KLIA…….
I left Malaysia with my mum,Jun Biao the sissy and Mr. BiG HeaD Chin Wei on the 10th of December 2007 at roughly ten in the morning..I wasn’t really excited about flying but Jun Biao the sissy was I think : it was his first time on an aeroplane..The flight was fine with friendly flight attendants serving you but there was one male attendant with a unhappy look on his face..All in all, on board music and movies were good..I watched The Simpsons , Family Guy , and a couple of episodes of House..So,it wasn’t that bad..I usually couldn’t finish food on the aeroplane but suprisingly,I finished everything..I guess I was hungry…
Arrived at Melbourne airport at 9.00 pm +..Took a cab to my sister’s place which cost approximately $60…dang! that’s like Rm180…Well,you can’t always convert to ringgit malaysia..otherwise, sim tia man..alright…time for pictures!! I’ll try to upload as many pics as I possibly can..
My sister’s birthday present…seriously,One Yard of Choco!haha
My sister’s shoes…………….A lot of shoes huh??? but wait….there’s more!
more shoes!
The sissy Jun Biao sleeping…look at him..sleeping almost in the middle of the bed and wrapping himself with the blanket like a cacoon.. I was sharing the same bed he was sleeping..damn…Woke up cold and I was right at the side of the bed…I almost fell when I woke up..That was how close I was to the side of the bed and he complains I snore..At least I don’t hog the blanket and the whole bed..
For the first few days,Jun Biao and I went exploring in the BIG CITY…We walked round and around..Took tramp rides around the city…Pretty interesting..Our feet were hurting after the first few days…I even had a cramp at my left calf…Both of us were exhausted after exploring the city…dead tired – it was fun…Chin Wei did tag along on the third day I think..We went to the Tennis Warehouse at Alexandra Parade…
These are called Spanish Doughnuts.,,They taste very similar to the yu char kuih..You eat them with hot chocolate…yummy…Had them at Fliders St. Station…
Nike Factory Outlet…Just Do It? Not really…There was nothing for me to buy…I was surprised that I wasn’t interested in anything…Even Jun Biao had nothing to get…However,things there aren’t that cheap..Most shoes are priced at $100 while some at $70 and $80…Went to other factory outlets : Adidas , Bilabong /Roxy , New Balance , Fila and others…I bought NOTHING!
the train station….there are three main train stations in Melbourne : Flinders St. Station , Melbourne Central and Flagstaff…
Federation Square…There is a Christmas show every night at 9.00pm from the 1st of December until the eve of Christmas…very entertaining show if you are watching it for the first time but it gets boring after you’ve watched it a couple of times…
Fed. Sq. …..see the maroon tramp?? It’s a free tramp which circles the city…
train tracks…..
We visited a church..I forgot what’s the name of the church though…However,it was a really breathtaking church..No doubt about that…If I’m not mistaken,it is the oldest church in Melbourne..
pretty…
Big Head and Jun Biao….
the altars..
the organ…
nice nice..
Limited edition shoes at Adidas Outlet…damn cool…
the four shoes above are Adidas Barricade IV…The shoes below is Adidas Barricade V…damn cool…the shoes cost around $200….boh lui to buy..
love this shoe..
This is what I called a public toilet….An automated toilet to be exact..I think Malaysia introduced the automated toilets around last year or so right?? OZ had them here for a quite some time already and they are free to be used..Free of charge! Even smelly , dirty , disgusting public toilets in Malaysia,you’ll have to pay at least 20 cents to enter..Public toilets here in Australia are damn clean even the toilets at the Victoria Market are clean..
damn cool toilet..haha…You only have 10 minutes to finish your ‘business’ though..A soothing yet pee-friendly music will be played during your visit..man..simply love the toilets..
cool…
Had dinner at a Korean restaurant with mum,sis and sissy…hehe…Food was great..I’ve gained a couple of pounds since I arrived here..No worries,I’ll lose them fast………….I hope..hehe
arrgghhh….I’m full / hungry ?? keke…
in the restaurant…nice setting…
got bored….so I did that ^ ^ ^
main dish with side dishes…really scrumptious food!
yummy…
the girl in the counter really looks like Tuan Tynn….but…TTT is slightly taller than her..otherwise she could be Tuan Tynn’s twin sister..Oh yeah..the girl in the black top is my sister..
Aussie’s version of Perodua Kancil…
Mitsubishi……..hmmm…looks similar to Proton Wira huh?? hehe.. Wonder who copied who???
Perodua Kembara???hmmm…
oh yeah…So far,I’ve seen one Proton Wira and three Proton Satria-s…haha…damn funny when I saw the cars…Can’t believe people here would buy such cars…Of all the other brans like Ford , Merz , BMW , Lexuz and etc. ,they bought Malaysian made cars…dang…
The battle of the minds..The Ah Pek is trying to psych the dude out..Look at his crazy eyes……………..
Christmas tree…It’s even more beautiful at night…
Police Station…
their’s burgers taste like McD’s Big Macs…One bugger burger cost like $5…It’s expensive if you convert..I bought a set consisting of two burgers and fries which sums up to $13.50..dang…
I went to Hungry Jacks simply because I was hungry…
Food here was much cheaper if compared to the Lord of The Fries..
It was a huge burger…With bacon and beef/chicken filling…delicious..I couldn’t believe that Jun Biao could finish his burger – he didn’t finish his fries…He couldn’t believe that he finished his burger as well..
yummy burger…cost me $ 12.50… one burger,fries and a drink…
a cafe near my sis’s apartment….look the price for nasi lemak….$9.00!
A one kilometer bridge I think…People here exercise at anytime…Some jog or do yoga under the hot sun at noon…Some even play tennis at this times…I even saw a couple of people jogging at ten o’clock at night…really weird…You don’t see people jogging at night in KL , do you?? haha…They’ll be probably robbed , raped and murdered…
some weird thing…modern art I supposed????
yeah!! Aus Open’s finals will be held here! Hope Federer gets to the finals..Nah…He WILL be in the final…
\
Vadafone Arena…Nearby to the Rod Laver Arena..
arghhh……Hand damn gatal man…But the court hire is too expensive : $25 per hour and university courts are about $12.50 per hour…
The buliding in the middle is called Eureka Skydeck…It has a movable platform which extends out to give you a great view…The floor is made of transparent material btw…So you’ll have a bird’s eye view of the city…
The Yarra River….
Melbourne Aquarium..
Another view of the Yarra River…
What can this be???

Myer…A large shopping complex…The shopping complex at Chadstone is much bigger than Midvalley Megamall I think…
ahhh…Forgot to rotate the photo…oh well..you can tilt your head a little I guess…Many many microphones heading towards a speaker…damn cool…$25 though…
The 9pm show I was talking about earlier..The one at Federation Square…I’v watched the show three times already…Still quite entertaining though…
Meet Hope… The red clown…
That Inspiration…The purple clown…
What happens is that every night, a new picture is revealed..see the one already revealed like the candle and dove? So it ends on X’mas eve… 24th will be the last show and also the last picture to be revealed…oh yeah…There is a competition for kids in which they have to guess which picture would come out..They have to fill in forms and guess the correct picture…
