alritey. am really rested. haha. almost 12 hrs!! ugh. can't believe myself. i woke up at 8.30 initially but thought i'll sleep 1 hour more and ended up waking up at 12.15. well well. wat to do.
anyway ahh i just forgot wat i was going to say. it was something about australia though. hums. ohh!! yes sydney opera house. it isn't that wonderful really, i think esplanade is more impressive. esp the concert hall. sydney opera hse's concert hall isn't very awe-inspiring. it was quite funny though when the 2nd half started and the orchestra players all came out wearing tinsel/attaching tinsel to various parts of their instruments, and the lady behind us exclaimed very loudly between chuckles "they're being rather silly!" haha. the soprano was awesome though. first time i've ever heard actually. but yeah. wow.
and i'm so sorry to admit to abusing one of the wombats at the featherdale wildlife park to make it come out. i felt quite bad about it lar. but i really wanted to see it walk around! gah. and it still didn't come out of its hole. so i guess we din do it much harm. fat lazy things. they're supposed to graze in the day quite often even though they're nocturnal. but the echidnas were really cute though haha waddle around like sea slugs on the seabed. okay that doesn't sound v nice but when my bro sends it over to me everyone will see wat i mean.
and the koala that had bad aiming! haha. it was feeding time so the koalas were scrambling towards the eucalyptus leaves.. and one of them, when jumping from one branch to another, almost fell over. quite funny:p
saw a lot of amazing things there. mostly animal-related though haha. i should go do something related to animals huh. my dad was saying last yr i was so enchanted by the dolphins at siegfried n roy's secret garden that i wanted to bring one home, and now i want to bring a wombat home. haha. but it's so cute and fat. wish i'd been able to see a platypus though. we did get to see it in the movie but it's different when it's right in front of your face i guess.
lemme see. yes. the cow which tricked me into walking into a cobweb. the farmstay! so i was standing on the verandah and then suddenly this cow which was grazing looked up and stared at me. so i wanted to walk closer and stare at it and then ended up walking into a cobweb. grr.
and feeding the farm animals! haha. hungry cows galloping was hilarious. my brother couldn't stop laughing at their greediness. and was so appalled when the big bull licked his hand. and then brucie the pig who put her two front feet into the food trough while eating. (and then this lady who was watching told her husband "don't talk to me abt table manners nxt time!") and then brucie somehow ended up losing her balance/decided to lie down and overturned the food trough (its round-bottomed, made up of a barrel cut longitudinally) so the food spilled onto the ground.
i saw alpacas! pity they were shaved the day before we arrived though. i have a pillow at home which is made from their wool/fur/watever u call it. bought frm vegas last yr.
umm. oh i really liked the house tt we stayed on at the farm. it's so tastefully decorated. maybe cos its new.. 1 yr old only. but i got the pink room! haha. took lots of photos of the rooms cos they're all colour-themed, really pretty:) and it so happens the pink room had a queen bed so i got the whole bed to myself. but the other rooms had queen beds too lar so not much diff anyway.
the only problem was the abundance of insects around. in the houses and outside. so many flies!! ugh. got so annoyed. dirty things. and i've gone off horse-riding a bit. maybe cos i forgot most of wat i learnt last time.. got to take lessons again maybe. or maybe need the correct footwear haha.
okay i better hurry up with my uni app forms.
alright. am back. and really tired. i woke up at the singapore equivalent of 5am. augh. and watched like 3 movies in a row on the plane. SIA movie selection is really good.. plus the music.. u'll never be bored.. but not good for eyes yeah.
christine's house is so so so nice!! can compare with denise's liao. just that she doesn't have a pool table haha
i dun think my brain is working v well at the moment so i shan't attempt to say much abt my trip. besides the fact tt i'm sick of hot sun and looong drives. and that it's so fun seeing kangaroos on the road! haha. and i always appreciate spore much better aft holidays abroad heh. and it was hilarious with my crazy bro around. nobody'd believe he's 22 and i'm 18. even i don't believe it most of the time.
anyway, since serene so kindly reminded me, here is the story of the emergency lever. which i don't doubt she has told most of the world, seeing that I always find out about how she's told the whole world various events which I don't remember telling many pple.
check-in counter
guy asks my mom : how old is ur daughter?
mom : 18? why?
guy : oh.. its okay.. underaged children aren't supposed to sit next to the emergency door
mom starts getting worried : 18 isn't underage rite?
guy laughs : no.. its just that some stewardesses don't allow.. they're afraid they (children) will play with the lever..
i'm in a state of disbelief and shock. sarcastically : rite.. so i'm going to start playing with the lever later..
when i'm more free i will type more quotes. like how my bro was so fascinated by the accent that hong kong pple have when they speak english. esp the guy who was explaining opals to us.
