greetings from....*drumroll* MELBOURNE!!!!!!!!!!!!
wootwoot!!! *wave wave*
it's cold today...have been raining quite abit over here...though there have been sunny patches and the weather looks to be getting warmer as we head towards the end of the week (do i sound like a weathergirl or what!?)
haha melbourne's the same as ever...it's only when i stepped onto melbourne soil that i realized just how much i've missed this place...mum, fawn and i are staying at somerset on elizabeth..this serviced apartment that's nice and cosy...not to mention it's right smack in the middle of the city (on elizabeth street between la trobe and bourke)...
there's been changes since i was last here...new buildings, major constructions etc...the new GPO houses a ben sherman boutique that currently has the caricature heads of prince charles, camilla parker bowles, prince william and gang attached to their window display models...it's quite a laugh to see the head of the QUEEN attached to the young, supple plastic body of a model with gorgeous legs...haha
melbourne central's all made up and construction has completed...it now houses some of the top brands and is like this one-stop shopping complex...haven't bought anything though..mum's holding the purse strings pretty tight..i haven't even ventured into my favourite MOLLINI'S!!!
shopping aside...i drove (yes ME! I DROVE!!!) more than 1400km in 3 days MUAHAHA we rented a camry and were typical tourists...drove down great ocean road...almost fell asleep at the wheel on the highway back to the city!!! i was SO tired after being on the roads for about 16hours! just closed my eyes and next thing i knew it, my mum OEI-ed me and when i opened my eyes, my car had drifted half into the right lane...it's a good thing there wasn't a car *phew*
went to the dandenongs the next day..followed by phillip island that night..the trees are all still standing magnificently, miss marples still have shiok scones (mmmmm CRREEEEAAAAMMMMM *nudge nudge fengmin & gracie & netty*), and those cute little penguins are still waddling about...
i'm carless again, after that road trip...and it's prob a good thing coz it's hell looking for parking in the city...but i'm like this tour guide without a tour bus and i keep having to rack my head to think up of places to bring mum and fawn...bleahz...
left them to the mercy of the city yesterday and went to play baddy in uni! woohoo! haha haven't held a racket since my last training session here before i left melbourne in august...thank goodness i can still play...somewhat...haha got tired SO SOON though...that's how unfit i am right now..but it's so good to see everyone and to exercise again...
gonna meet up with genie later on tonight...and maybe glenn will come too even though he hasn't replied to my sms and his parents are here....i think we shall go for STEAKS at TIAMO!!! woot woot!!! hahaha
