Seaworld, Gold Coast

It just sank in that I'm returning to the hospital for my final semester tomorrow. What a hectic semester this will be, albeit a little shorter than the ones before. I am excited, yet having the blues that I have to get back to my mundane routine of waking up early, and staying in the hospital till late. Oh what a life... or the lack of it, really.

The holidays have officially ended... :( And it's even sadder, knowing that this is my last holiday as a student. What a scary thought it is...

Anyway, here are some snippets of the exciting bits of my winter holidays :D The GOLD COAST PICS!

And since someone told me that he just looks at the pictures anyway, so I might as well let the pictures do the talking.



We left Melbourne at 6 am for it was the cheapest flight we could get. And we wanted to max out our time @ The Gold Coast, that's why. Hehehehe. Do not be fooled by my cheery look. I was surviving on 2 hours sleep the night before :(



Had lunch after dumping our luggage at the apartments. Headed straight out to Seaworld :D



The gang :D TMY is missing because he was the one snapping the pic.



The weather was sooooo good! :D Sunny and warm! We were actually over-dressed! But we didn't really have time to get changed before heading out. Everyone else was in shorts, skirts, spaghetti straps and thongs. Ok, not everyone... cause it was still a little chilly when it got breezy.



Mei and the pelicans.



Mei, Mich & Ade.



A candid one.



One with the girls... yet again.



The view from above **cable car**



The guys on the log ride :) getting wet wet wet *tee hee*



Mei & Jacy :D It was a breezy ride indeed...



The dolphin show @ Dolphin Cove...



Dolphins make me happy! I was ecstatic, like a happy, jumping little kid during the show. ** okay, scrape the jumping bit, for I did not literally jump** But yeah, it just somehow miraculously made me one happy little girl! ** I like them..... no, I love dolphins. I wish I could have one.



Went to see the polar bear :D I'm amazed they can survive out in the open like that. I was expecting to see polar bears in an ice box or something...



Sharks @ Shark Bay



The gals @ Shark Bay :)



Mei, @ the touch pool. Touching everything I can lay my hands on! *poke poke poke* I love the squishy sea cucumber, and the pokey sea urchins! tee hee... COOLLLLL! Star fishes are really hard... eWwWwW!



Dinner with Bong @ Cavill Avenue, Surfer's Paradise :)



One with half the group. We had to sit separately, cause the table wasn't big enough to accomodate everyone :(



And of course, pics of the yummy food! :D

I had fettucine with prawns, sundried tomatoes and avocado // Bong had the steak // Michelle opted for the seafood platter // and Ade had spaghetti marinara.

The rest of them all had spaghetti... so no pics there.

Okay, this is one longgg post. Damn tiring... Hehehehe... More to come. To be continued...
