melbourne part TWO

as we have finished walking all around the city on the 2nd day, we decided to go to the suburbs. so bought the $6.80 daily ticket and off we went to Brighton beach.

reminds me of the poem "the road not taken" from high school

Brighton Bathing boxes
the whole stretch of colourful huts


a closer look at the nice huts, there are like more than 70 huts all together 
JUMP SHOTS!  you don't need a DSLR to capture these, just perfect timing
my canon digital camera(rm699, the lowest range) did it =D

I took this! so proud of myself hahaha!

had this toasted Turkish bread with ham and tasty cheese at the nearby cafe

went to St kilda after that...

Luna Park
it's theme park
we went in to have a look only, so it's FREE

there was a street in St Kilda which has quite a number of cake shops
i'm like "it looks so yummy!" but didn't try any cos we too "kiam siap" d


only had these. shared by 3, $2.50 each. i love latte art
Monarch Cakes

Mediacorp artistes, Christopher Lee and Cynthia had a filming session in that cafe before

Met up with fay's friends who are studying in Monash Uni.had dinner at a korean restaurant(so called famous among the students). so so. MadTongsan in Brisbane tastes much better, i think the one i had in Penang is better,so didn't bother to out up the pics.

the last day: took the free city circle tram to Docklands



had sushi rolls for lunch before taking the flight back.
you'll be able to see many sushi shops in every corner of melbourne
tonnes of pics on FB.
our one silly act in Melbourne: we left our hotel room key outside one night, forgotten to take it in. then as we were chatting at night, someone knocked on our door, we were so scared to open the door(my heart was pumping so FAST). the next morning, couldn't find the key. so i suddenly remembered "maybe yesterday the person was kind to remind us bout our key but we didn't open the door" went to the lobby, the key was with them! how KIND of that person. one good point of aussies. =)

BYE BYE MELBOURNE!
 this metropolitan city indeed offers alot of Asian cuisines but as i have said,we were too kiam siap to eat all those yummy food. imagine, if i were to come with my family, i will definitely spend a bomb on food with my dad who loves to eat!
