teen no more, part #3

O8O811 - Marina 姐姐's 26th Birthday.

Last Sunday, I went to a family birthday celebration dinner for my cousin, Marina, and I. We went to Zilver Seafood Restaurant for dinner. I'm sorry to say but their services wasn't that good. It may be because of the event that was held that night but seriously, Can they be so busy that they made us serve our own food and stuff? The carpet floor was stained with various types wines, drinks, food and sauce. They were slow with their services, and when we finally receive our food, that pretty much just dropped it onto the round  glass spinner. Heck! We even have to ask for a round glass spinner, rather them having already provided us one. They may have had quite a few Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities visit their restaurant, but that doesn't make them a 5 star restaurant. 

For once, rather than just being satisfied with the food, I enjoyed my company. I sat next to Andrew, so I was able to talk to him more. It was nice getting to know him more since I've barely talked to him in the past, even if he was a family friend. I guess we connect in a way that we both sometimes feel that we're outsiders from the family. Well, for my part, I am part of the family, but I guess sometimes I don't really feel connected at family dinners because I just didn't really find interest or understanding in their conversations. I guess I talked particularly more than usual since half the dinner conversation was about me and Tae LOL. I didn't ask Tae along because I felt it was too early and he had work as well. May be he can join us next time =).

I gave Marina these cute doggie patterned PJs, which she quite like, and Marina and William chipped in a got me a GPS =D !!! I'm very happy !!! Now I'll won't get lost again when I'm driving !!! They bought the Navman GPS from JB Hi-5, and they've also given me the receipt in case something happens. The warrant's for 2 years =D. Thank you !!!

 

Unfortunately, they forgot to order chili pipis with XO sauce. When they did order it, the restaurant ran out =(. So, to make up for it,William took me to Passionflower for ice cream =). I had 2 scoops of sesame and green tea ice cream =). We all went our separate ways home after that. I had a wonderful night =). Unfortunately, my aunt ran through a red light and the security camera caught her. The lights were yellow/orange (whatever colour you want to call it) and my aunt thought she could make it. She passed the line, but the lights turned red before she crossed to the other side. Yeah... it's best not to speed past a yellow light.

27O711 - Tae's 23rd Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY =D !!!

28O711 - 妈妈's 59th Birthday.

Yesterday was the first time I've ever driven the car all by myself =D YAY !!! That was because i was just driving around Cabramatta. Anyways, I went to visit Kelly at around 11:30AM to catch up and hang out since we haven't done that in a while. And we did. I even helped fold her clothes =D. At around the afternoon, we went to pick Sarina up and drove back to Kelly's house. We made some fried rice, which was quite good =D (that's because Sarina was the one who did most of the cooking, and she's definitely a better cook than Kelly and I put together hahaha =D). We even made sausages in the shame of octopuses, like what the Japanese do for their bento boxes =D. 

After lunch, Emma and Wendy came over for a visit. To kill time, we played the Monopoly Deal card game. Tracy couldn't join us because she was busy doing her homework lol how studious of her =). Anyways, for the first couple of rounds, everyone was friendly and all, but then after a while, everyone pretty much stopped playing nice and were fighting for themselves in the game LOL! I guess we were all so determined to win that we all won at least once =) so I guess it was fair. We played until 6PM before Sarina and I had to go. I drove her home before going to Linh's house.

We decided to go eat Pancakes On The Rocks at North Mead as a celebration for Linh's safe trip home from Vietnam =). It was another great time to catch up with everyone, though when our food came, everyone barely talked. I guess we were all too hungry to say much lol. After dinner, Linda and Linh decided to have pancakes as well for dessert. Before we left, Linda decided to play with her food and made a concoction with the remaining raspberry custard, syrup, ice-cream and butter (I actually helped too lol ...). Kenny dared someone to drink it for $5. I said I would if Kenny was to pay for the drink I had earlier with my meal. I had a couple of sips; it smelt nice, but the taste was quite sweet... and thick =S I even made Linda want to vomit ROFLS! I didn't regret it though, I got $3.95 off my bill =D. Well, many thanks to Linda for driving us home =). 

