I just want to say, the person who wrote this blog, the Christine Kuan I used to be is not the Christine Kuan I am anymore.

The things I used to idolize, the words I used to say, the mean-ness and insensitivity, the maturity level that was just embarrassing.

This is my past. I've moved on from that because someone has promised me a much greater happiness than all this world, all the stuff I used to love, can give.

I actually stopped this blog 3 years ago.

GOD LOVES ME

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Bla dont think im a retard for posting this online but they told me before that by sharing, i can spread the God too. Maybe i can touch some people's lives just like Priscilla's testimony touched me.

This is a message I sent to some people.

hiiiii i'm sorry to bother you but i really feel like telling you this wonderful thing that god has given me...
no i did not receive any of those gifts of the holy spirit or something like that, what i got,to me, was even better. it was freedom.

you see, i was suffering from this mild case of obsessive compulsive disorder in which i fear dirt, dust, germs etc. and i didn't really realize it before but this fear was really keeping me away from god. not only did i stay away from things that i thought were dirty but i could not touch my own grandmother without washing my hands afterwards. when my grandma had to sleep in my room and she touched my bed(which is my most sensitive spot in my OCD) I hated her so much. If i lie on my bed without bathing, i just wouldn't be able to stand it. I would have to wipe my bed with wet hands at least to rid it of its "dirtyness". Really a simple thing like sitting on my bed wearing my "dirty" school uniform would tear me apart and make my whole day miserable. There is a boy named yeap keng han in my school and everytime i saw him i feel disgusted and i will avoid him even though my conscience tells me what a retard i am. But i really could not control it.

I had this problem since i was around 8 and instead of trying to overcome it, i just ignored it and accommodated for it by bathing right before bed, washing my hands often, altogether avoiding dirt. It became a very normal thing for me.

Then during R.O.C.K. camp, somehow when priscilla was telling her story about overcoming her fear of heights, i started crying and i really didnt even know why. Then i couldn't stop even though i really wanted to because it is really embarassing when i am the only one in the room who is crying over ridiculous thing. Then i thought about my fear. My OCD. Later I went back to my room with gloria and priscilla and i told them my story and then i realized that this stupid thing was really was blocking me from God. I was letting my fears control me. Then God set me free. I knew i wouldnt have to suffer anymore. I knew that i must overcome my compulsion not for me, but for God.

Actually when I came for ROCK camp, i seriously thought that I was pretty much healed because I changed my character drastically after attending the first ROCK camp. But i was wrong. I think I was still missing out on the main point. I don't just need a little bit of God in my life. I need God to be the center of my life. Because when I saw the missionary people video thingy, I knew that there really is no happier or better thing i could do then to share in God and to be with God and that is exactly what I have not been doing my whole life.

Today, after sweating and playing the whole day, i lay on my bed, without bathing, and i know that i am free. Really, i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I can think about nothing but God and I really want to get closer to him and do more for him. But i really have no idea how. Actually for a while, i was really considering just leaving school as soon as i could to go out and help people just like that new zealand thingy but then today after asking my dad if i can visit a refugee camp and an orphanage, he told me it is okay as long as i dont turn over and become a social worker because i will not be paid and cannot be rich that way. I really dont know what to say to my dad because i do not want my life to go that way and i cannot see myself happy with all the riches of the world anymore. Now I realized that only God can make me truly happy. I'm also scared that i lose my fire because i have been to camp before and i know that after a few months, i would forget everything i learnt and felt. i think i really need guidance...

Gloria and priscilla, you guys really i mean really made this camp one of the most memorable experiences in my life because talking about faith is just ssoooooo wonderful and i love you guys so much and thank you so much for listening and for helping me as well as sharing your own lovely experiences^^

To alvin, please dont give up on us... we really need you and i can't explain how awesome you are in words.

john, you really dont know how much you telling me that crying is just a manifestation of the holy spirit meant to me because i seriously thought there was something wrong with my hormones or my brain was retarded or something...

