Melbourne Trip 25 Sept - 3 Oct 2009

Day 1- 25.9.09
Weather: Nice but very miserably raining
Place visited: Melbourne City Area, Melbourne Aquarium, LV Store
Mood: Tiring as it was a lots of walking around and perhaps due to the fact that I have just touched down from the airport without good sleep whilst on the plane. However, basically like it just that the rain was the mood spoiler.


Day 2- 26.9.09
Weather: Chilly (the winds in Melbourne is like bone chilling)
Place visited: CW's friend's place for BBQ lunch and CW's working place cum restaurant with great Japanese food + wonderful Ikura.
Mood: Love it! Watched the 'Footie' aka Australian so called football + rugby mixed together into a sport. Not as tired.

Day 3- 27.9.09
Weather: Horribly cold and rainy
Place visited: Went to the Dandenong Ranges but it was raining so heavily. Didn't manage to get a good view of the greenaries. Had lunch at Ms Mapples with nice scones and beef pastries. Cooked dinner back at CW's place and watched some lame S'porean movie with a bad ending...
Mood: Dampened by the rain!

Day 4- 28.9.09
Weather: Nice and sunny but with breezy winds
Place visited: St Kilda's beach, Luna Park, Brighton Bridge and we walked from Brighton Bridge after dinner back to St Kilda. It was a long walk... Had blisters from the walk. (Funny how wearing comfy shoes and socks could still bring about blisters.) Nevermind, as long as CW is satisfied with this adventure, it is ok. At least she managed to satisfy her curiosity and accomplished what she wanted to do.
Mood: Glad and neutral. Love the beaches!

Day 5- 29.9.09
Weather: Perfect sunlight with light breeze
Place visited: Phillip Island. Met the Penguins, Koalas, Wombat, Kangaroos, Emus, Sheeps, Cows, Wallabies and Seagulls. The Nobbies were pretty with the coastal waves and beaches of Phillip Island.
Mood: Elated to be able to come close to those animals and even being able to touch the kangaroos! The Penguins were cute too, small and cuddly, although I can't touch but can imagine myself hugging them.

Day 6- 30.9.09
Weather: Good amount of sun and also windy
Place visited: Windsor (Chapel Street) for brunch. Met up with Ee Kian aka Alisa for lunch. The Rialto had beautiful scenic views of Melbourne from daylight to dusk to evening or should I say night light up. Totally nice! Love the windy feel of almost being blown away whilst being in the open area of The Rialto. Crown Casino had average buffet but pretty much poor service as compared to other Melbourne cafes + restaurants that I had been over the past few days. Disappointing variety of food available, considering it as a buffet style. Desserts there sucks too.
Mood: Neutral, considering the day was good but ended with me almost wanting to strangle the waitress at Crown Casino restaurant for their inefficient service and poor variety of food.

Day 7- 01.10.09
Weather: Sunny day
Place visited: Great Ocean Road
Mood: Love the ocean... I have always been a sea and ocean lover, thus, this tour of the ocean is totally beautiful and lovely. Helicopter view of the 12 apostles were amazing. I am totally blown away by the view...

Day 8- 02.10.09
Weather: Windy with Breeze
Place visited: Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Zoo and Docklands
Mood: Happy at the zoo as I got to see animals, which is another of my favourite activity. At Docklands, I saw a pair of high heels, silver shoe which was AUD 69 bucks. It was so pretty and I wanted to buy it but I knew if I bought it, there is no opportunity to wear them and even if there was an event grand enough for me to wear, I may also not wear them as they are so beautiful... Thus, I didn't buy them...

Day 9- 03.10.09
