ok here's the post(s) on the trip to gold coast! not in chronological order
took the midnight flight, and nobody could get any sleep because of one screaming baby, so i was pretty much in a zombie-state on the next day
view from the hotel! look at the BIG WAVES
i'm gonna start with the three "worlds" we went to, namely Seaworld, Movieworld and Dreamworld because that's the best three days of the trip!
first stop, SEAWORLD
the two aunties who were probably the only ones holding umbrellas, AND hats. not to mention the thick layer of sunblock with more than SPF 50 that they MUST slather on before leaving the hotel. lol
the viking there is fantastic, it's almost vertical at the highest point!
there wasnt anything much in seaworld other than the dolphins, so we left pretty early
MOVIE WORLD!
the mothers, this time sans hats & umbrellas lol
THE BEST ROLLER COASTER RIDE EVER
this ride, called SUPERMAN is SUPERawesome. from 0 km/h to 100 km/h in 2 SECONDS.
worth the one hour plus wait, but sadly due to the limited time cousin and i couldnt go for a second time =[
lethal weapon ride! your legs are dangling in mid-air lol
the two goons (second row), who wore raincoats but didnt cover their heads lol
sexxxy catwoman!
three little piggies that were trapped in the castle of the evil guy in Shrek 3!
notice that all cages were made from straw, wood and bricks respectively!
THIS,
is 20 plus storeys high! the second mostthrilling ride of three worlds. superman is still unbeatable lol
cousin lam and i on the left. we went on the ride cos we feel that we wanna know the feeling of jumping off a building, and that it would make us think twice if we ever contemplate about commiting suicide haha this one, WIPEOUT, lam didnt wanna go with me so cousin xinying accompanied me! =]
the whole ride lasts 2 minutes plus, non stop 360 degrees turning lol
another fab ride, the CLAW!
sorta like the viking, but waaaay better and FASTER. makes you feel like you're gonna fly lol
motorbike rollercoaster! interesting but sorta uncomfortable cos there's only this bar securing you at the back
and hug koala bears! oh you know the thing about koala bears, that they're supposed to be cute and all?
it's FALSE! they are not cute, nor cuddly, they SCRATCH! all of us who took pics with the koala ended up with holes in our shirts and nasty scratches on our backs, esp lam lol.
so go to DREAMWORLD AND MOVIEWORLD! no offence to the dolphins there, but seaworld is a waste of money lol.
ok more pics another day, exhausted after a day out on the trial run of orientation for year 2s next year.
which is another 7 MORE DAYS! oh man
