aussie.

sean's gone for holidays in aussie, so are 2 of my cousins and their families.
So here's the burning question from me: Is aussie really that nice? i don't have the slightest idea. Gold coast... is almost all entertainment with WB and a long long coastal area. Sydney and it's famous opera house... Melbourne and... and something which it has... Margret River (just got that from my sis).
I am officially the one out of only two people in my WHOLE 3 GENERATION family who hasn't been to aussie (the other one would be my aunt). And the strange thing is that australia doesn't really attract me that much compared to other countries. The only two things which i want to go aussie for would be for the great barrier reef (yeah... my marine biologist ambition is STILL ON!) and maybe for good fresh seafood (The IRONY of it all!). Oh yeah, one of my aunts lives there happily with her family. And my aussie cousins are prodigies - their grade-skipping frequency is comparable to you breathing in oxygen. The youngest cousin is 18 this year, and she's already in her final year at the Uni. Wow... and here i am slugging away in college... yr 1.
The point is, my aussie cousins come over here like once in 4-5 years. And in turn, we visit them (not me though) annually... almost. by the way they live in Perth... and I can't think of any attraction there... other than my cousins nice big house and games room.
Haha... guess i am a real noob when it comes to aussie... lemme see, it's much bigger than spore, got a huge desert stuck right in the centre of it, and it has a heck of a good reef for researching... and an opera house which resembles sails. Oh yeah... along with kangeroos and koalas... and it has Nichole Kidman too. And how could i forget - Steve Erwin and his crocodile-hunting escapades!
I think i know more of the great barrier reef.
And i think i should visit my cousins.
P.S If *anyone* happens to see this post while happily lounging in aussie, just remember to get me some Starburst gummies!! The gooey, fruity liquid-filled ones!
