Sooky La La Moment

I'm learning so many new words/sayings here! (Alex thanks for helping me get a head start on that). And now you will learn a new saying... Sooky La La.

Sooky La La is defined in the Urban dictionary as "A sooky, sad little person who feels the need to whinge about a recent event" I have also heard in the sense that someone is a scardy-cat.
*whinge means whine*

Yes, I was a sooky la la last week. But let me give you some background on the day's events.

The day was Sunday May 2nd, it was one of my only Sundays that I will spend in the city. So my Aussie-mum wanted to take me to see some sites. Site #1 was the Queen Victoria Market. This market was amazing! So many little vendors selling CHEAP souvenirs (note: This is where you must buy your souvenirs when in Melbourne).
Site #2 - Eureka SkyDeck. This building is the tallest apartment/residential building in the world (88 floors). On the top floor they have a place where tourists can go and have an amazing view of the city. There is also something called "The Edge". I was told it was a glass floor and that's it, so I boasted that I will do it, no big deal, if I can handle the CN tower glass floor I can handle this (I'm sure you can see where this is going...). I went up the elevator to the tower and when the elevator doors opened, there it was an AMAZING view of the city. It was a little cloudy but still great! I was walking around trying to find this glass floor, but none could be seen. Then I saw a sign for "The Edge", but again I went there and didn't see anything. All of a sudden I see a box coming out of this building. The box was all glass and inside it were tourists. This glass box moved out of the building and when it reached it's place you could see the people inside cringe while they looked down 88 floors. I stood there watching this glass box hang out of the building and I started to regret the boasting I had done before. I couldn't bring myself to go into this box... I was a sooky la la. Maybe next time...
