BRISBAnE brisBAne~~

Hi All,

First of all, sorry for the turn down of "The Happening" and yet nothing happened much. In fact, nothing happened at all in this blog. lol. till now.

I am now in Brisbane. Trying to enjoy through my graduation trip sponsored by my Dad. Im staying with my aunt at the moment. Its good when you've someone to cover the living expenses for you. ^^

Brunei Airport Departure Hall

Now, here's the on air experience through Brunei Airlines. It was cool for first timer like me. I actually sitted beside a guy named, Jonathan from KK. Wow, He looks so familiar like Kok How from St Columba. It was nice sitting with him. He's Studying in Auckland and doing his final Semester. It wasn't Long until i realize my TV is not working. T.T sad. so i changed sitting to a Retired lady named Vicky Wee from Auckland. She had a long flight from Filipine to Brunei, to Brisbane then transit again finally to Auckland. We sitted just 2 rows away from the lavatory. While she's up and waiting for her turn, She actually fainted. That time, everyone was pretty much asleep or concentrating on the TV infront of their seats, So am I as well. Then, a lady from London came over and inform me that my mother has fainted. So after that, I got to take good care of this lady as she sit next to me. Nothing much. Just some talking and luggage carrying when we arrive in Brisbane. So how i feel about this? Happy! Yay~~ At least i didnt wasted 6 and half hours on the plane for nothing meaningful.
When i arrive, my aunt and uncle was actually a bit late to fetch me. and in Au, Shop open at 8.00 am till 6.00pm except for thursday, until 9.00pm. So i arrive at 9.00 pm AU time. Almost all the shop has closed at the airport. nothing much to see. Just enough to make 1 complete stroll around, my aunt arrive and we went supper in an area full of asians. I feel like i just arrive in KL. Cause cantonese everywhere.
See, there's actually not much of a difference here and there in Malaysia or Miri. Its all Kinda Similar. I will be uploading pictures when i can find memory card reader or you'll have to wait till i get back cause i totally forgotten to brought mine.

My Stay in Brisbane:
This is my room in Brisbane (just right outside the small window there, is the back of a house full of Vietnamese students. Girls. Too bad i didn't witness or heard anything interesting)
Like my mom told me to spread everything around and seperately hid my $$. Thats how it looks like.
The house is unique. entering the house, its a stairs splitting the lower and upper floor. Which means, the lower floor is half basement. Even when lookin out from upper floor, the ground doesn't seems to be too high to jump
The weather, trees and grass all look the same like M'sia.
Outside my room is this cute toilet and bathroom.

SO Here's a summary of my Day 1 in brisbane and now:

1) Its so hot here.. Just like back in Miri Before all the heavy rain. I feel like i just made a huge turn in the sky and back to some where in Asia where its hotter. T.T

Clear Blue Sky.. So Hot gee

2) Seriously, i dont experience much of a cultural shock... There is one thing, The ppl here are extremely friendly. Too friendly for some alien person like me and that i keep having this feelings that something is up the sleeves.. Lollololololl. but now I understand. They are just friendly. Thats all. ^^ such a nice place.

3) Bad weather. unpredictable rain. it seems sunny and no clouds and yet, it can rain from time to time for a short while. Yesterday evening, i went for a walk around my aunt's housing area with Lim's camera.. It was a nice weather. But suddenly it rained. As promised, i'll take good care of lim's camera, so we went to take shelter under the roof of some stranger's house. Lol By the way, its so kind of Him to lend me his precious cam. In return for Pictures of Babes in AU and NZ. LOL
Nice weather for a walk at7.30pm
Taking shelter in a bus stop at 8pm.
I did nothing much on day one except i went to a nearby Megamall called "garden City" and spend almost all my time there with my aunt. Oh and I got myself a new AU Sim Card. its called "yes" Optus (similar to DIGI in some sense). Call me if you're rich and free. its 0402 651 259. ^^

Its 3 bucks and i Dont know what i did and it went depleted in a nite. T.T so i reload again

Day 2:
I went to garden city again. I am Beginning to get used to this place in and out. So the purpose today was to go Cinema. ^^ I want to experience the Cinema here. and Wow~~~~~~~~~~~~~ its called BCC which stands for Birch C.C. Cinema.
Compared to Star CIneplex, there's a long long way to reach this kind of standards.

There's 2 levels, Groundfloor is just the advertisements banners and all and the ticketing counter. Luckily there's not much ppl, the queue line they've prepared seems to be long. I guess every weekends are full of ppl.

Upper level, Is where the Selling of drinks and food. Gosh, it was so large. Too bad i Didn't bring Lim's Camera (i was afraid it'll rain again). and here's 16 Halls for movies. and each can contain 100++ people. I watched Ghost Town, which cost me $9.00. Well, without converting te currency over, it sounds reasonable like what we have in Miri. PLUS, Its so spacious and the seats are quite similar to Airplane's seats. Wow, there's actually extra half an hour of advertisements before it begin. OVER ALL, ITS NICE!
Thats all for Day 2. Im now back home, aunt and uncle going to church and i'll be staying home, msn, and skype with my mom later.

Stay tuned for Day 3.