PS. I quite admire Linda for her independence =D she has her own car, a good job and she's even planning to invest in a house too =D.

ums, choco-whip and pies

17O411 - San San 姐姐's 23rd Birthday.

Last Saturday, we held a surprise dinner for Eric's 19th at Red Sichuan, Canley Vale, at around 6 PM, but we didn't start eating until 7 PM when Vicky, Stanley, Thanh and Eric finally arrived; we couldn't start eating without the birthday boy, now can we? Though, it WAS very tempting ... I don't think he was that surprised though. He looked happy, but not really surprised. I guess someone gave it away along the way there *sigh*. Surprises are sure hard to throw =/.

I was having trouble keeping warm, but eating hot pot while you're wearing shorts, a light dress and wet hair is a FANTASTIC way to warm up =D especially eating on the chilli side =D !!! We ordered all sorts of side dishes, well Derek and Kenny made most of the choices, but they were all very delicious. I wasn't particularly fond of the taro balls though, but the quail eggs were delicious. Then again, after having about 20 of them can kind of turn you off of them =S. I didn't want to waste anything food so I scavenged as much food as possible in the hot pot and halved it with Mimi. Mimi did the same thing. I feel like I ended up with more food than her though, but I think it was because half my bowl was soup so you couldn't really see what was underneath. Majority of the hot pots still had food remaining. I felt like just, I don't know ... eating it all just to not waste it =/. But I think I'll just vomit again =.=.

So apparently, Vicky and Stanley was late picking Eric and Thanh up because they had to go to Campsie to get the apple pie because Merrylands' bakery shop was closed LOL. How dedicated are they?! Well, the pie was pretty big, so we end up sharing a slice between 2-3 people =). I was kind of full so I just had crusts and a bit of the apple pie =) it was delicious, but I think it would've tasted nicer if it was heated up. Eric got his BIG container of protein powder; 'Banana Perfection' flavoured or something. I don't like banana ... I would've liked strawberry or chocolate myself, but then again, I don't digest protein powder myself ... Not that kind of person hahaha =).

After dinner, we decided to go back to Thanh's house. So we did; via 3 cars. The only one who didn't go was Kelly, who was driven home by Kenny. What a shame =( I didn't even get to say goodbye to her =(. I got to Thanh's house via Derek's car =) many thanks Derek =).

When we got to Thanh's house, there was a mattress on the floor =D it was his mum's but she went upstairs when we came in. Stanley's group also bought 2 bottles of choco-whip on the way back. After a couple of minutes of pillow fights, tackling and moving around furniture, we decided to play a drinking game. It was the game where we had to figure out the pattern, and if you didn't get it you had to drink a shot of choco-whip. It was funny how Wendy kept saying 'I GOT IT' after almost every round, but she really did end up getting it, just the not the first few times when she said she did hahaha. Rebecka managed to get most of it correct as well, even without knowing what the pattern was hahaha how lucky of her =). Thanh and Stanley's clue was 'think out loud' but half of us still couldn't get it. Vicky may have been the first to get it hahaha. They said that you needed to be drunk to get it, I wonder if they were implying on something about Vicky's alcohol behaviour >.> LOL ! By the end of the night, half of us got it while the other half didn't so they just told us the pattern. It was 'um _________' ... I don't know if I should call it a stupid rule or a smart rule; stupid because it was so simple, but smart because it's so simple people wouldn't usually get it because people think too hard for these games.I think I'm leaning more on the stupid side. I think Sarah and Derek were the only ones who were the least allowed in LOL oh wells. The others were saying that Sarah's too confident to say um LOL! She does seem like a confident person hahaha.

