Day 4 @ Cheltenham

City explore:

Took a train down to Flinders street station after lunch yesterday. Two shivering souls.

Started our own walk-about-city tour.

Found out that ...
1) city stuff are damn ex.

The same pair of nike shox the sweeties bought me cost ~A$220 (which is like S$60 more ex). Nike sports bra are priced amazingly at A$72.

Dinner was chinese. A$5.90 for rice/noodle, with two side dishes. Drinks: Freaking A$3 for green tea!!

2) my brother cannot read maps.

Me:"Should we cross the road?"

Bro:"I want to go to take a look at the State Library which this direction (opposite)...but we can cross the road and see if there's any thing to eat first."

Me:"Ok... ey, I want to take pictures at this building - further front. (cos got statues - anywhere got statues-must take pictures)"

5 minutes later.

Me:"Nin-nah-mah. This IS the State Library."

3) my heart rate accelerates and my hands turn cold whenever we play with money.

Bro changed A$100 at the Crown Casino last night, just playing Sic-Bo (which is Big-Small, or Dai-Sai). The way these people play ah... like money not money like that. A few hundred dollar chips like 5 cents to them.

We were losing... until bro 'whacked' A$50 on big.

managed to win A$15. =)

THIS MORNING:

woke up at 6am to accompany dad take newspapers and buy bread for the shop.

I felt like i walked out into a GIANT FREEZER.

Wangga pounced on me and kissed me today. Very strong dog. very very strong.
I wonder where dad gets his energy to control it.

The bakery is owned by this Vietnamese couple - very nice people. :)

Spent the rest of the morning reading the papers with a cuppa of hot cocoa and a good chat with dad and auntie rose.

It's the QUEEN's BIRTHDAY this coming monday and it's a public holiday!

Long weekend ahead!

Great Ocean Road tmr, (and maybe more of the Crown Casino)...
