School is OUT, Fun is IN

My blog is full of cobwebs now!!! I expected this when I first started my blog... cause I know I'm not so persistent in these kind of things; it's a sudden rush of passion that I started the blog. Well, in any case, I'm blogging now cause I've got quite abit of time in my hands. Exams are over! And I'm glad they are... This exam period is extremely challenging. I fell sick...very sick. Had a fever that refuse to go away for days and hit right up to 39.5 degrees. The ordeal lasted til just the day before my exams that I finally feel much much better. I've never fallen so sick for a very long time. I do catch a cold here and there but never so bad and so long! To make things worse, I can't rest because I've so much revision to do. On top of that, I didn't want to miss Asia Conference. Even though, I missed quite alot of it =(

Woooh! It was soooo stressful and I'm glad I'm having the time to rest and enjoy life this week. So to make myself happy, I did up my nails.. I'm gonna be meeting up some friends this week.. I'm gonna make x'mas cards (got inspired by the card shop at citi-link!)... And I'll be emceeing at LOUD Party @ *scape this Friday. All of these I LOVE to do. And of course, not forgetting...just bumming around to watch tv. Hahaha. After this week of indulgence in Me Myself and I (Haha!), I'll be busy doing quite a few things... Emerge! MMF?? X'mas!!!! Thanksgiving & Appreciation! Meeting new ppl, hanging out with friends! Growth! I'm looking forward for a fruitful, fun and fulfilling December. I'm excited even as I'm typing it now... I'm gonna end my year on a high note, so 2009 will begin high! Life just gets better and of course... busier! Hahaha.

2009 is going to be my best year yet!

Australia - Melbourne City

Melbourne City is absolutely beautiful, it has an old english look which makes one nostalgic for the past.

Here's Melbourne City at night....





And Melbourne City in the day...

Electirc Trams in 21st Century modern Melbourne City!

The trucks in Australia just look so cute and toy-like. They are colourful and some even look like Transformers.

Visited the national library...

My sis and I took the City Tour Shuttle Bus and alighted at University of Melbourne. The place is absolutely "Harry-Potter"... if you know what I mean. And when I compare Melbourne Uni to NUS... hmmmx... I can't even compare to begin with.

At the background is the hostel for Melbourne Uni. And it looks that the castle which Harry Potter lived!!! Eusoff oh eusoff hall... You need a major make over!

Australia! - Philip's Island

The second day in Melbourne, we went on a tour group to Philip's Island. The 1st stop for lunch is in this town called Tooradin.

We bought chicken and chips and we got a huge box of chips! Check them out! Of course...we couldn't finish and threw most of them away. Man, we were so shocked when we receive our food.

Next stop, a vineyard. Nothing spectacular...kinda boring. After which, we headed to farmyards where to my surprise, I enjoyed myself very much. For a person who is afraid and don't like animals, I guess I proved myself wrong =D

On the way to Philip's Island where the very cute and lovely penguins come on shore after 6.30pm when all is dark. It was really fun to watch the penguins walk to shore and observe their behavior. A sight to behold... but no pictures allowed! Philip's Island is very cold... especially when it's night time in winter and the wind is blowing mercilessly at you. I think it should be less than 10degrees there.

Cuties!

Australia! - Great Ocean Road

I had a great time in Australia with my parents, sister and family friend. We visited many places... Here are some wonderful photos:
PS: This post is still under construction.

- Changi Airport: Mum, Aunty Doris, Me

Transfer Bus to Perth Domestic Airport: It's very cold in Perth!

In Spore, we take free Skytrain from one terminal to another. In Australia, you take transfer bus which requires you to pay. We didn't have to pay because we are Qantas passengers. Hmmx...no wonder some airports are world class and others are far from it. Hees, I very mean!

Don't my parents look so good together?! =D

Best friends!

From Changi airport, we took a flight to Perth then to Melbourne. Melbourne is the first place we went. It's beautiful! The most memorable of all is the first day when we drove down Great Ocean Road. Melbourne is in the south of Australia. It has a stretch of road a long the South Ocean (if I'm not wrong). I don't particularly like to do sight seeing during tours cause I find it boring. But GOR blew me away with it's magnificient sights and breath-taking views. As it's winter, it's very cooling...freezing in the morning and when night falls..but just cooling in the afternoon. So you can imagine...nice wind blowing at you while you're so captivated by these wonderful sights.

Breakfast

Grace made tea using this metal pail. She puts the tea powder and hot water in the pail and mixes them by swinging it. She says the gravity will cause the tea to be pushed to the bottom of the pail and it won't fall off =P Cool! Haven't tried at home yet. Haha.

1st stop after breakfast

Toilet Break

Cape Patton: just a nice place to enjoy the scenery

Look at the back! That's my house...in the future. Haha. There are many vacation houses that overlook the South Ocean. *WAH!* I don't mind owning one of those. Solution: either I become so wealthy and buy a house there, or marry someone rich and make him buy it for me as a wedding gift...haha. Wake up Gloria!!!!

We saw a few Koalas. This was the nearest and largest. The rest were high up and hiding behind the leaves. Koalas are very fragile, they either have lesser ribs or weak ribs (can't rmb which is it). But it's not good to hug or cuddle koalas. They always cling onto the branches because the type of leaves that they eat do not give them energy for activities more than clinging. Haha.

Maits Rest Rainforest

We took a walk in the rainforest and saw trees hundreds of years old.
