Victoria Market

This is the spotlight of the city, You can get everything form

  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Seafood
  • Chicken
  • Fruits
  • Vegetable
  • Clothes
  • Socks
  • Shoes
  • Bags
  • Souvenirs
  • Cooked food
  • and many many more

But the secret about this place is walk around and compare prices as the deeper you go the cheaper it is. It reminds me a lot of Petaling Street.

If you come to Melbourne, this is one of the must visit spots. And guess what I live opposite it.
HAhahahahaHAHHAhaha

Guess What this is

My Journey to IKEA

Today I woke up at 10 to go to Richmond AOG to meet my sis. I had to board this tram,


I was meeting her so that we can go to IKEA together. After service we decided to go down Victoria street to this Vietnamese place for lunch.


And to our surprise the whole street was closed as they were celebrating the LUNAR NEW YEAR. it was cool. I have this weird sandwich for lunch but it tasted awesome.

Then due to the road closure all trams were stopped and replaced by buses, the bus was paked like a sardine can. then we arrived at IKEA and did some shopping

On the way home we saw the sign board saying "20 minuet hand wash for 14.90"
It was the most expensive place to wash your hands. haha (It is actually a Car wash using their hands)


Now I am headed off to churc to attend service, will update more later

Cheers

Today's A B-E-A-U-tiful day

After a hot day yesterday, the weather today was splendid, hitting 29 degrees the cool wind brushed against your face when you walk.

Today I woke up at 1 pm(I know it is kind of late but I slept at 3 am) the i walked to Victoria Market to buy some fruits, for 5$ I got 4 pears, 4 peaches, 5 apples and 6 banana's.
Isn't that great.

Then my sister called and ask me to meet her in the city so that we can do our grocery shopping, so we shopped till my hands nearly disconnected carrying the items.

But thank got I made it home in 1 peace.

At 8.10 pm i took this shot, See how beautiful and bright it is.

I am planning to go to bed early tonight as there is a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

I am going to IKEA to grab a few stuff.........

BBQ for Nonci's Farewell


Last night i went for a farewell party of my sister's friend who is leaving for Perth to study.

The food was awesome, Like the party at my place it was a potluck.
I made bbq pineapple dipped into chocolate sauce (Many ppl's favorite)

Anyway we had to take a 45 min bus ride there and back, on the way back the bus driver informed that his petrol was finishing and needed to be refilled or we will need to push the bus.

So he stopped us at this deserted place which look like a bus grave yard as there was no shops or ppl around. I was dark and scary.

Anyway he got a new bus and we continued our journey to flinder's where we will catch the tram back home.

My Melbourne Journey

My journey was a long and tiring one, It started in Malaysia when i was at KLIA 1st of all my luggage was overweight and the check in counter did not want to let me go through, so with the help of Samuel and Vincent I had to repack my luggage at the airport. (I forgot to put in my sport shoes) after that we went to McD's to grab a bite as I had not had lunch. Going down the escalator I turned around to say good bye to Samuel Chin, Jireh Ho, Sirn Loong, Vincent and Kevin.

After passing the Malaysia customs I headed to the Train to board my Plane......
The ride to Singapore where I was to take a transit plain lasted for 45 minutes.

Although I have gone to Singapore several times, This was my first time entering the Airport. And to my surprise I had a 20 min walk + Train ride to reach my check in counter at Terminal 1. As I was checking in the Singaporean custom could not accept my VISA as it was their first time checking in with an E-VISA. After several phone calls my access was granted.

The guy checking my passport looked at me several times then said "Remove your glasses please" then looked at me several times again, before handing me the passport he look at me again as though I did no own the passport.

Then I boarded my plane which will send me to Perth where I will transfer to a plane to Melbourne. The journey took 6 hours and who said Quantas had larger seats? It is just like Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines, But I must admit that the movies are clearer on Quantas.

After a long and tiring journey I arrived at the Perth International Airport at 2.10am local time. And Lo and Behold i had to take a 20 min Cab ride to the Domestic airport to transit to Melbourne, The cab cost me A$ 20 (MYR60) what the crap.

Then I boarded my plane at 6.10 local time to head to Melbourne and it was a small 737 where I had to sit next to a huge guy and that was he most uncomfortable 5 hours flight I ever had.

Then I arrived at Melbourne and headed straight to my sister's house where i slept until my sister come which was 6pm local time.