Thankyou guys so much and praise the lord! ^^

I saw this sign today staring out at me through the window of that art attack shop.

(click for bigger view)

I will translate all to english now for those who cannot understand BM...
and because i hate BM.
xD


Characteristics of Autistic People:

1. has 1 person conversations

anyone who spends 5 minutes with me will realize that half the time, i am talking to myself about something or other.


2. doesn't show interest

unless it's something shiny, most of the time, if you tell me anything, i will just look blur and everything is going in one ear and coming out the other...


3. copies actions

how often do I play this dumb game?
VERY OFTEN.


4. I DUNNO WHAT THIS IS IN ENGLISH THEREFORE I DON'T UNDERSTAND

somemore the light is blocking in this picture.. hahahha...


5. Flaps hands

Ohmigosh like how many times a day do I attempt to fly????


6. Laugh berdekah-dekah(like a lunatic) at unsuitable times

Okay twilight, new moon and true blood aside, has anyone seen me in class where i suddenly start laughing to myself for no apparent reason?


7. Likes to spin things

One of my favourite pastimes! I play with my baby cousin's balls more than they do and anything that can spin, i will spin.
eg, cups, toilet rolls, bottles, pencils...


8. No eye contact

This only applies to me half of the time.
If you're talking to me about boring shit though, of course I'm going to stare at that speck of dust that just flew by your head...


9. hates change.

Also half applied.
Everyone hates change and so do i. But I guess autistic people are extremely intolerable to change?


10. Talks about the same thing repeatedly.

If you have met me, you may find that I tell you the same story that happened to me today about 5 or 6 times. The number is small because by that time, normal people would have asked me to shut up and go away. This somehow breaks off my talking streak.


11. Doesn't play with other people.

Okay this is not true because I love playing with everyone. :D


12. Only joins groups if helped or pushed(not push as in push you off the building).

Well this is half true. If I know people there, i will join stuff in a flash.
but if I don't have a teman, you will never get me joining any type of group stuff...
I'm scared of people..?


13. Shows liking for adult's hands.

If you sit behind me in mass, you will notice i'm playing with my mother's hands the whole time. Except when I'm clasping them together in prayer la but anyway, i hold my mum's hand a lot. and my dads too. in car they dricing also i hold their hand to increase the chance of car crash. hahahaha. don't catch me, police! xD


And those are the 13 unlucky signs.

And out of those 13, I have 10.5 matched characteristics.
EGAD! I COULD BE AUTISTIC.

Either that, or this sign is very retarded.

OR OR OR...

I'm just christine!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
hahahhahahahhaa

look it's the laughter again...

:OOO

Cheryl's buh bye post. :(

So I spend weeks and weeks poring on cheryl's going away present which I told her was the most awesome present ever which is why her birthday present sucked so much.

NO PRESSURE.

It started with some scrap wood that my dad got from Ikea.

I covered the holes with cardboard...


eeeeeeeee so ugly...


shit some kid is going to get electric shocked!

Psst pstt.... CHERYL!


a lot of wrapping paper later...


so what did it look like in the end?

and what was the final verdict?


CHERYL LOVED IT!


woohoooo!

I don't care if she's lying also, i think it looks awesome. :)

anyway...
finished product.

DOLL ROOM. with no dolls. xD

Watch legolas.



Meant to be tv lol...

There's a musical box that plays memory also.
P.s. that's the song we sang for malam bakat...


Side views...






and came with something I drew for cheryl...



hahah it looks better upside down...



real way looks a bit fake...

oh well...

lallalalllala


now all the sappy things.
(feel free to skip because even looking at it makes me bored. :) )

Note from facebook cause I'm lazy to write 2 things...

Dear Cheryl,

I have no idea where to start.

