***temporary out of hibernating mode***

"Welcome Back!" I was greeted by the airport staff @ Brisbane Airport upon my arrival into Brisbane tis morning at abt 6am. well.. indeed is really welcome back to this foreign yet familiar ground where i spent most of time in for the past 3 yrs. tis is the last semester for my studies.. & is all abt my thesis. had spent abt 3 mths in Spore to research and collect data for it and nOw i am back here to finish the last bit. all i wish for is to finish this thesis in ONE piece so tat i can account for myself and everyone else who have been wishing all the best for me. few more mths and i noe is juz not far away. i will continue to work hard.. i will!

anyway, back to sending off @ Airport. my little angel, Lynnette was there with my parents, aunties and cousins to send me off. heehee... @ the new terminal, T3... Lynnette had a great time running up and down and i had a fun time chasing after her. whahahaha... she keep calling out to me "Ah Yee"... aiyooo... i so bu she de her ah... well, i asked my cousin to show Lynnette my photo every week so tat she wun forget me. hahaha... kids have short memory. hopefully few mths later, she still rem me! :D

midnite flight is as usual tiring. but i had a very entertaining flight as i watched 2 movies which i always wanna watch but din had the chance or dun wish to spend the money. 1st movie watched: Sky of Love... Jap love story.. kinda sad storyline. 2nd movie watched: Alvin and the Chipsmunks! gosh!!! damn cute ah! esp when they r singing.. heartwarming for the ending.. haha.. juz as i was getting tired and decided to nap a while onboard the plane, the light was on. aiyooo.. is time for breakfast ah! hahaha.. so bo bian lor.. nv sleep at all onboard the plane & was in time to snap a quick shot of the 1st look on 27 April....

on board the plane.. when the 1st ray of light slowly rise up... *part of the aeroplane engine and the cloudy sky*

upon arrival back to my hostel, unpacked my stuff and did some laundry and quickly nap for 2hrs before i set off to something that i had been anticipating for the past few mths. yeahz!!!! is....

Phantom of the Opera!!! gosh~!!! finally is my turn to watch it! woohoo~!!!

met up with Joyce and Felicia... while waiting for Felicia's fren, we took a photo @ the lobby...

no photographs allowed to be taken inside but we took many illegal shots.. hahaha... here i am with the backdrop of the stage during the interval.

indeed i was feeling very tired after the flight but i really tink i made a worthwhile choice. it was a great performance with very professional performers and extremely breathtaking sound and stage effect...

after the show, we set off for dinner @...

Norman Hotel for steak..

tis hotel name banner is rather interesting with the tagline written as "Brisbane's worst vegetarian restaurant".. hahaha... gimmick ah... indeed it attracted our attention. i tot it was pretty creative ah...

the gals order oysters... quote from Felicia... these oysters have very strong "oceanic" smell. hahaha.. means is very FRESH!

my order of Augus Rib Fillet with Pepper Sauce... yummy!!!

Joyce & I...
