In Melbourne
Today is my second day in Melbourne. Ting dropped me at the Victoria Market before she went to work. I walked alone in the city for about 4 hours before she came to join me again for lunch. We went to this Vietnamese restaurant to eat lunch. Melbourne City is a very well-planned city whereby everything is just within the square. Even the worst direction learner could be able to walk in the city without getting lost. I reckon.
The weather today was not as cold as what I thought. I just wore simple jacket with a singlet. May be the cold time is not there yet!! pheww....After lunch, it was already 230pm and Ting had BBQ party at night and the invitation time was 400pm. So, we rushed back home when her friend who lend her the BBQ pit, was on her way to Ting's house.
The BBQ ended quite early, around 8pm. One of her friends came late and there were no more food left so they wanted to have supper. I tagged along with them. 3 pharmacists and 1 doctor...but they are quite funny and easy going. We went to a Nasi Kandar shop at Boxhill. No roti was served and the teh tarik was cold.
7th May, Monday. The third day in Melbourne.
Today I spent most of the time at home packing, resting and watching drama at home. Cos I'll be leaving for Perth Tomorrow. At night, we went out with ting's friend to have dinner at Lygon St. It's a street famous for its dotted Italian restaurants. But we ended up eating nasi lemak. haha...it's not too bad anyway. I like the sambal. After dinner coffee is a-must-custom here, I reckon. We went to Brunetti coffee house to have a cup of after dinner coffee. I had Italian hot chocolate which is a very thick and rich chocolate drink. It was quite surprising that I actually finished the whole glass.
We left the cafe at around 930 pm and reached home around 10pm. Left with less that 5 hours sleep after we cleaned ourselves. My flight is at 605am in the next morning and the airport is 45 minutes drive from our place. Madness...Really grateful to have a friend like Ting. Thank you so much to spend ur time with me...and sacrifice ur sleeping time.Labels: Aussie, Excursion