After half the group has left, the other half just laid around, relaxing. I don't know how it started but the boys started singing songs and replacing word with pies and cakes and all sorts of desserts; it was mostly pie though LOL. Hmms... I knew I was red from the alcohol; I was also laughing louder and more than usual LOL but that does NOT mean I'm drunk. I just get red easily because of my size and I'm a female. I could still walk straight, count, etc. Anyways, I had a fun time laughing my head off =).

Many thanks to Stanley for driving us (Vicky, Mimi, Shirley and I) all home even though you're just on your red Ps. That bump near Shirley's house gave me a scare, but the car was okay. I think we also bumped into another car... hopefully I'm wrong. It can't be helped, the windows were all fogged up.

安息吧，第四阿姨

我想我已经能够访问你搭腔。我希望访问在今年年底你左右。对不起没有跟你有更多的。

你是一个不错的阿姨给我。我听说你死了一个和平的死亡。请继续看在你的家人。我们将永远想着你。如果可以，妈妈和我会尽量来尽快访问你的坟墓。

我觉得不好的行为，因为我觉得这是我的错，妈妈部分是不能去你的葬礼。如果我不认为我们开车到我的校园我的任务在手，妈妈不会晚回家打电话给在使签证费用的家伙。然后，她就一直要与你的葬礼本周二姑姑那里。

我知道你对我妈妈很多的照顾。我会照顾她，你不要担心。你可以走了，但我还是希望你能快乐在那里。

rain another year

O2O411 - Jeffrey's 19th & Raymond D.'s 20th Birthday.

O7O411 - 爸爸's Birthday.

O8O411 - Jack's 20th Birthday. 

Last Sunday, I went to the Bring It On Festival, at the Fairfield Show ground, with Karen. It wasn't as crowded as last year, but it was nice to see how strongly they were advocating health amongst the community =); I, myself, managed to bring home half a bag full of them... well, kind of since I ate half of it before I brought it home ^_^'. I did the skipping rope challenge and only made it to 3 minutes and 21 seconds =(. If I made it to 5 minutes, i would've gotten a basket ball or a soccer ball. I was able to take home a skipping rope or a handball, but I already have both, so I just took extra peaches instead =D (which were free to begin with). By the way, I actually skipped barefooted because I was wearing platforms, and I don't think wearing platforms while skipping would've been very comfortable. Apparently, Karen said that I kept on moving up and down the place instead of staying in one spot hahaha I guess I unintentionally did that when I avoided stopping my skipping routine. 

I also had American churros (which is kind of like a stick version of a cinnamon donut, with filling inside), mango flavoured snow cone and hot dog. I kind of regretted ordering the hot dot after I saw all that oil on the frying pan =S. We went around collecting freebies as well, and even had a free hand massage =D it was like heaven *sigh*. Seeing that we couldn't decide what to get for our mothers for Mothers' Day, we decided to make them this smelling bath soap ourselves; they were giving free lessons in the Women's section. We also met and talked to Adrian a couple of times. I didn't see many ex-volunteers from the years before =/ I guess they didn't bother this year.

We went home at around 2:30 PM because it started raining. Unfortunately, my mum was busy at home so Karen's mum was nice enough to give me a lift home =). Maybe I should've said to drop me off at Stocklands instead so I could use my $20 voucher straight away =D. But it would've been lonely shopping by myself ... eh, it doesn't matter anymore =).

Later that night, at around 5:30 PM, we went to SuperDish, at Cabramatta to celebrate my uncle's birthday. Coincidentally, Vicky was working on that day. Well, actually, I half expected that, seeing that it was a weekend and all lol =). My cousin, Marina, and mum also noticed she was working that night too =). I thought I would feel awkward, eating with my family and having a friend working there, but it didn't feel awkward at all. Maybe it was because she was too busy, and I was just minding my own business with my family. I did kept a look out for her every now and then though =) and she did talk to me a bit when she got to our table =). The food wasn't bad, but the pipis/clams disappointed me =( half of them were just shells, and I'm sure we're supposed to have more than the amount that they gave us... well, in comparison to the bowl I saw another table had the last time I ate there >.> ... Ah, it didn't matter, I and an enjoyable night =). 