I just know that I love you and I can't believe I'm never going to
sing with you in the corridors;
play intersection points;
laugh about fruits and veggies;
sms you about hot guys;
give nicknames to all the people we know;
play harry potter and lord of the rings role playing;
play harry potter, race car driving, flicking paper, writing on walls, ring ring hello and other charlie stuff, blowing hair, etc, etc during school exams...(now my only play mate is the dustbin.... :( );
go on toilet adventures;
kacau our favourite teachers like rozeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hohohoho!, usha, norhafizah, nora, jeet, and blablbalbalablabla...;
play other dumb games with you that no one else but you would even consider playing like magical unicorns...

there are so many more things but my attention span is wavering...
actually I'm halfway typing this while smsing you...
and I kinda forgot what i wanted to say so...

you know i think the reason I couldn't cry just now was really because when I hang out with you, I'm just too happy and it's only when you're gone that I remember.
I really cannot even begin to imagine school without you.
The 2 weeks that you went to australia were probably the saddest weeks in the whole of my form 3.
Even studying with you for that idiotic PMR was beyond fun.
Without you, how would I remember about kelabit bario, the hot rentap, PuhPuhNeKeDeLeFeBe, dcckkl, every year's sejarah chapter 1 & 2 topic because you would repeat those the most, and all the other random memorizing methods...
You will always be my ding dong and I will never replace you la.

I scared I write too much now and you get scared of the words.
hahahhahaha.

You know actually, I realized though, it's not like I'm not seeing you again.
It's just that I wont have you all for myself and every single second of the day anymore.
It's just a sudden change from seeing you every freaking day of the week to not until june.
BY THE WAY. YOU MUST COME BACK FOR CHEER AND MALAM BAKAT AND ALL THAT CRAP TOO.
or I will personally take the cheapest air asia flight to melbourne and slap you.
which wouldn't be too bad really...

ahhhh i forgot about your word phobia again.

You know what, if I have any more "sentimental" things to say to you, I'll just write you a letter because being emotional is really draining. xD

I have the most fun with you when I'm just doing nothing and being myself.
I'm never ever bored with you and to summarize it all...
I love you so much and I'll miss you.

Ooo! Ooo! I forgot.

I wrote something for you while studying sejarah before PMR that time.
Because I thought of you then and I have a really short attention span... hahahha.

OKay damn I cannot find it because i wrote it in abi's starfish book and the other day i showed it to bee and i left it downstairs and it's damn dark now okay.

SO I WILL JUST WRITE YOU A LETTER! hahahahha
then i can use fancy paper and make it pretty and you can frame it just like you will frame my drawing right? :)
hahahhahahha okay buy buy now. :)


~remember me always, Christine.~


Huhuhuhuhuhahhahahah.

Cheryl is too awesome to be summarized into one blog post however long it would be and frankly, I'm lazy. :D

if you want to know how much I love cheryl, just see the way I whack her with love. :D

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

5 ways to tell if I really REALLY LOVE YOU!

Christmas has gotten me into a sappy mood.

I was so bored the other night that I have come up with a list of 5 ways to tell if I really REALLY LOVE YOU!


If I....

#1 I blabber a whole lot of nonsense to you

This is when I tell you a lot of long winded boring stories of my life and can't stop no matter how much you want me to. Though to many, this is a sign of idiocy, this is my way of showing LOVE!



#2 say your name randomly... and then say HI.

That means I love you in Christine speak. :) Actually, this is probably a way of getting attention from somebody I like and though it seems, again, like i'm a psychotic retard, that's just how i show love! :D



#3 ask you for hugs!

As most of my closer friends already know, Christine loves hugs! And besides, love is caring and caring is sharing. SO WE SHALL SHARE THE HEIGHT BY HUGGING MORE PEOPLE. (did you know hugging makes you grow taller??? )



#4 pat your head....

I do this to all the people I love except for the tallies because I find everyone who is shorter than me EXTREMELY CUTE even if you're not. When I pat your head, it feels like your my pet animal or cute teddy or something. THEREFORE, I pat your head if I love you. :D



#5 light up when I see you...

