Ok...decided i have settled down enough to narrate a little on my limited "events" in Melbourne...

Day 1: airport T3
Our flight is at 1150pm but we reached the airport at 9~ cos it's the first time i am going to Terminal 3, so we decided to walk ard inside...but in the end, i realised...reallie nothing much to see...just the usual branded goods...

After we passed the customs, i realised i forgot to bring a rubber band for my hair...so i had to buy from watsons (where i was "supposedly" banned...hehehe)...but apparently they ONLY sell in a pack...which means i had to buy TWELVE rubber bands -_- haha...
thinking that i will be quite bored in the back of the car, i decided to buy a CLEO magazine...which means even before i set off for Australia, i already spent $3.70 + $4.50 =.= zzzzzzzz...

I was very upset by the service provided by the SIA air stewardess (if you call that a service at all)...The 3 of us, when dressed in casual wear, reallie looks like poor students...but does that warrant a "discrimination"? For eg, yx and i had our seats inclined slightly...reallie is slightly compared to the 2 in front of us...when it's time to serve the meals, the air stewardess ONLY asked yx and i to put our seats upright, without telling the 2 ppl in front of us...is it simply becos they look more like prospective passengers that will buy from Kris shop? i dunno...it was also rude of her to WAKE us up to have the hot towel...i tot it's fucking common sense to leave sleeping passengers alone?! and gosh, her voice is loud, we are not in a bloody market for crying out loud...(by the way, i have already sent a letter to SIA regarding the "professional" services i received) ...so putting aside this unpleasant service provided, i did enjoy the movies screened...i managed to watch Hana yori dango the movie, the incredible hulk (the one w edward norton :))...throughout the flight, i onli managed to sleep about 2 hours...:( partly cos i was woken up -.-" shit.

29 November 2008
Reached Melbourne airport at 1000am

Yay~ we are finally there! I always enjoyed the whoel Australia laid back atmosphere...:)
We had to wait quite a while at the car rental to retrieve our car though...and we were a bit lost at first, cos the GPS doesn't work at the basement carpark, so kinda scary tat we dunno where we are heading...anywayz, in the end we still made a wrong turn...=X
the first meal we had there was Macs...haha...hmm...their cup of drink is so bloody small o.O haha...but maybe cos I was hungry, I kinda gobbled down the burger...hiakz...

There's a petrol kiosk just next to Macs, so we went there to get some "junk food" haha...and we are back on the road again...throughout the trip...a bit sian...cos the scenery looks the same...and somehow the gps seems a bit siao siao...always asking us to go on some "detour" and "shortcut" =.= very deserted places...anw, i think yx's bro was rather tired too so he had to rest a few times b4 continuing...

after lots of turning...we finally reached the hotel - Loch Ard Motel...
The view from our room is really nice! cos we got to see the ocean...after settling down, we drove to the 12 Apostles...the weather was turning cold! (i so regret not bringing my sis's jacket out instead...) by the time we walked back, our hands were pretty numb...yet the sun shows no signs of setting yet...haha...then we moved to another "attraction"...but yx was very cold by then (she had a cold in Singapore already), so we did not climb down...just see see a bit then went back to get dinner...in the end, we had to eat pizza and some chicken cooked like pizza =.= haha...i really think i cannot take too "westernised" food...lol...it was too rich in the cheese compartment...

In the end, we slpt pretty early that night cos we were all very tired from the plane ride + road and in yx's bro's case, from driving...

(still waitng for photos to come...lalala)
