had a remarkable and memorable day yesterday. decided to be adventurous and spontaneous and took a train down to the Gold Coast by myself yesterday. wanted to head over to Surfer's Paradise to take in the beach. something that i absolutely love. just sitting on a beach. watching people, chasing the waves, sinking my toesies into the sand. ah...bliss.

so, i'm all up and ready to go at 9am and after an uneventful trip, except the fire drill at the train station (i was told to leave, if not i would DIE), i arrived at the Gold Coast. the sky didn't look too promising though. it was cloudy and slightly gloomy. but i had faith that it would blow away and that the sun would come out to play. HEY! that rhymed! hahaha...sorry...bimbo moment.

met up with some classmates of my little sister, sook yi and xue mei and had a blast! went window shopping, which ended up being actual shopping, had a whopping lunch where we had to literally BEG the waiter for more delicious mushroom sauce (which by the way, i think i know how to make already), and got hit on by some surfers who were recruiting for a bar crawl they were organizing. *note: if the girls were over 18, i would hop right over to the hottie and list my name and theirs down with them in BOLD*

finally, we saw it. well, at least i saw it, they've been there umpteen times already.

Surfer's Paradise.


clambered over the dunes and managed to find a spot. not many people since it was a friday and that was a blessing. since i was there to appreciate the view and not the bodies. if i wanted to do that, i'd come on a saturday, FOR SURE.
