7pm: I've reached the airport to check in my luggage. My blue samsonite luggage which served me faithfully throughout my work trips and a small haversack. Yc happened to be back from his Shanghai trip and we met up at the Departure Hall the moment he touched down and arrived at Arrival Hall.
8-ish pm: Had burger king for dinner with the girls the moment we head in the transit as we await our 7 hours flight. Told ourselves to sleep and restrain from playing the console or movies as we need our beauty sleep and to be refreshed the moment we reach Melbourne.
9pm: SQ227 prepared to take off.....
Somewhere in between Singapore and Australia Skies.... *middle of the night or dawnish*
4am Singapore time or rather 7am Melbourne time:Girls touched down at Melbourne Airport.
Checked temperature and @##$!!! Freaking 11 Degrees Celcius! Wait a minute, what happened to SUMMER?! Hooey mentally figuring her luggage for her clothes which.. sadly, all SUMMER outfits-AKA shorts, skirts, sleeveless tops. DAMN!
Took out her one and only sweater.And spent a long time as we kena checked by custom officers, questioned by them, believed they thought we were here for something else other than a leisure trip. @##$! DO we Look like what they think we are?!!!! Told them we were engineers and had our business cards checked. Seriously....
Not to be detered by this, HOoey and friends smiled as we make our way out! MELBOURNE HERE WE COME!!!!!
Melbourne and their trams. City Tram (Red Circle Line) is free for tourists and public. Now that's what i call service. Singapore should implement something like that that goes around Orchard, City Hall, Tanglin.
The one behind me is the White Tram (Green Line). Need to Pay.
Metcard ONe day pass: $7 plus on weekday, $2.50 on Sunday.
Something is seriously wrong with my blogger and i cant seem to upload any pictures. So, i'll just continue blabbering and wait for an opportune time to upload.
First destination: Warook Cattle Farm.
That's the place where i first fed lambs, calfs, up close with a joey (not the one in friends), fed kangaroos, emus and goat! Done more in melbourne than i ever did in Singapore Zoo. We had a luxurious farm lunch with beef chicken combo which i only realized my meal were probably the kins of those animals i saw. *excuse me*
Played with the Whip! Couldn quite produce the cracking sound as demonstrated by the chic farm cow-girl. And saw dogs rounding cattle of sheeps! Of course let's not forget, i milked a cow called either Sue or Dairy and drank the milk on the spot! It taste pretty normal, just not as sweet as the processed type we have in the supermarkets here.
After which we went to see koalas. They were so sleepy and rigid i thought the staff actually placed stuff toys hanging by the tree bunches. Of cos, it was to my delight one woke up for like half a minute yawning at the crowd before it went back to sleep. Sleepy bunch of animals.
*to be continued. Having tried uploading photos to blogger with no success.. thought i just post the above up first.************************************
