Hello everyone!
I'm finally back to blogging. Had been busy you see; arrived back in Singapore on Sunday and then on Monday had a 3-day work attachment at Oriental Hotel. Uploaded some photos, but not all because that would take ages. So, enjoy!

14 May Arrived in Australia!
Bus took us to the Chinatown in Brisbane.
At Chinatown in Brisbane.
At performing arts centre.
The place is pretty but the talk is boring. Especially after our long flight we were all dozing off.
Watermark Hotel; where we're gonna be staying at during these few days.
Well, the beds are large but the amenities available and the facilities are not exactly up to our expectations.
15 May
It's so hard to get up in the morning. Australia is 2hrs ahead of Singapore so when they say meet at 8am, it actually meant meeting at 6am. Madness.
Teng Teng kept trying to wake me up, but too softly.. haha.
At Conrad Hotel. The place is pretty and I loved their harbour view rooms.
Taken with our friendly bus guide Nathan and the guide for Conrad hotel.
From left to right clockwise: Charmaine, Miao Xia, Pei Wei, Althea, Stefanie, Cai Ling, Adeline, Tiffany, Me!
During the night, we went to the Vegas casino near our hotel. And by joining forces, we won some money =)
16 May 
Sanctuary Cove Resort is beautiful! But alot of insects ar, probably cos the units are all low rised and there's a lot of greenary around.
I could spend a day just watching the clouds. The serenity of it all.
Oh, everyone tried to snap some pictures of the rainbow while on the bus.
17 May The first stop for today is Dreamworld!
Watched a farm show which is quite stupid but interesting.
Fed kangaroos. Funny sensation when you feel them licking your palms.
Finally at around 1 plus, we had time to take the thrill rides.
We went for the Giant Drop first thinking that it should be less scary then Tower of Terror but turns out...
The freaking thing went up 38 levels and stayed there for about 2 minutes.
Then without warning, it drops all the way down to ground floor in less then 4 seconds.
My organs nearly flew out with it. But it was fun!!
So after that ride, the rest were all NOTHING compared to it.
I took Tower of Terror, Cyclone for 2 times, and The Claw for 3 times almost consecutively =D
I liked The Claw! It's like a gigantic swing flying and spinning.
Was Good!
But taking it for 3 times consecutively is sick.
I felt Like everything was upside down afterwards. Not exactly a nice feeling I would say.
18 May Boring! Early in the morning went to the Griffith University.

Went to Cass's uncles's house in the evening.
He cooked for all of us!! And dinner was great!
I loved his house, too bad I don't have the picture yet, there's plenty of rooms and the backyard looked cool =)
19 May Agreed to wake up early to catch the sunrise. By the way, did I mention that their sunrise is freaking early? It's at around 6.25am and sun sets early too, so by 6.30pm, all is dark already.
Supposed to meet at 6.20am for sunrise, then I felt tired, and decided to skip it. Then when I turned and faced the window, I saw the pretty light of dawn. So, I jumped out of bed and asked Teng if she wanna go now. =D
Sorry, used wrong photo mode, made it looked like sunset.

In case you didnt know, that's me.
Walking to Courtyard Hotel.

Early dinner was on Cass. Pancakes!
