HEYA PEOPLE!!!

Am in the midst of packing to go home!! Am kinda partial to leaving actually, cause I am so used to being surrounded by friends here that are practically there ALL the time. Am so used to being able to get people out by just a simple phone call, or an sms. I miss my "grandchildren" ALREADY LAH!!!!! T.T

Guess it's all gonna change when I am back in SG cause...Well...Everyone will be busy with their own stuff, some serving the ARMY, some busy studying, some...working maybe? I don't know!

OK! GOLD COAST TRIP!!!

Highlights:

Day 1:

Arrived at Gold Coast, and waited for Samantha so that we can check in and leave our stuff at their place first cause Kin Fatt's gonna be late. Went for lunch, FISH AND CHIPS, which was cheap and really good! But I kinda still like the one in St.Lucia better.

Heh...ANYWAYS, spent the rest of the day in Surfers and the beach. Played Volleyball and Dodgeball, built "sandcastles" only to be demolished by Kit, Joe and Yang Hao! Buried Ping Chiuan and gave him boobs, abs and yea...a dick. XD

Went back to the girl's hotel, got our stuff and headed to our hotel. IT's AWESOME I tell ya! Anyway...Showered, and got ready for DINNER!

Heh heh, was at the Korean BBQ place we went the other time as well, dinner was AWESOME as usual...AND...O-M-G, was totally taken back when Joe, Kit and Kin Fatt appeared with a cake ALL THE WAY FROM Brisbane city, kudos to David (aka pillow), and roses from Joe! Thanks guys, you people made my 18th the best EVER! OH YEA, and they got drinks as well, like ICE WINE (my fav, kudos to Joe, Kin Fatt and Kit for getting it! ^^), vodka and Jim Beam. Thanks for remembering what kind of cake I like as well!! Thanks for the dinner treat!!

Went back to the girls' place to play cards and celebrate...I think some of us were half drunk already by the time we left (me, Joe, Ping Chuian and Wei Fang). Continued playing cards and drank Ice Wine back at our hotel room. ^^ Who ever lost has to do the amount of push ups that represented the amount of cards they lost by. Haha!

*I think I am hooked on Jim Beam!*

Day 2:

Woke up early and went "swimming" with the guys. The pool has a water-current-creating-thingy and it caught me a few times by surprise. Spent most of the time in the hot tub though... Guys taught Kit to swim! ^^ Headed back to the hotel room to get ready for lunch with the girls.

Went for lunch at a random Jap place. Food was good though! ^^ Then some of the girls headed off to do manicures, while the rest of us went off for more shopping and bowling! Bloody Hell...These people CAN bowl LAH!! Strikes here, there and everywhere, triple strike by Joe. 0.o" Me and my big mouth was like "If you triple strike, I treat you to dinner." and he did! Wtheck...
Went to Hazel Tea Shop to get bubble tea again!!! Can't really remember the rest of the details. I think we had dinner at Macs and this group of Year 12 Aussie guys that were there for Schoolies sat down and started talking to us randomly...0.o"

Guys left for Infinity, girls watched a movie on the hugeass tv right smack in the middle of Surfers, and I left for the hotel cause I was feeling tired...

Day 3:

We WENT FISHING!!!! Kudos to PC and Samantha for booking and planning it! Everyone was all right at first, but pretty much most of the girls (exception of Samantha and I) got seasick cause they ain't used to it. Joe and Hao felt a little queasy as well.

OH! They saw DOLPHINS!!! And I saw freaking jellyfishes...-.-"

Went back early cause we didn't get any fish and cause most of us were feeling sick. Went...you guessed it...SHOPPING again! Ok, maybe it was just me, cause the Hao, Joe and PC went to Timezone to "game" but didn't play any...and I was hunting for gifts to bring home.
Went bowling AGAIN and Joe got triple strike AGAIN! Wtheck...And it was at the end of the 2 games (fell off the freaking chair! -.-") and thus I owed him a pair of shoes...(Which in the end, I didn't pay for...XD).

