Under the sea, under the sea

To compensate ourselves for overworking, kit kat and me took the dinner cruise last Thursday night with seafood buffet along gold coast. It was good for chilling out and relaxing the mind. Got a few weirdos on-board (including us) that helped to keep the boat entertained although there was a live performance on board too.

We flew to Cairns on Friday for the weekend and stayed in port douglas. The whole saturday was spent at the great barrier reef. For the first time, i actually got over my phobia of the deep blue sea n snorkelled next to all the big fishes! Of course i was clinging on to the floating rope for my life.. The corals were beautiful. We did the underwater observatory and submarine thingy too. It's a pity the light spectrum in the sea was limited, restricting the colours of the corals..

On Sunday, we did the Kuranda train n skyrail thingy to see the rainforest. It's a pity we didn't have that much time to spend touring the markets in the village, but trust me, we are totally over forestations. I'd rather go to a zoo next time.

Reality sinks in when we're back in brisbane. I really have to finish my work now and get out of here to go newcastle. The only consolation is that, i'm driving a car with a GPS now to avoid being lost. Then again, i'm already so familiar with the roads that i don't need a GPS now... Whatever.
