*tumbleweed blows by since no one cares* (:

YAH YAH YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH =) 

Ive been working so much that I’m doing the max hours as a casual per week. Defs not complaining but I miss having a day off where I can go hang out with Mike. He works mon-sun 8am-8pm and by them time he gets home, he’s too tired to do anything. We haven’t been out for a little while and when the opportunity comes up, either one or both of us will have work early the next day so we don’t do too much. I just miss being so carefree and shopping and eating all day long and I miss spending afternoons with him :( sighhhh hopefully after Christmas everything will be less busy and less chaotic so we can go to the beach before it gets dark and go cut and eat lunch at nice places and have some fun! Since we got back from Queensland, it’s just been work work work!!! Ah how I’m dreading graduating next year and having to find a full time job. Dreading the thought of working 9-5 and not having days off. In short, I’m dreading growing up.

SO, After our last night at Meriton Apartments, we had scheduled to stay at the Mantra Legends. Upon arrival, we were given a dining pass for the seafood buffet in which we were to use later on during our stay. 

That first night, we had tickets to attend Movieworld’s FRIGHTNIGHT!!! The themepark is open from 6pm-11pm for those who purchased the ticket and it was absolutely freaking amazing. 
They changed the whole of the themepark to look haunted, and had all staff in makeup and attire. Zombies and Crazy clowns roamed the park as rides were operated by other zombies. IT WAS SO FREAKY. The area was smothered with mist/smoke and also packed with tb’s (my favourite!) -_-

 
Laughing hysterically as those two guys freaked the shit out of me but also cuz they called me over and fell on me once.. >_> LOLLLLLLLLLL 
 

After movieworld, we went to this random place in surfers to eat!! 
I had a mojito and discovered my dislike for crushed mint leaves in alcoholic beverages. I liked the drink, just dislike mint. By then it was already midnight so we headed back to the hotel to call it a day.

 The next day… OFF TO WET’N’WILD we Go! 
 
We spent from 11am till 5pm at WetNWild and only left because of an incident.. During a line-up for one of the rides, a young group of boys were in front of Mike and myself talking about how they spent their day spitting on people on rides and from the staircases. If you’ve ever been to wetnwild, you would know what im on about. There are staircases winding up to get to your rides and usually people will wait and walk all the way up just to slip down the ride to the bottom again. Anyway, these boys were having a mighty good time telling stories about the several victims they’ve managed to get and how they got away.

So, we get on the ride and 20secs before the ride ends, I notice the kid staring at me. Staring back and catching his attention, he FUCKING SPITS IN MY FACE. When I get off the ride, the first thing I said to Mike was, “That fucking little shit spat on me.” And Mike’s like ” I THOUGHT SO, SOME OF IT WENT ON MY FACE TOO!” so we get off and out of the ride and walk down, and see him PURPOSELY avoiding both me and Mike. He goes to line up again, and just before he gets there, Mike approaches him.
“Do you want to say anything us before you line up again?”
And he COMPLETELY denied it, and got really close to Mike (the IN-YOUR-FACE kinda close) so Mike pulled his top and told him to back off and to NEVER do it again. He pushed the kid slightly and the kid and his friends pretty much shat their pants. We walked off feeling pretty annoyed and wanted to continue the day ingorning it, until AFTER we had lunch.. his mum finds us and gives us a lecture about touching her kid.
ANYWAY, Mike was totally in the wrong for touching him (I know, I know) and the woman’s ONLY defence was ” WHY WOULD HE SPIT ON YOU? IDK YOU TELL ME? He’s an honest boy and they talk shit all the time so who cares what they say! He wouldn’t do that.” she compeltely contradicted herself the whole time and it was beginning to become a scene and so…. we gave up, got SO pissed off and left the theme park. FUCKING LITTLE SHIT RUINED OUR DAY (so far anway). 

 it just shits me that he had the nerve to LOOK ME IN MY EYES and THEN do it. He was lucky he didn’t get smashed by some other teenager, really.

His mum was just this FULL on bogan who was with her friend and it wasnt worth dealing with. By that point, (and even a little now when I think about it) I was just so upset, angry, and annoyed that I couldnt be stuffed talking about it.

We decided to do the Seafood buffet dinner that night so at the very least we did enjoy the rest of our day! The buffet was fairly nice, and had a nice range of food. I ATE SO MANY PRAWNS OMG!!!!!!!!! AND they had what I like to call “Tiffany&Co. Chairs” :) 
 

^ Tiffany&Co. chairs? I Think so! 

That night we just walked around Surfers until we were tired and bored and ate ice cream and yeahhhhhhhhh! Walked back to the hotel and packed up our things as we were gonna head home the next morning *sad* :( 

Driving and driving, and 11 hours later, we were back in Sydney and LUCKILY for us, our good ol’ friend arthur was in town and let us crash with him at the Formule 1 Hotel! Can’t complain when you have free accommodation and some one to share it with! :)

Early the next morning we headed out to Sydney Fish market and had the MOST AMAZING BREAKFAST YET.

Soft shell crab, Lobster Mornee, fresh oysters, deep fried calamari, Freshly sliced sashimi and lots and lots and lots of amazing seafood!!!!!!!!!!

and as per usual, I started playing with my food when I got full.. LMAO

After our adventures at the fish market, I went and swung by my brother’s places in Sydney and went and accompanied him to lunch :) Neither me or Mike ate anything, but he had his girlfriend up that weekend so it was nice double dating in Sydney!  

