Helloo! Posting from Australia haha :D

Well two days have passed; and I felt an urgent need to blog before I forget everything we went through... (from left: me, my uncle, my dad and mom!)


Day 1!
It was a tiring ride on the plane, and you know WHATTT. Ironman was not
out on the entertainment system yet because May had not passed! (30th of may >
<) So I didn't have anything cool to watch. Settled on Jumper, but omg laa it totally sucks can. The only cool thing is that the guy can teleport around that's all. Plus plus, there were 3 babies on board with us, and they were like crying throughout the whole flight! Ma and Pa couldn't sleep at all.. my bro slept, and I don't quite remember what I did. I think I was like half-dozing off and half staring at the moon which was level to my line of sight. When we were about to land I caught this pic which is pretty cool.. After we landed, we finally saw the babies; and they were like SUPERR cute! Ahhhhh I realised a lot of Australian kids, well okay kids in general, even those in Singapore look really cute :D (i'm not a paedophile though!)

Thenn... we went to big bro's house to put all our stuff; and his house is really really cosy! I wouldn't say it's small, because it's just nice for 3 people
living together. Well okay but it IS a little small for a whole family of 5 living in one room (his room) To make more space, my two brothers decided to sleep downstairs in the living room which has a bed too ^^ It is the kind of house which is simple and has two levels.. just to give a sneak peek of it:

And I get to wear cool shoes with two MONKEYS :D hahahahaha. After we settled down, we went over to the chinatown place in Adelaide and also Rundlemall, or whatever you call it. I felt really bleary from the lack of sleep the night before, so it wasn't THAT enjoyable for me, plus I had to carry this bag of 11 oranges in my arms T.T but of course, the courtes
y and friendliness of everyone around really made it better! Like my bro was holding this fruit in his hand and asking me if it would taste sweet or not. Then this really old auntie standing beside us had bought the same fruit. She turned to us and gave us one of her fruits, saying, "Oh! Here you go you can try it. Go ahead! It's really good haha :D"

Both of us were quite shocked (well shocked in a pleasant way) for a moment because that will NEVER happen in Singapore. I guess, that's one of the best things that Australia
has. The people here are super friendly! And I like it ^^ I mean, even when you are just walking down the streets, people see you, smile and say, "Goodday!" or even just a simple nod :D In fact I think I'll have a hard time getting used to how stone Singaporeans are when I get home..

Hmm.. In the night we had dinner at this Thai restaurant, and my taste buds got real confused! First it was sweet, then sour, then spicy and bbq-y, then sweet again. Hahahaha. The keropok was free flow too :D

Went home, had a very very nice sleep the whole night from like 10pm till 10.30am (australian time).

Day 2!
Today was much better, as I had a nice sleep. Daylight begins at like 6am! But it ends early too, at 4pm or so. By 5pm it seems like 11pm or 12am in Singapore already. Anyw
ay, I woke up much later than the others, so I ate breakfast alone.. Hot salami with bread and milo. Pretty good :D

In the afternoon we went over to the botanical park. The scenery there was beautiful! Well I wouldn't say breathtaking, but it makes you feel like you want to protect Nature forever. You know, that kind of feeling? Yea and one more thing about Australia is that it's really green! Both the people and the place. It's weird for you to ask the cashier for a plastic bag, or at least, it's not normal for you to do so because if you look around, everyone has a green bag! Like omgg I actually dreamt of this before, and it's right here in front of my eyes. Love this place.

Back to the park... We did some really silly things there and snapped quite a few pics: Well pa looks pretty unglam in this pic O: but ahh he's not like that ^^ (and oh man I wish my hair were longer now.)

So after the parks, we went to the summit of Mt. Lofty, the place where the botanical park is. Sounds quite cute right haha, Mount Lofty. It's like calling a guy Mr Big haha! we took many photos, but I don't have time to post them here, so next time yea!

Now after that... We made our way to a German town named Hahndorf. Hahndorf was simply.. unforgettable. It's this little town which you read of in the storybooks, with one storey buildings only.. and there's happiness all around; hardly anyone gets angry or anything. Or at least, it seemed like that to me. The entire town is actually just ONE street. A straight road. But it's super cosy! We went to eat at this place called the German Cake Shop, which sells nice cakes. I also saw this super funny poster about Murphy's Law. I don't know what it is, although I've heard about it.. Just view that picture in high def and have a nice laugh XD Then we went to another place called the Hahnd
off German Inn, which is actually a German restaurant. The portions are like HUGGEEEE can! And there were quite a few kids in there when we ate too. I guess, this is where they are trained before they become full sized juggernauts like their parents when they grow up. The people here are really big! Compared to us Asians at least.. We couldn't finish our food so we packed it :P
Now we're back at home. I still miss Hahndoff... It's such a nice place! Small and quiet, simple. I love ittt. We'll spend one more day here in Adelaide before we move off to Sydney, a busier place than Adelaide. Tomorrow we are going off to the beach! So it's going to be pretty fun with lots and lots of pictures again :D But I wouldn't be able to use the internet in Sydney, so I gave this really long post ^^ In fact, I cut out a lot of things that we did these two days to fit in here haha. Things like our small little Mr Bean car XD


Well well. I think I'm starting to fall in love with this place :) Can I not leaveeeee! It's simply like, one of the closest things to heaven. I'll post when I get the chance to do so again! Bye!
