2nd part

here's the 2nd part of my holidays.

as i said earlier, i had 2 group of friends, from canberra and brisbane. this entry will be about my friends from brisbane, the shins: shin wee, shin yee, alysia?, and joan. shin wee and shin yee are sisters. to avoid confusion, we just call them chingy, heh.

i met them at the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) in the city. that place would turn out to be the hq for them cos' they would meet there everytime, haha. we hang-kied for around that area while waiting for my cousin and corinne to come.

me and shin yee at QVB.
QVB is a high class shopping centre, all the stuff there are sooo expensive.
just to see only, can't buy.

after meeting them, i took them to this Malaysian place for lunch. this place served food which has the closest authenticity to the food back home. staying in aus for half a year now has lowered our chilli powers, cos' ppl here hardly eat spicy food. this proved to be true when shin yee couldn't tahan the chilli on the cha kuey teow. speaking about chilli, drinking milk can definitely neutralize the heat in your mouth, seriously! and speaking about milk, try drinking it with honey, Mmm. hahah, i'm writing off the point now.

from left: corinne, pat, me shin wee and shin yee.

on the right table is: cha kuey teow and hokkien chow mien.

after lunch, we headed of to my uni. i don't know but everytime i take visitors to my uni, it will always be cloudy and dull, aih.. can't it be sunny for once??

notice the sky, so gloomy.



i don't know these people.

then after the next few days, we went to this casino, Star City. this is the first time the tourists visited that casino. after studying here for 1 1/2 years, this was my first time also : / haha. i had to bring my passport along to prove that i was 18 ++. abit dangerous lah, carrying your passport around. i could have used a prove of age card but i haven't made it yet.

the next day, we went to the Hillsong night rally. there were 2 services, 5pm and 7pm. we decided to go for the 5pm one, but the line was freakin long man. so we waited for the 7pm. there were large chess and checker boards, so while waiting the girls played a few rounds. the service this year around was different from the previous years, the sermon was longer than praise and woship. but overall it was great. although we sat behind the stage, i was thankful that we even managed to get in.

after their trip here, the chingys, joan and alysia left for melbourne. had a great time with them, esp making lame jokes, haha.
