it's my first time to Australia,
de thot of leaving saddens me,
trip flooded wif memories,
both sweet & bad.

it's my first time to Blue Mountain,
magnificent views overwhelmed me,
holding on to each other,
dat's wat i seen on 'three sisters'.

it's my first time i saw snow,
on de journey to jenolan caves,
feeling it, touching it,
but it juz disappear within seconds.

it's my first time,
i felt so cold in my life,
but smiles on everyone,
simply melt my heart.

it's not my first time,
getting hurt over & over again,
utimately i'll still let go,
for i only wanna keep,
beautiful memories,
memories dat keep me happy,
and growing stronger day by day.

i wanna thank god,
for bringing each & everyone,
for filling up de missing puzzles,
for giving me all these experiences,
be it good or bad,
but this is where i learn abt life,
some things r meant to b kept,
while some r meant to let go.
MY FIRST TIME...

(it's not very poetic for i'm not a poet.. juz feel like writing it.. wrote it on my trip back to sydney after seeing blue mountain, rainbow & snows.. a moment full of feelings..)


can u imagine i havent been blogging for more than two weeks.. didnt expect dat pple haf been waiting to read my blog while i was in aust n how am i, enjoying myself, blah blah blah and things like dat.. indeed it was a trip i really enjoyed myself, thought alot of stuff, bring my focus back, readjusting my aims & goals.. a good trip.. a good break..

arrived in sydney on 23/6/07 @ nite.. was supposed to get out of customs and stuff faster but somehow or another i got stuck, officer checking on my passport, checking on wat i was doin here, how long i'll b here, where will i stay n things.. asking me for liz's no.. called liz n checking on her.. all this bcuz stupid me did smthg.. not anything serious though except dat i ticked de immigration card wrongly.. not only dat, i didnt even put liz's add in so kinda looked like a illegal immigrant in aust.. haha.. kinda cheesed off though.. anywae liz & carrod (liz's fren) picked me up frm sydney airport.. miss liz so much.. by de time i got out of airport was almost 9pm.. went n picked prema up.. oh god, havent seen her in ages, went for dinner at darlin harbour.. guess wat, initially i was tinking wat's wrong wif prema, de sounded so different, like she suddenly had short tongue.. only did i realised dat this naughty gal went n pierced her tongue.. ouch.. omg.. well as long as she likes it, nothing else matters.. hehs.. met liz's fren who was celebrating his bday at a pub, didnt really stay long.. not sure if it's cuz of jet-lag so i wasnt prepared to party or mayb i wasnt dressed up to party so headed back instead.. de weather was cold but i enjoyed every single bit of it..


24/6/07~went church wif liz.. her church frenz were all so friendly dat for a moment i felt like becoming a christian.. haha.. went to world square, nothing better else to do, went n do my hair.. did some treatment n had a haircut by de professional at toni & guy & spent almost AUD$200 there.. after which went and check out liz's new plc.. met victor, my polymate, dat was de moment i felt like working in sydney.. seems so much better than sg.. overloaded wif work in sg.. good point for consideration.. had dinner at pancakes n took some photos at some unknown plc where i could see both harbour bridge & opera house.. but didnt haf really good camera so couldnt get really nice pix, endede up taking ourselves.. haha.. "LA BEGGARS"


25/6/07~flew to gold coast.. adrian was der so early, de moment he arrived in gold coast he msg & called me while i was still slping on liz's bed.. haha.. anywae flight was delayed.. by de time i arrived at gold coast it was already like 3pm.. by de time i get to de hotel (courtyard mariotte - highly recommended if u r juz looking for a plc to rest wif magnificent sea view.. well dat's provided u request for high floors.. hehs.. :P) within de next few mins, it was dark.. catch some nap n went out for dinner.. it was really cold but so cold till i was so tempted n we had ice-cream for dessert.. imagine walking down de streets wif de cold wind blowing at ur face n having an ice cream.. though it was cold but dat's when i really appreciate ice cream.. hehs.. walk ard de streets to check out wat's ard de hotel.. all i can say is good location.. right smack in de central of all de shopping area.. hehs..

26/6/07~woke up to find dat it was drizzling outside but de rain nvr stop me frm doin anything.. decided to go ahead wif plan.. went to movie world.. spent de whole day der.. took quite a no of pix.. bought a couple of things.. nothing exciting.. except.. adrian & jasmine pulled me to take this water ride.. i didnt want to but they insisted.. i'm really afraid of heights.. i hate de feeling of "de heart dropping".. as usual,u can hear me screamed throughout de whole ride.. haha.. but i did enjoy myself.. was entertaining de duo wif my screams.. haha.. but den got ourselves all so wet.. not only were we wet.. we were so cold too.. by de end of de day, u can c our hair was wet frm de rain n water in de pix.. took some other rides too.. but nothing much.. went to Jupiters (casino) at nite.. first time i played roulette, juz to waste my money der only.. haha.. cuz i haf no idea how to really play it.. all iwas doin was simply putting my money on de table to get swoped.. haha..

