Trip to Brisbane 09

We are back from Brisbane! The trip was a little to short as we were there for only 4 days. We wanted to extend however it was too late as the air tickets were already booked and cannot be changed. There will be another time I guess. After we touched down at Brisbane Airport, we collected our rented cars and spend a while at the airport car park figuring how to move the car seat forward! hahaha... As we arrived at midnight, the car park was pretty dark and we could not find the button to open the boot! hahahah. After fumbling for a while we finally found the right buttons and we headed off to our service apartment at Oaks Charlotte Towers. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room which were all pretty nice!

On the second day, we had our Team Building activities. We were divided into groups and to perform some art on a painting which was actually divided into 16 pieces. There were a lot of chaos at the beginning as the painting had to be matched and the colours were different. We managed to finished the entire painting on time and here is the result! Photobucket
The picture does not have any meaning to it. We even added our company logo to it haha. Photobucket
The group picture with the finished product. The second half of the day was Hell Kitchen, where we had to cook two dishes and to present it. We all headed over to Woodsworth to purchase our items and there were a lot of fun trying to get the best bargains from the supermarket. Luckily Dear taught me to purchase everything and anything that is their housebrands and we managed a savings of $14. Hahhaa.

The second day the rest of the group went to take part in the Go Kart. With my present condition, I am unable to play so we opted out of it and went over to some factory outlet to shop and South Banks in the afternoon for a walk. We met up with some of them in the evening for dinner at South Banks and Mt Coota following dinner.

The third day we headed over to Harbour Town for more shopping but I did not manage to purchase as many things as I had at DFO as the shops were almost the same. We bought mostly things for the bb like overall and all as they were really cheap. Dear managed to get a pair of Levis while bb got 5 suits! We ended our day at Surfer's Paradise and headed back to Brisbane town for dinner.
