Thursday, June 15, 2006 at 8:53 AM hi. i was back from adelaide yesterday. i'll write what i did there. :))singapore is 1.30hr before adelaide.exchange rate- S$1 about $ 1.23 aussie
at the airport
well.... we went to the lounge for dinner. there was sushi, soup, satay, rice, drinks ice cream and... CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN/ FONDU (spelling?) !!! it was so fun. once my strawberry fell into the chocolate but i rescued it!on the plane to adelaide:))on the plane to adelaidethe flight is from 11.30pm (sing time) - 7.30am (aussie time) i hate aeroplane smell. anyway, my dad and mum say business class while my sis and i sat economy. unfair :(( my dad's friend, uncle ivan, and his son, christopher, were coming along. : the economy flight wasn't full so we could go further back where it was empty and sleep on three seats. yay. the air stewardess ,ernie ( cute name) , was very nice. she saved sis and i some stuff from supper. :)) i didn't take supper because i was sleeping. i only ate a bun for breakfast. XP i slept a lot. practically the whole trip. my ears didn't hurt because i did the ' pinch you nose and blow hard thing ' so it wasn't pain. :)) ohh ya! we got spangebob squarepants slippers ( not the one to go out but to kind of wear at home :)) )well... the weather was cold. we stayed at Hyatt hotel. the room was pretty small. 2 twin size beds. my sis slept on the sofa , i slept with my mum and my dad slept alone. yupyup :))
day 1 :))
my sis and i soaked many times throughout the whole stay close to 10. well... i'll just talk about one. when i drained the water, the thing sucked my finger to the hole and i cut in. can't write properly. :(( ( i can now) we went to rundle mall. my sis and i shared a club sandwich. there was jam in it. how wierd... then we went to MYER(S) and bought lots of stuff - homeware and some clothes. we spent $314.13. because if you spend over $300 you get 10% refund from the airport (smth like that)then we came home and later went out to David Jones to eat. the serving portions were enormous. we boght some food and headed home. on the way, i saw this guy playing a xylophone (i think) and he had a paunch. poor guy. he was trying to earn some money. poor guy. ohh ya. a lot of people play like guitars to earn some money.feet ached like mad. walked so much. soccer starts today. but i'm not watching because i'm not a soccer fan.
day 2
i woke up at 9.30am.walked to central market. went to gouger street (opp. central market) for breakfast. my sis and i ate pancakes. yumm. then we walked to rundle mall again. while we were walking, we saw a group of youngsters hanging out. they were all wearing black. my sis thinks she saw one of them with a handcuff around one wrist. paul twohill's cousins. some of their hairstyles were like paul twohill. they all look really wierd. no off. we bought some food. my dad bought a cute chicken egg seperater and i bought s cute chicken egg boiler- boiley. same brand. then we came home. my dad, sis and i had a foot bath competition. you add hot water and see how long your legs can withstand it. if your feet go above the water, you are disqualified. after a long while, my feet were so hot they went numb. anywayy, sis came in 3rd. i came in 2nd dad came in 1st. duhh! my dad's sin is thicker than mine. obviously he'll win! so unfair :(( anyway, we ate dinner at a restaurant along the riverbank. i ate beef steak (yumm!) and oyster. i <3>
day 3
in the morning, my dad and i went to the riverbank. we saw 4 pelicans from the adelaide zoo. i saw one pee or poop. yucks! there were many seagulls, black swans and waterbirds. later we went to budget to rent a car. very long and the boot is humongous. then we went to the factory outlet. we bought lots of clothes. my dad bought some oil painting stuff. then we went to glenelg ( spelt the same backwards. :)) ) i saw a seagull with 1 leg. poor thing. then i saw a male bird over a female bird. i think they were mating. then we went to eat at billy baxters. they had little comics on the wall. i ate hawaiian schnitzel. then we drove back home. my dad and mum went to the casino with uncle ivan. sis and i played!!!day 4went to free market for breakfast. bought 2 dozen of oysters. ^^ then we went to... CLELAND WILDLIFE PARK!!!! in the wildlife park there were (here goes) kangaroos, wallabies,koalas, pelicans, waterbirds, cape barren geese, tasmanian devils, reptiles, bettongs, dingoes, echidnas, emus, bush birds,potoroos, geese, bandicoots,many other birds, monitors (lizard) and euro( no idea what they are)
fed those in purple
saw those in green
didn't see those in black
i saw a family of bandicoots. and walabies look like half-pigs half-???when the kangaroos or wallabies eat, their tongue licks the food up on our hand. so our hands have saliva. then i will wipe my hand onto the poor kangaroo or wallaby/ wallabie (spelling??) so mean. at 2pm there was a close-up with koalas. the koala my sis, mum and i patted was called willo ( dunno how to spell) i wanted to cuddle that cute little fat koala. the koalas fur was soft, warm and fuzzy. there's a lot of poo on the ground. i stepped on some. went to marion. it was humongous. bought some food and a plate. there was a pet shop there. there were so many dogs. so cute! :)) we went to a shop with this thing to brush your shoes against. audrey has it. i think hers is a turtle. it has stiff and hard hair. so i scrubbed the poos under my shoe off. poor thing. too bad. heh. XP later we went to eat at ' the establishment restaurant. the food there was quite nice and the price is quite reasonable. i ordered prawn and salmon linguine. the portion was HUMONGOUS, ENORMOUS, GIGANTIC AND BIG :)) there was hardly any salmon. ohh ya. we could breathe 'smoke' that night. like when its superr cold then this white smoke-like thing comes out of your mouth. :))) yay!!! i kept breathing 'smoke' because... i like it! :)) then we went back to the hotel.haven't got souvenirs yet. darn. got to get them from the airport. :((
