Well, what a week. It was fun having kor and pa head down to visit. It was so much fun heading around with kor and just having fun.
Had Hog's Breath Cafe for dinner on the night they arrived. Ordered this huge ice cream which had everyone in the restaurant both kids and adult drooling after it. A few kids even tried walking past nonchelantly just to take a peek at it.
Headed over to Sea World the next day, sadly the camera died on us halfway. Still it was fun exploring around with kor and just having fun.
Went shopping at Habour town with thea, thumb and family on friday. I wish adidas had nicer jacket designs! Had dinner before heading up to Brisbane to club for the night. Was a little disappointed at some part of the evening but enjoyed myself on the whole. Had fun chatting nonsense with kor at mac and we went to the casino to try our luck. Apparently begainner's luck isn't always true. Saw some people playing Texas Hold'em and man are their stakes high or what.
Slept in on Sat to recharge for our Movie World trip on Sun. Had so much fun taking all the photos, playing games and all. We busted $300 just on that trip and most of it went to our entry tickets and games. Kor managed to grab 2 penguins, we managed to win 2 dogs, 2 small animals and 2 looney toons characters. I just love the people here. We were attempting to get 170 tokens to get a looney toon toy, but since we had 210, we could change the remaining 40 for sweets but the guy told us he'd let us choose another looney toon toy. Happy days! So with 8 toys, we each have 4 toys as our reward. cool ey.
Managed to take photos with all the characters available, it was rather fun to just run around trying to take photos with them as the minders do limit them for a certain timing.
Headed to Paradise Island on Monday. Certain people just make me ashamed to call myself a Singaporean. On a happier note, had fun going round with dad and kor and I just miss having an animal to play with. The koalas were rather active that day and this kangaroo tried to hug this kid freaking him out. Went to the animal nursery to find the funniest looking chicken as well as pigs, sheeps and the cutest lamb you've ever seen! I so wanted to bring it home with me there and then. This dog was happily walking around and staring into the guinea pig cage all the time. It didn't even bother about me when I was patting it and just kept staring in.
Some people were rather irritating, opening the cage and slamming the door on the poor baby lamb's head and leg as it was about to make its way out. Trying to feed the sheep but feeling to scared resulting in the sheep wanting to jump out. *sigh*
Watched some shows and what a show, using the whip to cut ferns, having a dog herd sheeps, how they make tea in the wild and even horse riding. It was fun and yes there were cute guys =p.
Tried to take a photo with the horse and the hosts but again there are irritating people who refuses to line up. Made friends with the photographer and I was next in line and no one could cut in coz he was there 'watching out' for me. Cool ey, it's always better to make friends with them and you'd get priority.
Sheep shearing after that. It was so much better than the one we saw years back. The guy managed to control the sheep so it didnt struggle much and he cut it so well it was just a piece of wool and the sheep didnt even get cut. Saw many different types of sheep and boy do they stink lol.
Some lady tried cutting my queue when I was about to wash hand before lunch. Eh you think I stand behind the person for fun ar. Managed to push my way and I think she got the hint (otherwise she's seriously dense and isn't fit to be on this earth) and backed off a little.
Lunch was rather good and again, people took too much food and they couldnt finish it. Typical fellow country men. Makes me sick just to be associated with them.
Had presentation yesterday which was quite disappointing before heading back to Hog's Breath Cafe for dinner with pa & kor. The waitress even recognised us and this time we had that huge ice cream and creme brulee which was oh so good. Pictures are with pa or I would love to share how good it looked.
Got a jumper, kor got a cap and slippers. He's got me tempted to buy a similar cap as well. Maybe I will do that before heading back. They have so much nicer designs here tho it's more ex. I find that I buy alot of clothes from the guy section here lol. All my jackets are meant for guys for one.
Now that Pa & kor had their holiday. It's time to mug. Destination Marketing Exam on tues, Tourism Enterprise assignment and presentation on thurs. Wish me luck people.
