Melbourne Trip

I've been to a fantastic trip last week. It all started during 1st June 2009. Early morning flight which is around 0600. Now then i realized the airport in Malaysia are better. They don close down during night time and allow you to stay there overnight. I've to take taxi to the airport which cost me $16. I was very excited that I'm going to fly on a plane again since february 6. Then, I arrived at the Melbourne airport around 8 in the morning using Tiger Airways which landed on a isolated terminal where the conveyer are "open-air'. Then I met up with my cousin who'd just arrive 5 minutes earlier than I do. We head to the international arrival terminal and waited for about 2.5 hours. One more thing, it's damn scary the airport in Australia. There will be plane landed and departs at 5 minutes interval. After the arrival of my aunt, we headed to the Hotel. The taxi again cost me a bomb. It's $82, me and my cousin half each. After checked in, bath, then its time to have some fun. We walk around, ate at the high class restaurant which is the-Shark Fin Inn. Super expensive ar! After lunch, again, we go do some shopping, searching for Gucci, Prada, Lv shop but couldn't find it at first. Nevermind, there're still plenty of time. We went to Melbourne Aquarium. That's the place I saw the huge penguins! The entrance fee is killing lor. $35 pp. Of course includes other marine organism. We've our dinner at Spagheti House which is another super expensive restaurant! However, I like the strawberry desert which served with pancake and ice-cream. When its around 10, its time for the youngster. Mother and Child go to sleep ya ;) We went to Crown Casino. Its so classy and nice. I went there every night when I'm at Melbourne. I'm not gambling, just keep my cousin company and take a tour around. Its freaking Huge.

The Second day, we've to wake up very early just because we're the one to be picked up first for the tour to Philip Island. We went to many places like koala reserves, Old MacDonalds Farm etc. Today its the best. I met Fay from Sydney. She go for the trip alone, so pity. Actually my cousin initiate me to know her. Then we exchange email address, phones and address. It's really nice to meet her. 真的很有缘, cause we do share the same interest and we can talked non-stop for 3 hours. It's continuous. 很久没有遇到这么谈得来的朋友了. Finally around evening, I reached Philip Island, where we can actually see penguins but electronic devices are required to be switched off. The penguins here are the small ones. My niece love them very much, she learned the way they walked. How genius! She's just 2 years old. Again, Crown Casino from 11 till 4 in the morning.I do text Kim said I saw her. She was surprised, thought I'm somewhere near her. Actually I'm referring her as penguins.

The third day, its another shopping day. Early morning, we went to Collin Street, that's where all those shops are located after my cousin checked it using GPS. After I bought one of my stuff, we headed to David Jones, its clearance sale but I didn't get to buy any. However, my cousins are doing super shopping. I think she should have spend about $1000 that noon. Around evening, I have dinner with my friends who are my college mates last year. All of them came, I'm surprised cause that time they're having their exams on. It's really nice I get to meet with them. Oh shit, its 7pm dy, I've to rush back to the hotel and take a taxi to airport. It cost me $55. What a 'cheap' fare. I'm very touched when they sent me back to the hotel although I knew that they're really busy preparing for their exams. At the airport, looking at the plane, its nostalgic again. I've to depart from the happy living and back to Adelaide.

I'm not satisfied with it, I asked my cousin whether there's place for me to stay if I go to Perth, cause my relative next station is Perth. She text me, Ya! Immediately, jetstar.com, settled and fly Friday early morning again. Perth Here I come.
