I'm back!...

Okay fine not like people bother whether I'm alive or dead. Not like I want people to bother either.

Well I didn't really enjoy my holiday in Australia because!

1. It's a fucking tour group. I. Hate. Tour. Groups. 'Nuff said.
2. It's a fucking rude tour group I'm talking about. Snobby rude folks who don't even look at you if you were polite enough to say "hi" and act as if you must make way for them just because they have kids.
3. Three monkeys irritating you everyday.
4. Ridiculous theme parks. Even though Australian theme parks are awesome, but really, it's a twisted personality flaw of mine that prevents me from even liking theme parks. I just hate theme parks because it's so pointless. I wonder why morons put themselves on a carriage which is going to lay them perpendicular to the ground, 38 storeys high, or some gizmo that's gonna fling them all over and flog them senseless. I guess Dreamworld's... erm whatever that place was called, animal sanctuary was not bad because the kangaroos are just so cute and they roam freely, or Movie World's shops and architectural style and Seaworld's aquariums are not too bad, but beyond all this, it's sheer boredom for 6 hours for three days.
5. Having to adhere to a schedule I didn't plan. Seriously who the fuck wants to wake up at 5.30 in the morning just to go to the airport! Or who on earth wants to get up at 7 just for breakfast. I won't. Obviously. I'm a night creature and when I wake up so early, don't expect me to remain alert by 10am. Plus whose stupid idea was it to stay in a theme park for 6 fucking hours.
6. Not enough free and easy time. Well with an idiot like me tours shouldn't even be conducted. When in a foreign country you're supposed to experience the culture, not go to a stupid theme park when your tour guide tells you to. I seriously loved Surfers' Paradise, Gold Coast, the area we stayed in for much of the latter part of the holiday, but it's just horrible that I didn't have enough time to explore the area, and also I don't have the liberty to explore further because of the long-time reason that I'm young and stupid.
7. Losing my phone at Movie World.
8. The constant stream of criticism I get. Won't name who. Just so you know I am older than you and actually you shouldn't even be criticising me. Besides you're failing terribly at trying to outsmart me. I'm stupid but I realised that you can't even surpass the low levels of my intelligence. So just shut up and stop ruining my life. And if you stop, I will stop too.
9. Common cold has also taken my mood hostage. I hate being unable to eat anything I want or scream as loudly at some bumbling motherfuckers in my group. I hate coughing and sneezing so much AND STILL HAVING TO SURVIVE A DAY IN A NOISY, CROWDED AND TERRIBLY IDIOTIC THEME PARK.
10. No privacy. 'Nuff said.

Okay. Criticisms over. Now the nice bits about the tour.

1. Tobogganing on the sand dune in Desert Safari, Tangalooma Bay.
2. Managed to capture the explosion sequence on my Lomography camera in the Police Academy Stunt Show at Movie World.
3. Finally settling everyone's cards and gifts for Christmas.
4. Looking at the cute stingrays in the aquarium at Seaworld! They have smiley faces on the underside!
5. Feeding the emus and the ducks at Tropical Fruit Farm!
6. Feeding the kangaroos at Dreamworld!
7. When my phone was found by my tour guide's colleague and some mysterious Samaritan who placed it in the Lost and Found section.
8. Locking Zhi Hao in the balcony at the hotel room.
9. Walking along the beach and feeling the sand between my toes
10. Making a sand angel in Desert Safari
11. Meeting a 2 month-old Pomeranian puppy at Surfers' Paradise! He was so cute, scampering in the grass patch, twitching his tiny little nose at anything that moves! I talked to the owner (a young stocky lady in hot pink spandex and huge sunglasses) and she let me say hi to her puppy! I shook his little paw and he looked at me with that curious look on his face. SO CUTE!!!!
12. On the bus trip into the subtropical forest to see the glow worms on the night of 18th December, I looked out of the window and saw the beautiful, starry night sky, and Linkin Park's "My December" playing in my iPod. The whole atmosphere was awesome. I got so lost in that world of peace, beauty and melancholy.
