oh my goodness.
i still can't believe i'm back home.
haha.
melbourne was a blast.
i had my fair share of freezing my ass off (yes, in spring), horseriding, fishing, cherry-picking, waterfall seeing, sliding down huge slides, penguins, optical illusions, log cabins, 12apostles, fearing that we'd run down a kangaroo or wallaby, endless mountains, cow-spotting, the beautiful bountiful blur sea and etc.
you get the point.
shan't go on and on abt every highlight.
ok fine, just some.
bear with me. =)
first,
it was the UNBEARABLE SEVEN HOUR flight there.a fat person sat in front of me, and a fat person sat behind me. that sucked.
reached melb at arnd 3am melb time.
was freezing.
siblings and i tried to blow mist from our mouths. HA HA!
rented a car and set out to look for lini's apt.
failed miserably.
asked abt a million people for directions, namely, two indians at a 7-11 PETROL KIOSK. haha!
found lini at abt 5am.
went to Great Ocean Road and saw the sea.
compared to sentosa, it was absolutely breath-taking.
took a gazillion photos.
fast forward.
went to see abt..4waterfalls.
had to climb and climb and climb to dunno where and finally reach the thing.
took ALOT of pictures there and had "see who can put their feet in the water the longest" competition with my family. and the water is freezing cold.
joey won, hands down.
haha!
fast forward.
went horseriding.
my butt ached for days after that.
but did the basic trotting and cantering and whatnot.
my horse was called..shites.forgot.
haha.
but it was the bully.
kept nosing other horses.
we rode thru this super secluded beach, yes BEACH. and some forest lik thingie and grasslands and all.
fast forward.
cherry picking was quite fun.
it was lik $5 entry fee and then pay for whatever the amount of cheeries you pick.
so we paid the 5bucks and went in and just picked and ate in the garden.
then we went out empty-handed.
haha!
oh, and we had some "see who can spit the cherry seed the furthest" competition.
needless to say, joey won, hands down.
i was second tho. =)
fast forward.
the accomodation plans were..actually,there were none to speak off.
my parents din book the hotels.we just stayed wherever there were motels.
there was this once, we looked till 1-pm and still couldnt find any.
we were so desperate, we contemplated sleepin in the car.
then FINALLY, we spotted The Cottage.haha.
the best motel we stayed in tho, was the log cabin.
it was awesome.
you wake up to kangaroos at your window, and i'm NOT exaggerating(*sp), tho i sound lik i am.
but seriously, took silent videos of them.
cos the log cabin was just beside this grassy area and kangaraoos go there.
HOWEVER, they scatter when they see you.
so no, i can't pat them.
bummer.
fast forward.
went fishing for my FIRST time and caught a rainbow trout.
tho the damn fishes kept eatin the bait and runnin, erm, swimmin away.
think im just too slow.
haha.
fast forward.
saw the 12apostles but couldn't figure out the faces for nuts.
they looked lik faceless rocks to me actually.
hehheh.
fast forward.
went to Philip Island, the Penguin Place and saw the Penguin Parade.
and boy, were they adorable or what.
they were the Little Penguins. they are abt 3inches tall. and you see them wobble up the beach and into their little barrow. god. and the way they mates is more barbaric then us humans. the male penguin literally throw another male penguin aside, takes his gal and pushes her into his barrow. haha!
and we visited the optical illusions place were i saw myself fat, thin(ooohh lala!), short, tall(oooohhh lala!) and curvy(yummy) on their mirrors. we played INTELLECTUALLY enriching games and took weird goofy photos on thir cool cameras which they later put on display. i tried tellin the lady that those were too unglam, but to my utter dismay, she just smiled and put a more unglam one of me smashin my face into the camera lense. she thot it was cute. dammit. haha!
and we went down this slide that was about 180degrees.and im not kidding. we had to wear some kinda suit.
and i almost had a heart attack.
and btw, the playgrounds in melb are super cool.
compared to sg that is.
i felt so deprived there, so we all decied to relive our childhood and play lik kids.
and we did.=)
oh and the mazes there are..erm..pretty challenging.
actually, i think i just suck at mazes.
came in last in almost EVERY maze we came across.
haha!
ok.
damn.that was long.
those of you who are actually still readin this, you must either:
a) be real bored
b) love reading and want to "devour" every word on this blog
c) really love me and wanna know abt my life ( in such cases, i love you too,haha!)
pictures coming soon.
and weird videos maybe.
oh and those of you who missed lini as much as i did, she's back in Sg.
till about feb.
so till then, i might be a tad bit more preoccupied than normal.
haha!
