holiday

i'm beginning to feel out of touch.. out of many many things.. i think i've kept myself off blogging n even surfing the internet for a fair bit of time. leavin a lot of things undone.. sorry guyz, nothin for u guyz to read. not much interesting stuffs tho, altho much has happened. since the start of my holidays, i have been worrying about many many things.. some of those have been settled, such as results to my final 2 units, I MANAGED!! i'm graduating!! my parents seemed more okay with jacke now, altho not really approving of us stayin in the same room. jacke's parents came over, we went to Sydney with a group of frenz, namely Cara, Wilson, Ronald (who left for HK from Sydney halfway thru), Eric Ping and Allan. we rented 2 nissan x-trails, not bad a drive, it took an exceptionally long drive up north to Sydney. i couldn't take it to myself to drive above 140kmph, i have uncle n aunty in the car afterall.. we spent a few days up north, eating a lot of krispy kreme doughnuts, n meeting up with Ee-Feng, plus a few trips to the Star City casino. i did quite some shoppin there too, altho now they seemed to have disappeared! comin back down south, we stopped by Bright, only to be greeted by wet n rocky windy roads. it was cold, but it was fun, all of us sleeping in an ensuite cabin, 2 rooms n a bath+toilet. the days were rainy n wet, we couldn't even drive too fast.

my parents then came over on july 7th, my family (+ fred who joined us on our lovely trip) with jacke's family (- jacke's bro joseph who is in Manchester) went to the Phillip Island to the Penguin Parade, then the next day we set out south west to see the famous 12 Apostles (which one of the apostles recently fell, amounting only 8 left). from the 12 Apostles, erm... 8, jacke n his family went home as we continued up north n stayed at Hamilton. it's a nice town, i bought a pair of boots with a sheepskin sole. :P we then proceeded up north summore to the Grampians National Park. we only did see one aboriginal art site.. darn, forgot the name, but i do remember the drive thru the red muddy (dry mud) roads n the 1.6km walk ONE-WAY ONLY to see the art on a very big piece of stone. pictures later, yeah.. i'm vowing to go back to the Grampians Nat Park one day.. i wanna go see the MacKenzie Falls n the caves n all.. sigh..

then we came back to melbourne, got a day to go to Ballarat to Sovereign Hill, the gold mine museum. n the next day we went to Mt Buller. it was rather a hot day at Buller, as i saw a couple of guyz skiing with just t-shirts on. i should've taken the pictures.. n i almost got a sunburn, if not for all those sunblock i put on earlier in the morning. the view was spectacular...

tell u guyz maybe a bit later, n the pictures.. sorry yeah fred, u gotta wait a bit more for the pictures.. i seemed to have misplaced one 32mb memory card. :P well, cya LATER!

top 12 - I've just..

Top 12 - i've just..
  1. done up my blog in the past 2 hours, codes courtesy of Lena.
  2. thanked Lena for about 100th time (exaggerated, :P) then bidded her good night.
  3. came back from Crown Casino, winning about AUD170 today, total of AUD340 in the past few days.
  4. changed, washed my face n brushed my teeth 4 hours ago, n i'm still awake!
  5. took down n called Kz's new number in UK.
  6. scolded Sony for being super noisy while everyone's sleeping.
  7. listening to my baby JC snore ever so loudly.
  8. came back from Sydney, been there since monday 27/6, then to Bright on Thursday, came back friday.
  9. bought 5 boxes of KrispyKreme doughnuts from Sydney in which JC n i are sharing 2 boxes, n each box contains 12 doughnuts!!
  10. gained a bigger tummy n being called "Panda Bear" by JC.
  11. met up with Feng n had a very good time shopping with her, altho failed to get a pair boots for myself.
  12. bought a jacket for mQ which she quite liked from Sydney, n she quite liked it, so i was very happy.

it must seem very funny to have top 12s, i must admit i only wanted to write 10. oh well.. hehe oh yes, i saw the news today n it said dat one of the 12 Apostles along the western coast of Australia has collapsed due to environmental erosion. it's so sad to hear about it, since i'm gonna go see the apostles with 1 ruined in less than a week's time. the last collapse was 10 years ago, so i'd say it's gonna be a rather short time before all apostles collapse. well, i'll upload photos for u all lar.. mum n dad's gonna arrive 5th July, n Wz on 6th July. Lit @ Fred is gonna join our family for the trip, along with Jacke n his parents. we'll have loads of fun, really lookin forward to it.

muakz you guyz~
