Boat House in Apollo Bay

Came back from the Great Ocean Road and Apollo Bay on Friday evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong journey to and fro... =(

So we were supposed to leave the house at 6 in the morning on Thursday. But we were 20 mins late. =) It was a four hour drive to Geelong, and we had breakfast there.

After that we continued our journey to Apollo Bay, where we stayed in a nice boathouse!!!!!!!!!!! =) It's so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The living room and kitchen is upstairs while the bedrooms and toilet are downstairs. =)

We only stayed for one night so there wasn't time to explore the grounds. =(

Oh, and we had a FIRE!!!!!! I mean there was this fire thingy, I don't think it's a fireplace, it's some stove thingy that you can build a fire in I think. =) It was so funny because everytime we tried to build one, later it will die down. =) So we ended up using the heater instead. =)

After we checked in the afternoon, we went to have lunch near-by, and later head for Treetop Hill Walk or something like that. We had a walk on top of the trees. =D

Then after that to see the 12 Apostles!!!!!!!!! But it was so dark by the time we got there, we could only see shapes... =(((((((((((( That was one sad thing.... =((((((((

Anyway later went back to Apollo Bay to have dinner, then to the Boat house!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

I slept with an ELECTRIC BLANKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaa...it was cool, although I was a bit afraid it will blow up or something. =) But I was super cold that I prefered to sleep with it rather than freeze.

Next day~

Rise and shine early!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was sooooooooo hard to get up!!!!!!!!!!!!! But we had to check out early, we had lunch at Geelong again. But all the way back there I was sick. The roads were so windy, I felt so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why I didn't have any problems on the way there, instead I had problems on the way back. =(  By the time we reached Geelong, I didn't even want to eat...and we were supposed to go to an all you can eat place again!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told Roshy, my cousin, that she can eat my share... =D

But apparently the all you can eat place close down and it's now a nightclub. =D
So we went to Hungry Jaçk's instead!!!!!! It's like a Burger King in Malaysia. =) And guess what, I got back my appetite by the time we reached at Hungry Jaçk's!!!!!!!!!!! =) But I couldn't eat  much though.

Finally, heading home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We watched 2012 and Music and Lyrics on the way back. It was good...=D

Then we stopped at Safeway, a supermarket, to buy our dinner things. =D

Came back and Uncle Jeff started dinner. =D
It was good to be home!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have one place all yellow stuff, another all purple, then green, then blue, pink, black, etc...=D And they have unique stuff in there...=D

Later we went to Sofia's for dinner. Another all you can eat pizza and pasta family restaurant. Only thing is, they will serve you instead of you helping yourself...=)

I bought a ball of yarn at Big W's...=D

Anyway, after that, we went to SPOTLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a craft shop, and it's an AWESOME PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were having a sale, and the yarns were SUPER SUPER CHEAP!!!!!!!

They were all 50% off!!!!!!!!!!! The cotton yarns are soooooooooo cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like 1/3 of the price in Malaysia and there are many more cool colors...=)

The cloths there are pretty but quite expensive still. =( I bought some though...=)

I spent two hours in that shop, and the rest were all getting bored...hahahaaa...I could stay in there for ages!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even see everything I wanted to see... =( There wasn't any time...=(((
Anyway, we went to Don Louise for dinner. It's an all you can eat pasta and pizza restaurant!!!! The food there is YUMMYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cold, Shaking Experience

On Sunday evening, at church, I had a terrible experience.

I was feeling SUPER SUPER SUPER COLDDDDDDDDD. And I had this nauseous feeling. I decided to go to the bathroom. Came out later, chilled even more because the bathroom was freezingly cold. =)

My legs started shaking, I couldn't walk properly. Suddenly I felt like I couldn't feel my legs. My whole body was shaking, all the way home.

I was too cold. That was the reason why I felt like puking. Mummy said that my stomach was too cold. =( Anyway she said it was also my fault that I didn't take care of my body... =D

Anyway I'm ok already. Thank you God for healing me and for teaching me a lesson!!!!!!!

CIty Life Church, Cuckoo's~~

Went to City Life Church, the Loh's old church that they used to go to, but it's 2 hours from where they are staying, and it's super far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol...

