Sea World, Gold Coast, Australia

Date: 14 March 2011

Yeahhh!! A theme park PLUS education on animals! Have fun and learn at the same time...!! >> This is what I would write if I care much about learning while on holidays. What I really feel... WOW... rides!! and cute animals!!! That's about it...

Since I am currently listed on the "special people" list, I was not allowed to join my friends on most of the rides. A bit crap but.. at least I get to see the cute animals... =p

Hasben at the entrance!

We were welcomed by a pirate stunt show near the food court.

Since our arrival, we did not have much to eat. We were super starving and could not concentrate on the park.

First thing's first: LUNCH!! - Seafood and Fish & Chips!! No plastic bags at all... a very environmental friendly park!

With energized spirits, we planned our day... Zera leading the trip!

First was a visit to Penguin Encounters - they are just adorable!

Our next destination was far across the park. We chose to ride the cable car for a sceanic view of Sea World.

On the cable car - Sky High Skyway - The orange tracks on the background is Sea Viper Rollercoaster, the scariest ride in the park!

Everyone but me on the Viking's Revenge Flume Ride - I can hear them scream from a far!

The educational animal visits! - Polar Bear Shores, The Dolphin Show, Penguins, Ray Reef, Starfish, and Shark Bay!

The only animal show we were able to watch was the dolphin show... They are very smart creatures! And lovable too!

Us!

Jet Rescue ride - very fast and furious... so they say...

The girls were sick from Jet Rescue so we let the boys try the Sea Viper Rollercoaster... It's far too creapy!

Hasben and Nabil hanging on tight!!

Me shooting water at people on the ship at Castaway Bay! This was a fun game but we were soaking wet!

Posing in front of Sesame Street before calling it a day.

Our last ride... it is suppose to be for kids... but I don't think kids can have the strength to pull so high!

With the park closing at 5pm, we made our way back to the exit with a few more picture taking. We had to take the 705 bus to Surfers Paradise.

I love how they care for the environment! Last advice before leaving the park for good.
Bye2 Sea World!!

Hello Second Baby!

Kimi will be 3 soon and guess what, he is also a newly-appointed big brother! This time around, Prince Court is not in the picture - being full-time students, we can only afford to attend Toowoomba Base Hospital, a government hospital so this will be a whole new experience for me, not to mention being in a whole different country! A little park in front of the hospital: I had my monthly checkup at USQ clinic with Dr. Kay Brumpton, who is amazing by the way. And towards my second trimester, I had monthly visits to the hospital to see the midwives. This is the waiting area at the Antenatal Clinic: And that's Kimi climbing over the door of the play gym. Adventurous...! Being Asian, and smallish (even for an asian), my baby was measuring a bit small than the average Aussie. The doctor was a bit concerned and had me do 3 ultrasounds. Back in Malaysia, ultrasounds were performed during every single monthly check-up, but here, they feel that 1 is good enough, unless

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne Weekend Getaway! Date: 13 May 2011 It is not often you hear someone say, "I'm going to Australia just for the weekend". However, it actually happened to me, not intentionally, but accidentally... I booked my flight ticket (in August 2010 for the lowest fare possible!!) without double checking and ended up with only 2 full days to spend in Melbourne. To make the best of it, I pre-booked full day tours for both days... which left out any opportunity for Melbourne city sight-seeing - how sad! From LCCT, KLIA to Melbourne Airport, it took about 8 hours flight - which I can't sleep for most part of it!! - and the time difference is plus 2 hours from Malaysia. Date: 14 May 2011 Upon arrival...   Hi Mr Sean/Chin! We were greated by Ms Candy who showed us to our maxi taxi. The driver was Mr Sean/Chin (didn't quite get his name) who was from Cancun, China. He was friendly and energetic. He dropped us of at Punthill - The Stanton at St Kild
