Victoria, The Place To Be : Day One
Your long awaited entry is here! "That's not rain, it's liquid sunshine!" I will always remember what the bus driver said as he drove along the streets of Melbourne City. It was drizzling and he cracked that joke I thought was not only the heartwarming optimism that the people in but left a deep impression in me.
Hey, it's me in the bustling city of Melbourne. Too bad TYH isn't with us, or else it would be FUN x 100. But hey, having 3 girls traveling together isn't a bad idea after all! This trip made us understand each other better, and oh, what else..shopping? Ha you really don't wanna know.
The place we were lodging in was smacked right in the middle of the city. Accessible, safer and very convenient in terms of shopping, food and sightseeing. It's an apartment and only cost us 800AUD for the rest our 9-day stay in Melbourne.
Break of dawn
The Kitchen which reminded me of the person next door
(He/She whips yummy Chinese Food! The aroma literally travels!)
Balcony! Check out the state library!
The humble living room. See that sofa? I slept throughout the entire stay.
I know many are particular, verdict: their toilets are SUPER clean.
We got there by this shuttle service called SkyBus (26AUD/2-Way) that has an additional free hotel shuttle service which fetches you back to the airport.The Kitchen which reminded me of the person next door

We were greeted by the freezing ass cold winter here in Melbourne but we're all ready to fight it!
In order to blog proper entries, I have decided to blog according to categories, i.e. Food, Places of Interests, Shopping..if there's more to come, I'll add on.
Day 1 was nothing much really. Besides planning our day tours and catching up and stoning in Starbucks, enjoying a hot cup of Starbucks coffee which Samantha has craved for since I don't-know-when (Perth has no Starbucks, apparently), our day was nothing but shopping and eating and walking.
Bitching session, what we do best. :)
Aveline with heavy eyebags!
Super messy yet cool shopping arcade.
Runway model Aveline.
Waiting for me by the changing room.
Witchery, a shop Samme loves patronizing

The day ended early. 6P.M and most retail outlets are closed for the day which to much our dismay, shopping had to end too. But sightseeing went on, with Samantha and me prowling the streets at night with the already "dead" Aveline back home watching TV.
Day Two will be up tomorrow! :) Just keep a watch out for more pictures and interesting stuff about Melbourne, the place to be.

Digression in Progression : Run
Whilst blogging about my Aussie trip, my friend told me something she predicted and all I can do now is to dedicate this song to her. I'll treat you to Ben and Jerry's the time we meet. Meanwhile be happy happy, with your DVDs.
If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time by R.Kelly
How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Ohh Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, you would be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, still be mine
And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, you would be mine, whoa
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd, still be mine
Ohh I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
turn back, the hands (the hands)
There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back, in your heart, (If I could turn back the hands)
And I love you
Whoa (If I could turn back)
That would be my will (If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands (If I could turn back the hands)
I'm going down, yes I am (If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah (If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me, whoa (If I could turn back the hands)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall (If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you (If I could turn back)
Love you. Love you. Love you (If I could turn back the hands)

Achy
Creak! Crack? Croak.
That's probably what you'll hear when I walk pass you. Yes, I'm back from Perth and now practically doing my dirty laundry and trying to keep myself away from all the yummy food that awaits me at the nearby hawker centre. You don't know how desperate I am from all the sandwiches, and fried battered food I had in OZ that made me crave for local delights in Singapore! Like what I always tell Aveline and Samantha, I can eat a cow!
Cheers mate!
Anyway, as I know you guys are still patiently waiting my update of OZ, I have to apologize. As much as I want to update about OZ, I've got a gazillion photos yet to be recieved and much editing to be done so those might take time. I would most likely blog about OZ next week? :) Your wait is truly appreciated.
Meanwhile waiting, why not catch an awesome movie I've caught with Samantha called Mozart and the Whale, this awesome film starring Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell? A soul lifting, sweet and cute (of course, with Josh Hartnett in it), dramatic, romantic comedy inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance. By the way, we both love the entire film, so if you're wondering if it's worth watching, go figure.
Whee, now that I'm done with what I wanna say, I'm off to my beauty sleep. :)

Are You Feeling Me?
Hello hello!
Missing me, anyone? Yeong's reporting love from Perth and I just wanna tell you how much I miss eating seafood hor fun (long story; I'll elaborate later after I've returned from Australia)
Anyways, I've about 4 more days in Perth here and I know this might sound exaggerating but the whole trip is just amazing (although I really think the weather in Perth is cranky and Melbourne is just freezing ass cold) Shopping, food and sceneries...you can't ask for more!
I'll blog more when I return, with Melbourne's and Perth's best.
Watch out for this space!