We arrived home in Melbourne at approximately 3.30am, and GUESS WHAT?
Not only did I do all the driving back from Sydney… I also had work at 10am at Doncaster. It was a Public Holiday so, really, I couldn’t complain. <3 
LOLLLLLLL !

Totally forgot to include this one in last night’s post: 
 

 The end !

Sydney and Queensland was nothing short from amazing. 
I can’t believe how quickly I went, and came back.
Cannot even get my head around the fact that it was exactly 1 month ago.

This is a belated post with PICTURES (yay!) Of my trip. :)
Read along, go on, I know you’re bored :P

 
Upon arriving at Sydney at approximately 3pm, after checking into our hotel, we returned to the car and noticed the… hmm.. interesting decal ? lol!! 
Nevetheless, It took a lot of scrubbing and rinising to clear, and it was kind of sickening to look at..

 
 Our first dinner in Sydney was at the food court of STAR CITY CASINO! 
Not only was the food EXTREMELY AMAZING, it was FRESH, it was reasonably priced, and it was SUPER SATISFYING. I know this isnt the most flattering shot of Mike, but the food was ahw-mah-gawddd so good! (Probably since we were starved..??)

We went passed Adriano Zumbo and saw the amazing display of macaroons and delish little treats in which we ‘ceebed’ lining up for to a) enter the store and b)pay for the merchandise. We said we would return, but never got the chance to. My first regret of the whole trip!! 

Day 2 of Sydney consisted of lots of eating, tourist-y type activities, and walking. I remembered to wear some comfy shoes because we walked to Darling Harbour, and through Hyde Park. We walked from one end all through to the aquarium and back that day. Early in the morning, we passed this super amazingly cute ChowChow! (I’VE ONLY SEEN THEM ON TUMBLR, FIRST TIME TO SEE IN REAL LIFE !!!) 

I
I understand how lame and ugly this picture is, but it really is the only actual tourist-type photo we have LOL!! 

All around Sydney Aquarium they had these lego statues which were VERY COOL to me at first.. until I got used to them LOL! Call me a deprived child, but they were so super amazing! 

We discovered a Guylian Chocolate Cafe where we spent almost $50 buying chocolate, dessert and drinks. I would honestly say it’s not as good as Lindt cafe, but it comes close. 

During this trip, as long as I could eat it, I would. Sushi, sushi packs, sushi rolls, bentos and everything deliciously salmon-looking, it would be devoured. 

We shopped around the Westfield in Sydney and did some shopping for the next day’s road trip. I made a quick trip to Zara and got some shorts :)

Discovered a re-invented starbucks called “TOM N TOM” which was kind of strange.. :/

And finished the night off by going to the event cinemas around the corner from out Hotel and watched Crazy Stupid Love for the first time!! We had dinner at a local Bistro which ended up being pretty darned good. Every meal we had was good cuz we were usually pretty hungry by the time we decided of a place to go to and eat LOL! 

Farewell Sydney, I’ll see you again in a couple of days! 

We got to Broadbeach by 6am the following day, and crashed out in the car as we were too early for any kind of checking in ! A quick nap, breakfast and securing our check in were major events of the day. We also went to the beach and tanned for a few short minutes before realising we were going to sleep on the sand since we were so tired from driving the night before. We pretty much took it easy and made dinner in the apartment that night. We stayed at the Meriton and it was … in short? Amazing. 

Bed, TV, Ocean Views, Private Balcony, Air Con, clean suites, fresh towels daily, Pool, Gym, Sauna, Spa and restaurants all on ground level. We luckily got floor 17 and the views were breathtaking. Even though we stayed 3 short nights, we milked the shit out of the utlities they provided and were so happy with the place. Mike cooked and cleaned most nights (loljks i wish) BUT he did have to wake up at night to turn off the a/c which is permanently his job LOL! 

Our stay in broadbeach consisted mainly of shopping at Pacific Fair, eating at home, swimming in the pool and long walks on the beach *laughs* im totally joking, but we did spend a lot of time just taking it in, and taking a couple of hours to wind down and relax.

And thanks again to everyone who made me an owner of an iPad possible :) Without it, I think my trip wouldn’t have been the same!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking a tad douchey but nevertheless, our first dinner in Broadbeach, and an amazing one at that! 

The next day we decided to head out to Biggera Waters which is like their Moorabin DFO??? We spent a shit load of money buying things, probably unnecessary things but Mike fell in love with the Nike Factory outlet there and could not resist buying lots of things. :| I was … nah .. forget it. I was gonna say I was slightly more controlled but I really wasnt! We were at Pacific Fair earlier that day and I bought a couple of tops and 2 pairs of shoes!! So not really fair to say I controlled myself when I didnt really even try.

It was actually our 3 Year Anniversary that day so we went out for dinner :) 
We went to the Sushi Train which was 5 mins walk from our apartment complex and I have never tasted anything so amazing.

Since we rocked up a little late, they urged us to make final orders. As we ordered, the chef made each individual thing right infront of us and served it. IT WAS SO FRESH AND DELICIOUS, I cant even find the vocab to describe it! 

Earlier that day, Mike suprised me with Cake and a Pandora charm which I had already mentioned in a previous blog about our funny conversation hahahah! 

It was really an amazing way to spend our 3 Year Anniversary together and it just goes to show how far we’ve come since we met!! :P  

Dinner on night 3 was made predominately by Mike. He can actually cook, but cleaning might not be his forte hahahahahha!! 

I might leave it there and finish this blog later with pics and snaps of my stay at Surfers Paradise! Basically theme parks, and a shittier Hotel! LOL!
