Laggy Post!!

I'm back!! (For the past 2 weeks) Just that I started work so soon after I touched down that I didn't get the chance to upload my photos from the phone only till 3 days back and again didn't ge the chance to blog about the trip till now.

I woke up at 11 today!! How fantastic that feels every once in a while. All right, so lets get down to business. Made a trip down to look at UQ plus hopefull set my mum's mind at ease so that she doesn't pack up and leave with me, however this trip shot me in the foot in some ways. For instance, she's now decided to come down with me for the first few days to help me 'settle down'. I shall not dwell upon that because I know that most people don't share my viewpoint on this matter.

So... the school was gorgeous! I always had this ideal image that Unis overseas would be full of lucious green fields, great architechture and students walking about worry-free with a perpetual smile plastered on because they truly are happy, birds chirping and butterflies singing.... Oops. yes that was Utopia in my mind and I never expected UQ to be actually close to this. It isn't really like that, but it ain't far off either. (THey had this HUGE lake in school! And green green grass!!) Omg I sound like a cow who can't wait to chew the school field barren.


Lucky Siyi, this is the Law building. It was so huge that I tried to get a picture of it from the outside, not a very nice picture because I thought, hey, I'm gonna be there for 4 years, surely I'll be able to get better photographs, but this one's just a carrot hanging on a stick for Siyi. Hehheh... Sandstone buildings!!


While in Brisbane we met Lionel's Aunt and her daughter Shyanne and her cousin Kelvin. There's nothing more adorable than a couple of Asian kids blabbering in an Aussie accent about thigns you're clueless about and yet they get each other perfectly. My sister took videos of their funny antics, I'll post them up once she gets them out of her camera. They're sooo adorable!!
Plus Shyanne's dad cooks the BEST chinese/vietnamese food in the entire world I swear. We ate there 2 consecutive days and didn't get sick of it. We never got enough of it in fact!


Now we went off to Gold Coast on Thursday. This is the carpark of the famous Movie World! You see those 2 things sticking out in the air?? Those are the 2 newest rides Batman something and Superman something. Freakin' high!!!

Here's the superman one from a closerup shot. If you notice, despite perspective faults, the slope going down is almost perpendicular to the ground. Actually, it is! I cannot describe the amount of adrenaline in my blood that day, I think I would've burst! But Superman was fantastic, they accelerate you from 1-100km/h in 2seconds. TWO SECONDS LEH! You feel like your heart is left behind (somehow this cliche line seems only apt in this context) Following this killer slope is a series of other less killer slopes but at killer speeds. Soooo. That's Superman. a must try for all going to Movie World in time to come.


More random pictures, Here's my mum acting as the funka' mama.

Back to Sunny Singapore, aren't these shoes gorgeous?? New Balance's new series! Sadly they're all men's shoes, but they're extremely affordable at their factory outlet at Comtec, this ulu building at Harbour front. Any of you people need $40 sports shoes??
