Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~!

How are your holidays everyone!?
I know i'm just a tad very late but er...
MERRY CHRISTMAS and 
Taken by ME from MY instagram kekekeke

Coming from a asian family, we didn't really celebrate christmas but i DID get christmas presents which i am TOTALLY loving. BUT i will share that with you guys in another post :)

So back to celebrations, yea we didn't do any of that.
INSTEAD, we spent 3 days at a apartment in gold coast RIGHT next to the beach and then spent 3 days in the mountains with no shower and a toilet that smelt like vomit and well, POOP mixed together and placed right in front of ya. 
Get the idea? ^^
Way to experience the extremes huh >.>

Apartment tour!
The walls look a bit distorted because i used panorama because i wanted to show the full view lah 


Bedroom with a telescope to peek at the buildings nearby xD

The best bathroom ever!

except for the fact that the spa was broken and it couldn't be fixed within the time that we stayed for..T^T
But we still got to enjoy their facilities privately!
We had the gym, indoor swimming pool, spa and sauna all to ourselves since we went at the latest time possible
Something i found funny about the design of the bathroom:
There was a window next to the spa that allowed you to view the...bedroom?
I think the purpose was to see the beach while you're in the spa but errr nope!
Not possible. The only thing within view is the bed :D
Random bathroom selfie lah

Kitchen that was just meh lah

The apartment was AMAZING mostly because it was so clean
so different to our house haha
but lets not forget how beautiful the view was~






Mummy pig posing haha



During our stay at gold coast, we also visited movie world and wet 'n' wild~!

Movie world was having a White Christmas special at the time and we decided to get extra tickets since they had a buffet that was apparently quite good according to some friends who's already been


Talk about 'ren shan ren hai'!

However, things did NOT go as planned because the deal was you either eat in the buffet or watch the show. And we only found out about that after we went through the trouble of getting good seats!
So we ended up just eating hamburgers and fries on the stands..
So much for a big christmas dinner huh?

This lady here has the best job in the world i reckon!

I wish i could get payed to fly :D
A white christmas is not white without snow right?
Well, movie world took care of that because they brought the snow to the movie world!
haha not sure if you can see it but it's the white circles in the picture above...
not that realistic i know but hey they tried :)



neat dress huh?

The parade that everyone was waiting for finally started and Santa came sleding out!





 took these photos with my mum's iphone and apple, you really need to improve the resolution because...well, it sucks :)

Decided to snap one last picture of this magical-ness on the way out
taken with camera instead of iPhone btw..in case you were wondering why the resolution is so different

purchased my most wanted item since november when i saw a little kid wearing this to movie world

Muahaha i shall be wearing this next time i go again xD
We also went to Wet 'n' wild like i said earlier but we have no photos at all since we stored all our stuff in the lockers so yea..but i'm sure you all know what a water park looks like lah

To finish off the year, i went boxing day shopping with Helen and her mum to spent my hard earned money on stuff i might not even need...

my favourite buy of the day was this little black dress ^3^
Shirley Likey xD

A few days later, we headed up to the mountains for our camping trip!

Stopped at Maccas on the way to treat myself to some macaroons~

I only remembered to take a photo after finishing most of it..errr
but 6 macaroons for $10 is not a bd deal! not bad at all :D
Look how cute the watermelon flavour is~ its even got seeds! ^^

First thing after arriving: building the tent of course!

Our tent was famous i tell ya!
People actually came up to us and called it a mansion haha
And then they all asked where we got it and said they were going to go buy it when they get back.
BCF you own us some advertisement fee :L
Bedroom~
we only bought one air mattress so we had to use it side ways to fit
unfortunately for my parents, they had a problem with fitting their legs on and luckily for me, i was short enough to fit :D YAY 

Right after we finished building the tent, my parents fell asleep...leaving me with an empty stomach and my ipad to entertain me =_=


After they finally woke up, it was time to cook dinner and my dad decided that it was the perfect time to throw our knife into a tree?

And then we had to waste our limited amount of clean water to wash it...nice dad -______-

Amazing scenery from a viewing deck near our camping site 0_0

Going on a bush walk and passed a river where all the little kids jumped in fearlessly to swim despite the freezing water @.@ 

On our way back from the destination of the bush walking, we decided that instead of walking the path we've already walked coming up, it would be more interesting to go back through the river way :D
So we jumped from rock to rock and climbed over tree trunks just because we're a weird family and like to do things the hard way xD

Group photo! Find me!
My dad has officially fallen in love with camping so guess what?
We have another camping trip scheduled in 2 weeks!

So that basically sums up our christmas!
For new years, we actually didn't really do much because as chinese people, we celebrate the lunar new year instead of the new year on the 1st of Jan.

As a small celebration though, we did go to see the Brisbane River fireworks which i shall now be flooding you photos of:









Lastly, a picture to hint at my christmas present mentioned earlier :D
So that has been my christmas and new years....and with no further ado, i shall now end this post right here
