Filed under: Uncategorized — littleburrow @ 12:23 pm

Semester break is coming to an end so soon! Starting semester 2 next Monday and hope I can still do well or even better in Semester 2! Haven’t been blogging ever since Semester 1 examination, and so lack of words to blog. Anyways, I went to Melbourne for two weeks to visit Pa, Ma and Ying. I flew with the seniors (Yi Huey, Chian Mei, Shiou Yii and Shaz) to Melbourne but were separated at Melbourne airport because Ying and Pa came to pick me up and the seniors went to city to check in their hotel but I meet them up the next day for dinner at Sofia.

MELBOURNE

Me and Shaz

All of us had a wonderful and a very full night!

GOLD COAST

We went to Gold Coast for the weekends! It’s was so nice for Pa to keep his promise to bring me there because he left me alone at home when the whole family went there 10 years or so ago. Of course took a lot of pictures and since Ying is the photographer, so most of the photos taken will have my face in them!

We went to the theme parks (just the Movie World and Sea World) because it was so windy and cold so we didn’t go to the Wet ‘n’ Wild World. Of course, Gold Coast was so much warmer than Dunedin and Melbourne and I did enjoy the warmest of the sun!

Movie World

Took some photos with the mascots! Tweety!!

And of course need some photos with Pa and Ma too!

Ying also had a fantastic time with Ma and Pa! And of course ME!

Ma finally brought herself a churros which cost AUD$3.50 :O

This is my favorite ride out of all the rides! Had so much fun laughing at Ma’s expression after the ride! Hahaha..

Hard Rock Cafe

Went to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and Pa brought me a Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt! Thank you!

Taking photos while waiting for the food!

And here we go! Delicious foods being served! BBQ ribs and chicken as usual!

Sea World

I think I preferred Sea World than Movie World because Sea World can see animal shows but not much on rides, although I did ride on the Jet Rescue!

The shows were awesome! So nice to see how the trainee communicate with the animals, it’s like there is some connections between the animals and the trainers! It was so AMAZING!!

Took this last photos before heading back to the hotel!

We head off to Melbourne the next day and for the rest of the days in Melbourne, all I did was eat, shopping and sleep! Such a wonderful life~!! And when it’s time to separate from Ma and Ying, I didn’t cry this time because I’m more nervous than sad! It’s my first time alone taking a plane all by myself! :S But it turns out alright~!! Hehehe Hope to go Melbourne again to spend some more time with Ying (maybe end of this year before heading back to Brunei!)

And this is a collage of my individual photos during the trip! Thanks Ying! *hugs*

Reached Dunedin in the evening and was welcomed by the Cumbian Bruneian And I have to practice for the dance move for the International Cultural Night. For the last weekend before semester starts, Haji planned to go to the Otago Peninsula. The court people decided to bike all their ways there and so we, the cumbian were too lazy to bike and decided to take a bus. But then, when we viewed at the map of the peninsula, it was too huge to be finished in half a day so we decided again not to go but to go to Baldwin Street (steepest street in the world). However, on our way to the street, the wind was too strong and hence, we decided again it’s too dangerous to go in such windy weather but continue heading towards Botanic Garden which in also on the way to Baldwin Street.

Thanks to Ying again for borrowing me her G10! Although everything there was almost dead, but we had a great time there taking lots of pictures with different kind of weird poses! Hahaha..

Shan, the pitcher plant reminds me of you~ Thanks for helping me to buy the souvenir for my RA!

Wani, Yee Hui, Rafidah and Annemarie with the duck foods. All ready to feed the ducks.

Annemarie being chased by the ducks. The ducks were all so hungry, all snatching for foods. Poor Wani was being attacked by them because she was too slow in giving them the foods. Hahahaha..
