The Rest of Queensland AND The Formal!

Wednesday, September 20.
Wow, that was quite some time ago. I really need to pee so I'll try to make this short. Which day was this? AH YES. The day Sarah and I went to the beach. We went into Surfers Paradise first, and got a beachmat thingy made or that annoying stuff.. yeah that's the..D We aslo got a big umbrella. Unfortunately at the beach, it was so fxcking windy we spent like an hour putting the stuff up and trying to get it to stay, I was so post officed.
So Sarah went back to the hotel for like, 10 minutes, and came back with a boogieboard. So we went boogieboarding in the waves. I've never done that before, it's rather delicious. Mmm. :)
OH AND THOSE FREEKIN INDIAN PEOPLE FINALLY LEFT =D spa hogging bastards.

Thursday, September 21.
Right, mum couldn't be bothered, so Sarah and I went to Wet'n'Wild world.
(Well actually before that we went to Movie World and just walked around coz there was nothing to do.) I didn't particularly want to, what with my insane fear of drowning and the fact that I suck at swimming. :D But hell. We went into the wave pool and such, and there's this thing called Calypso Beach which is pretty spankable. It's a circular river that goes around this little island.. you go on it on inflatable tubes, it's great. Also, there's this thing called Buccaneer Bay for the kids. There's a big pirate head up the top that is having water poured into it, and when it gets too big, the bell rings, and everybody gets dunked in the water. So of course, Sarah and I stayed back and watched the kids drown.
There's another ride atop a biiig hill, I forget what it's called, but it's basically a water slide.. well actually there's 4 of them. There were some scaaary people in the lines there. Like some old man who looked pregnant with a small, mail-ordered bride from Asia. =D
Anyway, Sarah and I went down that thing heeeaps coz it's mighty fun. The first time I went down it, I'm so damn light, I wasn't going fast enough. The kid behind me (who is supposed to be gapped apart about 30 seconds) actually overtook me. It was embarrassment. And another time, and this was actually quite scary: I went down, then Sarah did. SHE WAS COMING UP BEHIND ME AWFUL FAST. I had to keep pushing myself to go must faster otherwise she would crash into me. Brr.

Friday, September 22.
I'm pretty sure we left on the Friday.. yes, jolly good, yes. We checked out in the morning and went over to the bus stop and waited for AAAGGGESSSS for the airport bus to come around. It finally did, and we got to the airport. The flight left at about 2:30, I believe, and we got back around 5, 5:30. During the flight I was sitting next to some indian guy. I was afraid he had a bomb.
SHUT UP. XD.
Anyway. We got back and outta the airport blahh blah and we were waiting in the drop-off bay, and by now it was dark. Father finally came around and we went home..
THEN I FOUND MY PINSTRIPE BLACK PANTS THAT I PLANNED ON TAKING TO QUEENSLAND. They were in my drawer the whole time.

Friday, December 1.
HAHA that's right. Let's skip forward two months to the YEAR TWELVE FORMAL. That was mighty fun. Sarah brought Ben as her date to this place in Cranbourne.. (they went in a limo) and she brought me, mother, father, Julia, Erin and Kyla. Everybody was tlaking and taking photos outside, then after a while we went into the dining area thing where the formal takes place :) the six of us, (minus sarah and ben) sat at a table, shared by these four, horny, drunken people. Every now and then they went outside with their partner and came back in separately (not much a time difference though, it was still obvious) buttoning their shirts and whatnot.
So eventually, Mason, Stef and Caz were up there introducing everyone to the formal etc, as Shad was taking pictures. Then the waitresses came around dropping random plates of food onto people. I got chicken and crap. I ate some of it. Hoozahs?!
Then came awards for teachers. Again, Mase, Stef and Caz were up there, I think they were the 'most likely' awards to teachers, they were hilaritus.
I think next there was dancing? There was a DJ of course, so everybody was dancing to the techno, and eventually there was the macarena, went for AGES. So me, Erin and Kyla joined in on zee action, and so did Mrs Field and her new, massive, unstable, black boyfriend.
Sorry bout that folks. ;D
Haaa, anyway
then they did dessert. Mousse, mm. Infact, this next thing probably happened before the dessert:
Students awards! Each student got a 'most likely' award and they were alllll different. Coz Sarah took a lot of days off school this year, hers was 'Most likely to take a sickie on the night of the formal'
Mason's was "Most likely to be married to AB this time next year" AHHAHAHA. Here's some others I can recall:
"Most likely to throw this award out"
"Most likely to do the best moves on the dance floor"
"Most likely to cater for Mexicans"
I DONT THINK THE LAST ONE IS RIGHT. But I like it, ton sarn.
Anyway, at around 10.30 dad, went home, then the DJ started up again. Me and Erin joined in the dancing for aaaages. They went at about 11:40, and we left at midnight.
JOLLY GOOD.

Queensland, Dave Five AND My Birthday!

