lumière de monde
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
And You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

YES!!! IM BACK IN SINGAPORE!!! Lol. Australia sucks i tell u, the palce is horrible. The weatehr is weird, the angmohs hav nth bttr to do and i didnt get to shop for anything for myself at all. Haha. So anyway this short trip in australia gold coast was not as good as i expected it to be. Liek come on lar, we are spending thousands of dollars to go somewhere further den msia n its horrid i tell u. Besides that, the trip got even worse when my parents started to make it so much more unbearable.
When we arrived in australia on monday, the sun was exceptionally bright, and im talking about 4am in australia time. 4 AM in teh morning and its even brighter den noon here in singapore. Like wads wrong wif the weird sunrise?! So we finally arrived in brisbane airport and my parents somehow screwed it up and we ended up being the last group within the "tour group thing". So we were quite paiseh about it la but we juz hurried along. The next problem we encountered was the apartments we were staying in, the group before us, left teh palce in such a mess that we had to coem back at 2 later in the day, it was ard 10am in the morning. So we left our luggage at teh reception n went out to "enjoy" our free day at brisbane. The weather was weird i tell u. The sun was so freaking bright n it was so hot. But whenever there was wind, which came qutie often, it was so cold that u needed the jacket. So i was thinkign whetehr i needed to wear that jacket or not, but i juz held on to it n suffered in the cold. We walked aroudn the palce where we stayed in, its supposed to be somesort of tourist attraction and so we suppose there wud b soemthing interesting. This was the first day that we started shopping, for sourvenirs for ppl liek u whose reading this entry. Nothign for myself at all. All for YOU! Haha. So anyway it got qutie borign, but liek any other normal female, my sisters n mom juz went on shoppign teh same store for like n hr or so. Crazy people. We went back to the apartments in the evening and it rained, so we ordered soem delivery thing which was really nice- chicken pasta salad coselaw fries soup bread etc. And btw, i summarise the whoel day relatively shortly, in actualy fact, it was so boring n all of us esp me cudnt wait for time to pass faster.
The secodn day was suppose to be sorta nice too, i guess it was one of the most entertaining trips there. We went to this palce called paradise country where there were lots of farm animals n all. I was so excited i tell u cos the animals remidned me of new zealand n i sorta envy jo as she's goin there while im sufferign in this place. T_T. The place was qutie cool. There was this session where u cud take pics wif koalas and it was decided that my sis wud hold the stupid bear, cos my parents were too afraid to hold it and try to push it on us. In teh end, i decided to help my sis otu n carried the horrid creature, which stuck its nails right into my shirt. It was super painful lar. Then we went on to the kangaroos section and we argued qutie alot there wif my mom cos of the picture takign thing. Next were the farm animals n it was kidna cool lookign at them. Next up was the show times and we saw how this sheep dog managed to bring the sheeps back into some caged area and some trips wif teh boomerang. And tehre was this show on soem stupid tea thing and the show on hroses and cows. Quite cool actually. The highlight was the sheep shearing show and it was kidna cool, btu the way the guy handled the sheep, it seems as if the sheep was in great pain. Haha. That particular show was much mroe hilarious den the rest n i cud swear that i heard the guy said "thsi is too nancy" when he had a hard time shearing teh sheep. I was laughing liek a nancy. =]. Then we had lunch and it was a free day again. We walked aroudn lookign for more sourvenirs for FRIENDS liek u! And then we went to the supremarket to get dinner. We didnt go to the restaurants or cafe as the food there either sucked, too exp, or juz didnt feel liek eating it. At teh supermarket, it exacerbated my feeligns to get back to singapore asap. My dad was ULTRA MEGA SUPER childish i tell u. He argued wif my mom alot n when my mom gave up, he came to socld us. All becos we didnt want to buy raisin bread. LIEK WTH?!?! rite? Everyone was kidna pissed wif him. Liek come on la stop being childish, n who dips raisin bread into campell soup stuff? Weird guy. So that was abotu it for teh second day.
Third day was terrible! Movie world is super borign i tell u. There are very limited rides there and so little stuff to do. The place was so small too that there was very limited stuff to do there. The shows were bttr i had say, esp the police academy show which was really funny. Other den dat it was rides n rides n more rides. We stayed there from 9 to 430. Doin practically nth, I was so happy that we were gg back to the apartments at 430. Haha. Oh yah, we spend liek n hr or 2 at this buffet restaurant in movie world but it wasnt very good either. Dinner was at this chinese restaurtant the tour guide intro to us some lobster special, the food was nice but their attitude and service was very bad. Efficiency wasnt anythign close to good either.
