haha. i've been online quite a fair bit these two days as i'm chilling at my cousin's place. melbourne's been great. i underestimated the cold wind at night though.
on sat, we went window shopping through myer and the small lanes along melb city. everything feels so expensive after shopping at the DFO in brisbane. i heard the DFO here is much bigger so we are currently waiting for some nice soul to drive us there.
food is fantastic in melbourne. we had good brekky everyday. nice thing about melb is that they have many theme-based cafes for you to chill. aussies lead a very relaxed life. damn it. jealousy strikes. you hardly see singaporeans drinking cap or latte from early morning to noon.
today we shopped for fruits at victoria market. the fruits here are so much sweeter, bigger, more variety and definitely alot cheaper here in melb. we bought cherries at 8 bucks/kg while ou get there for at least $16/kg in singapore. we were supposed to have picnic at botanic gardenwith my cousin's friends, but it was too crowded so we found our picnic spot at this park near melb mueseum.
i lead such a non-tourisy life in melb. there are barely any sightseeing and the only place we will most probably visit is penguin island. leading very much a life most international students lead here.
talking about islands, we were driving to the most expensive island in australia in GC. it is called the soveriegn islands. it is a man-made islands with the residents paving their own roads. every household owns a dock and a jetski or a yatch as they live by the river.
haha, oh, i was called "learned, well-read" by my cousin's friends. can't believe it. muahaha. feel so happy. does that mean i've the same intellectual level as a honors student that's why i can understand them and relate to them. haha, but my cousin would say "no, they're just childish". i think i was supposed to feel abit intimidated by them, but there were never such feelings. haha.
weatherman said there might be a thunderstorm tmr. not looking forward. i'll most prob be giving melb uni a visit tmr. ahhhh. all the brainwashing. now it seems like australia is the place to go for tertiary education. but i don't want. haha.
anyway, i'll be moving to a service apartment tomorrow which means no more internet access
do anyone of you guys need anything? like starburst, chocolates, nuts, fruits. or even clothes/bags/shoes. just send me a sms.. i'll be able to get it for you.