Tuesday, September 19.
Okay I'd like this to be quick. The Tuesday in Queensland was SEA WORLD DAY. There's a huuuuge monorail going around the place, which we rode on out of boredom, woohoo. There was a show on, some realllyyyy cheesy '60s surfer thing with teenagers in love and LOTS of water-skiing and water-activites. :]

We saw heaps of anermuhls, like the underground shark viewing thing, the seals whom have rocks, AND Melissa from year 11! We saw her but she didn't see us. No she's not an animal. Bahha :]

Sarah and I went on the log flume which was SHAPED LIKE A PIRATE XD and there was a huuuuge drop that I screamed at :] We too went on the Bermuda Triangle which took soooo long in the line and that crappy video about Americans. Then there was the boat ride into the volcano which SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. Creepy aliens and very, very loud noises, flashing things, FIRE, backwardsness, betrayal and the guy talking on the "radio" which was just plain hilarity.

Anyway after looking at a lot of animals and this big ship that you could see dolphins from (and we also watched a dolphin training bit) we got on this chairlift from one side of the park which went allllll the way to the other side over the lakes and stuuf it was SO high up it was creepy.

ANYWAY I hate asians, they were walking so damn slow we missed the bus the hell out of there and we had to wait for another one -.-" ASIANS WERE EVERYWHERE.

The end.

Monday, October 2.
FOR THAT. Now my birthday was the first day of school, which was actually a staff work day so we didn't go, BAHAH. I tried planning my birthday party but things just got in the way that made me go: John confused? So I didn't end up having one.

I made a list :] Off it I got Scrubs season 4 (BOOYAH), Simpsons Season 8, and baha eee my dad got the wiggidy-wackiest birthday cards he made himself thanks to our old buddy the internet :] and a STEWIE LUNCHBOX HEHEHE it is so cute. Treehehehehehehe =DDD

Of course grandparents and uncle Bruce gave me money, woohoo! Happy birthday to me! :]

Queensland Day Four AND The Show!

Monday, September 18.
Oookay, fay four was the Monday that we went to Currumbin, which is like a biiiig nature park thing. Like seriously, it's huge and spans over two roads. -.-"

The Currumbin National Park had animals and such. The queue at the lunch bar thing took like half an hour, we saw the Totally Wild show (which had nothing to do with the TV show whatsoever) and everythign there was uber expensive.

There were iris birds everywhere, and at 4pm they had a lorikeet feeding where people held up trays of food for lorikeets to come get.

So we walked around and such, la dee da, swell day for a hike. Then we went home.

Yeha I know, Currumbin wasn't that interesting.

Although later we could have gone into Surfers Paradise, if this was the night. It probably was, so I'll just write it here. :)

We got uber cool ice-cream and went ino the RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT MUSEUM.

It was so very, very weird. It was all underground, and there were weird videos and pictures and interactive things everywhere. Infact, one bit there was a mirror so you could do some tricks with your tongue, like rolling it etc. Then later in the thing you find out that it's a two-way mirror, so you get to watch people make stupid faces in the mirror! It was hilaritus!

Yes, hilaritus. Also they had this great thing where you walked through a small tunnel, and the walls are actually a big circle with fake rocks and stuff, and it rotated like crazy. So once you step inside you get really dizzy and walk along the path, and there's just a door out the other end next to the mirrors, that reflected the spininess of the rotating dealy.

Yeeeeah that didn't make much sense.

Wednesday, September 27.
Oookay, I'm gonna skip ahead a few weeks to the last Wednesday of the holidays before I forget it. I went to the Melbourne Shooow!

Okay I was meeting Donna and Julie at the Frankston station for the first time. I got there at like 7:30, and they were already there. Julie was scared of me coz I kept patting her, and Donna's sister Rachel, and her boyfriend Brad, were there too. So Trevor came as well, I donno if he was there already I don't remember, but then Louise came later and I met her for the first time as well. At like, 8, we got on a train and went up to Melbourne.

We had some trouble with wehre we were getting on or off, whathaveyou, and I kept bothering Donna and Julie on the way up which of course gave me ENDless enjoyment! HoozaH!

Sooo yeeeah we switched trains at Southern Cross station to the showgrounds one. We got there at like.. some time. 10, perhaps? Anwyay we went through and Julie peed, which was wonderful. Donna and I could hear PANIC! playing so we were singing along outside and Julie came out later, who heard us the whole time :)

Anyway there was some ride that had heaps of chain chairs and it got up really high and spun around in circles for aaages. Donna was eager to go no, I was not, and Julie is more brave than I so those two went on. BAHAH JULIE'S FACE WAS SO SCAAAAARED. Aww, she looked so cute tho <3 style="font-weight: bold;">

Amber and Julie were not happy. Oops <3<3<3 style="font-weight: bold;">Word Count: 1,036.

Queensland, Days Two & Three.

Saturday, September 16.
Oh-kay-son! 2nd day, we woke up, Sarah and I probably tried to find a slim chance to get in the spa as there was ALWAYS someone in it. ALWAYS. Especially this evil, greedy Indian couple who wouldn't stop howling over it. Silly, silly people.

So we got a bus down to Pacific Fair. Now Pacific Fair is this HUMUNGOE shopping centre, that is just the largest thing ever. It's like Southland, apparently.

