Yah we got alot special guest :D
Together we meet at Gold Coast, yes its also part of Brisbane, Queensland :S
This is where we spend our night playing police and thief. Card game that involve narrator, police, thief, and resident. Everyone will close their eyes and the narrator start the story. Right after that, the thief will wake up and pick on someone to "kill". Next the police(detective) will pick on the thief. (the narrator will guide him/her - by saying yes or no to the detective choice). Then, everyone will wake up and the narrator will reveal the mystery. Either the resident being killed or the thief is being caught. Interesting game but need b to big group of people in order confuse everyone :D -The probability to guess the correct person is lower i guess ;)The concept is easy:
Police/Detective is to catch the Thief
Thief is to kill resident
Resident remain useless :P
Narrator tells story
Yes the service apartment is huge enough to accommodate 9 people.
The view from the apartment balcony is breathtaking. Listening to the wave. Lying next to the bridge right in the middle of the night :D wow. faints. Unfortunately, its winter. Someone find it breezy, comfortable and cozy. But i find it difficult to breathe .... hahahah i like cold but i can't stand the coldness. Shiver Shiver Shivering Cold. Just like the situation, i like to eat spicy food but i will sweat more than i run on the field for 2 hours.
It takes only 3 minute walk from the apartment door down to the beach. The apartment is just next to the beach.
If i am not mistaken this apartment is located at Broadbeach. So many types of beach along the whole stretch of Gold Coast beach. When i asked my friend what is nice/fun at Gold coast. The answer is Beach beach beaCh. Now i know why ;)
Walk all the way down then will came across what we are familiar with. Surfer Paradise.
Seriously i dont see any tower beside the beach. There is no lifeguard. If you drown, thats the end of your life. But i saw alot of red flag which shows that the beach is not suitable to swim or play around with.
Indeed very Broad.
Date: July 15th 2008
Place: Seaworld, Gold Coast.
Weather: Rainy day.
When, weather forecast says its going to rain, you better believe it. Its very accurate. When it rains, it going to be one whole day. As such, we decided to start our journey at Seaworld. ( haha Its ok even if we get wet there :S ) Rest early and prepare for tomorrow.
Rainy Rainy day. We have got no choice, we bought ticket for 3 park. We only have 4 days there. Tentative plan 1 Park 1 Day. The only thing that we can do is to decide which Park to go on rainy days. Heheh. Sea and Water and Rain very much related.. So its 'ok' even if we are wet. Lucky thing nobody fall sick. Gogogo Seaworld. Everyone is with hoodie and cover the head with that little cap :S
Its not cool enough to take a newspaper to cover for the whole day. And we do not carry umbrella with us.. No choice, wet-wet la..
If you enlarge the picture, the pricing for the park entrance is there. If i am not mistaken. On average, each park cost about 50 AUD. OMG - god knows the economy will crash. That time i went i am spending on 3.12 rate and Now 2.40 (same as Singapore). Alot difference Ok.
Quickly rush to the first show, Fish Detective Sea Lion Show. 
The pelican look so plastic :S
It feels very much like the cowboy show where people jump from buildings and random gunshot that scared the hell out of the audience. The difference is just that in this show, no gunshot, no suicide, but Random Sea Lion popping out from all the holes . Even from the sardine hole on the right hand corner. They actually send the Sea Lion into the hole and process into can. -.-" hahahahah lame
Fish Detective aka Sea Lion :) Very interesting to see animals that understand human language. I wonder how they train the Sea Lion until they can make a show out from it.
Sesame Street Beach 'new' attraction -.-"Its meant for kids. Cookie Monster and Elmo. I remember once my friend bought me an Elmo Jelly cake for my birthday. :D
Cookie Monster and Elmo.
Kai Jun, Mei Yeen, Xw
Very kiddy type of environment. Even the rides also looks so retarded. We approach this ride call Big Dive. No, we don't jump from top of building to simulate diving. I told you earlier, this park is meant for kids. -.-"
Whoa, Sesame Street Big Dive.
