Bris Vegas!


Very sorry for the late update.
So we went to Brisbane over the weekend. The first time away left Crosby and Ali alone at home keeping each other company. I left the pink nightie which I had been wearing for a week for them before we left coz Francis told me the smell of me on the cloth would make them feel better. I reckon it must be true. Coz they have been so good while we were away. Didn't even make any mess at all!
Was an early flight: 6.05AM! Booked a cab at 4.30AM on Saturday and here comes our short but full of surprise journey to Bris Vegas! :)
Arrived in Brisbane at 7.15AM local time. Jumped on the train and got to the city. Our hotel located just down the George St. about 1 min walk to Brisbane River. Was early there so the room was not ready when we got there. So we went for a breakfast buffet. Was absolutely lovely.
Then we walked back to the hotel checked in and got a very lovely room with the view of Brisbane River.
Rest a little bit then head to Queen St. Okay, I have to admit the fact that I am such a hopeless shopaholic. . Yes, I literally spent more than half of the precious day in Brisbane doing nothing but shopping...
Later, we walked back, got changed and headed to...casino... It was quite pleasant experience.
About 6PM. We jumped on the cab and headed to the Cloudland Bar in Fortune Valley where Libby's surprise party was. Such a nice bar!
I was very good for the whole night. Well, I managed to talk to Nick, Luke, Ben and Libby for the whole time. And the snack was absolutely lovely!!!!
Nick took me the the China Town right next to the bar after the party and it was Chinese New Year's Eve and there was fire cracker everywhere!!! How exciting it was!
Forgot when we went to bed but it was late and Luke called at 8.30am on the next day for breakfast. So we went to this Dome Cafe on George St right next to our hotel. The breakfast was absolutely awesome. And the chat was amazing. Oh, by the way, we went to Canon Park afterwards. Nick insisted to take a picture there just for proving that I have other friends than him. :( That is so not true!!! :(
After the breakfast, well, it's more like brunch as by the time we finished it, was about 12. We checked out in the hotel and Nick took me to the museum, art gallery and garden afterwards. Was so warm in Brisbane. I was literally melting... Oh, btw, we went to that man made beach!!! God, that was so bizarre!! Anyway, we went shopping afterwards. Nick bought me the mask in Aesop and was that much close to buy me a ring. But we couldn't find the Tiffany store in Brisbane. Not even sure if there is one. And, oh yeah, he took me to the massage! My virgin massage!!! Felt a little bit weird. So ticklish. =\
We had Korean food for dinner and head to airport later. So glad, my flight wasn't delayed or anything at all considering Victor gave me the heads up about how terrible JetStar was. I reckon it's not too bad. Just very small.
Flew in at 9.30 and got cab home at 10.
So glad to be home again! :)
And of course, so glad that we had such a lovely weekend! LOVE Brisbane! :)
