it had been 2 weeks since i arrived in Brisbane, Australia. how time flies... tomolo sch will be starting officially and it will be a hectic time for everyone as it is the 1st week and 1st semester... dunno how the system goes and everything had to be learnt from scratch. well, at least i noe i wun be alone as i noe there r pple around me to assist me and guide me along too. heehee.. :)
before sch officially starts, of cos i muz enjoyed myself 1st. yesterday, 23 July was the most fruitful day i had ever since i arrived in Brisbane. We had a long long day of fun from morning 9am to night 10pm. In the morning, we (me, Joyce, Felicia, Tess, Philip and Cardy) went to LONE PINE KOALA SANCTUARY. it was abt an hr journey from sch to LONE PINE. we had to change 1 bus and the waiting time was abt 20mins. while waiting, we took some photos of the street of Brisbane early in the morning. haha... it was clear blue sky tat is so so pleasant.
when we reached LONE PINE, bought the entrance tickets, enter the sanctuary, gosh... it started to drizzle. is juz not our day when it start to rain. but thank god... the rain stopped after a while so we can continued journey. we went to sheep dog show before proceeding to see the animals. there were kangaroos, wombats, white wolves, tasmania devil, birds, parrots & not forgetting the most important one... KOALAS! yeahz! there were many many Koalas around... however all of them were soundly asleep under such fine weather and cool environment. diff types of Koalas are placed in different areas. there were an area which i like most... tat is the Koala Retirement Area... haha... all the koalas there r soundly asleep... heehee... there were a cuddling area where pple can hug the koala and take photo. & tat cost A$15. in the end, only Cardy took the picture. haha... the photo was nice cos the Koala was very cute (not Cardy tat is cute lor... haha) everyone's comment on the photo was tat they have father & son look.. haha.. gosh...
after the sanctuary, we took a bus to city.. another abt half an hr ride to city to have our lunch. finally after 2 weeks, i had noodles! is not pasta, is real chinese noodles. i ordered Char Siew Noodles, tinking is like our spore wanton noodles... to my surprise tis Char Siew Noodles was like grandma's fried noodles plus some big pieces of Char Siew. well, not too bad after all, at least i can eat something different from college's western food. it as costly though... abt A$9... so cannot eat out unnecessarily. haiz...
then we went to walk around Southbank and took a Citycat Ferry from starting point to end point. as we bought a concession ticket tat allow us to take unlimited bus, ferry and train rides for 1 whole day, so y not? haha... we enjoyed the scenary around Brisbane River and it was damn cold sia! after abt 1 and half a hr, we went to Botanic Garden to join the rest (Leona, Huiying, Amy, Chris, Nozomi & some IH pple) for the outdoor concert cum fireworks. we watched the concert and it was rather enjoyable with different type of music. there were music by local bands, local ochestra and local choirs. the 2 items i enjoyed most were the scottish band and The Strike from New Zealand. it was simple marvellous and cool... yeahz! the grand finale was full of impact and the ending was a series of fireworks. there were so beautiful and bright... reminds me of Spore's fireworks... haha... we went specially to watch the fireworks. so we had such enjoyable time... wowing here and there... haha...
it was a long long day... we really were all tired out... we took a city cat ferry back and by the time we r back to college, it is already abt 10pm. gosh... tat is so so late... haha... though we r tired, we had fun. cos we really did quite a lot of tings and took so many photos... wow! (stay tuned to my yahoo photo album for the photos... yeahz!)
alright... back to now... i got to start sch tomolo and prepare for a challenging and interesting studying life ahead. my aim is there and i will remind myself tat i will try my best to achieve it. yeahz!