No, I don't mean my face decreases in darkness, I mean you can see a glint in my eyes when I see you. Obviously, this means your very special to me and I'm very happy to see you. :D


IF I DO 3 OF THOSE THINGS TO YOU, I LOVE YOU!

IF I DO 4 OF THOSE THINGS TO YOU, I LOVE YOU, A LITTLE MORE!

IF I DO ALL OF THOSE 5 THINGS TO YOU, I JUST REALLY REALLY LOVE YOU, YOU DUMMY!!!!!!!!!!



LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I need to start wrapping Christmas presents...

AND FINISH CHERYL'S GOING AWAY ONE.

I'm not writing a real post

I think I'll write about Cheryl's going away party when I write about Cheryl going away....


Hey, it's still a few thousand years away right? :D

and I finally watched New Moon...

I do have something good to say about this movie.

It induced the most painful laugh I have ever laughed in a movie before...

Wanna hear about it?
I know you do.


So there I was watching new moon...



(which incidentally, the movie people label as "twilight" on the tickets. How confusing is that?)

I took a sip of my water and just at that moment...

Something really stupid involving robert uglyson happened and I can't even remember what it was...

And I ALMOST laughed but contained myself so I wouldn't spit on the fellow in front of me.

However, halfway swallowing my water, the retard next to me(YAU YAU YAU), decided to laugh like a retard and then, you know the saying, laughter is infectious!

I LAUGHED LIKE A SHIT HEAD AND THEN I CHOKED ON MY WATER.

And then I coughed extremely loudly and painfully for about 5 minutes disturbing everyone from what may have been a sentimental part of the movie...

...Had this movie been somewhat good.


Now I'm going to tell you who & what made this movie entertaining or boring or just plain retarded.



Taylor Lautner aka Jacob Black.


You know what? He just is Jacob la...
Only time he made me laugh accidentally was when his hair was like a hobo...

Other than that, quite normal.
Of course Yau and a bazillion other girls will just gush about his packs but I think that some actors deserve way much more hype than taylor and hairybert.

Why do I call him hairybert?



Ohmygoodinesitssougly....

Not only is his hairy stomach broadcasted worldwide...
He also has melted nipples...

This is besides his ugly face of course.

But actually, I think his acting improved from the last movie...
I laughed at him a lot less than in twilight and he's less annoying here...

But then maybe that's just 'cause he's not in the show 80% of the time.

Except as a ghost.
Which is so flattering on him since at least now his ugliness is transparent...


Anyway, as I was saying about there being way hotter guys than taylor and hairybert...



LOOK AT THE GUY WHO PLAYS PAUL.
(Alex Meraz)

Taylor Lautner is just a compact cluster of muscles everywhere.
He looks like a male barbie doll.
I would say Ken but even Ken not so muscular wei!

Anyway, this guy looks normal and hotter!!!!

Nicer picture for yau's enjoyment...




He's just the hottest wolf but others are hot too...

EXCEPT FOR SAM ULEY!



Compare him(most right) with all the other guys next to him...

SO FAT & WEIRD LOOKING.

this picture is not such a good example of his true colours though...


Now let's move on to the members of the Volturi.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE TWINS.



Alec (Cameron Bright)




Jane (Dakota Fanning)


They are just the best actors there and the hottest vampires too.
When I saw Alec I was like "Whoah, who is that?"

Then Yau was like, "I think it's Demetri right?"

Then I checked and Demetri is the less hot vampire who is not worthy to be talked about here.


Then there's Marcus who according to Abigail looks like Snape.



(Christopher Heyerdahl)

Actually, he looks like this one guy who acted in lord of the rings as the king who was influenced by this evil man who's daughter fell in love with aragorn...
I can't remember all their dumb names but he looks like that guy!

He is also quite funny to watch if you're a psychotic person...

and then most awesome of all in his acting is the guy who plays Aro(Michael Sheen)!



