Limpek + Ee Ling ( Part 3 )

- Day 2 -

Queen Victoria Market



Groceries, clothes, souvenirs etc.. ANYTHING are sold here. Groceries are relatively cheaper at noon-3pm on Saturdays ( and still fresh ) as they try to sell everything off before Sunday (normally leftovers). I love buying bananas here as sometimes it goes for 50 cents a kilo ~ especially when they've turned slightly darker.


These two again. Spicy salted chicken ribs (left) and Szechuan pork on rice ( right )


Rose Garden


Bourke st, on our way to Smith Street, where you find the branded sports wear, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, etc at factory outlet prices.

More to come!

Limpek + Ee Ling (Part 2)

I used the computer in Uni today, thats how I got all the pics uploaded. And they had Adobe Photoshop CS2 in it as well, so i tried some captions. Oh, the photos were really bad. I think I made some manual settings to the camera and didn't change it back.. Thats why the pics were so blur. It looked Awesome on the camera screen tho.. mana tau...


First stop, Docklands...

Ee Ling filled us in with her sense of humour throughout the trip, especially those 'potato falling down' kinda jokes if you remember~! *internal joke*


Supposed to be the next 'harbour view' of Australia, after Sydney. But some people says that the area is still a glut; overpriced and unpopular. That is why they reached out to Msians and Singaporeans for Investment in their properties. People speculate that the area should develop in 5 years.


This is the view from Crown Casino, facing Yarra River. And the person in the picture is ME~! YES, I was touring as well.

Another Picture together. It was so bright as the flames just 'burst out??' from the tiang?. haha. i'm lost for words. please correct this. its embarrassing! It only occurs every hour for about 2 minutes.



Look at these two pictures. Aww. they both have the same signature pose. They'll look so cute together. lolz. *please dun kill me*


Calm and collected me. Intersection of Flinders and Swanston. Opposite Federation Square.

Steps at Federation Square. Taken by Ee Ling.

Grin of the devil. He wanted it that way...

Using Colour filter on my Canon IXUS 860 while waiting to catch a tram back home. Freddo's was closed by 11pm that night so went back instead.



Thats the end of their first day. More coming on day 2~!

STAY TUNED.

Melbourne and Around - Limpek + Eeling (Part 1)

2nd July 08 -

2 friends from the neighbouring states, Limpek ( Canberra ,ACT ) and Ee Ling ( Adelaide, SA ) arrived here at my place. Me being me, I always liked to make full use of the tram tix I validate. So the night before, I planned routes around Melbourne CBD, including those that I have NEVER been before(outskirts), killing 3 birds with one stone! There was an issue, these two obviously didnt know each other since they were from different high schools and colleges. So how?


Dun care. More importantly I save money. muahhhaha.


Thank God for the world being so small! These two jokers were formerly Primary classmates in Puay Chai! All issues seized!! Woohoo..and then starts the tour..

To be continued...
