Plane! I was quite excited about the plane ride. My partners were Liwen and Chloe. I watched Step Up 2 and Fool's Gold and slept for the rest of the time. The food was quite yummy too. :)
June 4
Brisbane! I love the sky and the clouds! Plus there are many gulls there. The weather was cool but not cold enough to freeze me. ;)
Movie World was funnnnnn! I took alllllll the thrill rides except Batman Adventure and Wild West Falls so I'm pretty satisfied. Superman Escape was bestttt I took it twice. I wasted a lot of time thinking whether or not I should get souvenirs but in the end I didn't get anything. Bah I wanted either the Superman/Batman shirt but it was expensive. :(
Watermark Hotel, Room 113 (with Jia Hui and Xin Tian) Basically Jia Hui's the sleepyhead and Xin Tian's the clown. :)
June 5
St Andrew's Anglican College. The people there were all nice and friendly. I got a Koala hugging a card and it reads "您好！谢谢你来这儿玩你的乐器！That was great! Tom" Yup they do know Chinese and I think their lessons are fun fun fun. :)
Montville, Mooloolaba Beach. The view there was magnificent. Shopping! Bought gifts for my daddy mummy, a postcard, a penguin bookmark, candies and ice cream. :)
Down with fever. I was so cold I wore three layers of clothing. Plus I had a throbbing head which hurt everytime I ran/jumped/moved a lot. But it went off after some time, thankfully. :)
June 6
Masterclass/Workshop. They have many many nice instruments there, like the boomwhackers, lion's roar, rain machine etc. Fun fun fun, and I like Raider's March from Indiana Jones. The rainforest song was cool too. ;)
Redlands! I love their stands and the students, they're all very nice. I like Jupiter Hymn and Mr Button sounds cute. The BC guy (Lockham?) was veryyyyy tall, like 195cm and Xin Tian is crazy about Morgan while I'm just trying to find out the name of my new friend. She's really nice and pretty (the people there are all very pretty/handsome) The exchange was fun too, my friend performed on the piano. There was this girl who sang God Help The Outcasts from the Hunchback of Notre Dame and I think it's really meaningful. :)
The stars were pretty. It was one of the few nights with many stars so I was really in love with the sky. Wish I had a chance to lie on the grass and just gaze into the brightly lit canvas. :)
June 7
Combined concert with Redlands! "It was better than Rhythm" Had lots of fun. We took many photos and the food (pizza and dessert) looked so yummy but I had to give it a miss because I was bloated. I think their big band's cool, they played Bohemian Rhapsody and it reminded me of Rhythm XXI. Ahh memories. Made new friends and my perc friend gave me a hug after the concert and I asked for a picture with her. But I didn't get her contact!!!! Bah I was so sad in the bus back to the hotel because of that. :(
June 8
Happy birthday Kah Min!
Fruit farm! Liked the chocolate coated banana and the cute koala sprinting up the tree and the cute animals (esp the guinea pigs) and the boat ride (plus the ducks)
QWO concert, Morning Alleluias for the Winter Solstice. I like "In the Spring at the Time When Kings Go Off to War" most. The Old Museum's beautiful when it becomes dark and it gets lighted up. :)
Games in the hotel! The name calling game is most most fun, especially the teachers' names version. "Why got so many Hong and Bong" Slapjack is not fun at all because I have a super slow reaction. I am wols. I kept laughing and laughing during the games. On a random note, Tse Huen is nice and Jun Hao is so blur and funny. :P
June 9
Cards @ 5 am! Yawwwwwwwn woke up extra extra early to play cards hahaha it was so stupid but we had fun. :)
Nougat factory! I do not like shopping, so hard to decide what to get and what not to. :(
Dreamworld! So many rides, so little time. Of all the high thrill rides, I took The Claw, Cyclone, Wipeout, Vortex (which made me nauseous from all the turning) and Tower of Terror, which leaves me with FlowRider and The Giant Drop (which I badly wanted to take) Plus I wanted to tour the shops but I had no time to. :(
Queen Street Mall! It was a good shopping spot but the shops had to close so early. So I only got wombat keychains, postcards and a mug, but they're all very cute. :)
Plane back. Switched places and sat with Lionel and Si Hui. I liked the chicken pie yum yum. Ahhh the view from the plane kills me. The bright lights from the cities are just so pretty. :)
June 10
Sore throat, blocked ears and goodbyes. :(
Brisbane was fun fun fun. I miss the cool weather and nice people already. :(
