Melbourne city!

This is where the adventure beings!
This piece of cheesecake almost cost Sam and I to miss our flight.
We were happily eating when we were supposed to board. haha!
It's damn hilarious at how retarded we were!

Yummy cheesecake!!!
Best so far that I've tasted!!!
Sam! My travel partner!!!
So cool that I'm going on a grad trip with my first friend in university!
One of the few friends that I really like!!!

Yes, others, u suck.
Our transit at Darwin airport.
It was 4 or 5am. Don't we still look awake? haha!

The ride to Darwin wasn't fantastic. I thought I booked an emergency exit seat!
But, I got it for my flight to Melbourne! Amazing!!! Better than normal plane flight!!!
$400+ for a huge seat, totally worth it!
And so we arrived!!!
I was using the internet for a bit while waiting for Shuling.
Such a pleasant surprise to find out that internet is free!
Our first meal!
Korean food near Shuling's apartment.
It's okay only. But there were lots of seafood!
The side dishes.
Nothing fantastic.
This was the 2nd day. We accompanied Shuling for her job interview.
It's so far away! Her friend's mom drove us there. So nice!
This shopping center is where Shuling went for her interview!
Sam and I walked around a bit.
This was the bus ride to Boxhill, a chinatown place.
The bus ride to there and back to her apartment was so long!
I love long bus rides!!!
The 3rd day! Outside Queen Victoria Market, with my new boots and coat!!!
Sam and Shuling, in the market.
The tags that Shuling and Sam made.
Shuling made one for her friend's dog. And she didn't tell the guy to not put the word "call". (the number were some dog ID number)
So she got pretty upset about it.
She went back to ask the guy to cancel the call word but thanks to me (!!!) I asked him to make a new one! I love it how I say things without thinking sometimes.
HAHA! That guy was really nice and he made a brand new one!!!
Shuling and I outside the stall!
We then went to brunetti cafe!
Yummy pastries!
Sam treated us! So generous!
My mocha!
Sam and I outside the clock tower.
We look so loving. haha!
Wonderful shot by Sam!
She managed to catch a tram as it went by.
Outside the state library!
Inside is fantastically beautiful!
Us making goofy faces!
I suck at it.
Our lovely smiles!
Mekong is a very popular and highly over-rated (according to Jiaxi) place.
It's quite good but there're better once!
I like it cos I was so hungry!
My pho beef noodle.
What the hell should I go with that stalk of plant?! haha! Eat it?!
This is Shuling's bowl. With leftover noodle.
This is Sam's bow. With leftover soup.
MY BOWL! WITH NOTHING!!!!!!! HAHA!
Shopping at Bridge Road.
My first western meal in Melb. Fish and chips!
MY FAVOURITE PLACE IN THE CITY!!!
CASINO!!!!!!! Crown casino is at the back.
My winnings!!!!! It's a very small sum. But still!!!!
Outside the state library, again!
My lunch (subway seafood sensational) outside the library!
Lots of seagulls! Weird. When there isn't any beach around.
My favourite cafe, cafe giraffe!
The layout is messy, yet cool!
The furnitures are all different.
We spent almost 4 hrs there!
What did we do? haha!
I wrote my diary!
Read an interesting book on prostitution in Singapore, by Gerrie Lim ( i think).
Look at the shelf! So much to do!!!
We played chinese checkers! I suck at it. haha!
Uno game!!!! That stupid never ending game. haha!
I think it's called aeroplane chess. We've no idea how to play it.
The instructions were all in Chinese! Too lazy to read.
We had hotpot for dinner!!!
Meisze (Shuling's housemate) and shuling had damn small stomach. haha!!!
I ate like a glutton!!!
Skip to the 2nd last day in Melbourne.
Shuling brought us to a Yum cha place! (Gold leaf)
She asked a couple of her friends along too!
They're pretty nice and friendly!
Sam and i again!
That night, we met Hui jia for our last dinner in Melbourne.
San churro was the dessert after our dinner at Hungry Jacks.
Looks really good!
But my throat was quite sore.
So I didn't enjoy as much.
The 4 of us! Such a pity JiaXi couldn't join us.
At the airport.
A very nice lady offered to take the picture for us!

Gotta mention another lady! Joy, the check-in counter lady was soooooooooooo nice! We went way too early for check-in. But she allowed us to wait behind the counter. And when it's time to check-in, we're the first! Everything went very smoothly! No overweight luggage!
Sam and her hot chocolate.
She treated me to mocha!!!! Appreciate so much!
Our plane ride to Darwin.
Very comfortable cos there wasn't any one beside me!

Our diaries! We write like mad!!!!
Sam's diary and her pretty lavender!
Our very last meal at Darwin airport.
Red rooster!!! Delicious!!! But a bit too rushing.

Okay! That's it for the city entry! MORE MORE MORE to come!!!
