happy easter everyone. loads of shops in melbourne were closed on good friday, but still because of the number of shops here,quite a number were still open in the city. ahha. so this easter weekend was dedicated to a bit of sightseeing and shopping, obviously. i dont know why, but i bought stuff for people rather than for myself on thursday night out. hmm.
this is chadstone, a huge shopping mecca near hughesdale station, tts about err, maybe 45 minutes out of the city by train. its really big, and i dont think suiyi and i finished walking the place.
but after buying stuff for people.. (you willknow when i get home), we went to [the pancake parlour] for dinner. ate until super full. tts me trying to pretend im glaring at the menu thinking of my order. sorry very lame.
oishii! looks good eh? ^^ tt was my dessert, for goodness. tts why i ate until i was about to burst. >_<
the next day.. finally, the real reason why i came to melbourne. like i said, i was not very impressed by RMIT university, and the moment i stepped down the tram outside the univeristy of melbourne, i felt good. below are some pictures of the place, loved it. it had the feeling of an old, established institution, and was really beautiful.
suiyi has pictures of me on her camera pretending im a student walking down the pathways, reading book on the stairs etc. ^^"
this beautiful building was the archaeology centre or something. nicee..
look! tts a classroom or lecture theatre door! suddenly feel like taking archaeology...
returning back to the city after that rewarding trip to unimelb, a sort of funfair was set up to celebrate the comedy festival, and suiyi and i got on tt ferris wheel. it was great to see the yarra river from the top, but it was freaking cold and windy. i love ferris wheels though, so i enjoyed myself. =)
and today.. went to richmond to do more factory outlet shopping.. - the number of factory outlets in melbourne itself is astounding. in case u are wondering, this is tom, my chef lego badge thingie i bought at the camberwell market last week. super cute lah! but i dropped his hat somewhere today, damn.
when we got down at richmond station, we were caught in the crowd of people on their way to watch an australian rules football match. they were all decked out in their team colours and everything; like tt kind of atmosphere a lot.
last picture of the day: look at the latte art! we were in this italian/middle eastern/i dont know what cuisine cafe, and the barrista did this! i was really impressed - tt is really seriously scarily beautiful.
velda.