From left: aro, caius and ALEC!!!!

He has the most hilarious acting ever!
HE LOOKS LIKE A PSYCHOPATH ALL THE TIME AND I LOVE IT.



See even when he's not acting he's cool!

EVEN HIS LAUGH IS SO AWESOME AND PSYCHOTIC!!!!

Caius is quite hot also and then I looked him up and realized he is the same sweet guy from Sweeney Todd that sings the Johanna song...

SO DIFFERENT WTS....
But cool. :)



Caius alone...


and then there's Jasper who actually has a personality besides a constipated face in this movie...



Only thing, I wish he'd sue the stylist who forced that hideous hair on him...

Look at his potential to be hot!



Awesome...

And then of course there is Alice!!!



sometimes when i see the girls, I wonder, why are there so many hot girls in this world and not enough hot guys???!!!!

I only say that because, somehow, uglyson was cast as Edward...

and then now for the hottest Cullen of them all...

Dr. Carlisle Cullen!



I never thought about him being hot in the book because he was supposed to be like the father but here he looks so young and hot!!!
No other word...

bigger picture:



And now we come to the funniest character in the entire movie!

BELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I think probably one of her funniest parts was when she said "Kiss me" to edward with her stupid retarded face...

Hey I think that may have been when I choked!!!

Anywho, there are other many funny things that she does, falling being one of the least funny though because she sucks so much at acting dumb.

Another funny thing you have to watch out for is how she says edward after he ditches her in the forest...

I can't demo so you'll have to watch it yourself...

Over all I can actually say I was very entertained.

So my advice for all on the brink of deciding whether or not to watch this show?


Pick your type of personality:

A) I am a diehard twilighter:
Why haven't you watched it yet, you retard! Diehard twilighter, my foot!

B) I'm a normal person looking for a movie to fill my time with:
Don't watch it unless you plan on sleeping in the movie.

C) I am an emo person who just broke up with her boyfriend:
Watch the first part and then you can see how normal and alive you are compared to the psychotic Kristen Stewart who is just this constantly bored person...

D) You are a psychotic retard like myself and miss a good laugh:
WATCH IT WITH YOUR OTHER PSYCHO FRIENDS AND YOU'LL HAVE A BALL.


Now go do what I told you to!

I ish back.

Note: all my brother's photos have a dk next to them.

...from the land of kangaroos and cheese making geniusry!
(Yes, that is a word! IN IDIOT LANGUAGE. :D)


AND AND AND....

HOT CAUCASIAN GUYS!!!!
It's summer and all the schoolies are out on the streets shirtless and having fun! :D

And to save you all the trouble of skimming through 9GB of photos from me & my brother, I won't be posting all photos(like duh... who does that??) and I won't be marking them either.
I'm lazy, so there!


Anyway, for those of you who didn't know, I spend an entire 10 DAYS at Queensland, Australia. Among the places I stayed at were Brisbane, Gold Coast and Lillydale(a farmstay)...



AND IT WAS NOT 40 DEGREES, CHERYL.
It was a comfy 33 at the highest.
THE STUPID SUN IS SO RETARDED.
AUSTRALIA SO UNPOLLUTED ALSO CAN GET SO BIG A HOLE IN THE OZONE.

So yes, Queensland(when your in the Sun) is hotter than Malaysia!
When you step in the shade, it's cool though. :D
Ah well, at least there's awesome wind to keep me cool at the awesome beaches!!!
Actually, it's still alot cooler than Malaysia when you're in the shade 'cause the weather is not so humid but is instead ferociously windy. :D


ANYWAY.

My trip:

PART 1: BRISBANE

After an 8 hour flight, we arrive at...



Gold Coast...?

Well, Air Asia flies a lot more to Gold Coast then the retarded Brisbane, you see.
So anyway, after collecting our rented car...


dk/my cam

MINE MINE.

