This will be the last I think! I've been on a baking spree lately, baking cookies, pizzas... and now, attempting something which I actually find quite daunting because the fail rate is almost for sure, like 80% or something. I've been obsessing over yeast as well, so making bread, things that go poofy (how aptly called "proofing" when waiting for the dough to raise...). Enough about that for now! The current project will take a minimum of two days, but I might draw the process out to three days. If this fails, I'll cry. 3 days worth of... pain and doubt... and 3 sticks of butter.. and about a kilo of flour... and muscle pain from kneading because I don't have a mixer... haha.
At least I get a good arm workout. I find that I knead so much better with my right hand, which is extremely strange because my left arm is supposedly the stronger one of the two. Maybe it's just tired from badminton last night.
Oh right, you want pictures.
Here ya go. This was a really quirky one where the lights were covered with flaps, and when someone yells at them, they'll lift up..
And as soon as you stop yelling..
... they close right back down. So there were constant screams and yells coming from this area.
Giant tic tac toe.
Get on them bikes and work it! It really only made the wings glow slightly brighter...
I really don't have a thing against kids. I find a minority of them cute actually, adorable at times, endearing even. Then there are the others... *shakes head*.
I liked this one. Dandelions~ giant big ones!
I love Stanley even when he goes all out of focus on me. It's still pretty!
This was what it was meant to look like =D
Really well done this year... loved how every panel and every window was perfectly lighted up to form a really cool picture/movie/slideshow presentation.
We stayed in that area for quite some time, watching the whole thing.
And also because the cantina mobil was just next to it!
This was the mexican one, selling taco, burritos, chilli corn RAN OUT (major disappointment, I can't express it enough), and also ice block, which I got... a raspberry and rose one, it was so good.
Giant LED torchlight that formed a spotlight with a red carpet.
This was beautiful, it was like a field of optic fibres, but you could tell some kids have been wrecking it by pulling strands out of its bundles.
Metres and metres of optic fibres, hand cut and bundled into what resembles a wheat field glowing at night... loved it.
While I like it being all white and pretty, I can't not snap a picture of them glowing purple.
Some DNA structure like light exhibit.
What are these??
People were staring at their own reflections in the boxes which are actually dogs' heads. There's a button placed somewhere away from the dogs and their heads will be looking elsewhere. When someone presses the button, a loud whistle was emitted, causing the dogs' heads to all turn in the direction of the whistle. Didn't really work very well though, the heads turned at different rates and were soooo slowww...
A regular street lamp, but I like the patterns inside. It's like an angel stuck inside :D
Opera House, the No.1 vivid attraction.
Was pretty dull this year, the opera house.
Headed back to circular quay station, but before that, revisited and grabbed a soft taco from the cantina truck.
And that is almost it for vivid this year! I did go back once more, and there were a few that I missed, but that's ok! It was freezing cold half the time, and the other half was raining. Thank goodness the two days I went wasn't raining, but it was still freezing. The cantina mobil trucks rotate, so sometimes it's mexican, sometimes it's viet, sometimes it's some other one, but their locations change all the time so you need twitter or facebook to follow it around. If you ever catch the viet one, go to it. Don't even think, just go.
