at the moment i am posting this post via the internet from my hotel at cairns. it's nice here, i quick getaway from the bustling hubbub in old melbourne town. the sound of the music here is so relaxing, easing me from the anxieties i had back in victoria.
from the nineteenth of dec until of late, i've just been having good old fashioned quality family time. and that doesn't just go for immediate family, it goes out to my extended as well. pretty much seeign cousins everyday, playing monopoly, cluedo and computer boggle. the bonding was GOOD.
another summary of my holidays is listed below (what the hell, why so formal, miranda?)

02/01/10 -
left for cairns at 9:35. arrived 12:00 (cairns time). explored the city. it was sad because sitting on a bench were some Aboriginals, well. it wasn't exactly like that, one was on the bench, the other, on the floor. the one sitting on the bench told the one lying down to get up, but people kept staring. when the ambulance arrived to pick the one lying down up, the one on the bench had had enough of the glances and shouted "whatchu looking at?!". that really saddened me. wel i can't express it here because it's hard to express what i felt at the time. later i went swimming at the hotel pool. peace of mind.
03/01/10 -
left hotel at around ten in the morning to get on a bus to skyrail. when we reached there, we went on the gondola, soaring above the daintree forest. the view was amazing, there were two creek and the dense mass of the forest was below us. mum (being a typical asian tourist) pointed out on an eagle soaring not far away from us. unbelievable. AN EAGLE. later we walked aroudn the forest for a little bit and i really liek the umbrella trees, their shape is so unique. went to kuranda and tested a few samples of honey at the honey house, went to koala gardens where i stroked some kangaroos, saw a frill-necked lizard go spaz cus it saw us, and a wombat (except its butt was facing us cus it's so lazy z_z). after went home by the scenic train, and took in a sweeping view of the forest. got lost from the train station as well...
04/01/10 -
got up at aorund 6 to go sailing to the great barrier reef. at first i was liek "oh, didn't get seasick" but like when we went from the brown-grey water of the pier to the blue water of the great barrier reef, it started to get choppy. my head swayed to and fro, seasickness struck me FML. went swimming on the reef at around 12. fed a batfish, haha it was so cute cus when it collected the food, it made a sucking sound, like a vacuum cleaner. SO CUTE!! slept on the boat for about 4 hours, waking up in between. eating pasta and stuff. on the way home i started to feel better after the sleep.
