Firemen, My Super Hero.

forget about batman, superman, spider man, flash and wonder woman.
because my super hero is now officially
the Queensland Fire fighters.
as i woke up this morning and entered the bathroom to brush my teeth, i was stuck in the bathroom. i screamed to wake my room mate who is still sleeping. thankfully she wasn't in deep sleep and together with my other house mate, the both of them tried to save me but in vain.
i was dying in hunger in the bathroom for i had not taken my breakfast. lol i know i should be worrying of other things but i could only think of food at that time.
after much effort, both of them decided to call the fire department and in a few minutes later, four firemen came to rescue me. AND I MUST SAY those firemen are just so BOOM BOOM POW!
muscular, hunk, huge, strong, big, hot, charming, handsome... what more can i say.
they even helped to repaired my faulty door.
and
i knew they are my Superhero. HAHAHA..
so that's my experience living in the bathroom for about 30 to 45 minutes in hunger. lol.

You are Not Forgotten

my 5SC1 class

as i was chatting with one of my friends back in Malacca yesterday, she told me that she was afraid that i might forget all of them back home because i have a great bunch of friends in Brisbane.
I was mortified.
perhaps i had not been keeping in touch with them very often that they might felt left out in my life.
i am writing this post now to let you guys know how much you guys changed my life.
though i have a great bunch of friends over here,
YOU GUYS ARE JUST YOU GUYS.

when i had the opportunity to skip from Standard 3 to Standard 5, i wasn't really having the best time in my life. when i entered standard 5 and 6, i was still timid for friends at those time disliked me. i still could remember when i received 'surat layang' from my classmates telling me that i should leave their class and i was an intruder. that particular 'surat layang' created a huge havoc in the principal office and my home. that was when i was in standard 5. when i was in standard 6, one of my classmates stole my very precious autograph book which i took ages to get it done. even after 9 years later, i still could not figure out who did those two evil things to me. but some things are just meant not to be known.
when i was in form one, i felt even more scared when i was placed in 1 Biru, the second last class in my whole form. at that time, i really detest the way the school placed the students randomly in any classes. and at that time, my class was beside 1 Jingga. the class which jyi and darlynn were in it. i really disliked that class for no particular reasons. hahahaa.. please don't ask me why.
and finally i was in 2 merah, the first class.
i was placed in a class with students i hardly known at all.
time flies and till i was in form 4 where i met my true friends.
and in form 5, that was the best part of my school life.
sitting beside jyi who is freaking genius in math and physics, definitely made my life so much easier. and getting to know li lin who has these cute gestures when she was angry and siang with the HUGE HUGE LOUD laugh that makes everyone laugh too. and there goes luah and lynna, the two with similar height who sat in front of me and who always urged us to pass up our books. and behind me, was pin and cheryl who always complain they can't see the board.
and eunice who sat right at the end of the class who was so emo when Germany lost in the semifinals in the world cup. and yuin yi sitting beside me who was always sleeping during lessons. i remember everything so well because those images are just not meant to be forgotten.

xoxo,
shen.

Frozen Winter In Surfers Paradise

after spending the whole morning in harbour town ( the so called shopping paradise which i absolutely disagreed for i BOUGHT NOTHING from there), we left for surfers paradise as the dark clouds started to form on the blue sky.
it must have been the craziest and the most spontaneous plan we ever made to visit Surfers Paradise during winter.
holy crap! we are out of mind.

those Crystal blue sea greeted us definitely reassured us that our decision of coming there was right.
despite the strong waves on that day and cold freezing weather, we spotted people swimming and surfing.
but still no NAKED babes unfortunately. no sun, no sunbathing definitely.

three guys peeing looking into the sea.

emo dude at the thought of commiting suicide. kidding. +_+

surfers boards.
big waves on that day with tonnes of surfers enjoying every single moment of it.

playing around with the golden soft sand, comparing who can stand without sinking into the wet sand.

the wind was extremely strong on that day.
the seagulls could not even soar into the sky.
every single time when they tried to fly, they will remain in the same position, flapping their wings with difficulty.
photographers flashed their cameras out to capture every single moment of those.
beautiful.

