hello world! :D 

i shall update about my wonderful melbourne trip; wahaha.

Day 1!

The departure time was like 9+ ( finally! the timing very nice) then at first we thought dinner not provided, so we went to chiong our dinner- for nothing -.- in the end, the plane served dinner at 10! my goodness. and when we were in the plane, the aircon broke down! D: then it was bloody hot for nearly an hour and everyone was using the menu to fan themselves (:

My super-gay brother trying to entice me with his food when i had exactly the same thing as him -.-

Gorgeous toilet! :D its damn big lar; and its even better than centurysquare's!

During the flight which was approximately 7hours, i watched two movies! Boys over flowers & Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging which were both rather nice. And mwahaha. Singapore only screens Angus, thongs and perfect snogging on Dec 18th nia. so i save my movie ticket moolah! hurrah. the guys in the movie are hot :D and thanks to being glued to the screen, i only had 1 hour of sleep and i was godawful tired the next day :x

Day2!

Sadly, this tour was full of scenery; grass here, statues there. so i didnt really get to shopshop when Melbourne's the fashion capital of aussie! we went to Fitzroy Garden first for the sake of it and it was damn cold!

From top: Conservatory, random big tree, Cook's cottage

We then moved on to Eureka Skydeck 88 where you view the city's skyscape 88 stories down Yes, the name is self-explanatory. There were many australians/americans/whatever cant tell the difference cos they have the same features there and the guys are damn hot! :D and 1 hotguy helped my brother with the coin maker thingy somemore (: the girls also super chio! hah. 

the busy highways of australia

Sadly, the tour guide skipped Federation Square, Shrine of Remembrance, St Paul's Cathedral and 2 other gardens! tsk. so the city tour was not much after all due to time constraint. see, its not good to join tour groups lor. i prefer freedom :D

Then we went to Warrook farm where the lunch there was damn sedap (: ohya, melbourne's probably as clean as singapore too. 

Front door!

Back door!

I like it cos it appears to be a long winding road down :D

See the sky, the sheep, the grass, the gravel♥

More sheep!

The poor sheep was at his freaking dick la -.- and then he shear until it bled somemore. poorthing lor.

After viewing the sheep and sheep-shearing, like what you always do on farms, you proceed to feed kangeroos/sheep/cows

The cows were ravenous lar. they literally fight for that bottle of milk and the milk drips out as they jostle for it O:

this cow is smart. or at least smarter than the rest. while the others were all fighting for milk at the main gate (look above) this cow went to the corner, ducked through a hole and beckoned for milk. so smart right! and i fed it an entire bottle :D its probably like 1litre of milk. gosh.

then we went to feed the kangeroos but there were huge sheep there too! i actually wanted to feed the kangeroos only but the sheep practically chionged for my cup of food and munched it until the bloody cup broke -.- and i had no more food left D: screw you fat sheep! and then my father said thats why they're so fat, they snatch everyone's food away. tsktsk. my brother's icecream also want eat. scary lor.

oh yes, our transportation was a haystack truck (: so we sat on haystacks! reminds me of perth 06 where it was a school trip; damn fun la. we climb up the haystacks and jump down :D

Palm trees! and i thought they were restricted to hot&humid countries like singapore O.o

Our next stop was A Maze'N Things which was illusions and mazes and such, kinda like a section of the discovery centre.

I look so tall right :DDD

and australia's playgrounds are super fun! all of them sure got swing one, and they got more playing equipment also (: hohos.

the wonders of self- timer ;D

The other bird saw me and flew away which left this 2 birds which decided to make love and flew away to somewhere farfaraway :D

I just realised that i see my reflection in the car. haha.

We went to the Penguin Parade after that to watch penguins troop up ashore. they scam our money lor. they make it sound as though they would be damn close to us but in the end, they all go to the far right where we can only see little black things bobbing up and down cos all the seats are at the far left. so i suggest if you go there, take the special admission instead, they put you at the far right (gives a better view when you pay more money) tsk.

they didnt allow us to take photos either D:

sadly, we had to leave earlier but we saw penguins on the grass making their way to their burrows. so cool la. the penguin so small and cute (: and everyone was all ooh and aah-ing.

And this sign is so hilarious! please check under your car for penguins. LOLOLOL.

which reminds me, our plane to australia was delayed by a few minutes because kangeroos were crossing, so we cant land :D and the whole plane burst into laughter at the idea. hehs.

we checked in into some hotel (i forgot the name- they didnt have a prominent signboard?) and i was so tired that i actually grabbed the wrong luggage :x and lugged it up via staircase cos we didnt know there was a lift -.- and it was super heavy when mine was supposed to be super light. dumb right. haii. but the rooms were super big and nice! we could have breakfast in bed and we had 2 TVs somemore (: and a jacuzzi! that hotel is best man.

prettaye exterior of hotel!

my god. i've typed so long and its only the 2nd day O: oh well; back to typing.

Day3!

We went to a chocolate factory! yum (: and my mother spent eighty eight bucks there O:

they look so nice right ;D

and off we went to ashcombe maze where the hedges were super tall, so you couldnt look over and i must have spent like half an hour there but i didnt find the way out ): i blasted my music so that my parents could hear me, but they said after some time, my music couldnt be heard no more. heh. and i was so close lor! gah. then they have pretty flowers there too, roses;lavender; unidentified species :D the food there is good too, its alfresco dining and my brother took the honor of dancing with his reflection -.-

My brother act cool with my sunglasses!

Boo! ;D

Pretty white rose!

Sea of lavender purple (:

cos' life isnt a bed of roses

Diffused reflection! 

See, i remember my science :D

the flowers had no smell actually.

After having our fair share of play, we went to a strawberry farm to pick strawberries! my 4th time picking :D there were some damn big ones lar. but they weren't as sweet as others though. my brother picked tiny ones nia. ha :D and their chocolate strawberry is HUGE! and its like 2bucks nia. Singapore, one tiny strawberry dipped in chocolate is 1.50 -.-

we look see look see then went off to some winery which is family-owned and i tried the different kinds of wine. smell the wine, already feel like puking -.- but i tried some anyway. awfully bitter! D: wine's not for me afterall; dont get why people like bitter tongues. 

Then our bus rode into the ferry. so cool right. but i was sleeping very soundly, so i didnt witness it ): and while everyone was inside/front deck, i was behind cos got no wind but still got sea to see :D and i missed dolphins! rawr! and my brother sadist was gleefully describing how the dolphins jumped in and out of the sea, doing somersaults and all. ass! hummph.

We went to the national wool muesuem after that where we saw different types of wool and yarn (: the wool very nice to touch! but other than that, i didnt learn anything much lar. heh. muesuems are not my type of thing :D

Dinner was a buffet at Smorgy's at Cummingham Pier (i think) and the restaurant was filled with hotguys! :DDD there was a guy that looked like Oliver from Hannah Montana but hotter (: heh, we makan finish then go outside walk walk and take pictures- what else? the playground there damn big also lor. jealous! and my mother said there were some world-renowed totem poles there that was showcased on the newspapers and pestered us to visit every one of them. tsk.

Our hotel this time wasnt as nice as yesterday's one D: it was much smaller. boo.

yawns. im tired

what we could have been, 5:55 AM.
