Belated post #1: GC, GC, GC, GC, GC, GC, GC,...

OMG. This like my 7th time (inclusive my two other visits with my family) going to Gold Coast theme parks!
Horrified.

And this November will be my 8th time,
but different lah, it's with my sister. ♥ If only my youngest is coming too tho. :(

Anyway,
The thrill rides are *yawn* to me already.
Not much adrenaline rush anymore, even for the Giant Drop, which used to make my knees kinda weak by just looking at it.
But not anymore now.
SKYDIVING NEXT. but $$$$$$$$.





Ok ok, purpose of my entry here is to show some photo-logs of my 7th GC TRIP.
One of our friends, ok, BF's friend to be exact but sort of played WOW with him too so... yea.
Anyway, his friend decided to come Australia for a visit sooooo adding GC seemed idea since he likes thrill rides too.





This time we stayed at Circle on Cavil (again). Pretty apartment.

With purrrfect night scenery.

Ok actually this was taken at SkyPoint.





So, as usual, one of the usuals at GC.

Photobucket


Where you get to hug a penguin

and a duck.

Photobucket


And get to stand on a car that is stranded at the Asylum, possibly owned by Joker.

Photobucket


Experienced the Green Lantern coaster too! (Looks fun but it's boring. Go to the movie world site for the video clip. Not thrilling one leh so not worth linking HEEHEE.)

Photobucket






The next usual

DREAMWORLD.

Forgot to capture a group photo. Oh well.
At least I got the koala!

Photobucket


And the Claw ride.

Photobucket


AH. Bf did not take because he chickened out...

Photobucket


due to his weak back.
Caused by his stupidity (opps) during our Falls Creek snowboarding trip.
But he was massive sad la.
POOR BF.





Lastly, the other usuals that we always skipped.

Photobucket


The last time I went there..
was when I was young, with my family.
Always avoid going there ever since due to the lack of thrill rides.
But..
because BF was suffering from a weak back, he was super sad as he couldnt take most rides.
So might as well visit the Seaworld right?

To play the adult playground!

And best part of the Seaworld was touching the marine lives!!!!!
I'm serious!

We touched the smiling stingrays...

Photobucket


and great white..

Photobucket


Ok, no great white. and the stingrays arent that big either.
INSTEAD, WE TOUCHED BABY STINGRAYS INSTEAD AND THESE LITTLE BABIES LITERALLY STOLE OUR HEARTS.
Even BF's!

The stingrays were sooo so so cute, very very friendly. (Ignore Steve Irwin's incident. He was forever on the mission to make any living beings pissed off)
Ok, so anyway,
after the rays touching thing, BF was like "Don't feel like eating stingrays now."
Pretty sure it was just for that moment. Not sure about myself though (._.)

You know I am very particular about cleanliness.
But the stingrays were too cute that I.. JUST.. GOT.. TO.. TOUCH.
Photobucket


touching..
touching...
and and and

TOUCHED.

Photobucket
Oh boy it felt good. :O





Oh yes, do visit the fish market near the seaworld! Yummy and reasonably priced seafood.
Nice scenery too!

Photobucket


Don't need the Versace buffet.

BUT You got to be there early because they sell what they catch.
Finish = no more = visit Peter's, which we actually did because we missed it :(
But still very very yummy. and fresh!

One of our yums.

Photobucket


Did not bother taking the rest because we just want to gobble them up. The crab was actually broken into pieces, ready to enter our salivating mouth but we fixed them up for photo taking.





Ok, back to writing up my manuscript. Before I do, last photo!

Photobucket


One of my favourite :)
