22 Mar 08 - 2nd day of Holiday - Gold Coast

Suppose to set off by 0900 this morning but we only woke up at 0900 this morning haha =D

Nick, Brown and Sherman had planned to go Wet & Wild at Gold Coast today. Leaving me and my Baobei to decide where to go so I took the Gold Coast map which I've gotten during my parents stay with us from West End apartment. Today I'm not driving at all, sit behind ROC (relax one corner) while Nick and Sherman take turns to drive.

After reaching their fun land, they just zoom off leaving the car to me so we decided to go over to the Paradise Country to take a look since its just around the corner but then only reservation groups can enter so we head down to Surfers' Paradise instead.

Drove a long way as Baobei was not able to give me the directions as fast as I drove but still Baobei managed to get me there =) MUACKZ!! We parked in this $10/entry car park and took our little walk around Surfers' Paradise. It was not the first time there as during my parents' stay we actually went there once but I was not the one driving so... Well ok we decided to scare ourselves so we went into this Haunted House place and paid $23 each and went in... It was scary but still ok... Enjoyed though =D

After that we walked around did some shopping and then had lunch at Mcdonald's. I really hate the Mac here, they will just take your order and serve you your drinks and then "NEXT" so those waiting for their meals will be crowding around together with the Q just to wait for their food. When its ready, they will just shout "Big Mac any1?" then that person that ordered will just take from them. O right like no one will ever order something totally different from another person. Why can't they just do it like Singapore? Serve 1 at a time. And no sauce no nothing... AR!! forget it... they called and we were suppose to go pick them up by 1500 but as we were going to get the car, Baobei saw this farm animals so we went to take the pictures and they were so cute haha =D Sheeps, chickens, ducklings etc. By the time Baobei realized it was 1500 =S so we drove off back to Wet & Wild.

They took over the car and we set off for Harbor Town Shopping Center, I could see they like shopping there as they were carrying bags and bags, Baobei and I also bought things, just some clothes and gifts. I did not really bought anything much as the Nike Adidas did not really have things I wanted, the surfers shops also don't have my size.. its hard to get a  size 28 anywhere especially in such countries. Headed down to Surfers' Paradise to get Nick his things, had dinner there as well. I could see Baobei was tired after a long day but then they were just walking and walking non stop haha... Guys...

There were also fireworks there during our dinner and Baobei took some pictures and a video of it hehe =) well we would not be getting to see the NDP fireworks for the next 3 years so why not now.

After dinner we went to Timezone, yes, go inside to play games to relax myself and to win a prize for my Baobei. I did play my games and tried the machines to get the toys for Baobei but I did not manged to do so =( It was so disappointing for my Baobei =( Sorry!! I spent $30 there and got nothing. Hai!!

Drove back, the journey was faster than yesterday as it was only about 60Km compared to yesterday. Got to go and bath see ya =)
