Life as a student can never just revolves around books and assignments,
and for students in UTAS, you have only 3 choices : Uni, Home or Nature. I would prefer Nature though.....if I have the monneyh!
It has been weeks since my last outdoor activities (the previous post).
This time, it's about a trip to the tulip festival 2010. Again~ it's an event organized by the Singapore Student Association (SSA). It's spring now and pretty girls flowers are everywhere, and it rains more frequent. About the trip.... ...
We departed from Lounnie at around 9am.
Along the journey, it's not hard to be amazed by all the flowers. Even bushes that seemed like "non-flowering" were busy blossoming besides the highway. Pity those flowering plants in Malaysia.....
bukan saja badan kecik, malah bunga lagi kecik macam nak mampus XD
In Tasmania, it's hard to find normal bikes on the road. You can only see cars, huge trucks and super bikes, and the trucks are like those in Transformers (o__O)
The journey to the festival took us around 2 and a half hours. It's located at the North of Tassie, a place called Wynyard (first introduced by my uncle) and the tulip farm is located at a cape called 'Table Cape".
The journey was rather time consuming and butt-flattening.
However, when you see the water front, you are not far from the destination... ...
Walking to the festival... and it's already tulips everywhere!!!
(Adrenaline shoot up immediately!)
Minutes later, we reached the Farmers' Market, where the locals sold some local snacks and crafts, with some performances by the local artists.
"Why there're only knights walking around? Where's my princess?" l(>_<)/
erbs..... I'm not that desperate till getting one who is so tall.....
GOsh~ girls are hard to find nowadays, especially good one
(no offence girls, don't be so sensitive kay? Or I haven't met you?) XD
Mother & Daughter: Can you hold our hands?
Me : 对不起。。。我听不懂英文..但我看过"The Ring" XP
Since it's a sunny day (yes.... supper SUNNY!!I should have wore my shorts),
I bought myself a mixed berry ice-cream. Yum~Yum!
The German Shepherd is so NICE!!! I felt like riding on it!!!
Be careful....when I'm boring, I stalk on others... including you.
BTW, don't you feel like the couple somehow completed the whole picture?
Blue azure sky with the gentle breeze....
sea with moderate waves hitting against the barrier...
Sea gull skidding along the clouds... shoo-weet!
When people are in pairs....
Few Many unfortunate ones are still on the wait
(me too~sad...but LONG LIFE TO the SINGLEs! 单身万岁!haha... this is what you say when you're still single)
When the guys were busy throwing their attention on HOT CHICKs and girls drooling on the handsome+muscular hunks who walked pass hours ago, the kids were caught in the "
Tulips throw-away" competition. Winner will get
a tray of tulips XP
My friend: 吃饱没事做?haha...
Since I'm not good in girls-fishing nor tulips-throwing, better get my self some thing more realistic. FOOD!!! We live to eat, not eat to live!!
I found my self attracted to a stall selling scallop pies.
When I asked the scallop pie seller what's inside, he said "
scallops!" (with a smile on her face)
Me :"... ...ABO?" (totally blank) (=___+)
The I asked again what ELSE is inside the pie besides the scallops, she replied "the filling"
Me: "... ..." (this time I'm TOTALLY JAMMED!!..haha)
But I still ended up buying it...haha
After spending another one and a half hour at the market, we headed towards the
TULIP FARM!!! It took us another 15 minutes to reach the farm.
From far.... it's like "Anneh nia?" ('just like' that in Hokkien)
Brother, don't judge a farm by it's gate size.
But when you get nearer, you'll absolutely loose your breath....... (suffocating....)
and when you figured out there's another piece in a walking distance..... (fainted)
Indulging myself in the sea of tulips.... I wish I could swim around the farm....
ahhhh~ breatstroke, freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, doggiestyle... X))
My companion of the day - Aqil a.k.a Ei-Kill.
Red arr!!! ONG arr!!! HUAT arr!!! haha....
However,I'm totally speechless when I'm found this...
Tulip MASSACRE !!!
花开易见落难寻,阶前愁杀葬花人;
独把花锄偷洒泪,洒上空枝见血痕
Later, the whole troop went to a beach to have our BBQ dinner....
The cape can be viewed clearly from the beach and nothing can defeat the beauty of that. Agree?
While waiting for the BBQ to start, I explored the beach which was in the state of low tide.
FOSSILs???
ARRRRrrhhhh!!! The dinner still haven't started after we have strayed around the beach for more than half an hour.... That's when the devil came in X)
Aqil :"Song, jom naik helicopter!"
Song: "WHAT? "
Aqil :"I said H-E-L-I-C-O-P-T-E-R! Pandai!"
Song :" Crazy~ I dah pokai laah... But nevermind, I watch you when you naik"
Aqil :"OK!"
Without noticing (I'm
innocent, okay?) , I paid the money and there we go.... haha
For your information, my wallet went totally flat after that.
直升机:万岁!
钱包:我呢??
我:钱包~收声啦!
me and the pilot!
God~ it's worse than playing the flight simulation !!
When we were in the air, I didn't notice that the microphone is actually fucntioning.... and I keep
"Wahhh....... Wahh....Wow...Wow....Walau.....Walau... (trying to suck in more oxygen)..... Amboi..... Amboi....." *repeated at least 20 times*
Those are the only things I said throughout the whole 10 minute flight.... and my friend asked me "Do you know the microphone is switched on throughout the whole trip?"
ALAMAK... haha... paiseh~paiseh
After the helicopter ride, we went back to the beach and continue my
'Sea-RA the adventurer'
Hi Crabby Baby!
It looked like cockroach, don't you think so?
After the BBQ, we waited for the fire works before calling it a day.
