Kiama trip...

14 October 2007

It was a clear sunny day, a perfect time for a lil' bit of journey. We [Steve, Denise, Michael, Liying and Sella] decided to have a little car ride to Kiama. This journey took us approximately 2 hours non-stop. Thought it was going to be awfully boring and so, yet it wasn't. The fact is, we slept all the way to Windang, our first stop, except for Steve and Michael, or else, who's going to drive. Right?? might as well just sleep at home. lol.

We started our journey to Eastgarden to have our breakfast. We ate McDonalds [what a surprise. *sarcastic*] This is the car which made things happen. lol.

All the girls were sleeping along the way, so we didn't know much what happen along the journey. I managed to catch a picture before I totally "soul-less". :)) As soon as we reach the destination, the speedometer showed a great number... "77777".. my lucky number!

We arrived at Windang beach, the sun was so glaring, yet I still felt cold from the wind. But after a while, I don't feel the cold anymore. I was covered with excitement. Pictures and more pictures! I love my new camera...... And the macroshot does look good, doesn't it???
All of us were playing at the beach, yet this lonely girl just sat there do nothing but taking pictures of her feet. Yep, I do agree I wont be able to beat her narcissm in any kind of level. :))

But still she looks cute and gorgeous in any kind of angle.. I joined her for a while, then asked her to walk around the beach with me.. We decided to take a picture, the view there was sooooo amazing. I'll give you $1000 if you can find this kind of view at Jakarta. lol. The view was breathtaking. These are some last shot before we left Windang beach.
Right before we leave, this family caught my attention. The father is the surf-livesafer. He has 3 kids. two of them around the same age, and the other one is the youngest of all, which is super cute... They all trying to play a sand-surf. The bigger brothers were so excited to play and sometimes they argued for the board. But this youngest brother, he didn't seem to bother about the board or anything else. What he did was, he jumped off from the top of the sand, and landed with his face. lol. it was so funny!! I know it sounds harsh, but if you were there, you'll laugh your ass off. I had the video of them, but it's just too big. It's 12mb... Is there anyone know or have the software to compressed the video?? let me know if you do....

After the beach, we went to the lake nearby.. It is called Lake Illawara. The lake was shallow, there was a lot of small fish, and lots of jellyfish around. You do know what jellyfish is right?? Unless you are mike.. (he knows NOTHING)
The lake was good and we took lots of pictures there.. Start from inside the lake itself, the docks around the lake, even between all those tall grasses which makes us looks like in the middle of jungle. lol. Enough with the talking, let the picture tells...





I never knew that my boyfriend, somehow, can be so narcist. Even more than me.. lol. Here's some of his pictures...
This guy, you dont have to ask about anything. I can assure you that he's 100% narcist!!
for him, it took more than 10 pictures to get a perfect one. So steve spend almost half an hour just to take a couple of shot of this guy. lol.

But no one can beat the nature of our narcissm.. Even on our way to the car park, we managed to take this couple of jumping shot. And it took us like.... 5 mins to get the perfect one. It's in our BLOOD. We didn't even have to try so hard, it happened just like that!! (*fingersnap*)
Apparently the boys felt left behind. They tried to follow our style.. See how the outcomes are...

1. it was partly successful. Steve jumped with an X shape yet Mike made a straight line.

2. unsuccessful. They haven't even jump. But you should see their facial expression. Constipated

3. unsuccessful. Mike managed to jumped, and Steve managed to scared a little kid away. lol.

4. they gave up and walked away.

5. tried to give another try, yet still unsuccessful. Mike looks retarded.

6. Final Attempt.. thank GOD! SUCCESSFUL!!!

Steve didnt feel so satisfy of his jumping picture with Mike. He chose a solo career. See how it became.. Lmao! "Let's chased the little kid and do some kind of ballet move to make it more graceful"

From all of the stupidity there, Li Ying managed to make a "Piece of Nature"...
She's so good at taking pictures. She knows which angle is the best and which shot suits for this and that.... She should be taking photography rather than accounting! lol. You cant shot numbers liying!! ;))
Left the Windang beach and Lake Illawara, headed to the Blow Hole... (Mike, it's the opposite of Blow JOB. :p). Last time I went here, I didnt have the chance to see the blow hole. Because that time, the day was "wind-less". But this time such a great timing to see the blow hole.. The wind blew so hard, and the waves were bigger than the one at Bondi. Anyway, maybe some of you dont know what blow hole is... Well it is a formation of rock above the see, and it has a hole in the middle of the formation. And the hole is the closest point to the water, so everytime the waves come, it burst out form the whole and make some kind of huge splash..
After blowhole, we decided to have our lunch there. We found place and started our picnic. We brought steak and salad. We ate for about an hour. We sat directly under the sun, so it was really hot, and i got a weird uneven tan on my leg! Hate it!!!! Luckily it's fading away now. But you still can see.!

Lunch was over, time for PICTURESS!!! we took quite a lot of pictures here. And there was picture of Steve piggyback me. and Mike piggyback Steve and Me! how cool is that.. lol

Took off from blow hole, we headed to Wollongong to see the biggest temple which I forgot the name is. The temple was huge.. And these are some pictures at the temple. There were funny pictures here.. Me, Steve and Mike were pretending as a Kungfu master, and showing off our own style. [Mike - Wong Fei Hung; Denise - Eagle; Steve - Monkey style]
There were quite a number of a small kid statues outside the temples with varies of style. We decided to pick one of the statue and imitate the style.. Here's the pictures...

Moving forward, we went to another temple which has 5 different Buddha, with 5 different hand style.. and here we are trying to imitate the statues... :)))

BUDDHA BLESS YOU

On our way to car, since the temple closed already, Liying found her longlost friends.. The squirell was there holding a stick, and Liying couldn'e help herself but to join her friends. lol
We totally never give up the style.. We tried to do our jumping shot together. It was really hard, because everytime we tried to took with autoshot, the picture will always kind of weird. Sometimes we jumped too fast and too slow. Lucky these shots were good. Well not all of them, but at least one or two pictures.. Satisfy enough guys??? the answer is NO....

You might not be able to see the pictures clearly... Let me tell you what's going on...
1. all of jumped except for Michael (dummy).. FAILED.
2. we were holding hand, and the picture snapped right before we jumped. FAILED.
3. it was successful but not with the style that STEVE wanted. And i hurt my arms!! Steve jumped too high, and got my hand pulled by him.
4. It was a great success, we got the style, and look at steve's style.. he's trying to do the egyptian style.. and managed to blocked my view.! idiot!!!

Wise man says : "Narcissm doesn't kill you! thou shall took more!!"



Done with our trip, we closed the day with dinner at Lowenbrau - The Rocks. There, they always perform a show which started at 8 p.m. every single day. They held a drinking competition, and also a dancing competition. It's not an ordinary dancing competition. You have to dance the German's national dance, the one with swapping hats from each other head. And it gets faster and faster.

Carried away by the show, we decided to order the beer ourselves. And steve ordered the food which is quite big. It was all PORK. Never know that GERMANY loves PORK. lol. There were, barbeque pork, pork sausages, pork knuckle. But it tasty and we LOVE pork.
And about the beer, Liying drank up the whole beer, followed by Mike Sparrow, and Steve.. from the picture itself you can tell how drunk he was. lol.

On our way back home, this Michael seems so hard to control himself for narcism.. So here's another scene for him! lol.
This is the end of the story, we were so exhausted and really need to sleep. So goodnight!
