my life at 21: my very FIRST week in Melbourne

In the plane...

The bloody journey from the entrance to my seat takes like 15 mins when it should take like less than 5 mins? There were so many ppl putting their hand carry luggage into the cabin and some was like taking their own sweet time while i stand there waiting. Can't blame them laa cz some inconsiderate ppl simply put their luggage and makes it so hard to fit everything in. But it was dem sad for me la! With my two bags i was like struggling to not hit the ppl sitting wit my over-sized bag. SO yea...15 mins of taking few steps wait take few steps wait.

Once i reach my seat i dozed off almost immediately. I was so tired! I've to say the video facilities they have is AWESOME! They have like soooooo many movies, pretty new all of them. And they've got like series and a wide range of albums that u can choose from for audio. But i didn't manage to make much use of it as i slept for like 5 HOURS and only watched The Other Boleyn Girl for a bit before touching down at the Melbourne Airport.

Finally in MELBOURNE...!

It was so bloody cold! Actually it's okay without the wind but once the wind comes only...u'll freeze ur butt off! Plus it's like at the suburb where there's not much buildings so it's superbly cold. Then again, it might be cause i felt the huge difference from the crazy hot tropical country Malaysia. Watever la. Conclusion is, it was brain freezing cold.

We were 'collected' by Swee Fun and went back to her crib for shower and beauty sleep. She's sucha sweetie! The next day we had dim sum! Yum..! Apparently the service in chinese restaurants is really bad. The one we went was sort of like the best serviced one (but still not say very good, jus okay la~). Got a bit of a culture shock. The chinese ppl here treat other chinese really bad. Like there was this waitress who made a small mistake of jotting down the wrong table number on the order form and was thrown stuffs and shouted at. It's like wtf? So a piece of advice, NEVER work for chinese employers. They work u to death. Literally.

Day #1

That's our lovely host, Swee Fun! She showed us around and drove us everywhere (petrol price here is real expensive, it's bout Rm4+) so yea, that was real nice of her. After eating me and bro went to explore the city cz Swee had to go run some errand.

This is Melbourne Central! Kinda like the hub of the city, to me that is. The easiest place to get to and meet up cause it's in the middle of the city. Guess i'll be hanging out here like a lot. Hoho.

We were marking our territory..lol

Ooo....comes dinner time! We had korean bbq at Korean House! Yummy...

Phone rings. Vicye on the line..."wanna go for a drink in crowne?". And i replied "okay!".

Day #2

JiaJia, lemme show u the city! Hehe!

Levin if u're reading this, that's Ernst&Young for u! Hehe!

This is also the day i got my Gucci wallet..woohoo! Hehe!

Don't u find it sooo delicioussss?? Yum yum. But designer goods here are not portrayed as something luxurious. It's like the shop can be found randomly on the street and the shop next to it can be some shop selling chaplang stuffs. Not like how it is in Malaysia where all designer brands grouped together on one single floor or anything like that. And EVERYONE carries LV, Gucci, Prada etc like it's RM10. Quite crazy huh?

Then we went to have coffee and some dessert for tea break.

Later at night Swee brought us to this place to take pics...

Day #3

Breakfast at Picnic on Toorak Rd!

Everyone..this lovely place is Melbourne University. Very beautiful huh. I was pretty much in awe when i saw the place. Never knew it's this beautiful. It's old..but the whole place give u such a peaceful feeling thou it's cold like hell.

Later in the day at some Asian supermarket in QV...

Look what i found!! Jus change the 'a' to 'e' and i have my own brand! Mwahaha. I found so many food which i can find in Msia here! Feel so warm and at home. Hohoho. Dropped by to buy some groceries for dinner. We had steamboat at Swee's! Hehe. Hunted down a few of them even some random brands.