Samantha and Stella went for their haircut...And then we went to wait with the girls at their hotel after collecting our bags from ours. Left them there and went o Harbourtown with Joe for even MORE shopping. Bloody hell...My budget literally exploded and crossed $300 the 3 days I was there...0.o".

Bought jeans for my bro, and got something else. Shopped around quite abit and then headed to the train station to head back to the city for dinner with Tazis at Citywok!

Okay, that's the end of the GC thingy....

Am tired...It took me quite a few hours for this post!

Yep, so after the Gold Coast trip, next event queued was the Mooncake Festival Celebration!!! ^^

Too many photos (79 to be exact) to post one by one, so I will be using the trusty RockYou slideshow feature instead, just like I used it for the Gold Coast photos.

So, I spent the night back from Gold Coast making the lotus seed paste, till about 5am. In the end, I didn't use it cause...The red bean paste was far more superior. Hahas...Woke up at 9 and prepared to go to Joe's place. Got there, went to Coles to buy some stuff that I would need then headed to his house.

Started on the mooncake skin once I got there, but I think I made a mistake when copying down the recipe cause the skin was WAAAY too dry, it was like I was making moonBISCUITS instead of moonCAKES. Went to have like lunch till like 2+, got back and continued on the skin, got Joe to help out...blah blah blah, FAST FORWARD-ing...
Kin Fatt and Co, came at about 5+ and moved all the barbecue items to Kit's place where we were holding the BBQ. At that time, most of the mooncakes were cooking, left with a few, quickly made them, and then I went to buy the drinking stuff. Met Joe at the bus stop and quickly left for South Bank...

Once we got there, I started...CAM WHORING with other people. Heh heh heh...Was fun and everything, then towards the end, after Kit took out Irene's Birthday Cake as a surprise celebration, I think that the lack of sleep for 2 nights and lack of water that day got to me, and in the words of Ping Chiuan "Ah Ma, Game Over liao." had a freaking headache from then onwards. Jess and Vanessa took out their sparklers and I am basically fine as long as you don't wave them in my face cause I was a little dizzy as well. Jess was like "Hey, I suddenly feel like singing CNY songs!" and I was like "If you sing CNY songs, I will immediately 'fan lian'!!!" cause of the headache.

Kin Fatt came back to get me after he sent Singking off, so I left with him and Ping Chiuan to go to the city. Got home and fell asleep immediately. Phew...Thank goodness for the 2 of them, otherwise, I would prolly fall asleep or faint, whichever first, at Kit's place. XD

Yea, that's pretty much it about the "lowlights" of Mooncake Fest. Was fun, food was awesome, loved the surprise lamb chops that Kit provided(THANKS KIT!!), glad that people at least had the mooncake (Jairal stole and ate one by himself!). ^^

School's starting tomorrow!!!!!! Arrgh...Bio test...study study study again. Thanks Halif for all the moral support you gave, even though you might not know how much some of your words helped. ^^...I love my EVIL TWIN!!! (In the brother-sisterly way). And thanks Yan Hao, for letting me rant to, and STOP LOGGING all the MSN conversations!!!!!! Hahas...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Was out pooling with Kit and Yang Hao just now (before 12 midnight). Joe came and joined us cause I told him I had to return him his umbrella. Asked them all a questions which is "一個愛你的人和一個你愛的人, 你會選擇哪個?" (Yea, it's in traditional Chinese, but if I can read that, most of you should be able to cause my Chinese sucks!) or translated to English "Between a person that loves you, and a person that you love, who will you choose?" Don't think so much about it like whether the person that loves you is the type you like or pretty or taller than you or anything, just answer it.

All three guys weren't able to give me an answer, and this is the norm with guys. Most girls will choose the person that loves them, but for me, I would choose to go after the person that I love, even if he might not like me, I can still try! So, whats your answer? Share it with me!!!!!
