tamborine mountain
ok this time i actually went back and checked that i hadn't blogged about this yet before i started blogging about this.
yep so it was ANZAC day, and uncle gary and aunt suvy told us the day before that they'd be bringing us up to mt tamborine. when i woke up that morning i was like whoaa..the kitchen was like all busy with aunt suvy making preparations to bring food and all that up. like fried rice and croissants and etc etc etc. i was honestly a bit surprised, i thought that we'd be eating up there.
anw we left about noon time i think..and sent linnett to her horse haha. and then went up...went to a few lookouts, took pictures, saw people hang-gliding, that was cool, but we didn't see anyone take off from the steep hill where people usually take off from haha. hang-gliding looks tiring actually i wonder what happens if those people's arms get tired and they are in mid air and can't do anything about it.
after that we just settled down at this picnicky spot where other people were having lunch too..we saw lots of old couples with like mini-grills and hot plates and all that and we were saying that the elderly in australia really know how to enjoy their retirement, unlike asians in singapore, who don't really know what to do with life after retirement. but i can understand..there're no nice places to go, no nice scenery, no mountains, no nice beaches and national parks to go in singapore, how to enjoy?? haha. that made me determined that someday, when i grow up (lol i've already grown up but whatever) i'll be spending the later part of my life in some other country other than singapore. when i was in US, i told myself i'm gonna migrate to US next time. then i went to aust..and it became 'i'm gonna migrate to Aust next time.' i wonder if it's gonna change to 'i'm gonna migrate to europe next time' soon. haha hope it materializes one day. so we ate our croissants and fried rice and the fried rice was really hot and good to eat in the cool weather and i kept feeling like i wanted more. and we had hot coffee to drink and apples after lunch too. it was a yummy lunch.
we headed to the cedar creek wineries after that and had a look around. the inside was really pretty.. there was this cafe where people were seated under the maple trees having their meals with wine. these people are the real people that enjoy life haha. there was a pond with a fountain too. and we picked up maple leaves to press dry. mine's still nicely between the pages of my bible, i just checked. haha.
after that we went for a walk around all the rows of shops on tamborine mountain...didn't buy anything but it was interesting to just look around..aunt suvy treated us to ice cream :D i got creme brulee flavour and that was absolutely yummm and zj's macadamia nut one was good too. and so ended the day at mt tamborine...the mountain that we actually thought of walking to on the 3rd day we got to australia lol till we discovered on googlemaps that it would take us 6 hours just to get to the foot of it. we know better now.