I joined my cousins to Woolworth after dinner and saw Carina =D. I wonder how long she's been working there already. I wish I worked there =(. Strangely enough, Marina asked me that I must not really like my mum because I followed them instead of my mum. Initially, I thought it was because I felt more comfortable, seeing that I was closer to their ages than my mum and my relatives' ages. Or am I just turning a blind eye to the distance between my mum and I? I thought it was decreasing, but now I don't know anymore. I'll just think about it another night.

Diary Entry #13: I ATE SMELLY TOFU >=D !!!

Dear Diary,

Happy 19th Birthday to Raymond T. =).

I had brunch with 2nd uncle, 2nd aunt and 3rd aunt before visiting Grandma for the last time. We spent some time there talking with Grandma, Gu Ma and Gu Jeong (my father's eldest sister and her husband). My 4th uncle and aunt were working and cousin Yong Xian went back to boarding school. And again, Grandma and Gu Ma gave me more money (RM $3OO) hahaha! How lucky of me =D. 

Later that night, uncle, aunt and cousin Mun Fei took me out for dinner. Cousin San San and Mun Loong were working that day, so they couldn't join us. We went to a Nyonya-styled restaurant, which is a combination of Malaysian and Chinese cuisine (it's also what they called females that were Chinese-Malays; males were known as baba). The restaurant was located at The Curve a shopping district where there were streets of restaurants; I guess the place was mostly designated for restaurants. There were vegetables called lady-fingers and smelly beans. The lady-fingers tasted and looked kind of like normal beans and in my opinion, the smelly beans weren't that smelly either =/. Either way, the meal was quite delicious =D. They displayed various ancient artifacts like pages of this ancient Chinese book. I don't really know how to explain it, it was kind of like a book of wisdom or something ... =S I took photos of it anyways; my aunt told me to show it to my mum so that she could read it.

After dinner, we went to a night market. Not everyone was open; I guess it's because they were still celebrating the CNY or we just came a bit too earlier. Our purpose there was to find lanterns and smelly tofu. We found the lanterns, but we couldn't find the smelly tofu. Uncle bought me sunny-side up quail eggs instead. Apparently, eating one quail egg is like eating 2 chicken eggs. That's how high of cholesterol they are... That night I had about 3 or 4; cousin San San ate the rest for me. Just when we were about to leave, cousin Mun Fei found the smelly tofu store due to it's foul smell. Indeed, it stunk. The smell was similar to sewage smell. Cousin Mun Hong once told me that they actually fry it with sewage water or something. Aunt said that it wasn't true. To be honest, it wasn't that different to normal fried tofu; the smell was also not as bad once you've tasted it. I think what made it different than normal fried tofu was the sauce - sweet and spicy sauce. Oh, they also added some kind of cabbage salad with it as well. Either way, I was happy that I tried it, but I don't think I'll be trying it again any time soon. Cousin Mun Fei helped me finish the rest off. When we got back, I tried to annoy cousin San San with my breathe, but she wasn't afraid ... Oh wells =P. 

Cousin San San was actually taking me out to a club that night. Hence, I made sure to brush my teeth before I left. I didn't want her friends to feel disgusted with me. It was a private family party that her rich friend's parents organized. To be honest, it wasn't that interesting. There were a combination of old and young people, so I guess the meaning of 'fun' varied a bit. I had half a bottle of beer, and that's about it. Beer wasn't really my thing. To reduce the chances of being pulled over, I was ordered to sit in one of the guy's car instead. Apparently, having a girl and a guy, in a car, on a club night, was less obvious for the police to think we drunk. Oh, speaking of clubbing, girls actually had a night where everything they drank was on the house, at a club. It's a Thursday night. How lucky is that? Anyways, I digress. The guy and my cousin actually raced each other to the house... I was quite surprise; he went up to ~ 140KM =S He was a smooth driver, so i wasn't that scared. But seeing my cousin race off like that was unexpected. She told me that she didn't speed that often. Apparently, Jason, who was sitting in her car, told her to not let the guy who I was with beat them. Jason was another friend of my cousin. In the end, they won. We were stuck between cars, that's why we couldn't speed much. But when there was space, the guy was very good an maneuvering, very smooth O_O. They were right; if you drive in Malaysia long enough, when you go back to your own country, you would be a pro. 

