Mummy's Co Family Day '09

The venue for this year is Downtown East. Ring a bell? Yes, it was held there last year as well. Differences? Hmm...not that hot and not that crowded (maybe due to school holidays), they also do away with the packet food and gave us vouchers instead. Similarities? Well...Mummy didn't win the lucky draw again. Hahaa...

On a happier note, Mummy managed to get an extra ticket and we invited Yiyi Agar to join us. She was also our photographer for the day. See! Nothing comes free..hurhur...

That's us, waiting to board the Ferris Wheel.

I chicken out on this ride. I shall let Didi have the honour and bravery.

Chilling out at D’Marquee with a free flow of pop corns while waiting for the Talentine to kick start.

What a steal from down under!

Mummy bought this from Brisbane - Target. It costs only A$15.90 after discount. What a steal! Who says you can't play when you eat? *tsk*

Brisbane '09 - Day 6 & 7

We left Surfer Paradise, went shopping in Pacific Fair before heading to our last destination - Brisbane City. We stayed at Rydges SouthBank hotel on Day 6 and 7. Checked out the Southbank view!

We had dinner at "The Point Restaurant" - an award winning restaurant for fine dining. I had my own kid's meal and it was yummy!

Daddy had lamb, Mama had fish and Mummy had pork. What a combination!

The colourful building is the Conrad Treasury Casino. The building really stood out in the night. These pictures were taken from the 2 nights we were staying in the city. Hmm..seems to be a different colour every night.

We took this ferris wheel on our last night there. Where is Mama? She is helping the Australia's economy...hitting the Casino!

Note: On Day 7, it was raining the entire day. We had actually planned to visit Koala Lone Sanctuary and had actually made our way there. However, it was raining and by chance, we found a Direct Factory Outlet in Jindalee area. Mummy, Daddy and even Mama went crazy with the sales and Mummy was shopping even when she was down to her very last penny.

Brisbane '09 - Day 5

A morning shot from our balcony.

Note: Morning breaks at around 5AM in Australia - Summer season.

We headed to Centro Surfer Paradise for our Quack Quack tour. Yeah! I meant Duck Tour.

Yet another "tattoo". We are hooked! Check out my blue Koala!

This man is really good. He didn't even move a slight bit until someone threw a coin in and yes, he is 100% real.

After a tiring day of shopping and shopping, we decided to have dinner at this restaurant called "The Captain's Table". And gosh! This is by far the most horrible oysters Mummy ever tasted. The smell was so bad and you know it wasn't fresh at all. Daddy feedback to the waitress but she didn't do anything but said something like Oh! We don't normally have many people ordering oyster...blah blah blah! Luckily the wine and food turned out better than expected.
