The first event of the holiday is Movieworld!! The 4 of us, YingXuan, Tyng, Reina and I set off from college at 10am. We managed to borrow the car from my fren, Samantha (\^o^/). We arrived at Movieworld at 11am. First ride of the day was just a warm-up session. We went for the Batman Adventure Ride 2. It was just some motion stimulator. Next up was some roller coaster at the LooneyToons World. Finally, for the highlight of the day, we took the Superman Escape!! 0-100km/h in 2 secs. So fun!!! Watched Shrek 4D, broke for lunch. We wanted to watch the Police Academy Stunt Show, but unfortunately, it started raining. This also signelled the end of our Movieworld. As we still had quite alot of time on hand, we decided to drive to Surfers Paradise. Shopped for awhile and ate dinner, and the day was over, so we headed home to rest to prepare for Sunshine Coast the next day.
Woke up at 7.45am, had breakfast till 8.30am, and set off for Sunshine Coast. Drove for some time before arriving at the first stop, Ettamogah Pub. We took some photos and then headed to the strawberry fields for plucking of strawberries. Next stop was the Superbee Honey Factory, The Big Pineapple. We drove to Eumundi for lunch, which we had at a small family restaurant. The owners were very friendly people, and we even had a short chat with them. They also gave us directions to get to Glasshouse Mountains, and where to have a good view of the mountains and sunset. We reached the mountains at about 5.30pm, and we managed to catch a good view of the sun setting into the mountain ranges. Headed home as it was getting dark, and we stopped by at Taringa's Domino Pizza to get some pizza for dinner. Dinner was spent watching "Night at the Museum" and eating pizza.

Today was a "pig-out" day at Sunnybank. Tyng and I first arrived at Sunnybank to do her hair at this hairdresser called Shi Yue Lang. Ying Xuan and Chole joined us later at ard 1pm. We then headed to Lanmark restaurant for our lunch, which is Yum Cha! After yum cha, we shopped ard at the various supermarkets and even bought a box of mooncake for the mid autumn festival (on the 25th Sept). We then headed to 圆圆糖水铺 for 豆花. After having dessert, we went to 新马餐厅 for dinner. The girls shared 2 dishes while I had the dry curry chicken & pork noodle. It was nice, but damn spicy. Headed home after dinner. What a tiring but fun day out at Sunnybank!!! And... badminton tmr again!

Had a group discussion for my HOSP3001 course today at the Fryer library. It was quite a fruitful discussion as we managed to come up with the entire structure of the essay in that short 2 hr span. Here's a photo of me and my group mates. From the left is Rym (from Kuwait), Samantha (a fellow Singaporean), Grace and Myself.
And... Tmr is yum cha!!! Hope can post some nice pictures of the food, that is if I managed to capture any. If too hungry, can forget abt the pictures la... LOL
And looking forward to the mid-sem break. It wil be Sunshine Coast, Movie World and Dreamworld tentatively.

