Australia day entry
and finally the long awaited australia day entry.
yep so on australia day, we went out with wayne and nathan to wet and wild. it was honestly a very different experience from the time we went out to wet and wild on our own. it was really fun, cos we got to switch around for rides with 2 person tubes and we sat with different ppl. we did the tornado altogether first, and that was really fun. and we did that another time after that some time later in the day and that one we went REALLY high. lol. and then after that we tried the kamikaze it was zj and my first time, and like i had a feeling that wayne and nathan were snickering at me screaming my way down.
aft tt i sat the black hole with nathan, and it was super different from the time i sat with zhujun because he was making the tube go higher at the bends and like somehow it was faster?? and all that in complete darkness. haha. i also went on the mach 5 tube thing with wayne and toward the end when we were reaching the splash he purposely pulled the back of the tube up or sth so that a huge wave of water came smashing right into my face and he was like laughing the whole way when he saw the water come at me. -.-
halfway, they decided to like go and have a leisurely float down this river where everyone has their own tube, it's basically not a ride. i tot ok that's gonna be relaxing, nothing thrilling for now. i sat on the tube..floated for a while backward..and then wayne came toward me and started pushing my tube. so i tot i was too slow and he just wanted me to go faster. little did i know he was conspiring with nathan who was behind me and so when i reached nathan he overturned my entire tube + me sitting on it. there goes my time of relaxation. wayne managed to overthrow zj as well! all by himself. pity nathan and i were hiding somewhere conspiring to do something to wayne that i didn't catch it. the rest of the ride was spent trying to overthrow each other and doing stupid things to each other. after that we went to the wave pool, and w. and nathan went very far out and i was like zomg i am not a good swimmer i have to be at some part of the pool where my feet can actually touch the ground. then the waves started, and i was at like in limbo between the my-feet-can-touch-the-ground side and the AHHH-it's-too-darn-deep side. and when the waves came i kept drinking water. and nathan and wayne were trying to teach me how to ride with the waves, and zj caught on quite easily (maybe cos she's taller lah hmph) and i was like drinking gulp after gulp of chlorinated water (+ possibly with additional traces of human excreta) and coughing the hell away and wayne said after that he thought i was going to drown lol. i myself tot i was going to drown by the way i was drinking gulp after gulp of water and not being able to breathe properly.but thankfully, i got the hang of the wave soon after that.
so we left wet and wild early, and went home to bathe. den they came to pick us up again, and we went to the train station to take the train down to southbank. at southbank we found a beautiful vantage spot along the river and when the fireworks started at 7.30 (complete with accompanying music) we were like RIGHT IN FRONT of the fireworks. it was so pretty. i sorta regret not taking the video of the entire fireworks but then again it was like 10 minutes long. yep they had really interesting fireworks too, they had ones that could float on the river. after that, we wanted to have crepes at the crepe cafe but it was closed. and like everything else on southbank was so expensive. on top of that, it was a public holiday, so everything had like 10% or 15% surcharge. and cold rock had a LONG LONG LONG queue. so we just had some mushroom chicken wrap, and after that we took the train back to helensvale and had macs soft serve ice cream!!
(update: and we played ispy too on the way back and i refused to give up whenever they asked 'give up?' haha)
it was a really fun day :)