...we drive on down to Brisbane.
Well, my dad drives. Christine sleeps. :D

WAIT BUT BEFORE THAT...

Our hungry tummies need some breakfast!
And what better place to eat in Australia than...

SUBWAYS! :D




Sauce choices until wanna die leh...




Sub sub sub...





dk

*heavenly music plays*

:DDDD


Munch munch.

and later we head on to the adjoined supermarket and grab ourselves some Aussie MILK!



AAAHH!!!!!!!! CHRISTINE MISSES THE MILK THERE.
SO MUCH BETTER THAN STUPID MALAYSIAN ONE....
T.T

AND ROAST CHICKEN.



You know what they say about ugly food tasting awesome...

and LASAGNA!!!!!!!!!!!




Now back to the drivin' to Brisbane...

So we eventually reach our motel.


dk

That's our unit.
quite nice, actually.



my room...


Oo! Oo! And there are MIRRORS. :)




Munchie munchie munch on our awesome dining table.


dk


AND THEN EVERYONE SLEEPS.

Except me, of course.
I played with my mother's phone's wi-fi. xD

So later on, we decide to pay a visit to Chinatown for some obscure reason...

In dieday light.





At NIGHT. ;)


dk

it looks retarded.

It really was, I mean, who goes to australia to see chinatown????!!

somemore under construction like that...


dk

the moon never sleeps in aussie land.

Seriously, 12 o' clock in the afternoon also can see it... =.=


Anyway, we eat in Chinatown...
boohoo....



Who the hell charges this much for Chow Kwai Tew?
Whatever that is.

P.s. 1 Australian dollar is pie Malaysian Ringgit.
Pie as in 3.142blablablablabla....

According to my brother. :D


Foodses.



The sun is down and it's only 6 o' clock.
WHAT THE SHIT....

Nevermind!
Let's go explore the beachy lands of Brisbane!

Ooooo....
what's this? O.o



oh well, tak picktoores.



p.s. super windy sea right next to this place! :DDDDD

And the next day, it's Sunday!
Like good Christians, we go to church...




The church choir is sooooo awesome!
There's this old man who sings like andrea bocelli and they have a flute and a tuba player!
So it sounds so magical and lord of the rings like! HAHA.




Outside.

So then we decide to explore the city...
First stop, the botanical gardens!



Ohmigosh it looks exactly like Kukup in Malaysia but it's HOTTER.

And who said Australian water is very clean?



CHECK THAT OUT.
Of course, it's at the marshes, you can't blame them.

And the Sun creeps higher into the sky as we trudge through this tropical forest...



And suddenly!

"I'm hungry."
says Christine.

Fear not, child!
Daddy has packed you LASAGNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:OOOO




And that is how we can go to Australia without dying of poorness.
Get stuff from the supermarkets!
(note our Coles bag)

Anyway...

Stupid annoying plants at the botanical gardens:





Haha. NOT a papaya. :)





Look exactly like Malaysia, right?


And then we walk over to town hall for a history lesson.



BLABLABLA SLEEP.


LOOK A BALL.



Yau would like this ball probably as much as she'd like all the people here who are also round and rotund. :D

shineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.




Stupid town hall is dangerous for little kids like me... :(


dk

I almost splatted!


did you know in the olden days, a guys toilet was called a larder?



(zoom in to see)


And women peed in vegetable rooms. :D




NOW THAT'S NOT CONFUSING AT ALL.


Nope, and neither is this.



Now I wonder how I'm going to park...
(zoom in if you don't get it and if after that, you still don't get it, YOU'RE RETARDED. ahhahahhahahha)


The next day, yours truly became the navigator!!



Okay so what if I used a GPS?

it takes a certain skill to press all the correct buttons!!!


anywhooo...

we headed to sunshine coast, home of SUNSHINE CASTLE.


dk

habadahabada....





My dad has some fun with the free hats they let us try on...



