Day the exam ended
Went home to get prepped for dinner with LQ, Elliot was too busy to keep me company! Pfffshthhtt. Had dinner at Tomodachi @ Melb Central, it was expensive but mmmgoooood, and I wore my new dress from Hello Gorgeous- It is pretty amazing and I love it. I have been on a dress-acquisition mode, and I should have two more from Urban Outfitters if they, along with the US postal system, stop being twats. Damn Americunts!
We decided that IT WAS TOO EARLY TO GO HOME!- So we went to watch the only movie that was barely even worth spending 5 seconds at, which was Quantum of Solace *shudder* Daniel Craig is so ugly and the movie is so bad. It was still way too early to go back, so we went and had a drink at Cookie... I think it was Cookie, but IDK, it was too dark to tell. Had the most fucking potent Long Island Tea known to mankind, so potent that every drop was worth the $20 for that one stupid drink. Still too early to call it a day, so we went for supper at Chinatown while semi-tipsy AHHA so funny trying to walk down stairs.
Day 2 Post exams
LQ and I team up again to storm Chapel St.- Kekekeke. I had a dress I wanted to try at American Apparel before I ordered it online, and THANK GOD I went to try it on, because it looked crap on me. SO after traipsing around for a bit, when I also picked up some petrochemical free Paw Paw Ointment (that's papaya), which is some awesome shiz for use as lipbalm or on dry skin!
We decided to be random and go down to Glenferrie and walk around- Boring street, really. I prefer Bridge Rd or Chapel St, Smith St or Brunswick St even! Headed back to the city and etc.!
Day 3 Post exams
Again the story begins with LQ and I! Ahahaha. We're kind of partners in crime over here :P So this day we take the train down to Belgrave, which is an hour away, except Connex (the train system) sucks and the train bound for Belgrave suddenly turned into a train bound for Riversdale. WTF CONNEX??! I hate you. So we had to get off at a stop along the way and wait for the next train that actually is really, seriously, NO LIES AND DECEIT, going to Belgrave. So Belgrave is like a hour's ride away and is up on the Dandenong Ranges, which are sorta low mountain ranges where there are lots of cute little towns and shops and ... things. We met our friend Ani, and then hopped on the Puffing Billy, which is a steam train that goes around the Dandenongs and show off the superb views.
Puffing billlly!After about an hour of being stuck in a carriage with two small kids, we met up with De, who is armed with a camcorder. De first drove us to Grants, but LQ and I have already been there with her previously, so this is just to scare Ani with....
BIRDS. So many fucking birds omg. I hate birds. >_> These are parrots, so at least they look quite pretty (compared to seagulls and pigeons.. grr)
Ani and De with the BIRDS of DOOM!Did I mention that I hate birds? Seagulls in particular.
We drove up to Sassafras where the AWESOME tea shop is, and I bought some English Breakfast for Ade and some Darjeeling for myself :D, our next shop is the amazing pie shop in the town Olinda, called Pie in the Sky! Pie is so awesome. No pictures sry, too busy eating lolol.
After that, we went to the top of the mountains, to the lookout called Sky High!
If you click on the photo to enlarge, you can see some tall buildings on the left of the horizon- that is the Melbourne CBD :)
Some random garden at Sky High.

Some random garden at Sky High.We went on to visit the William Ricketts Sanctuary, where there are sculptures among the ferns and rocks and stuff. I didn't really like it because I was tired and cranky by then!
Arty Farty shot of a sculpture!

This went on until we could see the multiple storms moving in- yes you can actually see the storms move in from the bay, really fucking awesome. I have no pictures because I am a noob and left my camera in the car. Ani left us, and De took us to her place back in Cranbourne, where we sat around, talked and ate junk food while it rained outside. We caught the next train back to Melbs because it was an hour's ride away and the next train would be at 9... Which is.. No.
Day 4
Didn't do much, too pooped from yesterday- commuting and sitting in cars for long drives = SO TIRING!! Went out to the city to do a bit of shopping and called it a day, basically!
Day 5
Was the big day today for going to Geelong to visit Eliza! Elliot and I caught a regional train from Southern Cross station.
We were stuck in a cabin with this bunch of middle aged people whom Aussies will call 'bogans' or what SGreans will call kampong kias. They were sat apart and talking over the carriage to one another about boring shit that no one cares about. Lawl. And one lady had this awful fake Chanel bag.
Eliza and Craig picked us up from the station, and also this girl named Eve, who is backpacking in AU till next July- we went down to Queenscliff to take a ferry, and there happened to be a music fest and stalls up and stuff, and there was this awesome one-man band with a metal guitar! I bought one of his cds! Only 5 bucks! Cheep cheep!
Took the ferry to Sorrento, a kinda ATAS place....

Had fish and chips! Lol at Elliot. Siao angmoh :P
Ferried back to Queenscliff, drove back to Geelong, where we had some hot chocolate at Panache, which was really yummy! We then took the train back to Melbs cause we were all tired as.
Day 6
Nothing much today really, went out to have lunch with Elliot at his favourite place... Him and his claypot rice lol. Bugged by flies through the meal! :( I then dragged him to Southbank for the craft market! Really cool :D I like how Melbs has all these market thingies... Yet to go to the Camberwell market or the St Kilda one- They only happen on Sundays, and I don't have anymore Sundays until my return to SG... Oh well, Leave some places for next semesters, right? :D
