Melb & Syd Trip

okie.. alexie is finally back.. wahaha.. phew, huge amounts of stuff happened for the past 'decade'.. havent been here for ages!
mm, where to start.. lemme see.. mm.. too much till i dono where to start..
first of all, my darling.. Geraldine.. hi baby :)

OK! Melbourne and Sydney..
but before that, lets start with time spend with Wai Kit, Chun Kit and Jahn Thung in Brisbane.. i really really enjoyed the time being around with them and bringing them around Brisbane and Gold Coast, brought them shopping, sight seeing, EATING (KEBAB, which Wai Kit LOVES it so much) .. and the famous CITY CAT ( which Wai Kit LOVES it so much too!!) mm, its been like almost a moth since they left, which i think by now they will be busy with their everyday life.. me too! but im busier..

SYDNEY:

- Sydney city -

first of all, im the cameraman, unuqualified cameraman, going everywhere with my MiniDV, capturing all the moments and views.. yea, we (5 of us - Alex, David, Chun Kit, Wai Kit and Jahn Thung) are in SYDNEY for only 2 days, which is a very short time, but we enjoyed there! thanks to Teck Cheong for bringing us around and introducing us GOOD foods! mm.. the first thing we do when we arrive in sydney is checking into our apartment! OMG, the apartment was a BOMB, two level apartment, in the middle of the city! and the view, mm.. good but not fantastic, as the view from the balcony is blocked by towers.. sad that we can only 'enjoy' the apartment for 2 days.. but still, LUXURY apartment..

- Opera House nite -

mm, went to the main attractions in sydney, harbour bridge, opera house, botanical garden bla bla bla, also, me alone walked a fair amount of distance, cause wanna go try the famous pie! but ended up passing by the stall, cause i thought it was a shop, man, its like a stall instead! gosh.. nvm, next time.. also, i've tried the best sushi in sydney, man, its made freshly, infront of me! the soft shell crab roll! and also, thanks to Teck Cheong, i've tried the BEST PORT RIBS in SYDNEY! its located at Bondi Beach.. man, i will remember the restaurant for the rest of my life, its called HURRICANES GRILL & BAR.. fantastica!!

- Grilled Pork Ribs -

well, thats pretty much for Sydney, and of course, the 5 guys..

- David, Alex, Thung, Chun Kit, Mr. Lam, over looking Harbour Bridge -

OK.. Sydney is done!!

Melbourne:

spent the rest of my trip in Melbourne and Mt. Buller, Melb is a very nice city, i love the buildings over there.. especially those heritage buildings.. especially Flinders Street.. love it.. well, melbourne is the perfect place for shopping and eating!! enjoyed the food there so much! especially the dim sum, thai food, and of course!! the best Gelati!! oh god.. every1 must try it i reckon.. the first day we're in melbourne, we went to phillip island, where we can watch penguins walking up the shore after their day out hunting for foods, the penguins we saw was the world's smallest penguins.. so cute.. and no cameras allowed, therefore no pics.. and that time was so windy and it rained.. wat a bad day to watch penguins.. on our way to philip island, we stopped by at this animal ranch to check out some kangaroos and ostriches and lambs.. and of course! koala's..

- koala behind me -

oh man, how i wish i can be a koala, sleep 18 hours per day, and the rest of the time, i wake up and eat, and sleep again.. haha.. thats y they are so cute.. and chubby..

the third day in melbourne, we head up to Mt. Buller, to taste snow for the first time in my life.. and also skiing.. the trip up to mt buller takes up to 3 hours, and when we first reach up there, its not that cold, but after a while, i need my jacket already.. its FREEZING!! and i really enjoyed the time up there.. skiing, playing with snow, licking snow, and eating hot kimchi ramyun in the freezing weather.. enjoyed!!

- first day, our chalet, not that cold -

we only spent 3 days on the mountain, the first day, we went sight seeing, and enrol myself in the skiing lesson.. walked on snow and encountered blizzard.. not a bad one but bad enuf to cover the mountain with snow! the second day me and Thung spent the whole day skiing (we took the lesson together), man, skiing is sure a tiring sport, its also a dangerous sport! there's lotsa ppl learning to ski up there, from young to the elderly.

the younger childer, they look so so cute when they skii, and trust me, their skiing skill be far better than anyone of the beginner.. they skii without poles!! and i need those skii poles to balance myself.. haha.. if i were those small childrens, i will laugh at whoever beginner learning, "heh.. look at me, without poles.. u adults need them.. heh.. too bad :p"

- skiing for the first time, enjoyed it -

enjoyed skiing so much, also at the same time, scary that we might crash onto some1 else.. in fact, i did hurt myself.. but its a painful and funnie scene.. skiing.. arrhhh... can't wait for another time.. oh, sempat i make a snowman.. haha.. it isn't an easy job every1.. haha..

- after the hard work, phew.. hehe -

well.. just noticed we never take a group photo up in the mountain.. so, no group photo.. to bad..

we did nothing much after mt. buller.. just hang around in melbourne city and eat cheap foods, cause we've spent too much before that.. after mt buller, head back to brisbane.. and phew, the trip is officially finished.. and that the time i spent time with my darling, Geraldine, missed her so much during the trip.. haha.. luv ya..

thats all.. phew, wat a long one.. will be back soon enuf..
