OMG Holiday back

ok ok ok so much stuff but

all of a sudden i cannot be bothered typing it all up

Highlights

Tiger Airways is so efficient they called us to "board" a non-present plane. Everyone kinda just stood there for 30 minutes and looked around, lookin for the plane we were supposed to board.

On the cruise ship, there is a casino that opens when the ship is in international waters, and you can enter at 18 (as opposed to 20 here in New Zealand) I earned $10 bucks in a game called "Casino War". Basically, you get a card, the dealer gets a card, higher number wins lol.

Darwin is a bizarre cross between Malaysia and New Zealand. Tropical weather, fans, air-con, but people don't quadruple park.

Deckchair Cinema (www.deckchaircinema.com). Watched two movies/films, Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times (which is really good. He's such a legend considering he did the directing acting and music, and the lack of spoken dialogue really doesn't detriment at all to the storytelling)

And, Triplets of Belleville. Great characterization, fantastic music, totally enjoyable.

"Hi! How are you! Where are you from? Japan? No? You look like Japan. Come, come look at my T-shirts"

"I don't want to buy anything"

"Come look"

"I don't want to"

"Come look" *deathgrip*

"ok"

*look for two seconds. depart*
I took 5 rolls of film. Gonna cost a bit to develop lol.

Darwin is really friendly city. Considering they got bombed by the Japanese and flattened by a Cyclone.

Don't know what else happened. Three weeks now seems like yesterday.

Such is time, hay?! UNIVERSITY SOON hope you're all ready

Still gutted I'm not a Straight A student any more. This totally kills any motivation I had to study, not that I had much to begin with. I guess from here on out it's take it as it goes :)

Dennis' present is at 82% completion as we speak. Okay, I kinda made up that percentage but it'll be ready! IT WILL BE.

For comfortable traveling I do not recommend doing the route we did. But it's cheap.

This holiday has gone

Auckland, New Zealand --> Kuching, Malaysia --> Singapore --> Phuket, Thailand --> Langkawi, Malaysia --> Singapore --> Darwin, Australia --> Brisbane, Australia --> Auckland, New Zealand.

My passport was updated recently and stuff, and I have to apply for a Visa transfer. It's really funny they also like quizzed me on what I was doing in Thailand etc.

Cruise ship m'gosh how does it float?! It's crazy. And there's so many people on board. So many crew! And the shows yay lots of chinese people on one bicycle, midget shaolin kungfu master, sexy south american dancers :D

ok i think thats all i can be stuffed to say atm. bye. hope everyones doing well (and damn it's cold here -_-)