The next day was kidna complicated. We were supposedly headed to this palce called tangalooma island where we get to touch dolphins and all that kidna stuff? But the bus nvr came and my paretns were tokin to the "tour guide" on wad to do. In teh end we switched itineries wif the 5th day, so we ended up goin to dreamworld. Dreamworld was much more impressive than dat of movie world. But it was bad too i had say. The rides were either too childish or else too exciting, n since i cudnt take the ULTRA thrilling rides, i had to settle on the childish rides, so basically i focus my attention that day on all the shows. It was kinda nice n we made frenz wif this 2 angmohs, a grandad brining his grandson along. It was nice talkin to them. We went to get dinenr again by ourselves todae, n this tiem my dad didnt make a fuss as there was still leftover raisin bread for the day day before. =]. Oh and i coudl swear that i heard this gal calling this other guy, i think her bro to stop palying. It went soemthign liek this "themis stop playing". Yup. I was laughing away too. =].
The last day was too overwhelimg for me i tell u. I was so excited like YES!!! This day has finally come cos its teh last day of the trip. Lol. However it didnt go as smoothly as exected. As we had to check out early, we were made to pakc the room, and sicne teh coach was coming at like 745am which is really 545am, i didnt get much sleep at all. I had to help pack the palce and was scodled by my parents so many times cos they say i not auto enuff nvr help to do stuff. Im like wth?! I help lar. Liek all the stuff no one does, i do it, clearign teh table, throwign the rubbish cartrying teh stuff ard, buyign stuff that others need, waitign for them. N i got scodled cos i nvr help out n was taking a logn time eating. Liek which smart fellow wud ever pour down HOT soup down the throat? My parents never even think n keep complaining n whining at how lousy i was. I didnt really care la. It has always been liek that. Im always the one at fault so oh wells. Anyway we were kidna late n the bus was no where in sight. So my dad went to call the "tour guide" again n foudn out that the bus was already there but didnt c us. The stupid driver drive ard the place so many times lar, ard the apartments but nvr stop when he saw us. Liek who wud think that a moving bus is waiting for us, i tot that the bus was jzu drivign thru lar pelase. In the end the bus driver super smart, ultra sarcastic. He said soemthing liek todae we started this bus journey, everyone has their own excuse for being late, n those that are goin to tangalooma it is DEFINITELY not ur fault and those gg to tangalooma, i dunno whether u will make it on time. We were the onli ones goin to tangalooma. Well done lar the driver. Anyway we alighted from that bus, took anth bus n finally a short cruise trip over to tangalooma. It was kidna broign la that place. Like they were feeding pelicans, n mostly all the atcivities there were for their resort guests. So we were left wif nth much to do. The doplign feeding that my sis was so looking forward to was in the nite at 7pm. But the ship leaves at 4 so we had to giv it a miss. Sianz i tell u. In teh end we foudn out that we cud actually do stuff lar. There was this 4wd thign that cost 58 per head for a 45mins drive ard the island, anth one was a tour to this really ncie palce in island wif supposedly superb scenery. Lastly tehre was this desert safari tour which we took. It was cool i tell u. The bus trip there was super bumpy n all and the angmohs behind me were making all the weird noises like "woahhhhhhh", "yippeeeee", "cool", "faster" n sort. Irritating i tell u. We finally arrived at the desert n the view was breathtaking la. Super nice. Haha. All the clear white sand was fantastic. Then the tour guide for this trip like brought us ard n explain to us some stuff. The sand was white at the top, then below it tehre was black brown light brown yellow red etc colours due to the variosu reasons. Quite cool i must say. Then tehy brougth us to this place to slide down the sand. Omg i tell u, climbing up the slope was ultra tiring, den coming down the place was i think really painful. Haha. Cos my elbows touched the sand so in the end some skin got scratched off. Haha. But it was fun minus the sand that came in. Lol. After that, we went back to the main island and we slacked ard more before heading back to the ship, and finally back to the apartments. We alighted later on to get kfc dinner and finally back to the apartments to get the bus back to brisbane airport. We went shopping ard for awhile, and after that got myself a new pencil case. At logn alst i got a pencil bxo after that horrid incident 13 days after my bdae. So yupz. Bye bye to the plastic bags n australia n welcome back to singapore. Haha. =] =] =].
