Travelette : Goodbye Brisbane!

Hello there!
I'm practically blogging on my flight back from Brisbane right now *dramatic sighs
This holiday had been amazing.
Clear skies, perfect weather, great shopping, wonderful host and hostess. 
And I'm blessed, really, to even be able to travel all the way to Australia.
The people in Brisbane are awfully nice. Making the trip even more pleasant!
They were ever smiling at almost every passerby and calling out pleasant greetings.
Oh the bliss.

The view from above my plane I superb so I figured that I should at least take a few snapshots.


Gold Coast's beautiful coastline as we depart Brisbane.


The clouds are like candy floss! If only I can have a carpet like this!

Last but not least, thank God for His faithfulness and His wonderful timing He had arranged for us throughout the whole holiday. 

Adios Brisbane! Till we meet again!



Selfie coming up,


Awfully sad to leave but happy that I had this great trip and my lovely family to be with throughout my holiday.

* thank you Paps and Ma for a great trip! And Gabriel for granting my hearts desire :D
Loves! x

Travelette : Day 7 in Brisbane

Not ready to leave just yet! But today is just as good as any other.

Our morning is wonderful. We took a trip down to a lovely beach on Coolangatta.
It is just like a cut out from magazines or calendars!
Tale a look at some shots I got.




The waters are blue, deep blue!

The cutest part are the Lovers Lock just like in the novels and movies.


How romantic! With no one but the sea to witness their undying love!


Say cheese! *winks


We also got the chance to rub our feet against the Australian sand!
The wind was breezy but the sun was burning hot. I got sunburn marks even though the weather was really cool.


Our afternoon was again spent at Harbourtown. Oh the joys of shopping!

Check out my lunch. Hahaha.
Burger Panini and chips. 


Another photo of us with Aunty Lynn and Uncle Stevens family.
Sadly it will be our last. *sobs!


We are grateful heaps and tons for the wonderful hospitality of our host, Uncle Steven, hostess, Aunty Lynn and their three wonderful children, Samuel, Sebastian and Simon.
They really went all out to make our holiday enjoyable and memorable! x

Travelette : Day 6 in Brisbane

How to I even describe this day!
My morning kicked off with a pleasant surprise.
We dropped by a shopping centre in Westfields.
It was huge.
And now for my surprise!
I was feeling giddy to get my hands on my beloved's latest album-Midnight Memories and the lovely debut perfume-Our Moment!
Little did I know my parents and brother had already got them for me when I was browsing for chocolates and stuff in Target.
They made me close my eyes and make a wish. Who knew?

I am truly hyped and grateful to them!


Next, we got off at Seaworld! It was wonderful!


We got a chance to watch the Spongebob Parade too!
Here are some snapshots!






We dropped by the Penguin Island to see the cute waddling penguins!


There's also a Dinosaur Island!




And....say hi Mr. Walrus!


The stunt jet ski show was awesome!



We got a lovely view from the cable car.



Another something new I saw was the polar bears!
They're huge. And super tall.
But they're adorable though!



The sharks and stingrays were a bomb too.




They were really close to the glass panels. Letting me catch a proper view of God's magnificent creations!

Next was the Dolphin Show at Imagine Cove. My favorite! Dolphins are just so kind and good natured.



* us having some fun at the Battle Boats. 
The game works like this. You fire your water cannons at people on the land and vice versa!
Got totally soaked after that!


The dinner for the night was splendid. Home cooked by Aunty Lynn, we had salmon with balsamic vinegar, curly fries, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes and duck sausages.
So sorry for the lack of photo! Was too excited to whip up the delicious meal! x

We are really blessed to have such wonderful host and hostess who practically prepared everything for us.
As my mum said, all we have to do was to play, eat and sleep! 
It's a wonderful holiday and I am really grateful for that!

Heading off to bed! Hope you're having a great time where ever you are!
Hoping to pop by Harbourtown again for some last minute shopping!

Travelette : Day 5

Today was a full day in Movie World!
And boy was I excited!
It was definitely a great experience and I met my love, Batman!


And Marilyn!


Just some photos to show you how the insides of Movie World looks like!



The Wild West Falls



Main Street Area


And I managed to visit the Justice League HQ!


One of the highlights of the day is the stunt show - FMX Overdrive!



The stunts were amazing!


I also did a little something I feel proud about! I slightly conquered my fear by taking a ride in the Wild West Falls!


Yay.

Anyways. The parade is also amazing.
There were several Looney Tunes characters parading down the Main Street. As well as a couple of the Justice League characters.



Flash, Wonderwoman, Supergirl and Green Lantern !


Scooby Doo


And his team...


* i love the little flowers you can always find around Brisbane (:

We also took a drive up Mt. Tambourine !
* I dozed off for a while but the scene is breathtaking! 
The meadows. The horses. Acres of vineyards and winery. Just like in the movies!



And the scenery from atop Mt. Tambourine.


Plus! A photo of our pizza feast at night!
Def different from Malaysias Pizza Hut and KFC!
Somehow less oily and more filling. Justsaying.



Anyways! Heading off to bed and preparing for a whole day in Seaworld tomorrow!
