This is going to be quite a long post.
So first up, Australia Day.
I spent Straya Day with the A Blockers. We decided to have a "feast" at Janet's. People who wanted to shop for ingredients met up at Woolies at 2. Everyone else met up at Janet's at 3. We headed to Janet's once we finished shopping. All the ingredients totalled to about $90 :O
When we arrived, we waited for the rest to come and then started cooking. The people who weren't cooking played cards. We played Mosquito, which is similar to snap but you count 2, 3, 4, etc. up to Ace while each person puts down a card and when a person says a number that corresponds to the card put down, we all snap it and last person gets the cards. Martie was being soooo retarded! She just kept on being the last to snap and when we were confused on who snapped last, she would just take the cards! LIKE WTH MARTIE?! BAHAHAHA Then we decided to play snap and Janet INSISTED that we make 2 piles and everyone was going WTF. We then gave in and started playing. Then we got all confused about how to win, if it was the most cards or least cards. It was soooo funny!
Entree was served. It was chicken and salad~ The caesar dressing was soooooo sour! But everything else was nice~ Then we had to clean up. The people who didn't cook cleaned. Jenny cleaned sooooo slowly LOL She was the cleaner and I rinsed and she took forever to wash a spoon and stuff HAHAHA Once everything was cleaned, we sat and rested. We started singing Aussie songs such as the National Anthem, I am Australian, Down Under, Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree and Home among the gum trees. LOL. Then the cooking people started cooking our main meal. We played cards again LOL Trying different variations of Mosquito. Like choosing the suits; spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts. Janet was being retarded and kept thinking diamonds even though it's another suit. LOL Our main meal was done, and it was a burger. It was yum! Then we had to clean again. Then we rested and talked and played more cards and watched Sherlock Holmes. Then it was dessert! We had ice cream with Tim Tam, gummi bears and blueberries. It was yum! Then we sorted out our money and I went home.
Next! Melbourne~
Day 1:
I woke up at 5 and got ready to head to Strathfield station. When we arrived we went on Platform 3, that headed to Melbourne and waited for the Countrylink train. We got on and didn't know that we had allocated seats. Sat in carriage F and when the ticket guy came to check, he told us we were in carriage D and we had to move. The trip lasted 12 hours D: Everything looks so similar that I didn't even know when we crossed the border. I assumed we crossed when the names of the towns were unfamiliar to me LOL The were heaps of cows and horses and stuff. It was boring. We arrived in Melbourne around 7, but the train wouldn't get on the platform because something was happening at the station. There were police everywhere and people who looked like the SWAT team xD Then a whole bunch of SWAT team police came onto our train and was walking all the way to the back. It took forever and finally we got onto the platform. When we got out, the loudspeaker was telling us to evacuate LOL We had to move out in a single file where we were then checked and asked by police if we saw anything and our names, address and number. I wonder what happened... I thought there could be a bomb or a terrorist on the train or something LOL When we got out of the station, we headed to our hotel to check in. Then we headed to Crown Casino. We were kind of lost inside the casino LOL We then found the food court and ate dinner. There was also a motorbike show outside that we watched. Then we headed home.
Day 2:
Woke up around 7 and we got ready to head out. We had a few hours to explore before our tour starts at 11:55. We went to the "George St" of Melbourne and looked around. Then we went to Federation square, took some pictures and waited for our tour. Out tour consisted of 3 parts. The cruise, the bus tour, and the tram dinner. The cruise lasted for 1 hour and to be honest, it wasn't that great. It was good when we were going, but coming back was boring because we've seen it all. It was like the "Darling Harbour" of Melbourne LOL After that, we went on the bus and toured around Melbourne before heading to Mt Dandenong. There wasn't many people on this tour. Like only 4 others. We made pitstops at different places and yea... After the bus tour, we were dropped off at the tram restaurant stop. We waited for our tram and went in. It was so... CLASSY. Velvet curtains and chairs and stuff. The waiter put the napkin on our lap for us LOL Offered us wine xD But we drank juice instead xD The entree was already on the table. We ate while the tram took us around Melbourne. Sometimes the tram would go backwards and I had to go backwards and I didn't like it :/ Then we were served our main meal. I chose beef while my brother chose chicken. Then it was dessert and I chose the mousse-like dessert. It was YUM! After the tram car dinner, we headed back to the hotel. We went to woolies to buy some water and THERE'S A WOWCOW INSIDE IT!! I was like wahhhhh?! Didn't get to try it though :(
Day 3:
Woke up at 6 to get ready for the tour. We were a bit late LOL Got on the bus and headed for the Great Ocean Road. The driver is so dangerous.... freaken speeding like no tmro. We went up some kind of hill and it was a wavy path and I thought we were gonna die LOL Looked at some scenery and all that... wasn't a great tour :/ regret booking it :/ After the tour was done, we asked to be dropped off at Eureka Tower. It has 88 floors and it's the tallest building in Melbourne. We went all the way to the top and looked at the view. Then we went to eat dinner. Then we went home and I booked a plane to take us home.
Day 4:
Woke up at 7. We had a few hours to kill before the taxi came to take us to the airport. We went to DFO to shop. I didn't buy that much stuff :/ To be honest, it wasn't that cheap. The prices are still kind of the same as normal stores. My brother bought lots of jeans and yea. After DFO we went to the Aquarium. My mum didn't want to go in, so she waited outside. The aquarium was cool LOL Looked at the fish and I think the best one was the jellyfish because it looked soooo cool. Then we headed back to the hotel and the taxi was waiting for us. Drove to the airport and yea. Boarded the plane and finally arrived in Sydney at 6.
No random pics today LOL Photos of my holiday are uploaded on facebook.
Peace yo~
