Gold Coast Day 2

The kids slept early on the first night and we all woke up early on the 2nd day morning. We were up by 7.30am and we went to the supermarket to grab some ham and bread for breakfast. It is really expensive to eat in Gold Coast. It can easily cost us more than A$10 each for a proper meal. The bus fetched us at 9.15am for Movie World. Thinking that it would actually be quite warm in the afternoon, mummy actually clothed the kids in short sleeves. The day turned out to be really cloudy and cold. So, I didn't over packed after all. Lol.

Movie World probably isn't that far. However, the bus had to pick up other tourists along the way and it took us an hour to get there.

It was cold... really cold when we arrived but we were all still very excited. Lil Shauna and I took the first scooby-doo spooky ride. It is a roller coaster ride in the dark. Each cart could seat 4 and Lil Shauna and me had a cart to ourselves bcos C was a littlt too scare to join us. Lil Isaac was really freaky out by how the ride looked. He was still pestering to sit on a roller coaster too, like jiejie, but backed out immediately when he saw the ride. Good for us, save us the trouble to coax Lil Isaac out of the idea - he isn't tall enough for all roller coaster rides yet.

It was quite exciting. At certain point, the cart fell backwards and that was scary. The best part? Towards the end of the ride, the fire alarm went off and the ride was terminated midway. Lil Shauna and I were stuck in the cart and had to wait for the staff to rescue us. When it first stopped and the alarm went on, I couldn't make put if that was part of the effect of the ride. Then the alarm continued and the lights went on and I knew that we were really stuck. We were probably stuck for about 15mins. Mummy was just as scare as her little girl but had to pretend to look brave and as if she had experience and been stuck in roller coaster rides for like 100 times. I was so hoping that Mummy P and C had taken the same ride with us. Mummy was also secretly worried that nobody would come to save us or the staff might overlook and didn't know that we were stuck. I was so glad when somebody actually came. Phew, my 1st time ever stuck on a roller coaster ride and I was so glad that we were on a roller coaster ride in Australia and not some ulu country with little regard for safety. We actually went back to complete the ride in the later part of the day when the ride was operational again. This time, with Mummy P and C and there was no fire alarm. Lol.

The kids went on other kiddy rides after that. There aren't that many kiddy rides and the kids went for the same few many times. We were glad that they weren't sick of the same rides. The kids went for many of the rides without the adults. They are all growing up.

The kids probably drove the bumper car 3x and the taxi 4x. By the end of those, Lil Shauna can finally handled the bumper car well and understand how the steering works. Lil Isaac started to drive his taxi well. He was so stuck when he first tried a similar ride in LEGOLAND some months back. On his first attempt, he actually ended up in a pile up. Too funny.

We also took this choo choo train ride with really tiny seat. I had to accompany as Lil Isaac and T are below the minimum height and it was so squuezy. Mummy's poor butt.

There were a few performances to catch as well and Lil Shauna enjoyed them all. The kids also took some pictures with Scooby and a few more characters. Lil Isaac is still scare of them but he managed to go close up with Sebastian and even hi-5 him.

It was getting colder as the day goes by. The park closes at 5pm and the transport was picking us up at 5.15pm. At about 4.30pm, we hid in one of the cafes for coffee and the girls had a rainbow cake. Lil Shauna was excited to try one but it probably didn't taste as good as how it looks and Daddy Ong polished off whatever that the girls can't finish.

Then, we left and headed back to the hotel. Bye, bye Movie World. The adults took none of the thrilling rides. We chose to think that we focused too much on the kids than being too afraid. Lol.

The bus ride back took about an hour as well. We finally found pasta for dinner and the kids ate a decent portion. For the past 2 days, it was burgers and burgers and the kids didn't stomach much. It was day 2 and we were already craving for the usual bah cho mee. Lol.

Sleep was easy to come after a whole day of fun. The next day, we are heading to the Paradise Farm and Habour Town. I wonder how the weather would be.

Lil Isaac went without diaper in the morning until mummy realised that it was a little too dangerous. Mummy also kept repeating herself like a broken recorder. Lil Isaac would easily wet himself with all the fun and we had a better peace of mind when he had his diapers on. Well, we'll see how things go.
