Greetings loves! Been working on my other blog, Struck By Sunshine, that i managed to forget about this one yet again. 2 months ago, i had a short getaway to Gold Coast. Work got a little too much to handle so when i spotted Jetstar's sales, i just jumped at the opportunity for a quick getaway from it all. My friend said i could crash at his place which made the offer even more tempting. So i took the early morning flight out - excited and ready to explore a new city.

Since it was still really early, the only option (other than fast food) was to eat at this cafe near their uni. Food was good, but kinda slow though. Apparently it is run by students and their chef changes every now and then so your regular orders tastes and are presented differently. Thought it was a little pricey though hmmn.

What i totally did not expect was that Gold Coast was scorching hot! It was about 8 degrees when i left Sydney and i packed warm clothes but i was not expecting the heat! Lol i think i looked like a fool all bundled up in double layers and jeans while everyone else was in shorts and flip flops. We basically just cruised around, stopping at Surfers Paradise and some other spots for the occasional pictures.

My tour guide - spends about 80% of each day on the phone -.-

.. see what i mean!

The next day, we drove up to Brisbane. It was raining and really gloomy that day. Walked around the city and i got a little too excited when i spotted Park Tae Hwan (or a lookalike. too close to tell). My brother told me i should have stopped him but i didn't remember his name to be honest hahaha :P All i knew was that he was a Korean Olympic swimmer and i had to google search his name and by that time he was long gone.

We ended up at the Queensland University of Technology somehow and it just so happened to be their Open Day. Felt like a student all over again among the crowd. Ah how i miss uni times. Since we didn't shop, we ended up playing pool and watching a movie and asdfjkl tickets only cost $7.50! I feel so ripped off living in Sydney now because tickets cost $20+ here le sigh. Going to the cinema here is considered a luxury.
