Melbourne Trip Part 1
Finally, finished unpacked my stuffs and able to post my Melbourne trip blog. Sorry for disappearing for so long. So now, AM BACK!!! haha...I spent 2 weeks in Melbourne and staying with my sister in Maribyrnong with 2 cute rabbits. In Melbourne, I got a chance to go to casino (my first time!!!), take tramp, visiting Melbourne University. Well, overall, Melbourne is really a good place to stay, although we have to bear with the "4 seasons a day", but the environment is totally different from here. I will definately go there again. Maybe staying but who knows =P
Ok. Enough for my nagging. Here the story goes...
Day 1 - Arriving at Tullarmarine Airport (11.50am GMT +10)
Finally, after 8 hours of flight, I am finally arriving at Melbourne Airport.
Though is XL class of Air Asia, for me, i still don't like it either. Especially for a long-distance flight. (My backside was painful!!!)
Since me and my sister took night flight, we were extreamly tired upon arriving. The weather was not as hot as during CNY so I AM LUCKY!!! HAHA... Anyway, i met my sister coursemate - Sherman Lee which is from Hong Kong. He was fetching us from the airport and we had lunch together.
Day 2 - Melbourne City
There was a huge difference between city and suburb in Melbourne. Since we are staying in suburb, we need to drive at least 20 - 30 min to reach city. Here, traffic lights are A LOT!!! That's why it took so long to reach city.
Day 3 - Crown - The City of Entertainment
After dinner, my sisters and future brother-in-law brought me to casino. In Melbourne, there is a casino in Southbank, named Crown - The City of Entertainment. Since i am 19 this year, i am allowed to enter the casino here =)
We are suppose to wait for some sort of fire show outside the tower, but after 1 hour of waiting, we didn't saw anything. We totally forgot Melbourne is in total fire-band (after the bushfire incidents)
But when i enter, i have no luck at all. I lose about 100 dollar from my sister's winning. And yet she still got another 150 dollar in cash. She really won a lot.
Day 4 - Food Paradise...
Now i know why my sisters didn't want to eat any food in Malaysia so eagerly. Melbourne has so many DELICIOUS FOOD!!!
(Sorry i didnt take any photos. Hasn't got camera from my sister yet =P)
Day 5 - Flemington Sunday Market + Chua Yeong Kai's birthday
Flemington Sunday market is held once in a month. I am so lucky that being able to visit it when i am in Melbourne =)
They sells anything here. Flowers, plants, foods, clothes, souvenirs, cards etc... There is one stall that sells cupcakes. The decorations on it doesn't look real!!! The taste is nice too... There is a lot of people queuing, that's why it took us very long to purchase it.
At night, we had a barbecue dinner in my future brother-in-law to celebrate his birthday. WE have barbecue lamb and corn. HAHA. Chocolate cake from Bread Top is up next!!!
Day 6 - Resting day...
Didn't went out today. Lunch - Maggi Mee. Dinner - My second sister bought back for us.
But, i DID took a lot of Taro and Ia-ya's photos. Who are they? Here they are... TADA!!!
They are my sister's rabbits... haha
Day 7 - Visiting Melbourne Zoo + Steak dinner by my SISTER!!!
Yes, visiting Melbourne Zoo in the afternoon. Well there isn't much animals to see. I prefer Melaka Zoo though.
Anyway, after that, we went to Safeway to buy steak and grill ourselves. It was so delicious... In Australia, steak is cheaper than pork. That's why my sister always grill herself.
To be continue...
