    **edited**

    added pictures from yao yun's camera =DDD

    *******

    i remember being so excited over my trip to gold coast when april arrived and now its already a past.. ): good times pass so quickkkk..... )):

    here is how the 5 days went. i am too lazy to blog all in one shot. sooo... it'll be in two posts la (:

    and i don't have all the pictures. these are just the ones from my phone and audrey's phone. there are still lots more in yao yun's and wei ping's camera.

    DAY 1,

    our flight was at 620am.

    ♥♥ quite a pleasant flight (:

    and finally we are in gold coast!

    breakkie from red rooster in the airport. while waiting for another 3 more people to arrive.

    had some trouble with the car rental company cause they last minute cancelled our booking and we were like searching high low from the car companies in the airport. but it was like freaking expensive weihhhh... $810 for one car and we needed two cars. cannot cannot.. too expensive and i wasn't willing to pay.

    so we settled down with the public transport. bought the unlimited 5 days pass for $75. i would say it was a good choice that we ended up with the public transport in the end.

    took a cab back to the hotel.

    andddddd i forgot to take the picture of the place!! hahaha nevermind..

    chilled in the hotel for awhile then left to surfers paradise for lunch. yao yun didn't have any sleep at all the night before so the 7 of us went out for lunch and she was in the hotel sleeping alone.

    we went for ramen! (:

    my seafood soup base.

    dear's original soup base (:

    then went walking along the beach in surfers paradise.

    picture with the girls and dear (:

    ♥♥♥

    after that headed back to the hotel. some wanted to rest and some wanted to go to the pool. me and teck wei went to our hotel pool and just chilled. yao yun woke up and went shopping at surfers paradise. its only like 5 mins away from our hotel by bus. so convenient!


    me and dear went for our dipping in the pool and the jacuzzi. the pool water was so colddddd... was in there for about an hour? then washed up for dinner but while waiting for everyone else to get ready for dinner, me and dear went to play pool at the gaming room downstairs.

    this is also stolen off the internet. haha

    it was my first attempt at pool and of course he won but i think i wasn't thaaaaat bad? at least thats what he said. haha and we lost $2 to the machine. he wanted to play time crisis so badly but the machine makan-ed our $2... ): hahaha

    finally went out for dinner almost close to 8pm.

    had it at yama sakura japanese restaurant (:

    me and teck wei shared this half salmon sushi. $24 its salmon sashimi on a piece of seaweed then rice at the bottom wrapped with salmon sashimi and avocado. damn awesome!

    and this wagyu steak set. $16

    the rest happily eating after waiting for almost 40 minutes for the table. was starving like maddd! haha

    came to about $20 per person for dinner. but it was so so nice! especially the half salmon sashimi sushi! omg yumssssssss!!

    after dinner, we walked around in surfers paradise and also walked all the way back to our hotel. i think it was a 20 minutes walk back.

    i love surfers paradise area man! it reminds me so much of those beach side shopping places you see in the movies. so so niceeeee! i could see myself staying at areas like this but its damn freaking expensive. haha i shall just dream... hehe

    went back to the hotel, straight away died on the bed. me and teck took the double sofa bed in the living room where as audrey and yao yun took the single beds in the room. straight lights out till the next morning.

    DAY 2,

    left for breakkie at about 830am. went to broadbeach for breakfast.

    my eggs benedict with avocado (: $18

    then off we hopped onto a bus to Movie World!! =DDDD

    while waiting for the bus.

    during the half an hour journey (:

    we are here!!!

    mah bestie! me love her! <3

    quite a nice shot of myself. i must say.. HAHAHAHA! =DD

    feels awesome to be there! ((:

    we started the day with by going for a 4d show. the journey to the center of the earth. it was so so only la.. 4d shows everywhere are always the same.

    my first ride was with teck wei. the scooby doo spooky coaster. was literally holding onto his hands till it was so sweaty. hahahaha but it was alright! i always have adrenaline rushes after fast rides one. i always want to go back for a second time straight after one. haha! but he don't want to go with me already... ):

    <3

    after that was just walking around the place. see things. then went for a show. the hollywood stunt driver! omg so so yeng!!!

    they did this and drifts all over the place. seriously damn yeng weih.....

    i find this to be quite a nice picture of mah dear <3

    after that i went for my second ride with yao yun. went for the batwing spaceshot.

