15-16 Nov 2010, Melbourne Day 1

LOL.
yes i am taking my own sweet time to update my stupid blog.
wahahaha.
i am still back in my Melbourne Trip.
Stone.
=P
.
.
.
nyway, Peir was the very nice ex-boyfriend guy who sent me to take the Changi Airport bus service from Kotaraya.
.
made a special trip to fetch me from my house and sent me to the bus station.

i actually did a special request to ask him to send me to the airport la but he REFUSED.. (haha.. i have no right to ask him to do so anyway.. hee)... he so afraid to drive to Singapore already because he always had to do so to fetch his Fiance in and out of Singapore as Wendy stays in Singapore too.
.

alright, i can understand that and he is indeed very kind to agree to send me to the bus station there already as he does not have to do so.

=)
.
.

on the bus at Kotaraya.

.

i was the only passenger from Kotaraya.

more people joined me when we were at Malaysia custom.

.

the bus was allowed to stop at a few bus stops within its route to the airport and more people joined and hopped on the bus but not till the bus was filled. therewere still empty seats around. i fell asleep along the way too and only woke up just in time to see the Terminal 1 and i quickly pressed the bell.

.

i can only say, its not easy to cross the customs with your luggage ok.

considering mine was ok because i only had 1 BIG and a handbag.

it was tedious for me because i had to carry the luggage up and down the bus and scanning of the luggage etc.

.

my brand new luggage as a bday present from jingying.

.

reached the airport early and so i found a place to sit down to wait and that was Coffeebean of course.
=)
.
expected them to be late but they amazed me when they turn up on time.
.

a good start.


Darwin airport where we had to do our transit flights to and fro Melbourne.
.

boarding the plane to MELBOURNE at DARWIN!

woohooo!

.

so happy me!! wahaha...

.

we had to take a short walk to the plane.

.

look at Eil still not feeling the cold yet because Darwin wasnt really cooling. it was almost the same as in Singapore.

.
i super looking forward to land at Melbourne already.

.

Jetstar to our Melbourne.

.

our Free & Easy trip.

.

Huey Ling really knows hw to get into the shot.

.

this is US.. ALIGHTING at MELBOURNE!!!!!

.

COLD?? LOL.

.

YAY!! COOLING!!!

.

our Apartment at Swanston Streeet.

super near to Peir's apartment nearby where his both sisters were staying when we were there.

.

it was also the place where he stayed when he was taking his degree in Australia, Melbourne.

.

Yeap. this place was actually recommended by them.

.

my bed for the whole of the trip.

.

my bedroom cum the living room but we seldom do use this as a living room because i treat it as my bedroom too much and nobody dared sit on my bed because that was where i slept and i thought they felt bad having me sleep in the living room and so they didnt want to disturb my bed too. LOL.

.

the SUPER JIE-PI huey ling and her bedroom.

.

her JIE PI - she doesnt like her bed to be dirty or anybody to leave things on her bed or sit on her bed or even touch her bed to be exact.

.

in short, leave her bed alone.

.

the toilet.

.

very clean!! GOOD!

.

THEIR bedroom!!!

chey!

.

preparing to head out for a short walk under the sun and not feeling HOT or WARM?

=P

.

the view along the way to the main melbourne city with all the shopping and stuffs.

.

so peaceful right, considering that we were actually along the town area and a few mins walk to the main city aka shopping area.

.

sun was shining brightly but trust me, it was not WARM at all!

.

my new pair of flats that went bonkers on the 3rd day.

LOUSY!

.

never going back to that shop anymore.

.

ooooh.. i loves shops selling fresh flowers by the road side.

.

so nice.

.

after this,

we were looking for that "halftix" shop because we heard that we could get tour tickets or etc at a much cheaper price at this place because most of the tickets are like for last minute people and so the tickets are at discounted price.

.

we amazingly found the place and we BOOKED and IMMEDIATE tour trip to the Penguins Paradise to see the PENGUINS of course.

.

it was freezing and we had to grab a jacket from the shops so that we could withstand the cold out there in Melbourne that time.

.

so we went to one of those shops opposite and grab the cheapest from the discounted sales item and we practically RAN to the bus pick-up point.

.

super Paiseh because everyone else was waiting for US as we were so late compared to some of them whom might have arrived earlier to get on the bus or something.

.

my buddy for the entire trip.

.

the tour bus that we travelled on to head to the Penguins Paradise.

.

the tour buses in Melbourne are superb.

.

comfortable and clean and the Television is ALWAYS WORKING!
.

.

as we pass by the "villages" while we made our way to the activity venue.

.

.

.

.

WOW!

.

according to the tour guide whom is also our bus driver, we were early and so he brought us to this place for photo taking because he said this place was really beautiful and indeed, this place was breathtaking!!

.

my first scenery stop in my trip and it was already so beautiful!! so pretty!

.

.

.

. .

my favourite pic of myself in the entire melbourne trip photos.

.

i liek this picture too.

.

back in the transport and we are officially heading to the Penguins Paradise.

looking out for that Australian animal..... arghhh... i forgot the name of that animal already...

.

hungry already and dinner first... before we go find the penguins.

.

YUMMY Lemonades with gas.!! they got lots of choices there of these kinds of gassy lemonades and all tastes nice!!

.

.
the penguin paradise was SUPERB!!

.

i must say,

we saw so many of those Australian penguins.

they were species that were really-really small and those penguins were so CUTE!!! Ultimate CUTE-NESS!!!.

.

we didnt take pictures because firstly we were warned and reminded by our tour guide that we cannot take pictures there and so i didnt.

although i saw many others who ignored all the signs and all and continues to disturb those cutie creatures.

IRRITATING!

.

nevertheless, we had a great time watching those cuties moving around in the dark after they come back from the sea and watch them moving in groups to stay safe.

so cute!

it was FUN!

.

our Supper.

recommended by one of my friends and we were lucky that we actually found our way there.

.

it was FUN to walk in the night with that cool breeze blowing.

=)

.

but the others said it was too cold.

=P

something different from what we had here.

.

this looks like Nasi Pattaya to me.

.

.

.
