of course! melbourne.. ahh, what can i say? it was AWESOME!
my first thought was, i could definitely get used to this life.. it's soooo like singapore, only less tense and stressful :) i love it! i'm such a city girl. haha..
but.. Adelaide has definitely grown on me, it holds a special place in my heart. i like the pace, the place, and the people! the 3Ps!!! so.. i'm not moving anytime soon. haha..
but melbourne is still nice to visit. hehe! and it was just too short! 3 nights, with little sleep, but so much fun!! and God has been gracious to grant us good weather! it was supposed to rain!!!! but it didn't :) pretty cold on the first 2 days, but perfect sunny weather on sunday.
thank You Jesus for good company, and absolutely fantastic hosts, esp wenhao, darren and chunpeng..
okie dokes, i'll let the pictures do the talking (click to enlarge). i'll save all the food pictures for the makanclub blog..

jimmy: yeah, paid the consequences of hypersomnia the nxt few days! hahaha :D but yes, it was still worth it :D
chuen: ish malas-nya :P eh u must tell abt the sunbus incident!! i can't make it funny..
philip: hey! long time no see, how're you? and your bro and your sis?
:(
I miss Melb oh-so-much. Awesome pics, and yeah Freddo's totally rocks... especially in the cold weather. You'd be surprised how many Asians can be found there, dressed like polar bears but happily sapu-ing their gelatis heheh. And they don't get all goopy so fast in the cold weather either! ^^
Did you all head to Papa Gino's/Coretto's/Universal? Best pizza/pasta/steak places respectively imo, and all three are on Lygon as well. :D