ya ya ya i know my name look horrible for i scribbled it using my big fat toe.

me and him peeking into the blue sky and sea.
is this the first picture of us together in my blog? uh oh.

with leslie @ ah pek....... check out the surfers pack behind us.

alright.no more one picture of us but two.

me and my roomie flipping into the air.

and great someone horrendously spoiled our beautiful picture. lol.

all of us who came out with those weird ideas of going to the beach during winter.

check out those rough waves.

little footsteps embedded on the soft sand.

muahahaha love the two of you girls so much.
my companion in queensland and in pharmacy course too.

before we left the beach, we were entertained with the most gorgeous rainbow i ever saw in my life.
solid 7 colours spotted in an orange sky.
mesmerizing beauty

xoxo,
the surfing shen.

Spot On Creatures

Dear Australia Zoo ( one of the most pretigous zoo in australia),
yes i have visited you.
You did not really WOW me in the begining with all those marsupials even though they are rare in the world. Perhaps the small sizes of those animals weren't really a wow at first sight unlike those zoos back in Malaysia which are loaded with Hippotamus, orang utans, giraffes - those big big huge huge animals that amaze those kids.
but australia zoo definitely exposed me to different kind of animals found in the world...more precisely australia alone.
*
*
*
and
the most adorable creature i have seen on that day was
*
*
*
myself.
wakkakaka.

yeah to friends who call me piglet, those are only piglets and i don't look any much similiar to them.

and that's me.
I do not have any resemblances to those three little piglets.
hahaha...
understand??? lol.

we arrived at australia zoo pretty early but the journey to sunshine coast took us nearly two hours. we left two of our friends behind and they had to take the later train. initially, we were TOTALLY CRAZY for approaching the counter without even preparing a single cash or counting the money in our debit card. we were totally ashamed when we realised we were out of money for all our cash were in those two latecomers' hands.

alligator lizard was the first animal that greeted us upon the entrance of the zoo.

huge heavy kodomo dragon.

cute cuddly otter
but i must say those otters have the SMELLIEST cage in the zoo.

the directory board in the zoo.

long lost brother of my dear titi song (my turtle teddy). hahaha.

met the irwin's family. cute little son they had for sure.

the replica of the world biggest crocodile in the world.

those three little piglets in the barn.

sheepos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! touch their wool and it feels so good.

shen got overexcited with those adorable mek-mek sounds produced by those lambs.
I MISS YOU MARY ANNE!!! mek mek. i spotted you in australia zoo.
what an honour. lol.

cutie pies and cuddly aren't they?

prestigous red dingoes with high egoism.

majestic bird in the zoo found in australia that i, unfortunately forgotten the name of it.

in memory of the ever loveable crocodile hunter.

admiring all those messages written on Steve Irwin's uniforms.

echnida! spiky they could be but i could not resist their big bumps and cuteness.

i am so in love with you.
gimme a kiss you little joey!

PONY! short leggy but yet so cute.

patting koala's round pinkish butt.

koala could be possibly one of the laziest animal on earth, requiring 20 hours of sleep per day
but when they are awake, they could be possibly the cutest animal on earth for sure.

and YES WE CAUGHT A PICTURE OF SMILING KOALA!

Playing around those tame kangaroos in the roo heaven.

boys felt intimidated with the six pegs the kangaroo had.

duckies!!

MY FAVOURITE ANIMAL OF ALL!
the most adorable animal on earth.
MR WOMBAT!!
yes you might be fat.
yes you might have big butt ( just like me)
yes you might be dull in colour.
yes you might be round.
yes you might have rough skin too.
but
no matter how your appearance are,
you still remained as the cutest marsupial on earth.

exhausted friends dozing off in the train on our journey back to roma street.
there were still many more animals in the zoo with tiger island, elephatansia, red pandas, mangarove island and etc, but the laziness of me had gotten the most of me. uploading pictures into your blog can be pretty tiring at times. pardon me for that.
but australia zoo trip was definitely a worthwhile experience and exposure on maruspials.

xoxo,
the wombatty shen.
