dreamworld 11 may

okays.. i am not in the best of moods now with the recent spate of events. lol 1) having had only 3 hours of sleep the previous night, because of a) wake b) unforseen conversation c) digging up stuff for ling 2) the fact that it sucks having to travel alone again, with even more uncertainties this time, and 3) having my insecurities and paranoia eating away at me again, kinda makes me glad that i'm about to finish uploading these photos and finish up blogging this phase of my life soon.

but anyway, the mood now probably coincides a little with the mood i felt on 11 may. 11 may was a rather down day for me. aside from that little out-of-the-world farm stay experience, 11 may would be kinda like the official start of the gold coast travelling, the program i planned with all my heart and put in lots of effort for with the hope that my good friends would love the gold coast just as much as i did. but well, i can understand being them, and having experienced melb and syd, gold coast really would seem like nothing. i was pretty upset when one of them complained of the scorching heat in the coast and went 'gold coast is my least favourite city!' like ouch. haha. even before anything started, the coast was condemned. lol.

perhaps what made things worse, was that everyone was pretty under the weather that day, perhaps from the late night out the previous night stargazing, as well as the cold on the farm that night. everyone just felt like nua-ing around, totally not in the mood for a theme park.

hrmm. 1) we intended to go to white water world that day, but when we got to the apartment, our apartment wasn't ready for us yet, so we couldn't settle down, so it was difficult to pack stuff for water theme park, so that was out. 2) neither tracey or lorna could join us that day like they said they would, cause of an audit that happened at work.

so yeah everyone half-heartedly went to dreamworld and took a few mild rides..and then i suggested reefdiver cause linnett told me before that it was good even tho few people went on it. BIG mistake as it turned out. both ling and irene were really really really really giddy and nauseous after that and ling's condition took a turn for the worse. she kinda had a fever after dreamworld.

hrmm ...log ride was funny cos irene and i (in one log) were like nearly dry and the other 3, in the other log, were like realllyy wet. haha. we were saying it was all wb's fault lol. and tower of terror was super fast but absolutely awesome. claw was good, surfrider was good too. revisiting childhood wise, vintage cars!!!!!! still there after 16 years (First time i went there i was 6) and finally i get to carry my own koala hahaha. i was super bummed at age 8 to not be able to carry it and i still remember it clearly till today.

dreamworld vs movie world. i thought i'd like dreamworld more..cause everyone kept saying it was really fun and there were more rides and it was like bigger (in terms of visitable theme park area) but i realized that day (un-theme parkish atmosphere amongst us 5 aside) that i honestly liked movie world better and was glad i got the endless summer pass for movie world and wet and wild, which are, in conclusion, my 2 favourite parks of em all. :)
