Brisbane, mmm, lovely place.
I just can't believe that I'm back. Why don't you just shoot me for not staying back in Brisbane with the lovely winter and cool breezes?!
Whatever. Bloody, hot, sweaty, dung-hill-of-a-place Singapore. Argh.
I bring to you :Brisbane trip, the ultimate experience :D
Day One
Okay, so I was hovering around my house half afraid that I was going to leave something behind and half excited. Well, then a whole day passed finally and after a long and difficult struggle with my dog and my family, we were leaving for the airport. Well, never been to terminal three in my whole life until that day. I tell you, it looks lovely. I was in a bouncing mood, haha. I was bouncing to find everyone and after checking in the luggage, I bounced around to talk to everyone again. YAY! let's just skip all the boring airport parts and get on to the plane :D
So... I was sitting with Isabelle on one side and Sherwin on the other haha. Not to forget Kim Siang behind Sherwin and Kahmin in front of me and Joanna right at the window seat! The journey was fun. I didn't sleep much but I did finish watching the Horton movie! Yays for me! It was so darn funny I was laughing to myself. Guess, I must've looked weird laughing alone on the airplane. But whatever :D I caught a little bit of step up 2 and what else...? Powerpuff girls? Haha, just a little I guess. The food was not bad so I don't understand why Javier doesn't like it? Nevermind, shall not admit that my tastebuds are similar to Nicholas's who calls airplane food heavenly. After a few hours of tossing and turning, we reached Brisbane! CHEERS!
Day two
Oh, I have to mention this guy who helped me with the checking of luggage content. He was oh-so-very-nice :D He tried to converse with me in Mandarin and he even said that I was pretty (in mandarin, of course). How sweet, right? You don't see these kind of officers in Singapore very often :/ Anyway, we were in Bus B! Cheers for trombones! And maybe basses and clarinets... but not so many cheers as trombones! Well, first stop... MOVIE WORLD. Wow... It was grand, man. the first thing you see when you step inside is... The Superman Escape. Which is a super thrill rollercoaster ride that has these crazy bright red loops where you see people go round in. Being the scaredy-cat me, I, obviously didn't try it :D Anyway, guess what was the first thing we tried? Haha, it was the road runner rollercoaster (for kids). ROFL, yeah, we're nothing but a bunch of babies. But hey, it was fun :D Then we were totally excited as we queued up to watch the Shrek 4D Adventures. Oh that was lovely, nice effects, if you ever go there, you MUST try it out. Gingy was looking so adorable in the movie! Oh yes, next was batman's ride 2 =.= All I can see is... Batwoamn is one heck of a lousy driver. Hullo?! Go take lessons from the Batman! Oh yes, I bought Gingy, did I mention that? He is so cute. Haha, no photos this time but maybe later. After that, I can't really remember what other things happened other than Terence dropping his ice-cream on the floor and many people being late. Okay, so after that we were headed to our hotel which was nothing like what I imagined it to be but nonetheless, quite cosy I guess. Dinner was at some golden palace or something. Chinese food in Brisbane =.=
Day three
St Andrew's Anglican college exchange :/ Er, I was kind of unstable then and said loads of horrible things about our school. Like... Boring, Boring like hell, Small, Tiny, Lame, suck-ish =.=? What else? Well, it was quite true actually. I mean the education they receive there is like... really all-rounded. Singapore education, especially IP is more like... educating us to become useless nerds who can only 1) study 2) STUDY 3) STUDY SOMEMORE 4) KEEP STUDYING 5) STUDY TO YOUR GRAVE.
Yeah, I mean we don't have art lessons, or culinary classes, or woodcrafting classes. We aren't trained to have other skills other than the ability the acheive high results? What kind of outstanding student is that? We are just becoming spoilt, nerdy, incapable students who can't live without their mothers or maids :/ but whatever, shall not continue this gloomy topic.
Went shopping at Montville next. Great place, but I didn't get to buy the fudge which was the ultimate thing you should buy there =.= other than that, I even returned to the bus late. After that, not so much a great day anymore.
Day four
Woke up late! YAY! went to redlands. Met a very nice third trombone friend named Matt :D Both Benjamin and I liked him a lot. I daresay he was the most friendly and amiable trombonist there. How adorable! "I'm a die-hard x-box fan >:D" -quotes from Matt. Haha, he was so friendly and talkative thought he talked to Benjamin more probably because I'm a girl and it's harder for him to approach me. Either that or Benjamin's prettier than me. I dunno :D Jupiter Hymn, the new song, was easy for the bass line so, thank god. Someone got pissed at someone today, I think. Can't really remember =.= All I remember is... LOVELY AUSTRALIAN DESSERT. It was heaven!!! CHEESCAKES, CHOCOLATE CAKES, APPLE PIES, FRUIT CAKES, BUTTERED CREAM CAKES, BROWNIES! I just can't possibly list all of them out >:) Too bad you weren't there.
Day five
Concert night was awesome. We had pizza cakes but the bad thing... we were forced to finish our rice first. Ahem, here comes Mr Ng; "Ooh, what is this? Chocolate cake?! Yumyum, whoa, it's good!" >:( Mr Ng took a piece of cake to tempt us as we ate our rice in misery. But nevermind, I finished all my rice (left the veggies) and raced to the cakes, the fruits, the pizza! I got them in the end!
The concert was great. They said it was better than Rhythmn >:D
Day six
Fruit Farm! It was fun! We got to try fresh fruits. Mmmm, yumyum! Don't believe them when they say Lemonade isn't sour. It's only a little better than lemon. Oh yes, had lots of fun on the tram ride or whatever you call it. Amazing place. Poor Wenlin was too happy and fell down on her back. Get well soon! The food was great too. Nice view, nice food. haha!
Concert at the old museum building was awesome. Three trombones but they were loud as hell. I admire you, bass trombonist... my hero! haha... Si Hui was nodding off the whole time. And there wer refreshments during interval. Mmm...
Day seven
Dreamworld was kind of boring for me. Overall, I felt left out but then again... you don't want to hear me yapping about my sadness. I guess it could've been fun! Go check out the other banders' blogs and you will know.
Shopping was kind of a dissappointment because... it was a holiday and all the shops were closing =.= DAMN. Well, at least I got to buy my jacket and my hat from the store called...
THE JAYJAYS
Was so tired at the airport I fell asleep sitting on the floor. On the plane, I promised to talk to ChingYing but guess what? I was knocked out before I knew it. Haha, I was halfway through Definitely, Maybe even =.= Couldn't even wake when the attendant asked me what I would like for breakfast. ZZZ. So sorry, Chingying.
And that's all... might zoom by for photos but highly unlikely to be anytime soon.
Buh-bye!
