Entry: An Update...! Go buy lottery! Apr 21, 2007



I've not been updating in awhile, not that anyone reads this blog but for those who do actually stop by and do actually care to read, here's a long overdue update from the land down under.

Lets see I've gone for 2, no, 3 trips so far. The first trip was to Phillip Island with Sam, Hudi, Grace and Judy. We departed for the island from Dandenong by bus. Paid pretty decent price for the bus ride, which was around $11 for a round trip. It was a 2 hour bus ride. We stayed in a place called Amaroo. We were given a cabin which fits 7 even though there were only 5 of us. We visited the wildlife park where we were allowed to feed kangaroos, wallabies and emus. The wallabies were really cute and small, the kangaroo on the other hand were huge. There was one incident where emus "chased" Sam and I... haha hilarious! We also visited the Penguin Parade and the Koala Sanctuary. The Koala Sanctuary was disappointing though, there were only a handful of koalas and they were all asleep.

The second trip was to Great Ocean Road with the Monash Exchange Club (MEX). It was also a 2 days 1 night trip. Most part of the trip was spent travelling in the mini bus. The first spot we went was Port Campbell which is about 4 hours drive from Clayton. We had lunch there and visited the London Bridge (its not a real bridge) which actually collapsed a couple of years ago. The next stop was the famous 12 Appostles, which was another hour drive from Port Campbell. There wasnt 12, but infact only 9 or 8 of them left. The scenaries were beautiful though, with the sun, sea and cliffs as backdrops. We spent the night at Lornes where The MEX club's president, James, had 2 family holiday homes there. We had BBQ dinner n chilled out at the place. The next day, we visited Turquay which was the best place to surf in Melbourne, and it seems the best surfers go there.

The third trip was again to Phillip Island, but this time it was 10 of us: Phillip, Nelson, Kingsley, Jo-surf (who came to visit from Msia), Victor (whho came to visit from Sydney), Derrick (Hsemate), Shireen (hsemate), Alvin (Shireen's BF), and me. We didnt really go around the island, it was more like relaxing at the townhouse we rented and at the beach. We even had BBQ by the beach which wasnt really a success. We started our BBQ at 5pm and the sun set at 6pm, there wasnt lights at the BBQ area and we had to use lights from our handphones to see if the food were cooked. Later that night, we had drinks and games. There was even an incident which was just funny and disgusting... haha (sorry only ppl present would know). Oh a few of the guys even played strip "chor dai di"/Big 2. Nelson, Kingsley and Phillip were the victims who had to strip to there undies, and they played outdoors which was 8degrees it seems.

Okie.. thats all with my trips.. I need cash though I'm not deprived of it because of the trips, just that i need more to have more trips... No one's hiring me haiz, looks like I've to look for jobs in the city. Mid-term exams and assignments are up, need to get busy with studies.

Till my next update, catch ya later, Cheers!
