17 October (Saturday)
Heard a lot about Hahndorf, which is this small German town in Adelaide, so I was really excited to go!! WE SET OFF AT LIKE 7AM FROM GLENELG LOL
Flowers we saw otw to the bus stop
This was the same bus stop that we were at to wait for the bus (that never came) to Cleland Wildlife Park.......... but this time round THE BUS ACTUALLY CAME
After an hour's bus ride... we finally reached!!!!
hahahaahha ironically the first restaurant we saw upon alighting was a chinese one... LOL
Such a quaint place!!!! More pics throughout this post but it's just a looooong stretch of shops. We took our time and spent about 4 hours there??
They have quite a number of candle shops there and it's quite nice if you're interested in candles la haha
But this was the best buy from Hahndorf for me!!!! Besides candles, Hahndorf also has some shops selling fudge and we bought ours from this candy shop that sold 3 huge bars for only $10 wtf. The staff there was super friendly and even offered us samples?? Sydney and I shared 1 Chocolate one ($4 ea), while Kevin & Andria bought 3 Bailey's AND BOTH WERE GOOD
Random leather shop that had freaking rabbits at the back wtf LOL
And other cute vintage signs!!!
(Not so) fun fact: 99.99999% of the photos in my adelaide posts are unedited because I took over 2000 photos BUT LOOK AT HOW PRETTY AND BLUE THE SKY ALREADY IS???
Settled for lunch at a random restaurant/bar we passed by which looked legit and wasn't too expensive LOL
Singaporean family sitting besides us HAHAHAHA we can recognize dem accents anywhere
OUR HUGE ASS MEAT PLATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was probably around $70+ but it was more than enough for the 4 off us wtf. Included in this platter are also 2 huge-ass pretzels the size of my face.... which was my fav part cause #TeamCarbs yo. We didn't manage to finish the pretzel so I dabao-ed and ate later for dinner muahahahah thx guys
We also got a side of fries for ~$9 and THE BOWL WAS ALSO SO HUGE WTF
I usually pack my own food and don't eat out, but Maverick threatened to leave me if I didn't try the german meat here (HAHAHA). I'm more of a carbs > protein person and I was mainly eating the pretzel + dipping fries in (w8 for it) mashed potatoes... but it was still a good meal la LOL
There were a lot of dogs and Sydney probably petted every one we saw HAHA
Super cute cards but I couldn't justify buying 1 for $6+ hahaha
MORE DOGS!! This was called Jack and the owners were really nice hahaha. We chatted for a bit and we told them that we were Singaporean students here for an internship!!
We saw the same chihuahua from just now HAHAHA
Dropped by a museum to see see look look
It was quite small and I was more interested in the very steep stairs inside HAHA sry museum u're still great
DERPY LLAMA DOLLS IN A LLAMA WOOL SHOP WTF
ok and that was it for Hahndorf!!!! It was a really nice place and I enjoyed myself a lot hehehe if you're in Adelaide, please give Hahndorf a visit!!!
Took the bus back to town/Rundle Mall and did some more shopping lolol
L: Really interesting building with a really interesting name hahahaha haven't googled it yet so idk what it's for
R: MY SNACK HAUL omg
I
even
bought
more
a
few
days
later
But thank God for the best bf in the world who flew over to Adelaide and helped me carry back at least 9kg of my souvenirs back to Singapore first :''') I had 30kg baggage allowance and used up 27kg when I flew back to Singapore already wtf. If Mav hadn't helped me carry back the 9kg.. I would have overshot the limit and have to pay a fine?? :(
Speaking of Mav flying to Adelaide
STORY TIME STARTS NOW
A few weeks ago: Mav said he had a surprise for me and after A FEW DAYS OF PERSUADING him to tell me, he finally caved in and said: "ya you guessed it, I sent you a parcel but idk when it's going to reach Adelaide"
The night before: Skyped Mav while he was packing for his weekend trip to Malaysia to visit his uncle's new house
Afternoon: While I was in Hahndorf, Mav texted me to say that he had safely reached Malaysia. He also said that the mailman would arrive later that evening at about 6-7pm to drop the parcel off. I wanted to make sure that we would be back home by then, so I told Sydney Mav sent me a parcel and she said "don't worry we confirm back by then"
Evening (~7pm): Ok so after we got home, the other 3 wanted to go for a run and watch the sunset. I didn't think too much about it, since it was almost routine for them to do that almost every day. I usually don't follow because I'm lazy so I wanted to leave myself out too.
