My Brisbane trip. (Part One)

My trip to Brisbane was awesome! I love everything about it. The places there. The people there. Love every bit of it!

My flight was schedule at night. The whole flight took about 8 hours. Since familia and i were boarding the Singapore Airlines, we couldn't get much sleep. In fact i didn't sleep at all! I mean who could when there's your own personal tv right in front of you! There were all sorts of tv drama and even movie ranging from english to korean, and even to hindi films. I was definitely esctatic since apart from that there's also some video games too. So you can bet that i didn't catch a wink at all. Instead, i watched Step up and a few more others.

So anyway, once we alight, we took a coach and head on to check in to our apartment hotel. The journey was almost 3 hours! And once we checked in, all of us took a nap first. Never even sleep mah plus, jet lagged la. Hahha.

I can't resist putting up a few pics of our apartment hotel. It's really lovely and cosy.
Cool right? We have our own kitchen, washing machine and blah blah. The kitchen is even well-equipped!

Later that afternoon, we went to the beach. How i love the beautiful scenery there. The water's crystal clear and blue whereas the sand is bloody soft and smooth unlike Singapore(Oh please Sentosa doesn't even come close okay). Hee. When you step on it its as if you're stepping on silk! And no i'm not exaggerating!

Then there's the huge waves thats perfect for surfing but too bad i can't surf or neither do i swim. Yes, fascinating isn't it. But whatever it is la, the beach is just breathtaking. This is only the Coolangatta Beach. The Surfer Paradise Beach, which is much more popular with tourists, is much better than this one. In fact, there's much more other beaches.

Okay here's some snapshots of the beach and us while we were on the way there. We went to the beach for two days. One on day 1, and the other during Christmas when nothing's practically open excluding bars. =/ So you can see the difference in the sky colour.

The next day we went Surfer Paradise for shopping. The Cavill Mall there was like one whole stretch full of malls. We didn't even get to go to most of them cause we were running out of time since we came there around noon and the shops there all closes at five. Seriously, five? How are people ever gonna finish walking or shopping around there, that i don't even know. Then there's the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. We went inside the musuem. I'm gonna skip this part cause i'll put up all those pics we took inside on the part two of my Brisbane trip.

Initially there was a Carrara Market held every Sunday there. But sadly, we missed it cause we didn't know what time it starts and by the time we knew it, it was over. Most people say that the market is huge with lots of bargains stuffs. That was one of our big regrets la not being able to go and see it.

Then one of the days we went to this mall, Pacific Fair. I must say, the place is bloody gigantic! It's like 1o times the size of BPP. SERIOUSLY. I'm not kidding. Futhermore when we went there it was the post christmas sale and boxing day sale. So, EVERY-SINGLE-THING WAS ON SALE! Up to 70% discounts lah dey! But again regrettably, we had NO ENOUGH TIME! I mean like even if you go to every store they have there, one-whole-day-while-camping-there also is not even enough! You would at least need three straight days to shop there. Hahha. Really, i swear!

So what i can say is that if you got 10,000 bucks to spend or won a lottery or whatever that wants you to shop like crazy, that mall is the perfect place for you.
A shopping paradise for all shopaholics!
