HOLI~ HOLI~ HOLIDAAAAAAY!!!
Or more like visiting my brother who just settled down in Melbourne two weeks ago to study!
We took a freaking 7 hours journey to Melbourne on the AirBus380! Yes, the double Decker plane, but truthfully, it's just like sitting on any normal plane.
The service was good though, and guess what, THEY HAD TWILIGHT AND NEW MOON ON IT. As an in-flight movie. I was like the happiest fat kid in the sky.
However most of you would have heard my welcome to Melbourne was a disaster, and a few people who have heard of our arrival, teased us that maybe Melbourne hates us.
WHY MELBOURNE HATES ME:
1)Hailstorm a few hours after we arrived.
2)Major flooded and the university roof collapse. right after the hail storm.
3)continuous raining for the next 3 days of my stay
4)stopped raining and had fine weather on the day I left for Sydney
5)Before I left Melbourne, fell and sprain my ankle =(
This is my brother's view from his college dorm window. The courtyard, jeez it's so Hogwarts FEELING. ARGHHHH!! HAHAHAHAH!
*DORK DORK DORK*
My beef noodles, made by real Vietnamese. You see, in Singapore, it is diverse, but most of the time, its Singaporean-Korean, or Singaporean-Vietnamese.
And then there's the restaurant, although it says Thai food or Korean food, you can bet that the chefs are not Thai nor Korean. But when I got to Melbourne, it was quite different here
The Vietnamese really owns the whole cafe, even the waitress and all. The food was just damn awesome. Surprisingly, everyone tells me that Aussie food is horrible, but you know what......... IT IS NOT. BECAUSE IT IS SOOOO DARN AWESOME!! HAHAHAH!!
Turkish Delights BABEH! HAHAHAHAHHAH!! I admit, I heard about it in books and was excited to try when I laid my grubby hands on it. Chocolate coated Turkish delights!
After the first packet, the second, third, fourth and fifth went through in a breeze. I count myself highly addicted.
Maple trees by the road side! But I was hoping to visit Canada to see nicer ones. Had to repress the urge to lick the bark and see if it has maple syrup though.
I am a fan of maple syrup, and I think pancakes are just over rated without them =)
We met brother up for dinner the next day, and he brought as to LAYGON STREET for WESTERN FOOD!!
I love Melbourne, the food portions are HUGE! I hate sharing, but I just had to because it really was too large for me. Bro ordered the Aussie pizza, and I don't know what they put in it, but yea, I think you can see the picture in my photo album! hahah!
We passed by a candy store along the way and I bought some Humbugs! Like big huge sweets. Didn't take a picture, but I'm still finding a jar for my Humbugs T.T
Around the 4th day of the visit, we went to tour around Melbourne, free and easy. You know, just take a tram and ride around the city.
Yes, tram, like a train on roads. The best part was that if you forgot to bring your cash, you could just hope it to one of the tram doors and hitch a free ride back home. BUT, if you get caught, that's 500AUS for you!
Queen Victoria Market, where the shops are still really old school and stuff, but really nice! The best part was that the weather was cold, okay maybe not uncomfortable cold, but air-conditioned temp of 23 degrees.
No sweaty yucky body even after walking for an hour! WOO HOO! Plus the market smells nice, not fishy and smelly at all!
We visited one of the parks of Melbourne, and combined with the lovely weather and the season of Autumn, this is one amazing park.
The air was so fresh, I could just take a breathe in and maaaan, I'm like freed from all the black tar in my lungs. Black tar, uh, comes from exhaust right?
Ah heck LOL!
They call this the fairy tree, and the way the sun touches the leaves are amazing. The best part was that it was in the middle of nowhere.
WELCOME TO SYDNEY
Okay I'm lying on my stomach right now typing this I can just feel the blood clogging into my brains, so I can't type anything really good, but just descriptions!
QUESTIONS! "WHY ARE THE PICTURES?!"
Well, I'm not going to post up all the pictures I took, but they can be viewed in the album at your left, on the navigation bar.
LEFT HAND YOU DOO DOO!
Spastic face but not so spastic TORTILLA. Yea it feels like the first time you fall in love, that excited, feeling, that you are eating something so wonderful and yet you know it will never really coagulate into your fats.
I heart Tortilla, and my poor heart is breaking just thinking of eating the fried oily ones by CFK. Hope they don't sue....
HAH! DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK I WOULD LET YOU OFF WITHOUT SHOWING YOU THIS?!! MUAHAHAHHAHAH!!
I know, so cliche, but still *stands proudly*, I'll tell you a great ole truth ok?
I DIDN'T GO THERE. LOL! HAHAHAHAH!!
Yes I was sadly on the ferry going to the zoo, so I passed by this and decided to take a snap of Sydney's lovely Opera house.
The zoo could only be access through a ferry from the harbour, because it was on an island. Lucky zoo. I looked like something from JURASSIC PARK, and I wouldn't be surprise if a T-REX popped out to bite my ass =(
Gawd, I would kill humans literally if they put me in an enclosure without such a view. The animals were definitely living in a great home.
And the day before me and Mum arrived in Sydney, a baby elephant was born!!! And why was it so talked about?
Because apparently it was dying, and even the elephants mom gave up on it. But it survived, which is a miracle, it was stillborn after all.
But WOO HOOO!! I didn't get to see it, but oh well.
Have you watched Happy feet before? Do you know that big evil looking leopard seal? Yea, he looks exactly like this guy. This seal was as big as me, and I was willing to bet, that if I fell in, he would rip my small intestines out.
But I might be wrong, right? HUR, get it? Wrong, RIGHT?
Definitely not those tame sea lions you see in Sea World.
I have one picture in the album that I didn't post up. It was the same lioness in this picture, but she was licking her lips.
I never felt anymore than a Pork bun in front of her.
HEHEHEHE YANG MEH MEH. Just so reminded of that nickname of our Chinese teacher. WHAT?!! It's not exactly UNKNOWN that I'm not a fan of CHINESE.
the pictures says in all!
The night before our departure from Sydney, mum and I decided to get in over ours heads and order a large portion of sea food.
It's called, seafood platter for 2. HAHAH I know very unimaginative.
Well lemme tell you something, it wasn't a seafood patter for freaking 2, It was SEAFOOD PLATTER FOR 4 OKAY.
If you are wondering why my face has a more define shape, which CRUDE people would describe as FAT. You can blame it on this night LOL
Oh gawd, my dear prawns I could just suck you dry. Your fresh is sooo sweet and delicious and just looking at it is making me lick my screen...
Which would cause me excessive diarrhea the next day so nvm.
The last time I ate lobster was during a wedding. But I didn't really eat lobster, because the most I could taste were the freaking fruits.
So when confronted with a whole lobster to myself, the moment my mouth touched such awesome-ness, my soul lifted, and that was when LYL.....
Drifted away to heaven.
PS:I miss you guys so much during my 10 days trip and sorry I didn't post the postcards hahah!!!
