Life after O Levels is bliss
Monday was New Moon day with the vampires (aka Abii, Yiling, Crystal and Debbie). Laughed at rpattz's failed imitation at being brooding and sexy, swooned at Taylor Lautner's wonderful abs and generally annoyed the entire theatre by having the wrong responses to everything.
Tuesday/Wednesday was the sleepover where we OD-ed on TV. House, Milk, Give My Regards to Broad Street (couldn't even finish it), Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and A Hard Day's Night. Managed to convince Abii of Keith Moon's and the Beatles' awesomeness. Jump shots with Debbie on my balcony and creeping prom pictures on Facebook.
If you want to be successful in life, you gotta push.
Gold Coast was so fun! It'll be too exhausting to type out in full chronological order, so I'll just put it in point form:
- Tangalooma: sand tobogganing, ATVs, wild dolphins and the amazing beach.
- Saw an accident on the highway. The cars actually moved out of the way for the ambulances. It shouldn't be a surprising sight, but it was.
- Tasted wines at ILNAM Winery in Tweeds Heads, NSW. I'm well on my way to being an alcoholic, judging by the fact I liked the wine with the highest alcohol content the best.
- Went down to Point Danger. New South Wales/Queensland border with an amazing beach with surfers surfing.
- There was this guy at Superbee who was really passionate about his bees who showed us how they rob the hive.
- Hugging koalas and rollercoasters at Dream World.
- Keith Moon's shirt, Elvis' pants and a Beatles gallery at Hard Rock Cafe!!!!! And seeing a Schoolie strip on a balcony was pretty interesting too.
- So I was running for the lift and shouted "Wait!!!!" (assuming that the lift would be mostly empty) and faced an elevator's worth of human beings packed liked sardines. When one ang moh teenager said we could still squeeze me in, I told them that I had to wait for the rest of my 5 member family. Then another ang moh teen said, "If you wanna be successful in life, you gotta push." Hahahahahahahahahahahha
- Springbrook National Park. Saw 1500 year old trees and a natural waterfall and a cave with glow worms. Slightly humid, but cooling. In other words, the most amazing walk I've ever taken.
- Star gazing in a random field.
- A Superman rollercoaster, the Gotham City cafe (ate "The Bat"), a Bat shop with a lot of Batman merchandise, a guy in a Batman suit and general awesomeness at Movieworld. Freezing too, considering it's supposed to be summer. I was so psyched. C:
- Got my bag checked while leaving City Beach. It was hilarious since I got a huge shock by the guy speaking (wasn't expecting to hear an unfamiliar voice asking for my bag) and scared my sister into thinking I had embarrasing or illict things in her Patrick bag. (By Patrick bag I mean the Spongebob one. It literally is a bag-sized soft toy with an opening large enough to put in a phone and some cash.) After leaving, I said to my sister, "What could I possibly put in Patrick? Marijuana?" Then she told me, "Don't say that so loudly, or the Schoolies will rob you." WIN. C:
- Visited the world's largest tropical fruit farm, tasted a lot of fruits I can't even remember the names of, cracked a macadamia nut and ate it on the spot, feeding a greedy-ass horse who snatched the entire packet of oats from my hand, bottle-feeding a calf, feeding ducks on a boat and seeing a wild koala.
- Shopping at Harbourtown. Bought Who Are You for SGD$10 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Milk and The Who Live at the Isle of Wright, Keds for AUD$20, cute shirts and an amazing bag in the shape of a gumball dispenser.
- Went to Video Ezy and got True Blood and Dexter.
- Watched 500 Days of Summer and Valentino: The Last Emperor on the plane while nursing a bad case of diarrhoea.
Despite starting off the trip with a bad omen (wiped out the contents of my iPod thanks to the stupid iTunes system and forgot to bring my new headphones), Gold Coast, filled with Schoolies and in all its touristyness turned out to be amazing fun. I loved the activities, I was amused by the tour group (putting a little kid on a monkey leash, for starters) and I'd go back in a heartbeat, despite the horrible hotel looking like no one's touched it since the '80s and the horrible toilet smelling like drunk puke.

A Hard Day's Night
Ringo: Books are good.
Grandfather: Parading's better.
Ringo: Parading?
Grandfather: Parading the streets! Trailing your coat! Bowling along! Living!
I realise my blog's somewhat abandoned right now, but when you have the luxury of being tired enough of shopping to not want to go out anymore, the internet seems somewhat boring in comparison.
In the past two weeks, I've finished doing the O Levels, had my hopes severely dashed, finished watching Pushing Daisies Season 2 and Prison Break Season 4, bought my new Sennheiser HD238 headphones, been to every shopping centre I like in Singapore, cut my hair for the first time in over a year, attended prom, slept over at a hotel without my parents for the first time and caught up on my sleep.
The reason I'm using the computer is to re-rip all of my CDs and make them pretty in time for my flight to Australia tomorrow night. I probably should have started a little earlier, since I have about, oh, I don't know, only about a hundred CDs to rip, but being the great procrastinator that I am... I haven't even packed. x.x Besides the time factor, I'm facing a little bit of a crisis. Apparently I don't have enough underwear to last me for a week without washing.

BRB SHAKING AND CRYING RN.
I got an iPod touch (32GB) for my birthday!
And, in less exclamation-worthy news, I bought 5 CDs:
1) Tommy - The Who
2) Led Zeppelin II
3) Tattoo You - The Rolling Stones
4) Rubber Soul - The Beatles
5) The White Album - The Beatles
So exciting! :) Even if I now only have $50 to spend on both my prom dress and a new pair of heels to go along with the dress. I think I may end up having to go barefoot lwowl.
