零下十度: 1st Day of Trip

MY very first Australia trip to Gold Coast was a great one. 2 must bring items are Sunscreen and moisturizer....I got a cracked heel and dried face even though i did apply sunscreen...:(

I changed some Australia dollar a day before by RM2.59 for a dollar. quite cheap though.

Heading off to LCCT by 7pm as international flight check in 2 hours before the scheduled flight. My plane take off at 925pm on 17th October, 2008. It's the Air Asia X, buying cheap at RM 1000/head for 2-way ticket.

Oh my, an 8 hours flight~ :) It's a bigger plane than domestic Air Asia plane and even the same meal costs dearer.

DAY TIME
Reach on 18 October 2008, 730am Australia time.
I got my 2 way airport door to door transfer plus unlimited bus ride for 5 days at $72 by Surfside busline. I think it worth, it meets all flight in Gold coast and we travel around gold coast by just waving the ticket. Good for backpackers.

Weather is cool and windy...with a lot of sunshine. 15-20celcius in the morning and about 11-15 at nite. Here, is 2 hours later than malaysia meaning Malaysia 6am, Australia 8am. :)

My resort is Santana resort, a fully furnised, self contained resort.anyone interested, contact me, i will book for u with special member price ;P. Personally love its kitchen with oven, microwave, fridge(sure la) and dishwasher~i can roast a chicken and bake a cake. :P Check out the bathroom, it is equiped with washing and drying machine.

Too hungry and we hang out at Oasis, the supermarket...Having our lunch at about 3pm. I ordered rice with 3 dishes at $6.30 (all meat..no choice of vege..why ar?)

Piow's Salmon is damn nice~@$9+ reasonable. I tell u what, angmoh did better french fries than us...very much...

He is tasting what are the blended fruits in this $5 fruit jumbo. Yeah it consists of apple, pineapple, watermelon, orange and celery. yummy~

WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE TO SNAP THEIR FOOD??and, i'm one of them...haha

NIGHT
We are staying in between BROADBEACH and SURFER PARADISE. Welcome~The night comes early and shops close at 6pm mostly in broadbeach area. In Surfer Paradise, we can still stroll around till 11pm.

Bus that takes us around 24H, surfside bus which has good driver and comfortable seat.

Some view of the beach. cool la, where are the bikinis...

Life guard on duty, they are really good in keeping an eye towards those swim out of the safe zone. :)

DINNER
I'm really a Tomyam lover and tonight i can't sleep without a Thai food dinner. With a walking distance from my resort, we reach this award winning Chiang Mai Thai Restaurant. A lot of tourists(like us) and local people dining in.
