Left a lot photos taken last Nov decaying in my folder so since I’m free now imma blog about them.

Haha. So I actually finished my first semester last November and sister came to visit(sort of accompanying) me when I was sitting for my exams. As soon as my last paper was done, we explored around Melbourne. Well I actually slacked at home for a few days to recharge my battery. Otherwise I would be toooooo tired to go anywhere. #oldalready

It was a HOT(32°C) day. Hottest moment in my life, yes hotter than the typical 32°C in Malaysia and I don’t understand why. So hot I could feel the UV killing every single cells in my body wtf. It wasn’t even summer yet, I can’t imagine how the people here are going to stand the summer heat later 😮

Choo chooooooo! This place simply reminds me of a scene from those FBI movies, you know like those police chasing after some criminals on top of a train..or something like that lol.

Can see locals occupying the spots every where. Read newspapers, sun tan, picnic, volleyball, build sandcastles with their kids, dating, just couldn’t stop myself from observing the people around. Sitting not far from me was a group of old aunties. Could hear them gossiping about their colleagues from work lol.

The result of putting me in the middle of a beach, checking out good views. Just right infront of me here. Nice view. Nice one.

Chilling on the beach. If I didn’t remember wrongly, I applied like 3 layers of sunscreen because I heard Aus has the highest rate of people dying from skin cancer.

Then we had Nitro Lab icecreams. Got to choose between chocolate or raspberry syrup to fill into the syringe for extra boost of sauce in the icecream.

Also went to St Paul’s Cathedral. Yes, it was so majestic!!! Completely awestruck when I entered.

IMG_0273
Visiting place like this felt so therapeutic even when I’m not a Christian(or Catholic?). I was lucky enough that day because the choir group was having a singing practice in the cathedral! They had one of the most soothing and calming voices I had ever heard. It was SO angelic! 😮 😮

Actually I wasn’t allowed to take pictures inside. But….Im sorry it would be a waste if I didn’t lol

Christmas lighting event, literally projected the light on Melbourne Town Hall with music playing in the background. IT WAS SO COOL!!

IMG_0850
It was a free show and I could watch all I want until I was satisfied because the lighting projection kept repeating itself for a few hours.. and each show lasted for 10mins o_o

When I’m too lazy to eat out or cook healthy meal, I would opt for instant maggi mee. There’s a convenient Asian store right below my apartment, selling every possible snacks, cooking ingredients and instant food you can think of. My life saviour.

IMG_0299
Then every morning when I got out of my apartment, I would check if there was a Limo parked behind because each day the colour of the Limo would change! I saw a pink one that day. I think they were renting it out for a wedding event.
