there were decent ones but not good enough.
since it's a birthday present, it must be special, i believe.

oh wells. i don't feel like getting a job. *pouts.

i went swimming with my cousin Melissa today. went for dinner with her and her parents after that at long beach. wasn't exactly a very pleasant dinner. with her father making certain comments. her mom was fine just a lil strange with her gift giving.

and i got really pissed with my uncle for making a comment which i choose to to comment about. it really got on my nerves and i just told him off and he quickly changed the subject.

but really, im affected now because of my cousin. i feel sad for her... i would be so troubled if i were in her position. she's really squashed like a hamburger. her parents are just... a mistake. and she's so emotional and always keeping things to herself.. that makes it all worse. really. it's saddening. i really don't know how else i can help her. oh wells.

i shall leave things at that. why get affected? be happy. be thankful i'm blessed with such great parents. although her father and my father came from the same mother, apart from the brains, they're really different. my dad's more open and accepting while her dad is a plain CHAUVANIST. can't be help with his remarks. it comes with his character and personality. it's a package my dears.

shall just shrug it off. adios.

Well, but i'm glad i'm back home in one piece.
Miss my family and my boyfriend.
And I must say i'm really so blessed!

Miss my parents so much! =)

in the past two days, i've been to two places.
sunday: elephant's rock on currimbin beach
monday: sea world

we went to elephant's rock with aunty molly's friends, thelma and her husband dave. they suggested going there for lunch. i swear we had rather unpleasant moments but i really wouldn't wanna talk about it in fear of reliving such embarrassment and ugliness.

anyhow, it is a beautiful place. absolutely one of the better beaches in gold coast. we passed by another beach that was already very beautiful... that was burleigh heads. plenty of surfers though it's winter. lunch was awesome - foodwise. the scenery was also great. so was the temperature and the weather. loved it very much.

we also went to visit dave and thelma's property in the valley. it was a huge natural property and was great for retirement. it was a rather nice and humble crib. it's not built on yet... though they've owned it for 7 years already.

right after that was time for mass. we drove back to near pacific fair, fairway drive for the evening mass. it feels odd.. because in singapore at 6pm, it's still bright and sometimes sunny. so if we attend evening mass, it's perfectly fine and still really warm. however in aussie, it's so different! well also because it's winter now. it gets dark by 5pm... so it's a really new experience for me. hahahas. felt like i was going to church at 8pm at night kinda thing. mass was short and sweet. keeping to the 1 hr mark. a new experience again. the way aussies do their masses but still very catholic. :) the universal church.

sea world was fine. sesame street was awesome. sad thing we din get pictures with the characters. would have been lovely and good for momento. but it's all good. bought several gifts for myself and for some others. had to get that dolphin for myself for only ten bucks. hahaas. absolutely gorgeous.

i wasn't feeling too good today. didn't take ANY of the rides AT ALL. hahahas. kinda wasted huh? yea. you're right. i din quite enjoy myself today. i was so lethargic.. lack of sleep kills the mood and moment. sad huhh. oh wells. i should get to sleep a lil earlier.

photo comes in next entry. cheerios!
i miss my baby boy =(

too bad it's blur but it's looney tunes world!

a pretty neat photo! =)

It's my birthday today and greetings from the Gold Coast, Australia. The weather has been fine but it's especially colder today. Winds up to 40km/h. And it's COLD WIND. hahaha. But i've been loving it and enjoying. Something different from hot and sticky Singapore.

Went to Movie World today and enjoyed myself A LOT! SHITTED IN MY PANTS. not literally of course but almost to that extent. The rides were indeed thrilling and I challenged myself to take most of them. All except Batwings which Melissa, my cousin, didn't attempt as well. She has been trying to gain enough courage over the past 3 years but tend to chicken out when we arrive.

But anyhow, here are some photos as a picture paints a thousand words. I think one of my greatest achievements is going on the Lethal Weapon. I recall at 12 years old when I was there, only my father took the ride because my brothers and I were too scared to go on. Imagine as a kid, your legs suspended and you fear roller coasters. My dad was so proud of his courage that he bought a mug as a mark of his achievement. Hence, I told myself I really had to prove to him I wasn't CHICKEN. Hey I'm a dragon man. I'm FIERCE. and yes! I've achieved it!

About my favourites, I'd have 2. The Superman Escape and the Wild West Falls. Superman Escape was the most thrilling. With a coaster that has such a steep plunge, I swear it feels like jumping off a tall building LITERALLY! It was the best! It was so darn fast i tell you! My heart sped out of my mouth for a 1000 miles before returning when the coaster ride ended. Watch the video!

The Wild West Falls has always been my favourite. Anticipating the big drop and getting WET! Hahahas. I bought a photo of me and melissa in my constipated, scared out of my wits, acting heroic look. it is HILARIOUS. =) Shall scan that in and share with you guys soon.

After that we came back to the apartment and went for dinner at the Gold Coast Shark's Fin and Seafood Restaurant with Aunty Molly's friends and also to celebrate my birthday. Oh.. My uncle gave me a A$100 as a birthday present. :)

For the benefit of those who have absolutely no idea my whereabouts and itinery, I am in Australia for a holiday with my uncle's family in celebration of my birthday. Arrived here yesterday. Intend to visit all 3 worlds and also to wet'n'wild if we have time. We are spending 6 days in gold coast before driving up to Coff Harbour for a stopover at night before driving up to Sydney. FYI, it's close to 1000km to Sydney from Gold Coast. ROAD TRIP BABY! and I'm the designated Navigator. What a responsibility. *shakes head.

Alright enough about my itinery. Been shopping and it's expensive I must say. Several things to buy but not a lot. Have yet to check out Pacific Fair and Harbour Town. I really want to go to Harbour Town but Aunty Molly's friend advised again. Well then again, she's pretty much a rich lady that doesn't quite go for bargains. She buys boots for A$1500. So.. I guess you'd understand. I bought the SUPERMAN T-SHIRT!!! YAYY! one for me and one for my darling boy at home... Miss him HEAPS!!! I LOVE YOU BABY!

Also bought a BATMAN JUMPER (the don't call it jackets here FYI). Also, the call Macs - Mackers and slippers - THONGS. Interesting huhh? Well I already know that from my Aussie friends but just educating those who would be interested on my Aussie Quest. Been enjoying myself despite the much needed tolerance of my aunt and uncle's nonsense occasionally. But it has been good so far! Mel and I have been enjoying ourselves.

Right after dinner we went to walk around a bit without the folks before returning. Visited the video store and rented 4 videos to watch. 3 of which we have to finish by tonight. and it's alright 12 midnight right now. I wonder if we'll get enough sleep! we still have to go to church tomorrow! goodness. Aunty Molly's been a devil! she obviously doesn't want to go to church... So she's been trying to delay and postpone. She says she wants to go to evening mass. But i tell you when evening comes, she comes up with another excuse. The works of Satan in his subtlest of ways. :) EVIL!

It's interesting how the rate the videos here! ahhahas! looking at adult porn in the video stores is an eye opener especially when the folks aren't around. You get to allow your curiosity take the better of you. Haha. It was fun. We rented some stuff to watch. Will fill you in after we've watched.

OK i think i've said enough for one night. I shall start uploading the photos for you guys. Will post this up before I post a photo post. =)

Cheerios peeps. I miss my parents! I haven't contacted them ever since I've landed. And I'm still procrastinating. What a bad habit! ok time to hit the showers soon after I've done uploading.

WHERE'S MY BABY! I finally get a signal to come online and he's not here to talk to me! =( BOO!
