2nd day in Melbourne [ 17.02.2007 ] CNY eve in Melbourne

2day wake up in da morning, had my breakfast in da hotel dining area, seems not bad, I enjoyed it.

After that, when back 2 da room and doing nothing, wanted to walk around but I’hv no idea where to go. So ended up lie on bed and almost fall into sleep. Around quarter to eleven, Rachel sms me and said she is planning to go to da city with her fren and ask me whether wanted to join them. Sure, y not, since I got nth 2 do and no way 2 go, y not jz follow and walk around. Since there is a tour guide there.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We planned to meet at the Richmond station, so I need 2 get a train to there. How? Emmmm… I know South Yarra station is very near from the hotel, so I read again the train guideline and started 2 go. After that I called Ally the landlady that wanted to rent her master bedroom, she was not free but she promised to call back later.

Once I reach the station, Ally called me and say will arrange a time for me to look at the room, she asked me wat time convenient for me and I answered maybe tomorrow morning. She say will call me back to confirm the time cz she need to ask the student that living there. After that, the student that staying there called me. Her name was Evon. She said she is not free by 2molo morning and asked me whether I am free by today afternoon, I said I am not free cz I am going out now until night, she said she will goin 2 the city 2nite too. So I said I will call her when I am free to arrange the time again.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I Q-ing to buy da Metcard, 2 white gals asked me wats da direction to Chapel Street. Excuse me, do I look like a Aussie to u guys? Huh… Well, I told them jz walk straight until u see a traffic light, and there is Chapel Street. Easy rite? Yea, really easy and near to South Yarra station.

So, I chose a daily metcard for zone 1 and after that, I got into da station but I hv no idea which platform I need to go. I try to look for direction but I got no idea for it. So I decided to ask the guy who selling food at the station, he helped me to look at the board, then only I know there was a board that show the time and the station it is going. So, I learnt a new thing today.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After that, I reach Richmond. It was too early, Rachel hvn come. So I jz hang around at the station. After 3 quarter, finally I met her and she brought me to the Flinders station, she said her fren was waiting there. Finally met her fren and started our journey today.

1st, we crossed the Flinders Street and walk to Swanston Street, it is a famous street here, shops, restaurant, money changer is all around. Rachel’s fren Elaine decided to have our lunch 1st before we start everything. We went to a Vietnamese restaurant. Luckily there were some vegetation food there, so I ordered a rice paper roll that cost me $4, but the hot tea is FOC and you and refill it any time. Cool? Yea.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After our lunch, we walk to the China Town that is very very near to Swanston Street, it was not as CHINA as I thought. Jz normal aussie building wif Chinese shops. That’s all, not much things to see. But I saw many seafood restaurant there, many big crabs and lobsters in the aquarium that beside the window. Pity lil thing, its jz too packed for so many of them. Huh…. Doesn’t matter right? However they still goin to CLIMB to consumers table and let them eat. Sigh, too bad I cant do anything. God bless.

There were some performance in china town to celebrate this coming CNY, seems interesting? But due to the whether was to hot. We decided to leave after watching it awhile. We headed to the Victoria state library, it is the largest library in Victoria state.
It was a great visit there. Comfortable.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Next station was the St Paul’s Church, it was a beautiful church that look like those church in the movie or drama. Hehe… Then we stopped at the Melbourne visitors centre and got a map of city there, it was a nice place and its very helpful to those tourists, hope Msia will hv 1 of these centre soon.

So we planned to go Crown Plaza that beside Yarra river. Cz there is a casino inside the complex and we planned to go for a visit. There is plenty of CNY décor there, so nice ya? Hehe…. Interesting place, we had a great walk there and planned to come back for count down. We tried to get into the casino but cant cz both of my frens din bring passport and cart prove they are 18 above.

It is still too early for countdown so we went to the St. Kilda beach. It was soooooo hot until we cant tahan the beach and decided to go back hotel to refresh ourselves. Then only we come out for countdown.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Finally reach hotel and bathed myself, copied all those photos into my laptop cz there was no more space in my camera. After this, I met Rachel and Elaine at Flinders station. We wanted to go China Town but we need some dinner 1st, so we went to the Crown plaza to hv our dinner. It was very happening there, lotsa ppl were there to celebrate CNy although there are not Chinese.

We had our lonely reunion dinner all by ourselves and my dinner was a piece of pizza that cz me $5.70. Expensive rite? Jz a piece, but trust me, its enuff full for me, it is a big piece not like pizza hut in Msia.

It was not much time left after the dinner, so we planned to count down at the riverside of Crown plaza. Many booths were there and selling many Asian or can say is Chinese thingy. There was a stage there and some performances were held there, like lion dance, dragon dance, kung fu show etc. The climax was the lion dance as the ending of all the shows and with firecrackers. So disappointed cz at 1st we tot there will be some fireworks there. Who knows, only firecrackers. And it even haven’t reach 12am but every1 was going back. No countdown there. So… We countdown ourselves on the street and greeted each others.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After that, we back to hotel and hv a rest. We planned to meet by 2molo 11 morning and we are going to Victoria Market. Sweet dream.