Viking.


dk

Thingie.


and of course, moi is the princess. :)


dk

and this is my castle.




a long time ago, I stole the throne from this dead dude on top of me...


dk

Now all the kingdom is mine!



MWAHAHAHHAHAHA!


So I dine in the great hall at the highest place.


dk

complete with free entertainment. :D





in the end though, I get my just desserts...



dk

Mmm.... desserts!




XD


anyway, all of this magical-ness reminds me of my favourite show of all time...

LORD OF THE RINGS!

Among the many things that remind me of lord of the rings...


LOTR memorabilia swords





LOTR picture





Gandalf fighting off the troops of Mordor




AND AND AND....


LEGO! Las...

Don't we look alike? :)





Other than that awesome-ness, this place is filled with dolls of all varieties...








Alice in wonderland.




They even have Malaysian! :O




Wizard of Oz.


and a real toy to be reckoned with...



A DISCO STICK.

See, it's a stick that looks like a disco ball that you take with you to the discos!
I wasn't lying cheryl, it's true! :)

hahahahhaahahahaha.


after that we head on down to the beach for some good old seagull feeding...




and if you're brave enough...



try putting food on your head.

IT DOESN'T WORK.
:D



PART 2: LILLYDALE

Lillydale is actually a real out of reach place near Mt. Barney(as in the dinosaur! XD) where there happens to be a 4 1/2 star farmstay in which I stayed at.

Our cabin room...




is absolutely gorgeous...













SUPER ECO-TOILET!



The sink on top of it automatically turns on after you use the toilet for you to wash your hands.
Here's the cool part though...
That same water is gonna flush the toilet the next round!
Neat huh?


We have a nice view of the mountains...




Coupled with a nice view of the cows...



xD


and then at night...



you might think I didn't take that picture because only a dslr can take night shots like that, but i borrowed my brothers while he was asleep. xD

ANYWAY...

STARS! :D


The next day, we put on our fly-protection outfits...



Which are absolutely useless...


and head on to play with the farm animals...
:D


Horses.




Feed the sheep!


dk

Wallabys!


dk

Look how midgety they are!!!!


dk

Later on, as we're driving around....

we see wild ones!



and they stop and stare at us as we snap a bazillion pictures! :DDDDD


Pollination at work!


dk


And then there are wild owls too!



so beautiful... xD


WARNING: CHERYL, CLOSE YOUR EYES.

See, i'm so kind to cheryl.

Now i'm gonna show you chickens!


Daddy teaching us how to make the chickens really dizzy...


dk

They're all so fat and ploppy and cute!!

and they follow all the humans like that because they think we all have food!



Well, that's true in farmer Doug's case up there...

and while they're too busy eating to notice...

Farmer Doug sends me on an errand...


dk

egg hunting!

and then we move on to see these black chickens....


dk

and their babies are sooooooo cute!!!! ^^


And once we got bored of the animals, there was still plenty to do here...

enjoy the breathtaking lakes...


dk




this is actually a dam so my dad said "the water surely clean wan la..."...
later on though, he admitted, as soon as he stepped out of the water, he felt itchy all over his legs...


play on trampolines....


dk

i had a really freaking high toe touch pic but it looks obscene 'cause my pants are too short...


and then there are board games to play in the comfort of our room...

DAM.



That's it's name in Malay, seriously...
And obviously you know who'd be the white.... T.T


Scrabble!




And then the next day, we barge on over to the gold coast!

With plenty of stops along the way, of course...


dk

PART 3: GOLD COAST


When we arrive to the Gold Coast, the Sun is about to rest it's head...



and it's only about 6!

However, this does not deter us from visiting the beaches...







and once again, feeding the gulls! xD




Fire from the sky...