However, they were particularly persistent that night and insisted that I join??? After a lot of persuasion ("you don't have to run la just brisk walk" "Andria will walk with u behind")... I gave in. I was admitedly quite touched that they wanted me to go so cannot reject right wtf.
I was also supposed to stay home to wait and collect Mav's parcel when the mailman comes, but Sydney very confidently told me that the mailman can just leave the parcel at our door wtf. Anyway a few minutes later, Mav said that the mailman would be late, and would arrive around 8pm instead so I decided to just go ahead with the 3 of them.
Caught the sunset!!!! Which was quite chio lolol
Anyway AFTER THE "RUN"
Evening (~8pm): We were all back home and watched our fav dating reality show lolol. Sydney and Kevin suddenly left to go upstairs to take down the laundry, leaving Andria and I downstairs with the TV.Suddenly, Sydney specifically only called Andria from upstairs ("ANDRIA CAN YOU COME UP TO HELP")... and I started to get suspicious wtf. This was very weird la like "why did you only call Andria???"
I then wanted to just join Andria and help too but Andria insisted I stayed downstairs and continue watching the show. Since I was excused from doing chores, I didn't try to argue back HAHA. I continued staying downstairs alone, watching TV and waiting for my parcel to come.
FINALLY, I heard a knock on the door at around 8.15pm. Our front door has a glass window so you can see exactly who is outside, but I didn't see anyone??? I thought the mailman just knocked, put the parcel on the doorstep and left but I opened the door anyway.
When I opened the door, there was NO one and NO parcel so I was quite confused for 2 seconds... until Maverick stepped in front of me
AND
I
WAS
LIKE
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
an explosion of emotions
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I swear I couldn't believe my eyes la wtf because throughout the 4 weeks there, I kept wishing he was there and suddenly there he was!!!!!!!!! I immediately burst out crying wtf and couldn't bring myself to say anything except "omg omg omg". Just being able to finally hug and touch him again felt so surreal and I didn't even want to let go. I kept burying my face into his chest, in an attempt to soak in as much of him as possible (LOL) and he kept kissing my forehead and it was just so nice wtf :(
I didn't even invite him yet and the door was still open so the cold Adelaide wind was blowing.. But aiya I really didn't want to let go wtf because the irrational part of me was scared that if I did, he'd be gone again :(((( So we continued staying in that position for about 15-20 minutes in the cold LOL.
Anyway finally I came to my senses and invited him in hahahaha
Even when he told me had a surprise for me a few weeks ago, one of my thoughts was: "OMG MAYBE HE'S COMING OVER TO ADELAIDE". But it sounded so impossible (especially since Mav's in army) and later on, he said it would be a parcel so I didn't let myself think about that possibility to avoid disappointment LOL.
Turns out, he only said he was going to Malaysia (where there might be no wifi) so I would not be suspicious when he won't be able to reply me on the 16 hours flight from SG to Aussie. He ended up getting a SIM card on his stopover in Sydney (???) and texted me in the afternoon saying: "I just reached Malaysia and my uncle's house has wifi!!" wtf LIESSSSSS. He was so convincing and was even complaining about how noisy his nieces/nephews were wtf AND I BELIEVED HIM!!!!!!
Also after that I realized that so many people knew about his plan to come to Adelaide on my 4th week here............ because it was already planned before I even left Singapore wtf!!!!!! Mav was liasing with Sydney throughout so even all my 3 roommates in Australia knew about him coming over!! Which totally explained their very suspicious behavior and their persistence in getting me to watch the sunset that night to prep for Mav's arrival?????????? Sydney and Andria still played along in the afternoon when I said that Mav was sending a parcel to our house................... so thx guys HAHA
Anyway he was free to come over to Australia despite army because he had a 1-week block leave!!!! We spent the next 6 days together and it was WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Ok so that was Mav's very elaborate (and successful) plan in surprising me :""(
So many people have been like "omg mav damn sweet" "wtf u super lucky" "ur boyfriend spoil market sia" and I really agree cries I don't deserve this T_T
