**the gold coast trip**
the basics
  • 7 people - 嘉樂, cat, jedi, taurus, thomas, wynne, me
  • 3 days & 2 nights (everyone else stayed for 5)
  • sea world, dreamworld, movieworld, surfers paradise
the accommodation
  • the moroccan- a 4 star luxury hotel with 2 rooms, an ensuite, a massive lounge, kitchen, laundry (including washing machine & dryer), and complete with utensils and kitchen appliances.. (even i don't have a coffee plunger!! ><")
  • pool, spa and sauna facilities
  • an AMAZING view of the beach from our balcony .. it was seriously only 1 minute by foot
  • heaps of shops, restaurants and cafes within shopping complexes were a mere 10-15 minute walk
the rides
  • bermuda triangle @ seaworld - going backwards, getting blasted with a furnace, and rushing straight out and down to drench the guys sitting in the front row. i was.. very much dry.. ehehe
  • rocky hollow log ride @ dreamworld - screaming on the way done and screaming non-stop thereafter because i was THAT FRIGGIN DRENCHED =DDD
  • thunder river rapids ride @ dreamworld - thomas filming our expressions in the dark .. a la blair witch project >< .. and consistent vain attempts at photography while the thing was in motion AHAHA ..
  • eureka mine ride @ dreamworld .. there was this sign reading 'lighter person should sit on the left' .. DAMN! ><" .. i kept squishing cat =.="
  • giant drop @ dreamworld - breathtaking view of forests and all the way back to the surfers shoreline.. sat next to an amazing 9yo kid who excitedly informed me that it was the "best ride" and that he'd been on it 4 times that day.. guy on my other side laughed at my screaming on the way down ^^"
  • tower of terror @ dreamworld - in hysterics all the way =DDDD.. amazing acceleration at 180km/h.. you just zoom straight up then straight back down.. little girl sitting next to me told me i was "scary" when it was over .. ^^"
  • scooby-doo spooky coaster @ movieworld - totally unexpected swift backward drop followed by endless turns and twists back down .. in the dark. a great deal of screaming XDDD
  • shrek 4D adventure @ movieworld - very cool dungeon (gingerbread man - "every man for himself!!"), and very cool effects: squirts of water, puffs of wind (simulations of spiders on the floor), and a whole lot of motion.. especially riding in the onion carriage
  • superman escape @ movieworld - very damn fast dips, spins and turns (accelerating to 1ookm/h in 2 seconds) .. guy sitting next to me asked if i was okay at the end of it.. (i think i was hysterical)
  • lethal weapon 4 @ movieworld - insane g-forces and very loud screaming the whole way through. 玩完之後我係不停係到狂笑.. ^^" everyone was VERY light-headed afterwards =DDDDDD
the attractions
  • planet sos @ seaworld - cute polar bears, turtles and monkeys. person's head in front of me just blocked the scary cobra thank GOD
  • sky high skyway @ seaworld - amazing views of.. murky pools =(
  • tiger island @ dreamworld - one of them just seriously DID NOT GIVE A SHIT and kept doing what he was meant to do half-assedly... 勁串!! =DD
  • dreamworld railway - real steamtrain !! using real steam !!
  • australian wildlife experience @ dreamworld - kangaroos didn't like us =( and koala kept scratching cat =(
  • police academy stunt show @ movieworld - jaw-droppingly WOW. 超正&勁爆笑!! and it rained only when we were watching it and under cover!! .. soOo luckyyy
the highlights
  • amazing views from the plane - at 7am from syd, and 9pm at syd
  • the guys running between soccer and the boarding gate at 5:30am on sunday
  • 嘉樂 and thomas getting all of us lost on the first day
  • beachside all-you-can-eat breakfast on the first day (we got fish fillets!)
  • sleeping on each and every leg of the trip on the first day
  • 玩非洲話事埤until 3am.. i wanted to keep going dammitttttttt >< !!
  • jedi's endless hilariously blunt one-liners, seriousness, old school poses
  • waking up jedi with multiple replays of aggy's keroro ringtone
  • thomas making cat cry while trying to wake her up
  • dinner at 10smth and breakfast at noon
  • oohing, aahing and 哇-ing over all the rides
  • cold rock, gloria jeans and starbucks
  • jedi and taurus getting drunk on vodka cruisers..
  • running to catch the bus, and later almost missing my stop at the airport for the flight back (while secretly hoping i do...), then panicking again when i couldn't find the jetstar terminal
the WTFs
  • realising that every other asian there spoke japanese =DDD
  • coles closing at 6pm on weekends and 9pm on weekdays
  • shops closing LATER THAN THE SUPERMARKET
  • waitress at korean restaurant (2nd night) spoke better mandarin than all of us
  • missing out on batman adventure 2 @ movie world =(
  • staying at surfers and not ending up on the beach. not that it's warm enough to swim but STILL! >< !!!!!!!!!
and that's all i remember off the top of my head.. you see why 3 days (or 5, for that matter) is NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH!! .. eagerly awaiting the rest of the photos and watching thomas' video upon their return ^^