    THIS!

    omg so fun! as usual i had the adrenaline rush again and i wanted to sit again. HAHAH! this explains why i went on the solero shot in genting three times in a row. hahaha!

    yao yun went on for another ride where as me and teck wei went for the parade.

    bought ben and jerrys while watching the parade. =DDDD damn nice man the chocolate fudge brownies!!

    the only fun part about the parade is the shuffling the characters did. which i had it on video. hahah!

    so cute especially when tweety bird did shuffling. HAHA!

    after the parade it was seriously just plain walking around and taking pictures and buying souvenirs.

    look at this cute tshirt! dear wanted to get.. but they were out of sizes.. )):

    walked the whole entire place to see see look look and take pictures!

    last picture before leaving. goodbye movie world!! =DD

    that concludes movie world. we had to wait for like two buses in order to get back cause it was like so so pack.

    went back to surfers paradise for dinner. and had the same japanese food again. HEHE cause we wanted to eat the salmon belly which was sold out the day before.

    but in the end it was also sold out!! ))): hahaha

    it is an authentic japanese place. the whole shop are run by japanese.

    this time, me and dear shared the half salmon sushi(again!) and the unagi sushi. $22 per person.

    after dinner took a bus back to the hotel and ended up talking to audrey, teck wei, and yao yun till almost 1am. hahaha so fun!

    my day 1 and day 2 was pretty much that. but it was so fun laaaaa!! i wanna go on trips again! ):

    i'll be back to blog on the other 3 days after i get back home la okay ((: currently over at teck wei's. most likely will spend my whole monday night blogging. hahaha! my shopping hauls will come after the day 3,4 & 5 post. hehe

    for now, nitey night peeps!

    much love,
    sher xoxo.

    was actually refraining myself from indulging in awesome food with Awesome price cause i am going on my easter holiday this saturday and i would feel less guilty if i am spending lesser money before i even get there. HAHA!

    but anyhow, plan failed. me, cherly, marilyn and jia shen went to st ali today. all i wanted was a soy chai and savoury muffin but they were out of savoury muffins! in the end i had this...

    magic mushrooms. a big filly omelette with a sourdough toast. omg so so full after that! and this cost me $18.50? i just wanted a less than $5 muffin. turns out more than triple of what i budgeted for.. hehe

    and as usual, my soy chai with honey. =DD

    left them about 5.15? took a tram to southern cross and then took a train and bus and came home.

    the sky at 630pm. the view from just down the corner of aunty D's house. the big empty land up ahead is the Essendon Airport.

    come back ate a plate of fried rice somemore. my goshhhhh....! i feel a bit bit hungry now already. amongst all the food i had earlier in my stomach, there is still room for a slight growling. don't know what i am made of. seriously..

    my easter break has officially started! sho sho happieeeeee! =DD

    i am thinking of crashing to bed soon. and wake up late tomorrow. and just chill at home. then prolly dinnering with them in the city or something. shall see how it goes.

    tomorrow will be the day with the last episode ever on one tree hill! its whole series finale is tomorrow. two hours. i can't wait. but yet i am sad. i don't want it to end... )': i grew up through high school until right now with this show. MY FAVOURITE EVER! die hard loyal fan. after nine seasons and twelve episodes. tomorrow will be the 13th episode. =/

    always will love it in my heart (: OTH FTW! =DDDDDD

    and us ftw too =P ♥ we were so happieeee! eventho had to wait 40 minutes for brunch at auction rooms with super empty stomachs. HAHA credits to yao yun for this shot. nice one. really :D

    and and happy birthday tang kah tim! have a blessed one! and read the facebook wall post i had for you! =D

    lots of love,
    NA.