We went back to the rich guy's friend to hang out instead. One of the friends was so drunk that... actually, I'm not going to say. It wasn't a pretty sight. He ended up sleeping outside. Alone. On the floor. We played a game of cards called 'King.' It was kind of a game of dare and cards mixed together. There would be the King card, and then 1 to any amount of number, depending on how many people playing, minus one because the 'King' would also be included. Then we would all pick a card; the person with the 'King' card would make up a dare and then call out 2 numbers so that they would be the ones doing the dare. The night turned out pretty interesting ... I won't say what the dares were; the dares were more wild and daring than what I usually played. Then again, that's because the people I play wasn't that openly perverted and wild >.> ... I felt sorry for David because for the majority of games, he was always one of the victims. It was so freakishly consistent that he almost wanted to just volunteer himself for every dare. We all couldn't help but laugh =P. Also, it was the first time I saw my cousin so... daring. I knew she's outgoing and open but i didn't know she could be this... wild xP.  

Again, we left home at around ~4:30AM. Unfortunately, on the way back, uncle called cousin San San to ask where she was. We got busted. Cousin San San was right, uncle really does wake up really early. Luckily, we weren't scold or anything. Uncle did lecture us for a minute or two, but that was it. Also, I wasn't drunk at all =). I only had half a bottle of beer after all =P. Another day over.

 

Aju,

FiONA =).

Diary Entry #7: Welcome to Melaka; World Heritage City (O5O211)

Dear Diary,



Cousin San San, Pui Yi and I went to Melaka. Melaka's actually how Malaysians would pronounce it; Malacca is what people would normally pronounce it as.  It's a historical state in Malaysia that Portuguese have conquered in 1511. So the city's been influenced with some Portuguese culture, eg. religion.   


But before our road trip, we had breakfast at a restaurant near cousin Pui Yi's house. Cousin Mun Hong was too busy sleeping, so he didn't join us =/. The food was okay, and the apple juice seemed particularly sour =S. The drive was 2 hours there and back; I spent most of the traveling time sleeping in the back. I couldn't put my seat belt on  because it didn't work; they told me I didn't need to anyways. When we got there, the traffic was pretty bad. So was the parking. 

 This was the secret photo taken by my cousin Pui Yi on the way there >.<.

After finding a space, we went to meet up with cousin Pui Yi's friend at a restaurant for lunch. The food tasted a bit strange to me, and my stomach wasn't really working with me, so  I didn't eat much. I think I'm officially sick with the flu =(. Being sick on holidays is the worst >. Rather than talking about my trip to various shops and sites, I'll just upload the photos =) after all, a picture's worth a thousand words =).

Some kind of hard candy.

 Ondeh.

 Shaved ice with beans underneath.

 

Before hitting the road again, we ate dinner at this Western-looking restaurant, but they still sold Asian food. The interior design looked pretty refreshing, pale coloured and all, but I can't say the same to the exterior design =/. I think they need to fix their restaurant sign; I had to walk back far enough to see it because it was blocked by the roof looking decoration.

This fish dish was pretty spicy. Or maybe it just felt extra spicy because my senses weren't really with me since I was sick.