Our room here, though not as awesome as the one at Lillydale's, is satisfactory...











and and and....


got swimming pool which I actually swam in!
xD




Actually, all our other places of residence had swimming pools, including the farm but this one had a hot tub! xD


The next day, we decide to catch the sunrise!



we're too late though...

oh well, a nice stroll wouldn't hurt, would it?




and we come across a lot of these lizards...




lalallalala....




we, as weak ol' malaysians, can't stand the wind, and wrap ourselves tightly in sweaters...

However, the mat sallehs...



well, you can see the difference...


The waves are strong and awesome here...



I actually took like quite a few pictures of this guy cause I thought he was my dad...

Later, I even went up to him to sit with him and to my horror, he was a random stranger!

luckily Caucasians are so nice and friendly...

Other pretty things to note about this country...

Jellyfish that aren't ugly...



Though very washed up...


Dew drops!




And then and then....

I MET OBAMA.


dk

And i shook his hand!!!! :OOOOO

Ok maybe I didn't...

I did meet his wax counterpart though, at....



the wax museum!
Yayyyyy!


So the first part, which is some horror walk or something, they show you alot of torture stuff and people being tortured, etc, etc...
NO PICTURES ALLOWED... :(

and believe me...
it's SUPER FREAKY.

The methods they use for torture...
blehhhh...
but then again....
maybe im just faint hearted...
:p

anyway, the next part, the famous people is really fun and pictures ARE allowed! yay! :D
(That's how I got my obama. :) )


I also took picture with the king of rock and the king of pop!


dk

ELVIS AND MJ!


Other wax stuff & replicas...

crown jewels...



Princess Diana.




Queen Elizabeth II.




Napoleon Bonaparte.




Monsters.




Nosferatu.




Mahatma Gandhi!



Mao Zi Tong.



(sorry dunno how to spell... xD)


King Henry the.... em... the famous one...




William Shakespeare!



Neil Armstrong




Later on, we head just across the street to the Chevron Renaissance mall.



anyway, the reason we headed to this mall in the first place was because we had vouchers for Donut King from the wax museum!

My brother was thrilled, of course!



Why?
DK! Donut King!
hahhahahahhaa!


We also head on down to Infinity, located also in the Chevron Renaissance...





but it's really expensive, compared to Thailand's one...
xD



The next day, we decide to try and catch the sunrise again.
This time, we made it!




Something wrong with uploader and I'm too lazy to upload the sun pictures... xD

Today, we also go souvenir shopping...




Awesome hat...




And also to the carrara markets...



which is like Australian pasar malam in the day time and with less people and pricier things.



my mom bought a few items of clothing though...

I, on the other hand, just enjoyed the weird things...



Pretty birds!

we bought fish & chips for the 4th time this holiday...



this one was the least aweseome one though...

I also bought fudge!
:DDDDD


and and and....

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!

Because I don't have it yet and I NEED IT.
And it was really cheap because it was second hand...


and then because it would be a waste not to at least see it, we visited Movie World...



...on the outside.



BOOOOO....




And Wet & Wild too...



Yet again...



Only on the outside...



OH WELL.




On our last day, Sunday, we went for mass at the church...



Brisbane's one was better... xD

Then we headed out to the beach to watch some surfers!

(P.s. From this point, me and my brother's photos all suck because the salt water dirtied our camera lenses.
as you can see...


So bear with us...)




lalalalallaa.... :)


LIFEGUARD.



hahahahhahahahhahahaahhaa...


crazy caucasians.





Then I dig a hole! :D



LOOK HOW DEEP IT IS.
I did this in 5 minutes....


My grandma also found some musicians and danced with them...


dk

But then, it was time to leave...

At the airport.


dk

K for K mart! Which is where I got this thick jacket for only AUS$10!!!

that's rm30 and I think it's a steal...


Sad to be home...


dk

and sea breeze less.... :((((


BUT IT WAS A FANTABULOUS HOLIDAY!!!!


Well, just except for the UGLY NESS OF THEESE....


dk

but compensated by a lot of HOTNESSS OF YOUNGER GUYS!!!!