  4. ola! =D

    i think nowadays i blog much much more on food than on any other thing. i think almost every post i have something on food? HAHA!

    today was lunch with cherly, marilyn and shu hua at manchester press (:

    since marilyn is like leaving this friday already... might as well go somewhere nice and different than the ones you get in malaysia. manchester press is a much much better choice than going to rose garden. rose garden is like hongky malaysian food.. -.-

    my chorizo and tomato relish something something bagel. but it was nice!! =D hard to cut at first but still nice ((: my well spent, very filling $13 meal.

    this was my second time there and its good still! the first time i went with mum and ordered their smoked salmon bagel. that was nice too! Manchester Press is on Rankins Lane off Little Bourke Street. parallel to Hardware Lane.

    and there was even dessert today as well. went to this new dessert place on chinatown that i've been hearing so much about. Dessert Story.

    its exactly like snowflakes! one of my favourite desserts! and nice too! just that this has more combinations (: about same price as snowflakes in malaysia but its dollar to dollar. RM6.90, here $6. HAHA!

    and this mango thingy sho sho niceeee! =DDDD now i kinda get the popularity its been getting. i somehow love mango desserts (: hehe

    was home by 7pm.

    i don't like the end of daylight savings!! the days are so short! 7pm is like pitch dark outside! and its only freaking 7pm, it feels like 9pm. don't likeeeeeee! omg.... when winter comes the days will be EVEN shorter! )))): booooo...

    but brighter note, my gold coast trip is getting nearer and nearer! this saturday!! =DDD omg i can't wait!! =DDD hehehehehe

    i shall now catch up on the new episodes of gossip girl and bones. been working on my report since i got back. time to take a two hour break. HEHE

    so love my $10 factorie babydoll dress! =D and with the belt! awesome (:

    lovesssss,
    shereena.

    i am back! =DD hahaha this is my 1,111 post! cools =P

    my weekend was pretty good (((:

    friday,

    went over to mornington with cherly, marilyn, ck and jia shen.


    as usual sure stop at sunny ridge for their desserts and scones. this time i went for their strawberry picking. the last time i did it was two years back? when cherly and ferns came to visit. haha

    but there were barely any left... ):

    yet i managed to get a box full of almost fully red ones. i sorta went into the forbidden zone of picking as well. HAHAHA! but damn sweet... took this box back for teck wei (((:

    finally after all the picking row by row and the muddy shoes, we sat down for food.

    the scones cherly and marilyn ordered.

    i ordered their vanilla pannacotta. yums! but cannot eat too much this one. will get jelak. haha

    look at ini kai kor! HAHAH! thinking about this shot also can laugh already now. haha!

    after strawberry picking, we went to arthurs seat for some view then went on down to dromana beach.

    its beautiful!! can hardly tell the where is the horizon. like seriously. this picture doesn't do that justice. haha

    and the dromana beach and pier. one of the best beaches i've been to.

    we even saw a damn huge stingray. the water was so clear that we saw the whole entire big thing swim from under the pier. niceeee!

    and then had crappy fish and chips. like the crappiest ever eaten. so not nice! st kilda's one still the best! =DD

    dinner was at shyun in carnegie. my ryukyu don. $11 yumssss! marinated salmon sashimi! =DD

    saturday,

    just stayed in lazing around. i can't even remember what i did.

    lunch was tom yum yee mee that teck wei cooked (:

    cause i pulled the "my ankle pain" move. HAHAHA! and just sat down watch tvb series together. dinner was subway.

    yesterday,

    stayed in the whole day. teck wei had his group meeting for his presentation in the afternoon and i cooked lunch.

    my fried meehoon ((:

    after that was just helping him with his presentation stuff. the day went really fast.

    today, rehearsed his presentation with him a couple more times then left to uni for classes. came home and as usual had the catching up chat with aunty D and dinnered.

    just finished talking to cousin through skype not long ago.

    and also just bought a scoopon voucher. all you can eat japanese feat for two. $27! =DDD excited!!! =DDD loong and yao yun bought it too! hehehehe can't wait to try it out!

    and now i am hungry.... HAHHAA!!

    we shall see whether i'll go to bed soon or not. since class only starts at 230pm tomorrow. hehe

    much love,
    sher xoxo.
