well I am back from the Gold Coast, where it was supposed to be sunny. Instead half the trip we were sitting on our asses in a taxi, because it was raining.I'll shall copy this post directly from my journal, since that pretty much summed it up. Mind you, this comes from a pretty active girl (or so I thought) during the school week. Okay, brace yourselves for a long post.Monday 27th Sept. 2010 GOLD COAST: DAY ONE - SEAWORLD  Flew from Sydney at 8:45, meaning we were at the airport at freaking 6 o'clock. WAY too early, since i only got to bed at about 2AM. Felt gross on the plane, which was 2 hours. We actually finished checking in at 7:45AM, (coz my fam misjudged the time), and we SAT ON OUR ASSES FOR THE NEXT HOUR + THE TWO HOURS ON THE PLANE. The only thing good about the plane was that we boarded from the stairs, like how the celebrities board the plane >>>After the plane, we had more SITTING ON OUR ASSES = taxi to hotel = 30 minutes. However it wasn't check-in time, so we wandered to the shops looking around. Fortunately, THAT was a walk. We got a super early lunch (it was 11:00AM for goodness sakes!), and it was at an Italian restuarant. I am mortally afraid of Italian restaurants. I think it was the amount of food they serve. I was proved correct, but fortunately i only ordered a garden salad. However, it was HUGE. If i wanted to, i could've survived 3 days on that amount. In the end, i only ate about 1/8 of it, which was mostly cucumber. :D So, at 1PM we dumped our stuff back into the hotel (after checking-in) and went to Seaworld. After MORE SITTING ON OUR ASSES in a taxi, we saw the many different attractions that Seaworld boasts of. We ended up seeing the sea lion show and the dolphin show ONLY. How lame. My fam go all the way to the Gold Coast, and on the first day, only watch two shows. We didn't even get a chance to go on any rides the first day.However, I had time to go swimming at the hotel afterwards. :) Back to the hotel, we had a really early dinner (since it was mostly waiting for the food to arrive) i got a wild mushroom and asparagus risotto (haha no meat). Again, when it came out it was HUGE, and i only was able to eat about 1/8 of the rice, and most of the tiny portion of mushrooms and asparagus. Seriously? it was mostly rice. UGH. Anyways, that was my boring first day at the Gold Coast. Tuesday 28th Sept. 2010 GOLD COAST: DAY TWO - MOVIEWORLD Rain. Traffic Jam. Rain. Congestion. Rain. Gridlock. Totally ruined my day. Yes we went movieworld, but only after 2 hours of taxiing, trying to find my contact lenses' remover thingy. It wasn't my fault really, that it wasn't there, since my MUM forgot to bring it, but as usual, decided to pin the blame on me. So after searching in numerous shopping centers around the suburbs, (before finding only one optometrist who could help) my sister got fed up with me, and literally shouted the house down to yell at me. What a great way to start the day, But good thing with breakfast! I only had a small plate of watermelon/rockmelon, and two tablespoons of scrambled eggs (which was watery, for some reason). When we finally got to movieworld, mum wanted happy snaps, ie PICTURES. So we took some "happy snaps" (that weren't very happy) and wandered around the themepark for a while. OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! They had a Harry Potter shop!!!!! Note: I am an avid Harry Potter fanatic. People in my class at school have been known to shied away from me when I mention Harry Potter. I am SO EXCITED to see the new movie, coming on November 19 (well, in Australia it is November 19)!!! Unfortunately, the HarryPotter Shop wasn't open til one o'clock, so my fam - being the ever-so-focused-on-food people they are - decided to get lunch, Luckily, since my dad knew there was going to be fast food there, and i obviously was not going to eat it, he "very nicely" prepared a salad for me, consisting of a cucumber (sliced), carrots (sliced), and strawberries. There was also tuna in the salad, but i didn't touch it. No tuna for me. In the end, I only went on one ride, since soon after we finished lunch, it was pouring rain. Really suddeny and really heavily too. I hate rain when it interferes with my daily schedule. I so wanted to go on a rollercoaster, but since it was raining, and lightning too, i couldn't. Oh wells. When we left MovieWorld, it was still raining heavily, and on top of that, the traffic was terrible! It normally would take us 30 minutes maximum to get back to the hotel, but it took us 3 freaking hours in the taxi to get back. Not only was it raining, and cold, but half the road was closed off too!!!! So when I finally reached the hotel again, it was about 5 o'clock, meaning dinner preparation time. So i went out and bought sushi for myself. Total calorie of dinner? Well, i had one piece tuna nigiri(35), and two pieces shrimp nigiri (60), plus the rice from the tofu (60). So that equals to 155cals. Wednesday 29th Sept. 2010 GOLD COAST: DAY THREE - THE BEACH Instead of going to "Country Paradise", my family opted to go to the beach. It was very surreal, since I noticed that there were not many "fat" people on the beach, just a lot of average people with pot bellies. So yeah was a very boring day for me. Had a salad of cucumber and carrot only. And dinner (at 4:30PM!!!) of chickpeas and pumpkins. ONly finished half though, WTH? i looked it up at http://www.dlife.com/diabetes/diabetic-recipes/Pumpkin-and-Chickpea-Salad/r4778.html, and it was only about 120 cals!!! I seriously don't believe I had a 60 cal dinner, so im going to overshoot it totally and say it was no more than 200cals. Flew home on Wednesday, and just fell asleep. So no exercise. |
