It's a bit sunny today and the temperature has gone up a few degrees. Thankfully it was just nice, a bit warm but not too hot and is a perfect day for going out.
In the afternoon, daddy had some time off from his conference and we decided to go to St. Lucia; the suburb that we spent most of our time back in 2008. That was where we lived for almost a year and it's the place where mummy went to university and I went to kindergarten!
After a few days of shutting down due to murky waters, Brisbane's famous City Cat (water taxi) opens again today. It was really convenient for us since the City Cat jetty was close to our hotel and it goes direct to the university.

Once we arrived, our first stop was of course my old kindy! At first we planned to make a surprise visit but then our parents thought that asking the school first would be better just in case it was a term break holiday. Although we informed them that we would be coming, but we didn't specify any date, as such it was a surprise for my teacher after all.
From far, we can already hear a familiar friendly voice. Daddy and I ran up the stairs and went inside the school in search for my lovely teacher ~ Miss B... and there she was looking all pretty in red! Mummy, Safiya and baby Safwan waited anxiously on the school ground until Miss B came out and greeted them with her big smile. Hehehe... Miss B said that our parents "got busy" and she couldn't stop admiring our cute baby brother.
I was happy but a bit nervous when Miss B started making conversations with me. Thanks to my good English (ahem!), it went well. I even recited 2 poems that I had learnt at school for lovely Miss B. When asked about my favourite subject at school, I said it's adding and subtracting. Hehehe... mummy was surprised with my answer ~ she didn't know that Math is my favourite. We also gave two souvenirs from Brunei, one for Miss B and another for Miss Miller who unfortunately was not at school at that time.
It was such an unforgettable experience going back to my old school. We never thought that we would be able to go there again due to the costly air tickets but hey, we did! Lucky us!
After saying good-bye to Miss B, we took a walk around mummy's university and took some pictures before boarding a bus to go to Hawken Drive; the place where we always buy groceries with NiniLaki on foot. It was still the same except that Coles supermarket has been replaced by another supermarket.
After that, we walked back to the university and hopped on a bus to go to Toowong Village. This was our favourite shopping place, especially for mummy and Nini Bini. Amazingly, it still is our favourite and we bought lots of clothes and some kitchenware. We also revisited the fruits market and bought some white flesh nectarines and avocados.
Then, we waited for a taxi at the basement and went back to the hotel.
Wow! I just cannot believe that we could relive the experience once again!
