    exciting/adventurous weekend

    last weekend was fun!
     
    saturday 14th Apr 07-
    kayaking along brisbane river.. 1.5hrs.. all the way to goodwill bridge.. tiring man.. but very fun! =P
    after that was abseiling!
    woah.. damn scary..
    didnt look scary @ all.. wasnt scared at all till i went over the edge..
    didnt dare let go of the rope n relax..
    i slammed into the wall once.. cos my feet werent spread far apart enough.. ouch..
    but once i got the hang of it.. and though my heart was beating damn fast,
    i managed to summon up the courage to look around me and down even!
    i think i wanna try it again! hehe...
     
    sunday 15th Apr 07-
    road trip~~
    to byron bay and nimbin..
    was so fun!
    we (berd+faye+stephy+weimei+me) rented a car..
    drove to byron bay..
    almost got lost tho.. lucky we asked for directions..
    stopped quite abit along the way..
    1st to the pie shop, then to byron bay beach, then to the light house,
    and then lunch seafood platter pick-up and finally to the "quaint" little town of nimbin!
    cool place..
    very hippie..
    and very i mean very "open"
    practically everyone was on weed..
    and it was sold quite openly without a care in the world..
    lovely roadside band music and sunday markets too..
    so we got some "happy biscuits" but i haven tried them yet..
    anyways,
    we left the lil town @ about 5plus n got to logan dimsum @ the manor for dinner!
    yummy!

    1- the traffic is the BEST! like in the movies where the cars zoom in n out in beween cars n lanes..
    2- u can drive a manual car while talking on the phone, eating and smoking.
    3- the lines on the roads r for decoration
    4- the girls in indonesia are born n bred to become taitais
    5- u can have a maid for S$50 a month
    6- sayang dimana? aku mau cium kamu!!

    July 02

    the holidays..

    so today's the 2nd of July
    gosh.. how time flies..
    n ive got no freaking idea what ive been doing la!
    hai..
    anyways,
    we did rent our car!
     
    28th June Wed..
    collected the car @ about 4pm then drove around aimlessly (ok lah.. not aimlessly.. we had lovely Elisa the map reader.. shes FANTASTIC!)  n ended up @ sunnybanks to do some chinese food groceries.. =D then went to milton Freestyle for some dessert before heading back.
    wow! the feeling of freedom is SUPERB!
    so happy n free!
    only got bak to IH @ about 10plus pm.
    and had to leave @ 12pm to meet the guys for our road trip to Byron Bay.
    but first, we had some time to kill so we had supper @ Pancake manors.. (oh.. i forgot to mention that we had our late dinner @ 11plus.. gosh! i ate so much that night!)
     
    29th June Thurs
    reached byron bay lighthouse @ 4plus am in the morning..
    it was soo cold! imagine.. winter+cold wind from the sea? not good not good..
    the drive there was alright.. lucky i had phyllis awake keeping me company thruout.. the 3 girls @ the back? they were knocked out man!
    the sunrise was fantastic! so beautiful!
    n we managed to see some dolphins n humpback whales out in the ocean! wow!
    truly amazing! =D
    after that we drove to Harbour town to do some shopping.
    by the time we got there, i was so tired..i felt i could sleep standing up!
    gosh.. i didnt actually feel like buying anything or had anything to buy..
    but there were lots of sales!
    got 2 tops for AUD$15
    and a FOSSIL watch for only AUD$50!!
    what a steal!
    heh =D
    then we had a late lunch n drove back to ACE rentals @ Albion to return the car..
    total i spent AUD$105 on the car rental+insurance+petrol.. but isnt alot coz its shared among the 5 of us in the car which brings us to only AUD$21 per person! +D
    so after we returned the car
    went back to IH
    it was about 5plus when we got back..
    couldnt sleep immediately though i was like dead tired.. from not sleeping the whole night before.. so i watched abit of prison break before falling asleep
     
    30th Friday
    went for a BBQ lunch @ Stephanie's place in West End.
    with Noel, Cindy, John, Sandra, Sulin then Liwei n Weiyang joined us later..
    it was so nice! Good weather.. the sun was shining n it wasnt too cold..
    BBQ by the lake. with great food n company.. awesome i must say! =D
    there was like chicken, sausages, taiwan sausages, steak, red n green peppers, onions, mushrooms etc.. not to mention, stingray! Super Fantastic man!
    we had great fun just eating n chilling.. and some daidee! dah best afternoon man! =D
    in the evening
    i went with Phyllis, Elisa n Angeline to this event organised by the Youth Group of BCC. it was this boat cruise thingie along the brisbane river..
    great night view of the city skyline! =D there was food n music!
    awesome friday!
    =D
     
    1st July Saturday
    hmm.. slacked most of the day away..
    waking up late..
    doing my laundry and watching prison break!
    gosh! Michael Scofield is soooo handsome! *drools*
    +P
    then went out in the evening dinner @ Cybercity.. had "nu rou hor fun!" yum!
    n then Superman Returns.. the movie!
    gosh!.. i Love that show!
    to me, the show had meanings on so many different levels.. theres the romantic side, the good n evil story, the Superman the Saviour that comes to save the world.. i dont noe if anyone else thot so.. but i thot so.. =D its a good show!
    go catch it!
     
    2nd July Sunday..
    slacking day again!
    only went to church in the evening for mass @6pm
    then stayed for the Young Adults gathering after that.
    it was fun!
    there was pizza n drinks..
