Went to Victoria market with Yen Nee to shop for gifts.. Popular items are like chocolates and nouguts that can be found in sg otherwise are those koala n wombat soft toys.. haiz.. shop for like 3 hours and am still empty handed.. den headed for city to look for the 2 apartments that Yen Nee has found in the internet.. and went to watch dvd and stayed over at her place..

2nd Quarter of Mid-Term Break
Have our weekly dinner on Friday at duno what restaurant den went to Charlston for pool session.. think the last time i have touched a pool table is the one in IBM with elyn, monica and mabel.. lol.. this Charlston is really kind of run-down man.. den so many many smokers inside *choke choke* and the table is like hmm.. old and lok kok.. and it's like 16 bucks for an hour.. so damn XX.. budden heard that they do not have much places with pool table so have to just bear with it.. zz..
As usual, went to Victoria market yesterday to stock up some food and grocery, realise that i haven been cooking for the whole week.. have been either eating out or skipping meals for the pass few days.. Intended to go to the Nike Factory Outlet at Smith Street initially budden while in the market Yen Nee has got migraine so we went home instead.. Den at about 6, went to meet Marsudi (Secondary school Fren)for dinner.. took a train to Glenferrie (first time taking train sia) to have meal at this Samurai Japanese Restaurant.. the food is nice and cheap oso.. lol.. kind of like that place.. den on the way back, we stopped at Flinders station and walk at the way back home.. on the way he bring me around the whole city to tell me where all the nice food are.. lol.. very informative.. hope i still remember where are they~.. lol
Sunday, Weather of the day ==>> A severe weather warning for locally damaging winds is current. A few showers with local hail and strong west to southwesterly wind. Snow
flurries possible on the nearby hills.
Despite the weather warning, still decide to go do some exploring before the school starts, after which guess we wouldn't have the mood or time to do so till after exams ba.. so early in the morning we went to See Yup temple to pray (the temple that was close on Wednesday). Don't actually know what's the procedure and stuffs so just agar agar.. den shun bian qiu2 qian1.. got an average range and it is interpreted as 'a dragon in the water waiting for the right time to rise to heaven', in other words.. it means to be patient and wait for my oppurtunity.. something like that I suppose..
See Yup Temple
Then we proceed to St Kilda for the sunday market. But duno why there's no stores around.. think the weather is just too bad to set up stores.. so suay.. so we headed for Luna Park, an amusement park in St Kilda.. nth much there budden it's so freaking windy and cold that we have to seek shelter at the 'arcade'..landed up playing with those lame machines where we put coins and try to catch something out of it.. all of us failed though..lol~

When the rain stop, tried walking to the jetty.. and again the 'Damaging' wind is giving us a hard time.. spent so much effort to walk towards the end of the jetty and the waves is so strong that the sea water actually splashes sea water up to the jetty.. kind of risky to walk at that kind of situation.. might just fall into the sea anytime..

What a Signboard~
Since we bought the Sunday Saver ticket, took tram to South Yarra to have a look as well.. budden by the time we reach, it's already 5+ coming 6.. all the shops also close liao.. so only went there to have cake and coffee and to avoid the cold outside as well..
Cake + Coffee @ Aud5.90
Luckily Steven is free to guide us today den we are able to explore so many new places.. given the *blurness* of Yen Nee and me, think we are only able to make it to the temple and that's all.. lol..
Fun time always passes very quickly and it's MONDAY again tomorrow.. haiz.. gonna get back Marketing assignment 1 tomoro, duno how much can my group score.. *praying hard*.. den also gotta start my HR assignment liao.. another 2,500 words.. sob sob~

1st Quarter of the Mid-Term Break
Aww.. Time passes so quickly.. it's already half way thru the first week of holiday.. for the pass 3 days have gone to the sch computer lab to do my OB assignment.. though it is like 50% completed but something seems to be very wrong with it.. duno y~.. haiz..
Usually will hang out at the school lab till about 3+ den will either go home or find activity after that. As for Monday, only went for aikido training.. then go home n rot liaoz.
Yesterday lei, went Crown Casino again.. Finally get to eat the Sante buffet (after 3 attempts).. lol.. Surprisingly, we only paid like 13.50 bucks instead of the 16.80 as written on the board.. keke.. that's our gain.. food range not realli alot and not exactly extremely nice la.. but given the kind of food that we cook ourselves daily... today's meal considered assumptious liao.. unfortunately it was raining, otherwise could have gone outdoor to look at 'fire' (duno wat isit called) that are up hourly.. there are 7 of them but only managed to view 1 of it from the restaurant.. was so full and bloated though..
Heard from Steven that he is going to temple today, so Yen Nee and I decided to join him to have a look.. keke.. kind of surprise to hear that there is temple in Mel man.. so at about 3+ after the assignment meeting, Steven drove us to search for the temple.. headed for South Melbourne and realised that it's actually quite near to Albert Park.. lol.. budden by the time we reach, already close liao.. The temple don't actually look like the temple we used to c in sg.. looks like a church without the cross and with chinese wordings.. hmm.. ang mo style of temple..so instead, went to Monash University (cauldfield) to c c look look.. den went to have dinner and ice cream..
And that's all that has happen for the pass 3 days~

Woo~ We've made our way to Albert Park
Yen Nee & I headed for Albert's Park today..hee..This is the first time the 2 of us are taking tram without Chee Ming & Alex, they are too busy doing their last minute shopping for tomoro's I-Ball (luckily we're not going).. lol.. We dun actually know our way around, even in the city.. Budden guess we shouldn't have a problem finding our way there la, cos it's a direct tram all the way to the end and we have equipped ourselves with map and guides!! We made it though..(cannot imagine if we have to call them and ask how to go back to the city..they would probably laugh their head off)
So exciting.. finally something different, challenging and interesting!! feel so good strolling and sat by the beach.. in the cooling weather, looking at the kids playing and families gathering n blah blah blah.. duno how to describe further also liao.. it's all in the pics =)

The trip back from Albert's Park is hmm... scary??.. lol.. from our understanding, we only need to validate once on sunday and we can use it for the whole day.. budden dun understand how come our ticket indicate that it's only valid till 2pm.. ???? .. so on the return trip, we asked the driver whether we have to validate the ticket again. It's only den we realise that the whole day thingy is for 'Sunday Saver' ticket and not for the '10x2hr' ticket that we r using.. haiz.. and of course, we are not willing to pay another time.. keke.. so we are praying hard that we dun meet any tram inspector, or else there goes 150 bucks!! *Jump Tram Mission - Successful*.. lol.. WE ARE SOOOOoooooo LUCKY~ =)
