movieworld

hello fellow followers :D

so this is going to be my entry for my trip to movieworld 20/12/2010 with horizon ....
i've linked the photos on picasa to the title of this post ...

well, firstly we caught virgin blue to Coolangatta airport. I told Horizon about the frontier CEO on undercover boss (anyone with me?) and Horizon now desperately wants to watch that episode >:) however, i am afraid that I made it sound better than it really was ... there's not much to say here because- put straight, I slept my way through the entire flight. Arriving at the Gold Coast, we were quite a bit behind schedule and I FOUND THE SIGNS IN THE AIRPORT VERY MISLEADING. sadly, the arrow next to 'buses' did not, in fact, point to the public buses rather to the specialised, much more expensive tourist shuttle buses. we later took the 702 Southport to the hotel :)

arriving at the watermark hotel in surfers paradise, our room wasn't ready yet (considering the fact that we got there 5 or 6 hour prior to the standard check in time) so we left our bags at the concierge desk to look after.

Catching the TX2 (theme park express :D) to movieworld, we got there almost an hour after it officially opens >:( I didn't like that since it only opens for 7 hours. so we played on rides. basically, we went on these (I'll try to put them in order) :D

• road runner (a coaster-type ride in the kid section of the theme park > see superman escape)
• bumper cars
• we watched the hollywood stunt driver show (2nd time for me)
• scooby-doo Spooky Coaster (this may be the scariest ride)
• wild west falls (realised the descent is steeper than that of the superman escape)
• superman escape
• okay let's say I was so scared before I went on this. what comforted me was that in front of me sat a 50-or-so lady and I was telling her how scared I was and she said (can you believe this) 'Oh it's not that scary - well, it is a bit fast - but I've already gone on it twice'. So I was comforted a bit more ... and it was not as scary as the road runner. can you believe that? I think it's because it goes so fast you don't realise what you just did :)
  

and we never ended up going on the lethal weapon which Horizon oh-so-wanted to go on because no one dared to go with her =P

soon, the rides closed so we had to leave the theme park. catching the TX2 back to our hotel, our mums realised that we didn't have enough food to survive the three days ... so the girls got off one stop earlier and shopped around at coles.

we played a bit of UNO that night but not much, because my dad and Horizon's mum were really tired and needed to sleep. OH did i mention that we got conjoining rooms with a door in between so we could slip in and out of each other's rooms? well, we did. and it was awesome. Then I ate dinner - instant noodles - on the floor 'Japanese style' because there were only two chairs and one bed conveniently near the table, brushed my teeth and slept.

sentient meat

just before I post my experiences with Maggie at the Gold Coast, I've decided to share my thoughts on a passage we were to read at English class at school. It opened my mind to the extent that I am currently self conscious regarding my actions and how people see of me. What scares me is that what this extract details DOES make sense .... other than the fact that I still don't understand why bones and teeth are regarded as meat.

maybe you should read the short story in the linked webpage so you would understand exactly what I'm saying :)
My favourite part of this story is the alien's account (the story is told from the perspective of an alien race - similar but different to us) of a human's ability to use their mouth:

"Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

 'OMIGOD'. How scarily true is that segment? Now, often when I speak - I remember that I am, really, simply flapping my meat around and making sounds. And that when I sing I am really .... squirting air through my meat. Disturbing? Yes.

"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?

Officially of unofficially?

Both.

Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, feat or favour. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing.

I was hoping you would say that.

It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?

I agree one hundred per cent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' " 

Maybe that's why we haven't been able to contact alien races ... it is not that we are too far, or are technically incapable of communication (haha IPT), but rather they have been avoiding us ...

back from the Gold Coast!!!

hello. will blog our activities when i upload the pictures from my camera and when i have enough time after i have changed. after all, I got home 20 minutes ago.

and then i will decide what to include in my posts and what to omit >:)

自私鬼

烦死了.
 
Harmony，你太自私了. 就像左以泉 (吴尊) 在花样少年少女最后一集曾说过:

这一天还是到了. 该来的总是会来的. 我是该勇敢的去面对 ... 我不能总是这么自私, 自己享受着瑞稀所付出的爱。 虽然我想一直维持着这种偷偷爱着你的感觉 ... 可是这种感情不应该由我自己一个人来决定啊. 这样对瑞稀太不公平了. 我 ... 是不是该诚实的告诉瑞稀呢?

我跟泉不同的地方就是我却不在说男女朋友的关系.
我已经享受了你们俩的爱一年了. 在这一年 ... 我享受的是我付出的两倍, 我心情什么样就跟谁说话:  我拥有了一个不公平的选择. 现在, 我一直躲不了的一天到了. 我的感觉很紊乱 ... 脑袋一边早就预计到这天, 另外一边一直傻傻的让我相信会有奇迹, 是我想多了.

如果我真的知道这一天会来, 为什么我现在脑袋那么烦? 我不是已经想好会做什么吗?

好, 如果瑞稀亲口问, 我会勇敢的告诉他 ... 告诉他我一直都知道他是女生 ... 而且 ... 也一直偷偷爱着她. 不管我们之后会有什么变化, 我绝对不要再自私的操控我们的感情. 瑞稀 ... 是有权利知道的. 知道我 ... 一直偷偷爱着他.

哎哟, 现在问题是有一个昨天已经亲口直接问啦! 我没有勇敢地对他说我的真心情, 也没有说谎. 我只能拖累时间,给我自己两天时间反省一下. 我该怎么办啊! 一边有些人不太友好, 但另外的都对我很好 - 我跟他们说什么都行. 另外一边的人跟我挺像的, 傻傻怪怪的. 他们会很开心的欢迎新同学进入他们的朋友圈, 但是我觉得跟他们在一起好像有点 ... 怎么说呢? 不自在. 我根本都不知道哪一边对我影响最大.

现在写完这篇话之后, 感觉比以前差不多. 我想, 我可能只会再一次逃避, 跟两方说我都爱他们.

As William E. Gladstone once quoted,

Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.
