I came back already! From Gold Coast or rather Brisbane :P
Had heaps of fun there. I wish that I can be there longer or some sort.
I enjoyed every moment there.. except when I had bad soar throat, phlegm and when I was unwell.
Why la during trips I fall sick? *sigh*
Anyway, hahaha lots of funny stories to tell!!! XD So excited!!!
We did lots of shopping!!! I bought clothes which people don't usually see me wear or won't believe that I'll wear.. Change of style ;) FINALLY!!! Hahahah!!! XD
Then then... I went ballistic in Movie World when I saw my lil BABIES!!! The looney tunes cartoon kids character soft toys!!! Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tazmanian Devil, Tweety Bird and PussyCat! WAH!!! *HUGZ tightly* Ok.. lots of ppl won't understand my facination for soft toys... I don't quite understand too.. but I grew up with them.. Hey, they are not only for myself.. it's for my children and grandchildren too :D My BABIESS!!!! I bought Sponge Bob soft toy from Dream World. HAHAHAH!!!
Yes, obviously we went to the themeparks... Dream World, Wet 'n' Wild & Movie World!
It was AWESOME! The rides were SCARY!!! Your heart can practically jump out from your throat or smtng. But it is FUN!!! :P that you'll go for some of the rides twice. Thrilling ;) I love Wet n wild rides. It's not as scary as roller coasters.. it's just so amazing! At first, I didn't plan to go for it because something came up, when I prayed soooo harddd that it would be delayed. hahah maybe some of you may have guessed what it is. Gals would know. Thank God that although it came, it wasn't much.. and I could still sit for some of the wet rides and enjoy myself!!! WAH! Oh oh.. we had 4 free tix for Dream world from my friend's friend (Shelley's friend - Theodore. Thanks MAN!). Amazing huh?! Expensive u know tix for each of these themeparks!!!
I love Gold Coast.. esp when it is at night, and when the city lights shine. Surfers Paradise is a perfect place to hang out during the night time!!! Beautiful!! Beside the beach.. the shops open.. awesome smell from restaurants... wah! There was a night market when we visited last Wed.
What else? Harbour Town there was WAY BIGGER than the one here. Lots of shop!!! Heaps of shopping to be done! I did get most of my clothes from there :) We went to Queens St as well. I'ts WAY bigger than rundle mall! It's like x5 of rundle street. LOL!
We went to visit University of Queensland! WAH TOO MUCH LAAA THIS UNI!!! No wonder it's super expensive. Their facilities - sports (eg. 5+ tennis court, 3 football fields... got more ok), each dept had a library, each department had their own building (eg. E&E Engineering, Mechanical, Mega Engineering, each had their own buildings), they have like a lil flea market in their uni!!! They have pharmacy, dentistary, clinics, gift shops, few food stalls... MY GOSH!!! EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE IS THERE. Like a lil town there.. maybe not lil.. BIG town of it's own. Everything there looks amazingly big and grand. My my my... that was the uni I almost went into! They have ferry transportation from city to uni and vice versa.. bus stations in the uni itself *pengsan*
oh oh.. The last night, we were heading to the airport... We were so glad that we were reaching.. We turned to the road that we thought would lead us to the airport... Lo and behold, further down the road after the turning, we saw a sign "WELCOME TO NEW SOUTH WALES". Our eyes were like O_O!!!!! WAH!!!!!!! We entered into another state!!!!! LOL!!! Yes yes, we were lost :P When we finally found our way and reached the airport, we were too late. However, thanK God that for awesome ppl who helped us... and got us a cheaper rate tix to return to Adelaide the next morning. Lots of drama happened la during that time.. but all went well.
It certainly was an adventure. We went for a lil window shopping after the drama/trauma of missing our flight, went to enjoy 'Hairspray' movie there and drove to Brisbane airport for our next flight. We slept in the airport until it was time :) Exciting huh? LOL!!
It is such an unforgettable trip. Seriously!! I will keep that movie tix forever to be reminded of our flight. LOL! We should have taken a pic of that signboard when we took that turning! Most of us were stressed during the situation.. but I think when we think about it again now, we'll laugh our heads off.
Yeah.. that certainly was an adventure :) I know it's hard to imagine it all through words that I've used to describe. I'll put on pics, hopefully soon (after collecting all pics from others as well) so that you guys will get a better pic of all the adventure that week.

My thoughts:
This camp would be a part of my memory which I wouldn't want to forget :)
Although I didn't get to meet lots of new people, the ones I knew became close to my heart & I know that I am not walking alone.
The ones that have been there, have always been there.
Looking forward to bless others as I've been blessed so much here!
God thank You for Your peace.. it was beyond what I thought I needed...
God thank You for the gals You've sent to me... it was beyond who I've expected...
God thank You for Your love for me... it's beyond comprehension.. but yet I need to truly understand & capture your grace + love for me once again
"God, continue to work in my heart & speak into my heart... as I learn more and more about You and Your character, who You are & who I should be for You"
