Brisbane Trip Part#1

A while back in July, Mom and I took a trip down to Brisbane , Australia to see what that brother of mine has been up to. Rumours were that he was a syndicate leader for trafficking humans, others say he was turning gay and wanted to be the hottest asian drag queen.
Haha ok. sorry, all of the above aren't true. Brian is still Brian, just in a whole new different, very cold environment! I miss my brother, him being so far away makes me feel like I don't really have a tai-ko these days. But Brian's gonna graduated next year and hopefully he comes back home!
Anyways, here are some pictures I took whilst I was shopping in Queensbay Mall, Brisbane.
In Brisbane, you can walk everywhere and anywhere! Good for me, I love walking!!
And the air is so sweet and fresh!
The transportation system is very efficient as well. With buses available every 5-10 minutes, you hardly have to watse much time waiting for the bus! (unlike the RapidKLs here in Malaysia)
Their buses have respective stations and places to stop so they don't disrupt traffic conditions. Which is good because the buses and taxis in Malaysia always simply stop anywhere they want to, causing slow-ups and adding to jams during peak hours!
Anyhoo, look at all the candy I found!!!



They have such weird and unique candies, it's no wonder children go trick-or-treating during HAlloween! In Malaysia, you'd probably get Fizzy Colas and Mentos if you trick-or-treat, so might as well buy from Pasar Malam youself! haha MONSTER GOBSTOPPER!!!! I didn't get it because as interesting as it looks, I wouldn't know how to finish it all by me-self!
SPOOKY EYS and some strawberry OOZER! ooooooh



This is the bridge my brother crosses everyday to get to QUT (Queensland University of Technology) It's real nice walking across it with the cool wind blowing at your face! And right where the bridge ends lays an absolutely beautiful botanical garden! When I say botanic, it really is botanic ok! Got ancient giant trees (the kind in Alice in Wonderland!) and huge birds walking around.

Mom's cooking!!! Loving the curry! Australian food bores me to death. I need spicy hot curry!


At a morning market! They have huge sausages everywhere! But it's pretty oily though. (nothing new, since Msia has plenty of oily stuff)
Strawberries there are real cheap and mega sweeeeet! I can't remember how many boxes I had! haha

Feeding a kangaroo.
There are two main types of kangaroos. This, and the red kangaroo.(no it isn't red in colour, i have no idea why it's called red kangaroo) But let me warn you, red kangaroos bite!! and they have really lan si faces! so don't bother feeding them! (yes,i got bitten by a red kangaroo! :( bummer, magical moment destroyed there)
And I didn't manage to find a kangaroo big enough so I could hop into ints pouch and be whisked away in kangaroo frenzy.
too bad.
oooh! I had a roo burger and it was awesome! But I only like Purple Gorillaz's burgers- big, healthy and juicy with lots of ingredients.
yummm.
