2 Weeks Break!

1st of all, congrats to all who have finished their exam! time for a long holiday le, cept those going attachment haha

Was back frm my holiday on sunday morning, then have to study for test on wed haha, think enjoying too much liao. test cui.

Anyway, I took many many photos during the 2 wks, and im really lazy to post everything at 1 go, so gona do it part by part haha. For the 1st part of the trip, I went to fraser island, which is a few hours up north of brisbane and the most sandy island in the world. din really do anything in brisbane coz heard there is nothing much to do.

It was a good trip there, and would have been much better had it not rain for the whole 3 days I'm there. Joe and I went on a 3 day 2 night self drive tour, and were grouped together with 9 other pple. bascically wat we were given was a 4WD(4 wheel drive) vehicle, a map, suggested itenary in the island, camping equipments etc etc. a few rep frm each grp also had to go help buy alcohol and food the the whole grp for the 3 days. the tour was $150, but on top of that still have to pay a $55 fuel and duno wat cost, fork out $20 for food, and watever money for alcohol depending on how much u wan. So its actually not as cheap as i 1st tot man haha

So after some briefing, watch so safety videos, do some admin stuff, we are off to the island!


on the way to the ferry terminal, there were a total of 4 grps of 11 pple on that day


off to the island!

It is really a nice island, nice beaches, nice scenery, and of course, could have been better if the sky was more clear.


our 1st stop


walking towards the lake after stopping our 4WD by the beach


the lake was really nice. water was so clear haha


theres like a sand dune, quite steep to climb to the top. unfortunately it had been raining, the sand was not soft, if it was, it would be fun to slide down frm the top i guess haha



this is the scenery at the top of the sand dune. shag to climb up man haha


its hard to see how steep it is frm here, really quite steep lah.


took another route back to our 4WD, walk quite a distance on the beach. nice walk though.


lunchtime! basically our lunch for the nx 3 days was sandwich. haha it was really windy at that time man, quite hard to take everything down n prepare the stuff.


this is 1 of the disapoointing stuff lah. on the itenary it said something like coloured sands, say wat different layers different colours, very nice. omg, it was jux ermm sand colour to me lor hahaha


so at abt 4pm on the 1st day, we went to the campsite and pitch our tents. 3-4 pple per tent, quite spacious.


at the campsite there are places for us to cook dinner, but theres like quite a stupid rule, lights out at 9pm, no noise after 9pm coz there are other private campers around. ridiculous man haha. but anyway, most pple dun care, when lights are out at 9pm, we on our torch haha.


our grp pple preparing dinner.. i was not of much help though lol. if i remembered correctly we had steak for 1st night and pasta and hambuger on the 2nd. actually although it look very dark on the background, it was only like 6pm lor, quite sucky for the darkness to fall so early. so its like after dinner all we could do was just stay around and talk cok.


part of my grp! some of them are really power drinkers. beer is part of their life haha.


this is taken at our 1st stop on the 2nd day morning.



Joe and I at the top of the cliff. real nice scnery on top.




our 2nd stop. its actually at a place where part of the sea is surrounded by rocks, so considered a safe place to swim. but the waves are really power, and the water was cold. only the swedish gals in my grp went to swim there. they say this is nothing to them haha.





on the 1st day it was a windy lunch, 2nd day it was a rainy lunch haha.


2nd day night. we were done at like abt 4pm also on the 2nd day haha, so as usual, had an early dinner and tok cok. actually for both days, i slpt quite early lah, really nothing much to do man


finally, on the 3rd n last day, we went to see 2 more lakes before heading for the ferry terminal.


Dingos! dogs that live in the island. they seem to be famous, pple are excited when they see dingos, but to me there are jux another type of dogs lol


final destination before we head back. lake mckenkie (think spelling is wrong haha). its 1 of the most popular attraction in fraser. many pple go there to swim etc.


a beautiful lake too.


bascially this sums up our trip. there are 3 canadians, 2 swedish, 3 swiss, 1 aussie, 1 american (joe) and me in the grp. not bad to know different pple frm differenet countries, and they are really nice and fun loving pple. hmmm but i tot i might have enjoyed it more if i had go with pple i noe lah, mayb will be more fun haha.

yeah, so tats abt it for the 1st part of the trip. will post more tmr! =)