Not only was my stomach wasn't working with me, but so was my bladder. Then again, my bladder never worked with me =/ just like my mum. Half way through the trip back to Kuala Lumpar, I urgently needed to go the toilet. Because of that, cousin Pui Yi illegally drove on the side of the road to travel further up the road. We made it to McDonald; thank McDonald Corporation for making it a fast growing, International franchise! I also must say that cousin Pui Yi's driving made me laugh a bit. Due to the traffic, she stopped and started the car quite a bit but rather than slowly driving up, she practically slammed her foot on the accelerator when she got the chance. The abrupt back and forth motion just cracked me up xD. But I am thankful for her driving us and her illegally driving us to get me to the closest toilet =). Another day gone, another day about to begin.


Zai Jian,
FiONA =).

PS. Thanks cousin Pui YI for the photos =).
PSS. Some photos were taken with my phone camera.

널 사랑했던 이 내 맘이, 널 바라봤던 내 두 눈이 아직도 여기에…

* Oh Baby say Goodbye Oh 잠시만 Goodbye 안녕이란 말은 잠시 접어둘게
저 문을 열고서 한 걸음 내밀면 코 끝으로 전해지는 너의 숨결

차가운 그 바람 속에 따뜻한 너의 손길이 한동안 남아 있는 걸
온통 그대 흔적이 눈물이 되어 내 두 뺨 위에 머무는 걸
잠 시 동안 여행을 떠나 가슴 아픈 상처 닦아 내고서 시간 흘러 그댈 만나면 보고 싶었다 네게 말해줄게

*Oh Baby say Goodbye Oh 잠시만 Goodbye 안녕이란 말은 잠시 접어둘게
저 문을 열고서 한 걸음 내밀면 코 끝으로 전해지는 너의 숨결

그렇게 또 해가 지고 달이 뜨는 오늘 역시 변함이 없는데
Oh, 왜 자꾸만 내 맘은 이렇게 빠르게 달라지는지
파란 하늘 닮은 그대의 모습은 어느 샌가 비를 내리고
이 빗속에 몸이 젖으면 흐르는 눈물 따윈 감춰둘게 yeah~

* Oh Baby say Goodbye Oh 잠시만 Goodbye 안녕이란 말은 잠시 접어둘게
저 문을 열고서 한 걸음 내밀면 코 끝으로 전해지는 너의 숨결

지난 시간 너무 어리석었던 내 멋대로였던 그런 내 모습 모두 감싸줬던 네가 너무 소중한 걸

* Oh Baby say Goodbye Oh 잠시만 Goodbye 안녕이란 말은 잠시 접어둘게
저 문을 열고서 한 걸음 내밀면 코 끝으로 전해지는 너의 숨결

*Oh Baby say Goodbye Oh 잠시만 Goodbye 내가 있던 그 자리로 돌아갈게
저 문을 열고서 한 걸음 내밀어 보고 싶던 네 앞에 설 수 있도록
널 사랑했던 이 내 맘이, 널 바라봤던 내 두 눈이… 기다릴게

131110 - Puiyi 姐姐's Birthday.

151110 - William 哥哥's 34th Birthday.

On last Saturday, before heading to the zoo, we had yumcha at Cabramatta at around 9:30AM in the morning so we can eat earlier and go earlier. I haven't been to yumcha in a very long time. It was funny to see Linh ordering the same plate 4x's before she got sick of it LOL. Usually at yumcha, I barely see people order the same thing twice because people just eat a bit of everything that's on the menu or something. Oh! The coke bottles that they gave us was like the ones they used to use in the olden days except they were plastic and not glass. I actually wanted to take one home for memory =) but I don't think they would like that. Many thanks to Raymond for shouting us all yumcha =D!!!

Before going to the zoo, Linh went back home to pick up her cousin, Tammy, and her piano student, Lyn. Linh, Tammy, Lyn and I were in Linh's car, and Raymond and Anthony were in another car. The little girls were full dissing the boys about being losers and slow and that girls are smart ROFLS. I can't believe that I was like that before. I guess I still am like that, but not as much as the kids =D. I need to thank the person who invented GPS. My God. Life is made SO much easier with a GPS. I'd rather read a GPS than a map xD. We got to the Featherdale Wildlife Park within 30 - 45 mins.