After that we headed to Cuckoo's a buffet place, a place on a mountain and it's super cold up there!!!!!!!! =D The food was great!!!!!!! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, hahaha...forgot all about taking any. =D The desserts were AWESOMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had 2 mousses, few slices of cakes, plenty of strawberries, and so on...

They had a show thingy later, and it was so funny!!!!!!!!!! Especially when Uncle Jeff got chosen again!!!!!!! Roshy says that everytime he goes there he will always be picked to yoddle!!!!!!!!!!! =D It's so funny...he's getting really tired with it...he tried to hide but to no avail..=D

Anyway, it was a fun experience, but coming back to a SUPER COLD HOUSE wasn't nice at all because they didn't switch on the heater...=D

AUSTRALIA~~Freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plane ride was TERRIBLE...at first when it was going up in the air, there was a bit of pressure in my ears but it wasn't that bad...=)

Anyway, after like 1 hour on the plane, we decided to buy the e-players...we got one each, but it wasn't that nice because it was a bit boring...it didn't have much on it...=) I got bored with the movies because it was boring and it wasn't nice at all...so I ended up listening to songs instead...=) For so many hours!!!! hahaha...

OH and the toilets on the plane are sooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!! But it's pretty narrow...hahaha...everything is so compact and cute..=)

Plane arrived on time, 9:30 pm Malaysian time, but 11:30pm Australian time. So it was actually very late for my cousins and Uncle especially because my Uncle had to teach the next day...=)

Thank God we didn't have any problems with the Customs and our booking and stuff like that. =)

When we landed, it was announced on the plane that the temperature outside was 7 degrees celsius! Later on the way to my cousins'place, (it's two hours from the airport) the temperature went down all the way to 2 DEGREES CELSIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was freezing!!!!!!!!! I managed to take a nap in the car but it was quite a long journey..

By the time we went to sleep was like maybe 4:30 or 5 am in Australian time???? Because we had a bit to eat first...it was funny..=)

Woke up at 7 something in the morning in Malaysian time which was 9 something in the morning in Australian time...and my cousin told me it was too early...and that I was a crazy kid...=D But I couldn't help it! I wasn't sleepy anymore, and the funny thing is I'm usually the one who CAN'T GET UP...=D That's really funny...

But I didn't wanna go out just in case Mary the dog came in to the room, so I was stuck in Roshy's room looking for something to do. I wanted my BIBLE but I thought it was in the other bag outside. So I decided to read a book. LEFT BEHIND KIDS SERIES!!!!!!!! But I got so confused as to where each book stops in that one big book so I put it down and later I decided to check the bag pack in our room and I actually found my BIBLE!!!!! So I did devotion and after that both Roshy and Jie were awake but they still wanted to sleep. Then Roshy got a phone call and that was the end of her sleep...=D

Anyway later I got really cold so I snuggled back into bed but we didn't sleep...by the time we really GOT OUT OF BED it was already 12 something in Australian time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

Btw, it was so cold that I slept with a long-sleeved top, a jacket with a hood, thick pants, socks, and gloves...and Roshy was like giving us a look that said, "YOU'RE CRAZY!!!!!!!!" =D

Anyway I'm right now sitting on the couch next to Roshy, using the internet, and full from a very good dinner that had Roshy's mash potatoes and Raph's sausages!!!!!!!!!!! It was yummy!!!!!! =D

zzzzzzz
Charissa

p.s. We walked to Roshy's school today...=D It was cool!!!!

AUSTRALIA here I come!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving for AUSSIE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! Sooooooooooo fast!!!!!!!!! When we booked our tickets last year, it seemed forever...and it's just tomorrow...just imagine that...TOMORROW!!!!! And I'll be flying out of Malaysia for my very first time!!!!!!!!!!! =D hahahaa...

Been finishing up on my packing just now...except for those that can only be packed tomorrow...=)

It's kinda of scary. I've been worrying on too many things actually. Like, will I feel sick on the plane, will my ears hurt, will this get confiscated at the customs, will I feel too cold, will I get hives, will I get this and that... lol...I can't help it...my mind just doesn't want to stop worrying..

Oh and mummy too...she's been SUPER STRESSED lately...and she's sick too...I'm still sick too unfortunately...sigh...

Anyway, pray that we will have a safe journey to and fro, and that we won't have any trouble at the airport and customs, and that our bodies will be able to adjust to all the different changes quickly without any problems...

Most of all, ENJOY!!!!!!!!
