WOOHOO TIME TO GET WET PEOPLE!

So on the 8th day in Aussie, our 3rd day in Gold Coast we went to White Water World! Did i mention that White Water World is just beside Dream World? We got the World Pass which is a discounted rate for 2 parks, Dream World and White Water World. It's weird but somehow all the water rides in White Water World is much more fun and thrilling than the roller coaster at Dream World!

Must-have in your bag for any water theme park outings: SPF!
Love the spray can type cos we're too lazy to apply the cream type ones these days.

The rides are SUPER FUN! Of all the theme parks including dream world and movie world, this is definitely my favorite, so if you're planning to go to gold coast. Add this into your itinerary!

LOL! Toilet bowl looking ride, SUPER fun!

Omg this ride called "The Wedgie" is NUTS! it makes my hair stand just thinking of standing in that small cabin. You can only ride it individually and you know how the ride starts off?

6856089439_ff6e64dd19_z

You step in the cabin, cross your arms across your chest, the operator close the cabin door...AND THE FLOOR GIVES WAY AND LAUNCH YOU INTO THE RIDE!!! WTF!

The ride wasn't even very scary looking but it just freaks me out. Lol felt really insecure standing there while watching the other people attempt that ride. Like the very floor i'm standing on was gonna give way too.

Only Sam was brave enough to try this out!

Hahaha, thank god for the great weather that day! throughout the day it was a little windy and cold plus the fact that we're wet from all the water rides, was a little chilly but mostly it was pretty sunny and warm. Great spring weather in september @ gold coast!

While queuing for the rides.. camwhore! by then our makeup were all washed all already. We look like a bunch of kiddos! LOL

YAY The waves are coming!

Muahahaa so lucky Sam got us all floats so we can enjoy bobbing around the wave pool.

Sam on the left and Me on the right, enjoying the sun!

We were on most of the rides multiple times lol cos we love it, it's better if you go earlier in the day then you wouldn't have to queue up that much for all of the rides! We went mid week so the queue was pretty ok thou

Back to Surfer's Paradise and Jess & Sam was hungry so they went for an early dinner and I headed to the beach to just enjoy the sea breeze and catch up on my reading!

Calling back home to chit chat with mummy and telling her about my day via Viber. Vibre is a must have app when you're overseas and have data connection/wifi.

So on our 3rd day we changed to another apartment also located at Surfer's paradise. This one is much more modern, the view is not as awesome as the previous apartment thou!
