17.01 - worked, can't remember what happened though lol
18.01 - went to watch a movie with my dad n sister, which was parental guidance. f**k it sucks, don't watch it.
19.01 - left for cairns this day. omg, i was really nervous to get on the plane because i hadn't gone on in such a long time, and i hate the feeling of the dryness in my mouth because of the aircon, lol. anyways, about 3 hours to cairns from sydney which was good, cos i don't think i could've handled any longer, haha. when we got there, it was raining, and it was really sticky and humid. hot as well. we arranged to hire a car for the week, and we went to get some lunch. fyi, i'll be uploading some photos from cairns soon, after i sort out some more photos from instagram lol. anyways, after lunch went to book some stuff for the rest of the week: ie. snorkelling, etc. then went swimming in the hotel/apartment pool because we felt hot and sticky lolz.
20.01 - the weather turned out really nice despite the weather forecast so we cancelled the bookings for that day and went to go snorkelling and diving instead. wow, it was an amazing experience. that's another few things off my bucketlist yay. anyways, there were three 'destinations' at this opal reef, to view the coral and fish and stuff. the first one, i went snorkelling to get a "feel of the water" before i went diving, and omg it's so mindblowing to swim with fish. i think that's as close as i'll ever get with fish lol. it was stinger season, so we all had to wear these stinger suits, which were basically wet suits i think. so many jellyfish everywhere, they were so cute, some of them stung my lips and stuff cos it was exposed lol. and then second and third time around i went scuba diving. wow, i was so scared for the first time, i swear i was gonna s**t my pants anytime soon, haha. we had to pass some tests to make sure we'll survive underwater like stuff to do when going lower and how to deal with the pressure of the water. there was only one other guy that went diving with me both times. first time, we were both to scared so we concentrated on swimming and following our instructor, but second time, we actually appreciated the reef and looked at stuff close up.
21.01 - went to the beach in the morning which was really relaxing and a good start to the day. and then got back to the apartment to swim in the pool again haha. in the afternoon, went to get changed and went white water rafting. if you don't know what that is, go google it, and you'll know what it is by looking in the images, hehe. anyways, i was terrified at first, but it was super easy and fun. great day hehe.
22.01 - we left for a full day tour to the daintree rainforest, which is in the world heritage list hehe. we were the only family on that day because it was pouring ! so we managed to kind of have a more privatised kinda tour which was amazing because our guide was really friendly. anyways, the rainforest was beautiful, spotted one of the rarest birds in the world which was a treat - the cassowary. there are only about 2000 in the entire world - only about 50 of them in this rainforest. what a treat, it was beautiful. for lunch, we had steak which was really nice. we also managed to spot a wild crocodile on a cruise on a river. really nice day.
23.01 - last day at cairns/port douglas and so we drove down to cairns to check out the place and sight see i guess. we also went down to palm cove which is apparently a really popular honeymoon/wedding venue, and they have ethereal hotels and resorts. had a mocha there as well, because it started to pour and we wanted to wait it out. afterwards, we went back to the hotel and just chilled.
24.01 - our flight was around 12pm, and got back to sydney around 3.30pm, got home and relaxed. didn't do much except unpack and then head out for dinner.
25.01 - went out with my manager to hang out around the city for lunch. afterwards, we went to this cosy cafe to play board games lol.
26.01 - happy australia day lol ! had to work this day.
27.01 - didn't do anything, stayed home and relaxed, and watched australian open mens grand final and yay for djokovic ! i love you <3 i love tennis hehe.
28.01 ( today ) - worked again, and now just chilling. omg, second last day of freedom before school, i'm like super depressed. this morning, i was reading through some earlier posts from the holidays and i sounded so happy, omg, i miss my freedom already.