I haven't been to any types of zoo for a couple of years so I was pretty excited =D. It was mostly Australian animals, besides a small area called the Farmyard and as you guessed it, there were farmyard animals, but I'll talk about it later. A couple of interesting things happened at the zoo. There were the male peacocks knock out - i guess they were fighting over for territory or something; the workers had to spray them with a hose to stop them from fighting any more. No, they don't actually have a hose at hand just to stop fights, they were washing out the animals' areas. I guess the peacocks didn't like water because they flew up onto the roofs of the shelters. I don't know if they continued fighting on the roof, but I didn't hear any aggressive sounds so I guess they didn't. They weren't the only ones who left their areas. Kangaroos, emus and the Albino peacocks also went jumping all over the place ahahah =D It was pretty cool actually. The Albino animals, the peacocks and wallabies, were really beautiful, especially the peacock =D I was so fascinated by it because it was my first time seeing one =D. I even saw one jumping on the wooden fence and jumping out of its area O_O.

I took a lot of photos of the animals, touched quite a few and fed some too. At first, I thought I saw a lady feeding the animals icecream. You're not suppose to do that because it's bad to feed animals human food; it can affect their appetites and can upset their stomachs. It was only later that I realised that you can actually buy animal feedings in a coin for $1. Of course, we all got a cone each and took this chance to feed the kangaroos and the emus. At first, we were afraid of feeding the emus because people have been telling us that they peck at us if we give them food - unintentionally, of course. So most of the time, we fed the kangaroos, but I wanted to feed the emu as well so i didn't really care about being pecked at. I think I'm kind of used to getting injured by animals anyways (cockatoos, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.). Anyways, they weren't actually that scary at all =D. They may look huge and all, but their beaks are quite blunt and they don't have any teeth either. Everyone else joined it after me. There were two emus but i think one of them was more aggressive than the other. When I was standing next to one of the emus, another emu can along and just pecked my animal transport out of my hands. I squealed because it was all so sudden and out of nowhere =S. It continued pecking at it on the ground and I attempted to take it away from it. I guess it thought it was food since it was green. Oh! Although the exterior feathers are quite rough on the emus, if you touch underneath, it's actually quite soft. Oh, speaking of pecking, another small bird pecked at my leg when I was standing next to its cage lol. It must've been really hungry.

During lunch, everyone else had a hotdog while I just had an icecream because it was too hot to have hot food =S, in my opinion anyways. To kill time, we played that 'rule of the game' game and Anthony was the last one to get the rule hahaha =) It's a pretty fun game because it makes you think, but then you can get pretty frustrated but then you'll feel good if you know the rule and everyone else doesn't =P. After we finished the game, we went to watch the penguins and Tasmanian devils feeding sections and learnt a bit more about them. Our last stop was the Farmyard area and OMG... the animals there were HUGE O_O!!! The turkey, the pig, the goose, etc. were huge!!! I think the one that surprised me the most was the turkey. I swear, I had NO IDEA that a turkey can be so BIG!!! 

Anyways, it was until around 4:30PM that we started heading back. Many thanks to Linh for driving me home =). I had a blast =). I actually had dinner later that night, but I'll continue it on another blog post seeing that this blog post is pretty long already. Here are some photos I took at the zoo:

 Albino Peacock.

 Albino Wallaroo.

 Barking Owl - yes, it really does bark =D.

 Cape Barren Gooses.

 An eagle.

 A kangaroo.

 A kangaroo and its joey.

 Kookaburas.

 Some kind of bird that I do know because I forgot to find its sign with the name on it.

 Penguins and a Great Egret.

The Great Egret.

 Saltwater Crocodile - very big!

Look at this huge ass turkey O_O!!!

 I thought this looked funny =P This sign was at the parking lot outside.
