Yeh you got it right, it's four in the morning and I am still wide awake... Just came back from Bali slightly less than two hours ago and I did not catch a wink on my way back cuz I was watching a movie on board. Did I mention that Middle East airlines are the best?

This was before my Bali trip! Granny organized a family lunch gathering at a relatively renowned Canto restaurant to celebrate i) Mid Autumn Festival in advance, ii) granny's and grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary (if grandpa was still around, it'd be so much better...) and lastly iii) to celebrate 4 of her grandchildren's birthday in September.

4 September grandchildren, minus the youngest boy in the picture

Here's a little post before I leave for Bali~
Everybody says it is fun, so I guess it really must be really fun over there. But the next time I go Bali, I would really wanna go with my friends! I think nightlife with friends when overseas is really awesome!
Now putting this aside....

We the girls were invited to Chester's early birthday celebration at some Italian restaurant at Clark Quay. Food was really nice!

Happy birthday in advance!

Day 4, 5 and 6 in Gold Coast, Brisbane.

Day 4 was actually the most interesting day! A visit to Dreamworld! I did not see any major changes since the last time I've been there but some rides were closed because they were trying to modify it. Perhaps the only thing I did not do in Brisbane the previous time I was to attend a talk and see how Dreamworld operates as a company. As for the rides..... they're wicked! Wicked but fun! Did not sit the giant drop because the queue was mad long and since I took it before, I spent my time queuing for rides I did not sit before because I was too timid or too short for the ride when I was 10 :/

DAY 5

We visited Point Danger, which seperates 2 different states of Australia, which is Sydney and Queensland. Hmm so I was kinda like in New South Wales, Sydney for a while.. That's where my aunty and cousins stay!!! We also visited the tropical fruit farm, went to the Currumbin wildlife park and Superbee factory to see how bees produce honey

wth is my lecturer doing?!

If I am not wrong, the grey area is Sydney and the one at the bottom is Brisbane... To think that I actually sat a plane from Brisbane to Sydney the last time round.....now I could just step over and tell the whole world I actually walked there -.-
And oh, the law is really funny. If someone commits a crime in Brisbane, and runs over to Sydney, the police cannot do anything because they're in different states! HAHA

Now, tropical fruit farm...
Check out my favourite macadamia treeeeeeeee and me cracking nuts!

DAY 5

This was kinda like our last day, and we woke up at 5 a.m. to catch the sunrise at the beach. It's really beautiful over there
It was mad cold but I did not bring any pullover or whatsoever unlike my friends who did... Actually throughout this trip I thought I was rather thick skin, as in, literally, because to begin with, I'm not even afraid of the cold. But that morning, it was really freezing. Did not wear any outer coat cos I thought I would be playing with the waters -.-