Big Dive is very much the not-so-thrilling version of Solero Shot(Genting)/Batman return(Movie World)/The Giant Drop (DreamWorld). The huge rope in the middle is for the person to drag themselve up the the top of the pole.
This is when everyone is laughing. You goota hold the rope so that you wont fall down. Purpose is to look at the scenery from top view. But the objective of the rope is for the person to control the level of free fall. Hold-n-let-go will give u jerking drop. Let go all at once will makes you drop like potato. Thanks to the good suspension, we dont actually drop till the bottom of the floor. Otherwise i could have broken my backbone. :D
This is the view from the top of *Big Dive*
They look at us as if we are the animal in the zoo :D
Another view from the top of *Big Dive*Next, we proceed to more thrilling rides after the warm up session from Big Dive. Wow.
We have got Pirate and CorkScrew.
We have got Pirate and CorkScrew.
This bridge that link to both rides (CorkScrew and Pirate) looks really old. I think they should invest some money to clean the algae and moles from the surface layer of the bridge. We cross the river safely and we came to the ride call Pirate. The Ship that move left and right in 180 degree movement. My stomach get upset right after that Pirate ride. Ok soon after we proceed to the CorkScrew.
This ride is even older than me. Is it safe?
80% similarity to what we have here at Genting Highland. Rainy day, luckily the roller coaster didn't slip off from the track.
Turn around and around as if i'm in the washing machine. Well, at least dont have much of the gravity fall that makes people shout until out of breathe. I wanted to go on the rides but i am afraid of free fall. Its too much for my heart to take. This is the reason why i dont like The Giant Drop* geezzz.
Polar Bear. Lonely Bear. Guess what is the colour of polar bear fur? Its not what you see :DGoogle will have the answer for u :S
I did not superimpose my picture to the seat. I have no idea why i just happen to glow in this picture. The reflection of light? White colour? So Bright? Mueahahah we now enter the real Seaworld. A visit to the underground aquarium. This is so much better than Aquaria KLCC.
They have lots of Starfish sample for the visitor to feel the surface of the Fish. How come this Fish doesn't have eyes?
Mini StarFish
There is a human in the cage surrounded by the fish. If i am not mistaken the person actually went down the water to feed the fish.
The sharks looks like a balloon.
Bloated Shark Baloon. heheheh. This reminds me of the show call TheShark. Did you know that shark is afraid of Dolphin? In the sea full of shark, you will more likely to stay alive if there is a dolphin with you!! Proven and tested by MythBuster.
This is the ugly looking creature that used to eat alot at the Malay Store nearby my office. The Stingray. 
They have 4D show in all the themepark. Each with different theme. 
Everyone looks very much like a robot with that 4D spec. Mei Yeen, Rachel, Kai Jun.
We proceed to the last attraction. Imagine Dolphin Show. They spent so much time to train up the dolphins. This is the show that i enjoy the most. Fasinating, exciting, and entertaining.
Our Best Friend Dolphins.
Shin Haur, Eugene,Wei Han, Siao Yen, Rachel, MeiYeen.
From the end of the SeaWorld we took the Mini Cable car back to the entrance of the SeaWorld.
Queue up 3 person in each cable car unit.
We miss this show early of the day. Catch the last show of the day. Start at 4pm.WaterSki WipeOut.
Very interesting show.
That conclude our journey in the first world. SeaWorld.I might have miss out alot details and attraction such as dugong discoveries, penguin point, water park and bermuda triangle. I goota rush this entry as i will be leaving to Penang with a group of Monash Friends. Long Lost Friend. :D
I'll be away for 3 days and by the time i come back, it will be the end of the year already. I still have alot things to post up but i can't seems to find time to do so. Each and every entry with pictures uploaded will take me more than 2 hours to complete.
31st Dec There is a mini concert at One Utama to conclude the year of 2008.
Just before that i hope i will be able to put up at least 3 more post regarding Christmas, Food, and 2008 Journey.
Till then :)
