day tripper

Two days ago I was invited to a day trip to Gold Coast. So yesterday, Mike and I took a train down to Nerang station to meet Cyrus. It was to be the last Gold Coast trip for Mike and first one for Cyrus. Took a bus to the beach, Surfer's Paradise. Was starving mad because I only had half a bowl of Fruit Loops so we had lunch before anything else.

Lunch was fish and chips and chicken wraps at Billy Baxter's. Then we headed to the ASA, which is the Australian Shooting Academy. The guys wanted to get some shooting done. I think they spent around AUD$130 per person. I wasn't interested so they "ok Ee-Wah can be our cameraman". Huh so pandai drag me in, tak sempat escape to do some shopping. So I stood there for about...a good half hour or more, snapping photos with two cameras of two guys smokin' some guns. They got a few rounds on a Magnum revolver and another few rounds on an auto gun.

The auto gun was scary lah! I wanted to stand behind their chairs and take some shots of them shooting, but the shells kept flying out. One of the shells bounced against the side of the booth and flew into the back of Mike's shirt, making him flap around cuz it was HOT...fresh out of a smokin' gun.

After that we hit the beach. Did a spot of sunbathing and then joined them in the sea. The water wasn't as rough as other times, perhaps because it was already evening. But it ain't called Surfer's Paradise for nothing...the waves are considerably huge. Cyrus kept dragging me further and further out to sea and Mike kept up the rear to stop me from escaping; won't give face sial. Sumore I'm damn short, so I keep getting crashed by waves. After a while, I got damn tired. Because everytime I walk further out to sea, the waves keep pushing me back. -_- Wasting my energy.





After that, we lepak on the beach while drying off. The sun was already setting and the beach was getting empty. Just a few people left. Not many bikini babes to snap dangit.





We were gonna go on a last round in the waves when the lifeguard took out his megaphone and said, "Please finish your swim and something something too muffled cannot hear". Dammit. It was getting cold anyway, so we packed up and left the beach. The guys went to Ripley's. I've already seen Ripley's at Genting, so I went shopping instead.



Then it was time for the hour and half journey home. It was good day out =)
