I'm HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm back in MALAYSIA!!!!!!!!!!! Arrived home at about 9 pm Malaysian time just now.

Slept in the plane most of the way... =)

Arrived in Malaysia, the pilot announced it was 29 degrees celsius!!!!!!! I nearly died!!!!!!! =) After so many days of the cold weather, here is shockingly hot!!!!!!!!!!!

When the plane was descending, my ears went super blocked until I was almost deaf, and it hurt terribly!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooo painful!!!!!!!!!!!! =(

Anyway, right now, I miss Australia already, and especially, Rachelle!!!!!!!!! I really miss my cousin...it was just a number of hours ago I was with her, but now no more. =( My eyes are red from crying and tiredness. I really need to sleep..

Goodnight

Philip Island, Wildlife Wonderland, A Maze'N Things, and Penguins!!!!!

So, we went to Philip Island on Thursday!

First we went to Wildlife Wonderland! It's like an animal farm.

I petted and fed kangaroos, held a wombat, and petted a koala!!!!!!!!!! Roshy and the rest were so amazed that I did all those things, I'm pretty amazed myself!!!!!! It's shocking because I'm like anti-animals. I don't like them, but I don't know what happened to me that day. =)

Anyway, then we went to A Maze n Things!!!!!!!!! Which is also like Amazing Things. =)

It's a pretty cool place. It's has all those stuff you can play with. I don't know how to describe the place but anyway, there was this maze outside.

You have to go through a maze, and go to all four flags! It made me so dizzy!!!!!!! Roshy, Mummy and I went together, Raph and Jie went together, and Daddy went alone. Uncle Jeff didn't join us.

Unfortunately, Roshy, Mummy and I could only get to 3 flags. We could touch the 4th flag, but couldn't get to it!!!!!!!! We tried so hard, turn here, turn there, turn everywhere, until it was getting dark and we had to head to the penguins.

So we didn't complete it. Raph and Jie apparently finished it, but Daddy gave up with the last flag too.

PENGUINS!!!!!!!!!! They were soooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saw so many of them but we weren't allowed to take pictures. =(

Later we went to some Cows or smth for dinner. Pretty good food.

Then to home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Philip Island

On wednesday, we were supposed to go to Philip Island. But apparently, because of me, we went the next day. I think Uncle Jeff thought that I should have one day to like recover from the previous day's experiences. I feel so bad, because Rachelle has to miss Glee. hahahaha...glee was shown on Thursday and we went to Philip Island on Thursday. =(

Anyway, we went shopping for warm stuff for me because Philip Island is supposedly super cold.

The CITY!!!!!!!!

Ok, we went to the city the next day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uncle Jeff drove us to the train station and we took the train down to the city to meet up with Flora Jie and Mathias Kor!!!!! It's been 2 years since we last saw them...great catching up with them again!

Anyway, the day was pretty good, but also not so good for me too, because, apparently, my body can't take the cold. So, when we stepped out of the train, it was pretty cold outside, and my body immediately started shaking. =(

It was pretty annoying everytime my body gets cold. Also we did quite a bit of walking, so yea. My body is sooooooo terribly "mafan..." sigh...

To make it worse, on the return trip, the train stopped at a certain point and all of us had to take the bus back, because there was some roadworks or something. So, it was FREEZING outside, and everybody had problems with the bus, because, all of them didn't seem to be the right one. Sigh..

But Thank God, I managed to make it back safely. =)

Now, the places we went in the city.

First we went to VICTORIA MARKET!!!!!!!!! It's like a pasar malam kinda of place. =) Bought several things, then we had lunch, and headed to Shrine of Remembrance, then to the Royal Botanical Gardens,(a really nice place)... then to Federation Square, University of Melbourne. Our form of transport was either our legs, or the tramps. =)

Oh and just before we headed back, we went to see some FIREBALLS!!!!!!! It was really cool!!!!! There were some pillar like things, and then a fire burning on top, and then suddenly a fireball will come out!!!! And it makes your body all nice and warm and toasty!!! =)

Ok, that's about the main stuff we did at the City...

SNOW!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I know I haven't blog for ages, but I'm going to blog for those days I missed out.

So, I went to see and touch SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't as cold on top of the mountain as I thought it would be. In fact, it was pretty hot. =) hahahaha...but then, we had a snowball fight first. So that made our bodies warm.

After that, we made a snowman! It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be!!!! =) It took us quite awhile, but with teamwork, we managed to finish it!!!!!!

And I quickly made a  real tiny one by myself. =) Will upload pics of the snowman and snow soon. =)

Then we went to Marysville, Roshy met up with some of her old school mates, and introduce a couple of thme to us, then we went to see JACQUELYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never seen her before, but I've been communicating with her quite a bit. Roshy was the one who introuduced us online. =) She's one of Roshy's best friends... =D She's really nice. =)

Then we headed to the city for dinner at Lazy Moe's. But I was carsick, so I didn't eat any dinner. Infact, my appetite that day wasn't too good, because I think I had a fever. So all I ate that whole day was, a small bowl of soup early in the morning, 2 pieces of nuggets at about 3pm, and a few chips later. That's all. =)

Marysville and Snow, here I come!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to see Marysville tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! But it's after the bushfire so it's nothing much. I really wished I could have seen Marysville before the bushfire started. =((((( It was supposedly really pretty.

Anyway, I'm also going to see Jac, Roshy's good friend....I hope...=D I've never seen her before but we've been communicating...=D

And the main thing why we went to Australia in WINTER, is we're going to see and touch SNOW tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it's going to be super cold, and I hope I don't have any problems... =(

Barbecue at the Coates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, we had the whole day free except for a barbecue dinner in the evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was supposed to be held at the Streets, but the venue was changed to the Coates instead. =D

We left the house at about 4:40? And got there at like 5? I'm not really sure but anyway we went there earlier. =D

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!! The Coates place is SOOOOOOOOOOOO nice!!!!!!!!!!!! I really like their house, very classy-ish... =D

The barbecue was good, food was good, the whole thing was pretty good! Joel, a guy, is so hilarious, I kept laughing. =)

And I found out today that he's actually the same age as me!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought he was like 17 or something. And he's only 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) hahaha...

Anyway I had fun yesterday!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eastland, and Sofia's!

Went to Eastland yesterday!!!!!!!! A big shopping mall place!!!!!!!!!! Bought a couple of stuff at Smiggle's...they sell stationary, and really cool stationary!!!!!!!!! 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...=)

It was a long journey to Eastland and back...=)