Just started watching this Japanese drama, Proposal Daisakusen by Yamapi and Nagasawa Masami. And I simply love the theme song in the drama. The title of the song is 明日晴れるかな (Ashita Hareru kana).
明日晴れるかな (ashita hareru ka na) 桑田佳祐 (Kuwata Keisuke)
熱い涙や恋の叫びも atsui namida ya koi no sakebi mo The hot tears and the cry of love
輝ける日はどこへ消えたの kagayakeru hi wa doko e kieta no? Where have those glorious days gone?
明日もあてなき道を彷徨うなら asu mo ate na kimichi wo samayou nara If tomorrow as well we wander off the road to our goal
これ以上元には戻れない kore ijou moto ni wa modorenai From now on there is no turning back
耳を澄ませば心の声は mimi wo sumaseba kokoro no koe wa If I listen carefully, the voice of my heart
僕に何を語り掛けるだろう boku ni nani wo katari kakeru darou what would it have to tell me?
今迷う汚れた街の片隅にいて ima mayou nureta machi no katasu ni ite Though I stand in this lost wet corner of the town
あの頃の空を想うたびに ano koro no sora wo omou tabi ni That sky back then, I'll remember everytime
神より賜えし孤独や trouble kami yori tamaeshi kodoku ya trouble Loneliness and troubles bestowed upon us from God
泣きたい時は泣きなよ nakitai toki wa nakina yo Just make us cry when we desire to
これが運命でしょうか kore ga sadame deshou ka? Is this my fate?
あきらめようか akirameyou ka? Should I give up?
季節は巡る魔法のように kisetsu wa meguru mahou no you ni The seasons return just like magic
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Oh baby no maybe
愛失くして 情も無い 'ai' nakushite 'jou' mo nai? Without "love" there is no "passion" either
嘆くようなフリ nageku you na furi Free to grieve about it
世の中のせいににするだけ yo no naka no seini suru dake For it is the consequence of society
Oh baby you're maybe..
哀失くして 楽は無い 'ai' nakushite 'raku' wa nai Without "love" there is no "comfort"
幸せのFeeling shiawase no feeling The feeling of happiness
抱きしめて One more time dakishimete one more time Embrace it one more time
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
或りし日の己れを愛するために arishihi no onore wo ai suru tame ni For the sake of loving your past self
思い出は美しくあるのさ omoide wa utsukushiku aru no sa Recall on the beautiful memories that you have
遠い過去よりまだ見ぬ人生は tooi kako yori mada minu jinsei wa More than the faraway past, the life that has yet to unfold
夢ひとつ叶えるためにある yume hitotsu kanaeru tame ni aru Exists to make that one dream come true
奇跡のドアを開けるのは誰 kiseki no doa wo akeru no wa dare? Who will open the door of the miracle?
微笑みよ もう一度だけ hohoemi wo mou ichi do dake Smile, just once more
君は気づくでしょうか kimi wa kizuku deshou ka? Have you realized it yet?
その鍵はもう sono kagi wa mou That key is already
君の手のひらの上に kimi no te no hira no ue ni On the palm of your hand
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Why baby oh tell me
愛失くして 憎も無い 'ai' nakushite 'zouo' mo nai Without "love" there is no "hate" either
見て見ないようなフリ mite minai you na furi Free to not foresee
その身を守るため sono mi wo mamoru tame In order to protect that somebody
Oh baby you're maybe
もう少しの勝負じゃない mou sukoshi no shoubu ja nai It is not just a little game
くじけそうな Feeling kujikesou na feeling This broken feeling
乗り越えて One more chance norikoete one more chance I will overcome it for one more chance
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
I talk to myself
Oh baby, no maybe
愛失くして 憎も無い 'ai' nakushite 'jou' mo nai? Without "love" there is no "passion" either
嘆くようなフリ nageku you na furi Free to grieve about it
残るのは後悔だけ nokoru no wa koukai dake What is left are only regrets
Oh baby smile baby
その生命は永遠じゃない sono inochi wa towa ja nai Life is not forever
誰もがひとりひとり胸の中で daremo ga hitori hitori mune no naka de Everyone, one by one, whispers to themselves
そっと囁いているよ sotto sasayaiteiru yo Softly in their hearts
明日（あした）晴れるかな～ ashita hareru ka na?" Will it be fine tomorrow?"
遥か空の下～ haruka sora no shita... Underneath the distant sky...

Went to play badminton this morning, together with Reina and Ying Xuan. We went to the UQ social badminton organised by the UQ badminton club. We arrived at about 9.30am, and we played till 12.30pm. Played quite a few games, with each game lasting 21 points. Had been ages since I played badminton, so it took quite a while for me to get used to the game. However, it was fun but tiring, and I think I will be going more often. (:

Today was Riverfire, which is an annual firework spectacular held on the Brisbane river. I went with Grace, Ida, Ying Xuan, Tyng, Reina and Chloe to South Bank, which is one of the vantage points to view the fireworks. We were there since 4+pm, but the place is already filled with people. After a hard time finding a suitable place, we finally managed to find one. To kill the time, we played cards and chatted. The deafening power of the Royal Australia Airforce F1-11 jets signalled the start of 30mins of fireworks. Here are some pictures of the firework as well the the group.
