Queensland was AWESOME! I had a really good time and I miss it so much!! I'm not really doing anything that much so I'm just gonna talk about each day! :D
Day 1
Arrived in QLD around 7pm and took a maxi to the house that I was going to stay in. It was $117 for the taxi! Like wt so expensive ay! When I got in the house, my family friends were making dinner. There were 2 other people who I've never met before and they were cousins with my family friends. The house was really big! It had 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, 2 lounges, a play room with table tennis, a swimming pool in the backyard & even a boat! (but we couldnt access it) The outside looks so brand new and modern but the furniture and tv's were old but it was still okay. I was really quiet on the first few days cause I didn't really talk to anyone, vice versa ~ I just settled in, unpacked, showered and yeah slept around 10!
Day 2
I was the first one to wake up, which was at 7am. I thought everyone would wake up early but they ended up waking up around 10-12am! LOL. So I just hanged around the backyard and went out for a walk in the park whilst listening to music. It was actually pretty sunny but very windy. The weather was so perfect! So glad it didn't rain! ^.^ When everyone woke up, we walked to the car rental place to rent 2 cars; an 8 and 5 seater car. So lucky, there were 13 of us and just enough space for all of us! It costs $760 for both cars for 5 days! I was like wooooah. But I guess it's cheaper than going by taxi everyday.
Our first stop was to Dreamworld/White water world. The ticket was 90 bucks for both worlds. I wasn't gonna go swim for www cause I had my time of the month but in the end, I just changed into my swimmers and went with everyone. That day would be the first time I wore a bikini just itself. I was going to wear a tank over but I kinda felt left out.. Cause all the girls wore their bikinis and for some reason I didn't feel insecure about my stomach. We went on nearly all of the water rides for 2-3 hours and then went back into Dreamworld and went on the rides there! I'm so glad that there weren't many people in both worlds The cue for the rides were short and we got to go on the rides really fast! :)
After that we went home, everyone changed and washed up then we went to eat thai food. It was so freaking expensive and wasn't even that nice. The bill was $300 for 13 people! ._. Well anyway, after that we got home and played Thirteen till 12am.
Day 3
We didn't go to any theme parks but went to Pacific Fair which is apparently the biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere, but I find it pre' small .. Mum gave me 120$ to spend. First stop was Baskin & Robins. Spent 20 bucks on it for 3 people. I had 2 scoops and oh boy it sure did fill me up! I had to take care of my lil sister and another lil person! So they just followed me around into each shop I went into. I was looking for something for my kk person and yeah I bought them something very simple. I also purchased those flower head thingys for myself! :D
Then at night we went to Timezone. Which was so freaking big! Apparently its the biggest timezone in the world! LIKE WOAH yeah? It's like the size of a big big big football field! LOL I can't find a better analogy but you get the point! I played ddr twice, thats 4 bucks gone :( HAHHA. Well yeah, we stayed there till 10-ish and the parents wanted to go home but some of my faimly friends didn't so they said they would walk it home and so they did! Only me, my sister, mum and 3 of my ff went home by car. I was still in my swimmers so when we got home, I jumped into the pool by myself! And it was like 10pm haha. I had music on and was just sitting on the noodle staring at the stars and thinking about someone ... HAHAHA :L Then when it was 11, my mum told me off and told me to get out, and so I did. She told me to get out like 3 times or something and I kept saying 'later' xD HAHA. Then the others got home around 11:30 and yer once again, we played 13! :L
Day 4
I wanted to go to Movie world or wet n' wild but we didn't go. My mum and 4 others went to a farm that was owned by her friend. So there were 7 of us teens and we decided to go to the beach/shopping. I got myself and Linda a name necklace. I decided to get that for her birthday since I didn't really know what to get her :x So the girls went shopping and the boys stayed at the beach. After walking around, we went back into timezone and played some games to earn some points. After that we went back to the beach and I wanted to swim but there was only 30 minz left till the parking toll was due so yeah I decided not to swim. The toll was like $2.7 /hr man! So expensive!!! We only paid for 2 hours so yeah we drove home after that and swam in the pool! The others weren't back from the farm yet till night time so we all went out to eat at Hogs breath Cafe which was also so expensive! The steak is like 30bucks. LOL Everyone was really full after that and we were about to go onto a ferris wheel but unfortunately it was closed :'( When we got home, guess what we did.. yep you got it, we played thirteen! I actually slept at 4am (5am Syd time) I didn't even realise! LOL Was up playing cards with Robert and we talked about random stuffs. :) As the days went by, I have become more louder and comfortable with everyone n_n
Day 5
I thought that this day would be the last day in queensland but it was the 2nd last! The girls didn't want to go anywhere but just to stay at home. I suggested to go Movie world and in the end, we went! Like whats the point of going QLD if you're not going to go to the theme parks?! So yeah only the girls and parents stayed home. We actually didn't get that much time to stay in movie world since we went late and got kinda lost! we only had around 4-5 hours! And I wanted to watch the polar express in 4D!! Even 2 years ago when I went movie world, I didn;t get to watch shrek 4D :( Gheyyy! I want to experience and see what its like! But yeah anyways movie world was still fun! The only ride that scared me was.. NOTHING! Surprisingly! Only the first part of Batman & Superman scared me for like 3 seconds and that's all :) We went on all the rides, cept for Green lantern which was not open :( It loooked so mad! I wanted to go on so bad! :| After movie world we stopped by at the beach for an hour and took some photos! When we got home there was asian food on the dinner table! The parents got rice from the farm and made bo kho and cabbage. At night, we played thirteen and had maccas at around 1am cause we were all hungry. Everyone packed all their things already and cleaned up the house.
Day 6 (Last Day!)
Got up at 8 and had breakky. Everyone just got their luggages out and sat in the lounge, played thirteen while waiting for the taxi to come. When we were about to go into the airplane, my family friend remembered that she left her DSLR on the coffee table in the house!!! She called the landlord and they said it's not there. I'm pre sure they lied and just kept the camera. All those memories are gone! There were like over 500 photo's taken. Robert was like 'it doesnt matter that the camera is lost, it's the photo's that are more important' And I totes agree with him on that one! But I'd still be sad about losing the camera. Too bad we couldn't go back and get it since the plane was about to lift off in like 10 minz! :S Anyways, when we arrived in Sydney there was a mini bus that dropped everyone home.
So yeah, that was my trip at Queensland! :') I wish to go back with all my friends when I'm older! ^^