I went and had breakfast at a cafe thing, pancakes :) They were HUMUNGOE so I didn't eat it all.. hehe. Mum stopped at like every store, and for some reason we stopped at Target for like 2 HOURS MINUS ONE HOUR. They wanted to shop shop shop! I found a DVD of Annie, Fly Away Home and Madeleine. So I bought that for the kicks.

KICK.

Then, I got sunnies! At last! We had searched for sungalsses just about everywhere and finally found some <3 style="font-weight: bold;">.

Sunday, September 17.
One. Where is the fife. And two, give me the fife.

Okay we got up and decided to go to MOVIE WORLD! Hoozah! We got in tharrrrrrr, there's like a gazillion sections before the actual entrance. First there's the bus parking and seating in very front, in the middle of nowhere.

Becuase Movie World and Wet n Wild World (and that Australian shack thing) are out in the middle of nowhere on the highway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane).

Anyway then there's the BUY YOUR TICKETS AREA. Then you walk forward like, another 10 metres and there's the VALIDATE YOUR TICKET area. Then like, another 30 metres ahead is the landmark archway to the park: The giant Movie World sign. We both some photos infront of it, which was the sex :)

So we went inside and there's this giant waterfall, that actually wasn't giant, infront of us. To the left is the BATMAN STORE AND RIDE which we didn't even get into that region. Infront of the waterfall is the SUPERMAN RIDE.

LIKE HELL.

Maddz kept wanting me to go on it, and I think not! Bahahah! Fools!

I can hear the transmission thing talking. "Please prepare for your suicide, now. If you wish to live, please exit the ride immediately. *Harnasses come down* BAHAHA JUST KIDDING."

Asians were everywhere taking photos, almost everything was a gift shop, and they had these delicious things called CHURROS, which is like a cinammon donut, only it's long like a huge sausage and baked more thoroughly :)

Oh golly I could live off those. Even writing about them is making my mouth go boom.

We went into a gift store or dozen, coz mum really wanted to, and I was phoning with Maddz thinking of soemthing to get her. I couldnt decide, so Sarah led me out and told me to come back at the end of the day, which we forgot all about. I still don't have anything for her!

So we passed the Shrek 4-D thing, and went in! Now I assumed 4-D was just 3-D with a MORE X-TREME name. I was wrong. 4-D is actually 3-D, except the chairs move too. For instance, Donkey sneezed, and wtaer came out of the chair infront of you and sprayed you in the legs. And spiders jumped on the screen, so little burts of air came out behind your legs and tickled your leggings. There was also a spray of wawter from the back of the chair in the neckle region, and the chairs vibrated a lot.

Okay, it was just creepy. So ON WE WENT down the path and there was like, Hi-5 impersenators, or Mystery Inc. impersonaters, I forget who was there at the time. Anyway it was just scary, so ON WE WALKED, into the little area which was the.. Looney Tunes something. We went on the River Ride, which was a journey to "find Bugs Bunny" coz he ran off, then we went through a river with lots of.. things. It was just weird.

So I then went on MY FIRST ROLLERCOASTER EVARRR. The Road Runner Rollercoaster. lol it was just weird. Who the hell puts their arms in the air?!

Lol, so Sarah and I went on the KIDS BUMPER CARS. Never been on that before, either. It was so great. lmao. Mum took photos :)

I wanted to get an airbrush tattoo, but Sarah didn't! BAAAAH

We went back to a gift shop and I bought a keyring, and mum bought some mugs. Teeeeeheeeee

I think we left after that. If I missed anything, TOO BAD

Oh wait, we saw the Police Academy Stunt Show. Lmao it was great. For the half-hour it filled, there was a mime dressed like a cop who was doing clown-things, like blowing up balloons and spraying people with water.

The stunt show itself was funny, they brought down 4 random people from the audience, and one of them WAS ACTUALLY A STUNT GUY. And he got hurt a lot. Lmao. It was terrific. There was explosions, fast cars, falling, diving, suspending, flying through the air.. bah it had it all. GIANT FIRE ERSPLOSION AT THE END.

So yeah we bussed home, watched that DVD I bought. Hehehehe.

Queensland, Day One.

Friday, September 15.
Okay, it's the alst day of school, but I didnt go. I got on a plane to Queensland instead. The plane left at around the middle of the day and got there at 2:20. I sat at the airport outside at Coolangatta and called Maddz. A shuttle came like 20 minutes later. =D So we took the shuttle to Enderly Gardens, on the way noticing that there are too many resorts, buses and Asians, and settled in.

This place is great. It has a pool and a spa! Oh, and a sauna! Ooooooh. Actually it's got a table tennis, tennis court, a playground and a few barbeques to. It's just that we didn't use those. =D

So on the Friday night, Mother, Sarah and I went into the main shopping centre downtoen of Surfers Paradise, called Surfers. Or Surfers Centro, blah blah. On Friday nights down by the beach, there's a market, where people set up stalls and things. It was quite boring, though Mother found it FASCINATING! We walked around a lot after that, and bought a few things. Later we went home and went to bed. Late.

The thing about the Gold Coast is, if you're either old, fat, or Asian, you're going to reproduce. And boy do they. They were everywhere.