27/6/07~de sun was bright & shining.. was supposed to go to dream world.. overslept.. haha.. late nite syndrome.. haha.. my first shopping day.. went to pacific fair.. the one n only plc where i bought lotsa stuff.. it was juz so hugh dat u can practically buy everything der.. no idea wat i bought n who i bought for.. all i can remember was by de end of de day i was carrying tons of paperbags.. wif lotsa stuff inside but mostly clothes.. SALES were all over de plc or shld i say all over australia.. haha.. wtd to go another shopping centre (cant remember wat it is called) but didnt expect de bus ride to b so long.. by de time we got der most of de shops were closed or shld i say all.. all dat was left were de eatery.. exactly wat we need.. food to replenish all de energy we spent during shopping.. not much choices.. end up wif pastas.. by de time we got back to hotel, drop dead tired.. not exactly oso but we needed de slp so dat we'll not oversleep again de next morning..

28/6/07~great weather, woke up on time, stayed wif wat was planned.. went dream world.. guess this was de plc where u can literally hear me screaming thruout.. visited de animal farm too.. de piggies were so cute.. so were de sheeps.. saw koalas & kangaroos.. took some rides.. de most exciting will b this one dat travels @ 160km/hr.. it juz zoom up to a certain height n drop by down.. let me remind u, it's within seconds.. like mayb 20s.. i was so scared.. scared de shit out of me.. was juz screaming throughout till i heard smone shouted.. "shut up".. haha.. u tink i care.. haha.. de other one dat i screamed de most was de 3d haunted house.. stupid adrain made me walked in front.. which means i haf to bring them round de corners where i get scared first.. i was so scared dat i could hardly move, so basically they were pushing me frm de back.. haha.. it was freezing when we left.. time passes really fast.. before we could even realised it was time for us to leave though by dat time i had already build up enough courage to sit all other rides but time didnt permit.. went back to de hotel.. took a rest & went jupiters at nite again.. but htis time i didnt play much.. dun wanna waste too much money gambling.. went back hotel first wif jasmine cuz both of us were bored n tired..

29/6/07~last min shopping b4 we head back to melbourne.. but i really love de glisterring beach of gold coast.. didnt had a chance to step to de beach, for sure i will go back again.. this time round not during winter.. haha.. MELBOURNE here i come.. stayed at adrian's plc.. went clubbing.. de one n only time.. kinda scary though.. de pple der were so aggressive.. so easy.. yucks.. haha.. didnt really enjoy it except for de music.. RnB rocks..

30/6/07~went shopping again in melbourne but this time round i didnt buy as much as i were in gold coast but i bought 3 pairs of boots.. haha.. crazy rite?! wateva man.. as long as i like n enjoy.. went crown casino at nite.. met adrian's frenz.. one of them were really cute.. if i remember correctly his name was tom.. but too bad he's attached.. haha.. saw two interesting scenes.. First scene: everyone flocks to de other end of de casino includings all de securities.. i wondered wat happen too.. though i wasnt really sure.. i saw one guy got punched in de eye.. de other lying motionless on de floor.. thought wat happen to him.. anywae he was ok but was brought away by de police.. wonder wat he did.. guess either he cheated or he stole money, u know stuff like dat.. Second scene: was gonna get some drink, den this drunkard fell rite in front of me, wat made matter worst was he knocked his head against de jackpot machine.. OUCH!!

1/7/07~was packing my luggage n waiting for de arrival of liz.. did nothing much..

2/7/07~this is one of my fav.. went puffy billy.. took de steam train.. damn nice.. de scenary, train ride.. it was quite short though, didnt quite get many nice pix here.. next was yarra valley (vineyard).. this was one of my fav plc.. de sky was clear.. de plc was beautiful for picture taking.. had lunch & some wine here.. took quite a no of good & nice pix here.. next was hensvale santuary.. sounds sophiscated but it was juz a zoo.. haha.. my pictures will tell all wat animal i saw der..

5/7/07~went blue mountain.. liz & me, we were both so under-dressed. freezing.. each had to buy a sweater.. temperature was like 5-9 degrees.. but de views were really good.. took de tram.. freaking hell, it was like sitting roller coaster.. it was so steep.. morever we took de front seats.. looked as if we were gonna fall into de forest anytime.. haha.. went to de jenolan caves after dat.. on our way up, guess wat i saw.. first it was rainbow.. de first time i saw rainbow so many times.. it was de same rainbow but frm different angle.. i could even catch a pix of it.. fantastic.. den i saw snow.. it was snowing.. both liz & mine, our first time dat we saw snow.. we were so excited.. haha.. had our lunch at jenolan caves.. de caves were amazing.. for them to do de tunnelling and enable pple to visit de caves, they were even more amazing.. but i really enjoyed myself - last day in sydney.. carrod took me & liz across de harbour bridge to de other side of sydney for a japanese crusine.. it was an early nite for me.. quite tired after all de touring.. but poor liz & carrod were packing stuff.. liz gotta move out of de hostel by next day..

6/7/07~it was time for me to return.. nearly cried at de airport wheni was about to leave.. wonder whether it was bcuz i'm leaving liz or whether if i dun wanna return to de reality.. anywae had abit of prob wif my luggage.. overweight.. cldnt help liz bring back her stuffs.. goodbye australia..
