Blog: My QLD Trip

walking and surfing at the same time - that right ther just defies all science - like walking on water or something.

Which also reminds me.

A lady at work was chatting with another lady one of them asked the other what time it was, the other responded - I don't know, I don't have my phone.

At first it really didnt bother me, but the more I thought of it, the more it irked me.

Telling time with the phone? Whatever happened to just wearing a wristwatch?

That reminded me of a comic few days ago.
 
Well at least its based on real life irkiness (is that even a word?)
 
Have a great time in Qld, Jake! Hope the weather is much nicer there.

I will go over to Townsville next Saturday and stay there for a week. I am looking forward to it. Whoo hoo! :dance2:

Whatever happened to the clock on the wall?? LOL
 
Well, yesterday was just a casual day - went to do some food shopping, I bought some PSP movies for ten dollars each and some assecories for it. Went to see a deaf friend, was good. Not much though, really. But, dreamworld today!

Will update later,

Until then, Ad'ers
 
Jolie, I couldn't take a photo of the view in Sydney, but I believe it is for 'eyes only' but the view on both cities was absolesultey (sp?) breathtaking, but when I arrived in Gold Coast, the city there was really awesome since the sun was setting upon arrival.

Aw, Bummer! Couldn't you sneak in and take a picture on the way back home? LOL. :P

It sounds like you are having a wonderful time in QLD. Enjoy yourself as much as you can and oh also, yeah - Coca Colas or any soda pops are free if you are in a bar (that has alcohols) They do that here in USA too. They also do that for designated drivers as well.
 
Enjoy!

It was an awesome day today at dreamworld!

Now, tell you what? I will tell you right from the beginning and in the end, I will promise you that you will be laughing out loud when you read this.

We went down to Gold coast from Ispwich (west or near brisbane) which is around 40 minute drive, we picked up one of my friends brother, Pat. We arrived there, (I thought I would expect not a lot there but unfortunately, there was a lot of people who went which was good)

We all went to the very first ride of the way, which is called the 'The Giant Drop' - here is the image of an example below:

giantdrop_pic01.jpg


This ride takes you to the top of the very tall tower and remains there for a minute or two, and drops unexpectedly and it was very fast. On my first ride, (and my first time, I chickened out 6 years ago!) and you know what, when I saw the photo - it looked like that I swore! I was like in the photo "...F - F...." I couldn't even finish the word but in the end, it was an awesome ride.

We went over to the motocross ride - example below:

It was a boring ride, a bit slow, didn't like it. That goes to the other ride we went on the other caiied Rugrats raptor -*yawn* boring *cough*

And then after that, we all went onto Wipeout, where it turns over and upside down and whatnot. I was chickened out of that ride 6 years ago as well - below is the image of an example :

It was alright but a little scary when I see the bottom of the ground, :eek3:

But I forgot to mention before the wipeout ride, we all went on a logride - photo will be shown when I return home back in Canberra.

Then we all headed over to the #1 favourite of mine, in modern times such as today - The claw! Example:

Dreamworld_TheClaw_logo.jpg


At first, I was screaming, but it was awesome! It it like your hyporcriting someone, that's how the structure does to go back and forth - sweet!

And we headed off to one of my old #1 favourite which was 6 years ago but it is now at #2, which is 'Tower of terror!' It sounds like a plane taking off and it goes up to 160km/hr (not sure how much in miles though) from the start and it speeds up right to the tallest tower (where it shares with the giant drop as well)

It was awesome still and brings me the good memories back then. This is what itis like:

When it was finished, I had a look at the photo, and I bought it in a keyring with the photo as it was only close to $16 for two. Sweet! I gave one to my friend who was in the ride.

Then we checked out the tigers. And forgot to mention that, before the Tower of terror, we went to have lunch, I had "sponge Bob" pack which is mini pizza (ham and pineapple - hawaiian) with smal chips and a large coca cola (Yeah, Jolie!) and we ended up watching a girl getting slimed! :lol:

After we checked the tigers, we went on the cyclone which is a rollercoaster with two loops! It was fast a little bit scary.

So me and my friend went back on the claw for the second time, I was wiggling like a octpus when the thing went up high in the air! :lol:

But here is the funny part - when we went back for another ride on Tower of terror, after that ride was riden, we discovered that after the photo shoot, a dude behind us, held up a small card or a photo of something which is impossible to see closer, when the photo shoot was taken - the dude got in trouble for it! :lol: and guess what? After he was asked to get off, we all including us got a free ride! Awesome!

After that, we checked out the photos, it turned out I bought the good photo witht the dude posting the card in the photo :rofl: Yep, I bought another photo of the same ride, but in big size. I will show you when I get home.

We went onto the last ride of the day, which was the big drop where we wanted to get the best photo but it was a good ride at the second time -i the photo turned out bad so we bought the one was taken in the morning instead.

And that was the day that ended witha beautiful pink sunset along the way home with pit stop to baskin and robbins ice cream store!

What a wicked day!! I will post the photos upon return from my vacation, sorry ladies but I'm sure that you all enjoyed reading the long blog of the day!

We are going to Surfers Paradaise (city) in Gold Coast tomorrow.

Until then...
 
Sorry I didnt read all your thread or posts... When you will be back home from vacation :D
 
OK - it is a little bit difficult for me to write and update the blog on my sidekick, I am on ly laptop right now for few minutes. I will just quickily update this.

I went to the surfers paradiase City today, and we all grabbed lunch when we arrived there, and we went to these small rides, I went to the 'Vomatron" ride, it was good, bit scary though but I got a photo too!

Later, we went to bowling, I assumed that I would win but fortunately, I did, and I told my friend so! First game 109 points and the second 180! Whoo, I beat the girls, :rofl:

then we went to the old times photos where we dress up as cowboys and taken by the professionals, the photos are awesome!

I will show you the photos when I get back, I promise that they the good ones! :lol:

I will up date when I return.

See you all next week!
