Holidays!


Finally, the long anticipated winter holidays have arrived 3 weeks ago. Throwing away all the stress and books, off I fly to Airlie Beach to enjoy give myself a break from all the nonsense here. It is a pretty place, quiet, not much people escpecially asians. The water is exceptionally blue, the breeze is gentle and fresh, the sun is warm but not burning your skin. It is indeed an ideal place to getaway from the chilly cold winter in Wollongong. And it is the first time I have watched sunset almost everyday in my life :)

Got on board to sail around the islands, although the weather wasn't good, and the sail ripped off at the start of the journey, I have survived two nights on the boat. We went snorkelling, which is totally opposite from my so called snorkelling experience in Pulau Paya, where the water is just untill my knee and I squatted to look at the fishes swam by. Snorkelling in the sea makes me feel very very insecure, like I would drown anytime a wave hit by or there would be a shark behind me and I wouldn't notice. Obviously I think too much. But I see all the pretty corals and fishes, just like the documentaries and I was impressed! Not so impressed though when my feet was scratched by all those dead corals and it is still itchy till today.
Mum is not happy with me sunbathing (my face). And I got tanned after coming back :D

Went to the Whitehaven Beach, the most amazing beach I have ever seen in my life.
Looking dumb in the wet suit but just focus on the the water, it is all clear, like you wouldn't believe your eyes when you see it and the sand is so fine and white (pure silica).

I am missing that place already! I hope I would go back someday :)

Still couldn't believe I have been to that place.

And miss having Baskin Robins under the hot sun. And the cooling breeze never makes you sweat. 
Perfect weather.


The marina at Airlie Beach. Dreaming about someday when I could buy my own boat and go sailing.
Blue sky, blue sea, blue me.

Came back to the Gong all tanned and chubby. That's what holidays are for right? To make you relax, eat, and grow fat :(


Clubbing with the sweeties @ Illa. Japanese night!


And see who is back! My ex-unit mate Steph had decided to come back from HK for a break and ruin my holidays. She stayed over for a few nights and we bitched like hell.





Went to watch Shrek 3 together and this Missy took my student card to get a concession. Teacher acting student, tsk tsk tsk.

Just came back from Melbourne yesterday with S.

Met up with pin and chloe! We met every year since we came to Aussie! At different cities :) Missing them already. It is nice to talk to someone that knows everything about you. save up so much energy to explain stuffs. Love this pic so much! Us looking sophiscicated!

Disaster for the hotel to have both of us. We can spend a whole two hours camwhoring in our bath robes LOL. That's us, we can do whatever we want and not feeling awkward, be it with lotsa gossiping and bitching, or some touching heart talks or just purely silence. We feel comfortable in each other's company.

Finally get to meet these ladies, S's sunway mates. Had great time with them, and brainwashed with all the KK accent. Gang bu gang?

And results are out! Glad I still managed to maintain my average.

Two more weeks till uni starts again. And before that, I am going to make sure I slack every second of my winter break! 

Ciao.
