Been a tiring few days
Melbourne is hot. Very hot indeed. Tomorrow's forecasted to be 34 degrees. Yes THIRTY-FOUR!!
Today was 32degrees, and it was bad enough. I'm back home now with abit of a sunburn. Gallivanting about the city with LeeInn today..more on that later..
Tuesday took the chance to go Great Ocean Rd and unfortunately was sitting at the wrong side (right) of the bus when the ocean was to our left. Sigh missed out on alotttt of views. It was a pretty rushed affair, where we had multiple stops eg Apollo Bay, Loch Ard Gorge etc. Views were certainly pretty, but didn't take that many pics. I suppose there's only so many pics one can take of rock formations. All the time it was from a distance. And the sun oh the sweltering sun! Can really feel the heat piercing thru my skin, came back with really flushed skin..aduh..summer in Melb isn't so fun..
A special memory from that trip - Apollo Bay. The mountains are right next to the sea! Looked alittle unreal for me as I'd never seen anything like that. For lunch we ended up having gelati (oooh whisky and rumraisin) at the beach.. =)
Then yesterday, my dear MinHui had her 21st! (Shall wish you only on the real day ya)..Anyways I had the pleasure of sharing a night out with some great people (MinHui-of course, LeeInn,Yan (?), Mel, GaikChee, Kenny, Bryan, Tim,Nicholas and Alan (?)), at Riva in St Kilda. It isn't near the pier, more to the marina side where the yachts are docked i think.
View from the deck was gorgeous, with a stunning sunset yesterday. Unfortunately we were dining inside =) But thats not to detract from a lovely night out in good company. The place was jam packed with patrons and according to MH she made the reservation weeks in advance, and thats for a weeknight! We also had glimpses of a VERY cozy-looking lounge with a nice fireplace on the grd floor on our way up. Food was good and service was great. Would be a nice place to go next year sometimes..
I'm now pretty much sleep-deprived. Yesterday when we got back to her place, it was already 12.30ish and by the time I dozed off it was 2 plus. Had a coupla hours sleep and then went for some nice coffee with LeeInn who's visiting from Adelaide. Spent my day with her, rather fulfilling, by strolling the Botanic Gardens (yes, again. Extremely sunny!) and just rayau-ing around..and tomorrow morning shall be waking up early again..for a good reason this time. Instead of cash outflow and more outflow, tomorrow will be finally an inflow =P
I'm working this weekend! Although its just 2 days, well something's better than nothing. Wish me luck!!
