27th of November
Headed off to Melbourne, Australia.The main purpose of this trip was to bring back my things which I left a year ago..
28th of November
Arrived Melbourne! It was summer there. Took a taxi to Karen's new house in Boxhill. Melbourne didn't seem to change much. I met Karen finally!!! Gave her a big bear hug:)
Met Auntie Soo and Richard as well. Had our lunch in Boxhill Centro. Thanks Auntie Soo for the lunch!
Helped Karen to move her stuffs and then we went back to Mount Waverley. Was glad to see Maureen (my ex-landlady).
Justin came over to our place in the afternoon. Had a good chat with him until dinner time. It was a shame he couldn't join us for dinner :(
Had our dinner in a Szechuan restaurant, Glen Waverley. Was my first time trying Szechuan food..love it!
Szechuan dish.. "squirrel fish"
29th of November
Off to Melbourne Central..carried out my first shopping mission..lol.. My mission was unsucessful..only managed to buy a dress :( but I did bump into someone I know (you know who you are..lol...small world!)
Had my dinner with Karen, Richard and Karen's cousin. We had Korean barbecue!! yummy!! I tasted ox tongue..for the first time in my life! It didn't taste bad..but I would say it had a unique taste :P

30th November
Richard drove us (me, Karen,Roy and Emily) to Mount Dandenong. On our way to the mountain,we stopped by at Ferntree Gully (hope I get the name correct) to feed the birds. I didn't really get to feed the bird because... 1) was scared of getting hurt by the bird's beak 2)was busy taking pictures :P
us..feeding the bird
Reached the mountain in the afternoon. Had our lunch in Miss Maple's restaurant! Once again we were overfed :D
nice food at Miss Maple's restaurant

After lunch, Richard dropped us off at Eastland shopping center. Fell in love with this place immediately ;) I was busy trying on new clothes from one shop to another..while Karen was busy looking for furnitures.
trying on a hat...lol
Left Eastland "reluctantly" :( It's a shopping heaven! You can find lots of nice stuff for reasonable price!)
At night, went out with David (one of my Aussie friends). In the car, I kept asking him where were we heading to. He refused to give me an exact answer (trying to keep me in suspense huh? :P ) Finally, we reached the "secretive" place-Knox City (thought he was going to drive me to sydney or perth..lol..) We had a few drinks in a bar. Went home late..feeling sleepy but happy!
our drinks...

A day well spent ;)
1st of December
Met my friend Martin in the city. Was one and half hours late (a big apology to him) Had our lunch in a shanghai restaurant. I was amazed by his "ability" to tolerate spicy food.... :P We walked around the city after lunch.

We were having ice-cream at IL Freddo...and you thought the story would end here..of course not!! One hour later...we were having our dinner in a Greek restaurant.Can you believe it?We were seriously out of our mind!!!

We left the city with a full stomach.. feeling guilty :(
