One Week In Gold Coast - Australia 2009 (Part 2)

16 June 2009

Uncle Ong & Auntie Libbie bring us to Mount Tamborine. All the way up to the highest top of the hill. Along the way you can see many trees around, cottage houses and etc..
It looks as if we are at New Zealand rather than Australia.. Countryside of Australia..
Really a nice and relaxing place to go with all the natures around.
We went to Thunderbird Park where we were allowed to dig the thunderbird egg which looks like a rock.. But end up me and my sister didn't dig it we just have a look.. hehe..
If you are lucky you can dig some crystal inside....
We had our lovely lunch at the cafe too..
After that we went to Jupiters Casino..
Guess what it was the 1st time in my life i entered casino.. I thought i must wait until i reach 21 years old. Luckily in Australia, after you reached 18 years old, you can go in casino... wuhoo..
I even took some pictures (actually you are not allow to do so).. hehe.
They even check my sister and my identity card before they allowed us to go in.. damm funny.. even my sister.. they thought that we are still young. (that is good)..
Good experience right?? hehe..

At night we went to uncle's hotel for dinner at the Turtle Sands Paradise...Top View from our apartment

The 2nd world that we are going to after Movie World... What we can see there??? Of cause all the sea creatures like dolphin, sharks, seagull, fishes and etc.. We do went for a few shows like Dolphin show, the sea lion show, water jet ski show and even the sesame street show...
My sister and I played the Jet Rescue ride.. it was like wow.... it was a fast ride... something like roller coaster..

Meeting the big gigantic sharks, and other weird fishes .. even the huge polar bear living alone...Welcome to Sea WorldSesame Street showTop view from the monorailStar fish.. i touched that beforeDolphin show. can you see the dolphin??

Late evening, uncle drives us around surfers paradise for night view.. It was damm cold and windy that night. We went to a place called Minus 5 Ice Lounge. It is a famous so called ice bar..
Everything inside the lounge is made by ice.. The table, chair, the whole thing is made by ice...
It was the 1st time all of us went in to this place. Inside it was only -5 degree... Imagine how cold is it to stay inside.. When we came out, our hands were purple in colour.. too cold..
Quite an intresting place to go.. hehe..

Next we had our lovely dinner at Hog's Breath- with steak, and other western food..Night view at surfers paradiseMinus 5 Ice Lounge that i mentionInside view of the loungeWelcome to Hogs Breath Cafe...

Today was the day for us to relax at our apartment and do some shopping around our place (coolongatta) where uncle used to call collongatai... haha...
On the afternoon, uncle came to our apartment and so we planned to go down to the gold coast beach.. Since we are at gold coast, the place famous with its beach, so we must somehow get ourself into the beach once eventhough it was so windy and cold..
Uncle dares me and my sister to go into the beach which was 20.7 degree cold..
No one was in the beach swimming or playing at that time.. but there were 3 crazy people which was me, my sister and uncle Ong playing and swimming at the beach..
It was so cold once you get up from the water.. it was too windy.. and we have to walk back to our apartment with our towel (10 mins walk)... crazy man...
After that we directly went to the top floor of my our apartment for spa... the water was so warm and nice....

At night we had Itallian dinner at Fisherman's Cove.. the food was nice.. yum yum..Lonely seagull ...can you read the board..??? 20.5 degree...we are freezing... just came out from the water

Packed all our stuff and clean up everthing before we check out from the apartment..
Next destination before we flew back to Penang at night is to Brisbane town. About 2 hours drive from our place to Brisbane town. Most of the building at Brisbane town are all high rise tower.. Somehow it looks like new york city to me..
We had our lunch there and we met Auntie Libbie aunty & uncle.. The last time we met them was like 9 years ago..
Then we went to Aunty Libbie another relatives house which was nearby Brisbane town. I met a wonderful lady there, Catherine.. She might coming over to Penang next year.. hehe
Overall this holiday trip was awesome..
We really so lucky and glad that Uncle Ong & Auntie Libbie came down and join us..

Thank you sososo much.. Miss ya and hope to see you all soon next year.. :)Brisbane Town
