Child hood day

Movie world. I wish it is bigger, it's a small world with warner bros' classic cartoon characters wandering around.
With my escape pass $ 103 , i get to visit the Sea World and Movie world(or wet wet wild, 2 parks in 3 days, single entry). Again, we hop on the shuttle heading to my dreamland. Here, im only 25 minus 15 years old. excited. Beautiful scene and the cute childish little gal.
I catch some photo with super heroes, bugs bunny, tweety, pussy cats etc.
We go for thrilling ride, the batman spaceshot, superman escape(i didnt try..giddy still post whale watch), spooky scoobydoo coaster(i love this :P), die hard etc....
I cant manage to take photo with batman and catwoman, high demand, so i curi curi snap them from far. hohoho
Our snack is nice....crepe with hot beef and avocado creamy sause etc...
By the way, the Shrek 3 D show is nice too.
At about 4pm, there is a parade by Austin power, all the warner bros cartoon, and the cat woman is joining the parade too.
Why must everyone has big "front view" and so generous to show?aiksss...jealous la.Tonight i wish to eat tomyam mee la, and we buy a whole big roasted chicken at $10..so cheap.we cut it into quarter and have it for 2 days :P


My spicy tomyam instant noodles, tastes so good in Australia when everyday's menu is cheese and bacon. hahha.

Whale and draculas day 4


Day 4 we plan a Whale watching Cruise. It is only available from Sept -Nov every year.We cruise around to see rich man's bungalow along our way to ocean Pacific.
This is my 1st time cruise around Pacific Ocean!!! The wave is strong and the sea is really in dark blue. We manage to see a LOT of whales splashing in the ocean, doing some head slunt etc. But it will be better if we get closer, we are lack of luck this time in fact.
The worst thing is i vomit in the Ocean Pacific! I should have shown u the picture of my vomit in the toilet. Red and blue colour, proves that my blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are not fully digested. Urgh....
After vomiting pose. I feel weak and giddy.
On our way back, we saw a 7-11 petrol station, probably sponsored by 7-11...hehe

After the Whale watching cruise, we head to Harbour Town, where u can get all cheap sports stuff. Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma,etc, u can get limited edition too at prices as low as $30/ pairs of sports shoes!!! Other than that, as a tourist we get a discount card at tourist information centre.
We have our lunch here at Kebabs, not bad. But the ang moh everyday eats meat, beh sian ar?
I pose in front of Harbour town fresh market. All fruits and vegetables seem bigger than ours. ehemmm...Night time...we go the Draculas restaurant. 4pm, we eat a caesar salad, cheese again bacon again.Preparation before going...smart casual wear. :) I wear a short tube top skirt.Going in at 6pm,show started at around 730pm, enter by a ghost train.my god my god.damn excited~no camera is allowed in the castle. U can see vampires climb up the wall or gates awaiting the arrival of guests. They scared me and entertained me by magic trick.
I just love the place with great shows!!!Nice live band!!! funny jokes!!! and the most entertaining draculat hang around, ordering for meal. The meal is not bad, with 3 course dinner set.
A must go theme restaurant.End of show at 11pm+...i get "sucked" and i have a wrist band to allow me to stay up till late..but too tired le, i need to head back to my apartment.

I pass by the convention centre and snap a photo in front of it.
Call off day 4...time to bed.

My 3rd day


We are here in Sea World on 20/10/08.
We visit the Peguin point, the Shark bay..we watch the adventurous 4D experience of Turtle escape, see the cute gigantic polar bear, big aquarium with live feeding show etc.
Nevertheless, we watch the big bird show and some sea lion shows. Join the kids as audiences i think i'm at the age of 10, i shout and scream out loud. Im quite enjoyed though but piow keep pulling me out and ask for some thrilling ride. Ok, fine, i know i will be so scared for all the splashing water game and high shoot ride.

I can ride the pirate ship because, im tall enough~~hehe
Here i touch the starfish and sea cucumber. They are HARD, like a rock. Oh NO, i didnt touch stingray like other visitors, i think it's dangerous! It kills, Steve Irwin. !!!These mammals, fishes and animals are so close to us.
I'm rather POOR if not i will pay more for more encounter with dolphin, shark, sealion and so on. Another additional point is, i afraid of water...
Before we leave at 5pm, Piow bought a dolphin for me since im really into a cute dolphin in the Sea World.
The night after Seaworld is not really cool. We have our great time strolling along surfer paradise, after bathing at our apartment.
Here in Surfer Paradise, u can find cheap souvenirs and NOUGATs. yes yes i bought 5 kg of nougats at about $115-120. Forgot :P and u know the koala keychain costs me $2 for 12 koalas...too cheap as compared to other place. too many competitors.
But, we are too poor to buy any LV bags, that's why i hate LV.

We intended to take dinner at HardRock but it's crowded. So, in the end we took a photo with the nice big bike and browse through the pictures, show suits hanged on the walls
We have our dinner at an Irish restaurant. I have a nice spagetti and piow have nice steak. Good night~Point to ponder: You see, one has to get a travelmate which is not pushy, not rushing and never say :" no need to see polar, it's in Singapore Zoo, no need to watch XX show, it's all about sea lion jumping around, no need to see..cause it's same in Malaysia.."

Day2 in leisure

Day 2, 18/10/2008. We woke up early to catch the free shuttle to weekend Carrara market, which opened from about 730am to 2pm.
This morning, our breakfast was "last night's left over". Haha, the unfinished Thai dishes. Warm it back in microwave, the dishes were served with coffee and potato salad from Pacific fair,woolworth market.
Here we go Carrara, the well known weekend market where u could get a lot of bargain.
Big fresh market selling fruits and vegetables with cheap prices. They sang and dance to attract customers. I bought 2 big boxes of strawberry at $5, 2 boxes of blueberry at $8. The prices are simply unbeatable...(but day after i found blueberry on sale at Woolworth supermarket there at $3.80/box.haha. It was $7+/boxes without promotion)

The lunch was great! The greek marinated lamb cutlet served with Greek salad, potato salad, Pita bread, olive and Feta cheese. This big portion was shared between us. $15, the greatest thing in Gold Coast i think is the tasty Western food.

We spent our morning at Carrara till 2pm, bought some souvenirs eg koala keychain etc. Quite expensive here as compared to Surfer paradise. Here, 12 pieces of koala sold for $3.5o but in Surfers Paradise's shops u can get this 12 pieces of koala at only $2. Even the bigger koala at $2 too.As a conclusion, don't buy souvenirs in Carrara Market. Go Surfer Paradise!!! U can find cheap souvenirs and nougats there at "Duty Free Shops", near the Hard Rock area, stroll around la~~
After that that we went for a stroll somewhere near Oasis. We dropped by an Ice Cream shops, Gelato Veneziano. We ere attracted by the signboard. Let's give it a try, without thinking of how much it cost in Malaysia ringgit. Hehe..
Not bad though, smooth and silk. hahah..too sweet i think. :) it's a combination of rum raisin + cappucino and...??
Realized that we had spent a lot in day time, we decided to buy some light breakfast for tomorrow, perhaps some breads...Okay, i bought these chocolate muffin at $2.90. reasonable and delicious.
At night when all the shops closed, basically not much places to visit. We enjoy our Sunday leisure in our apartment. I posed with my newly purchase doll, weird looking. Wakakaka~~~~
Let's go to Sea World tomorrow~~
