Spot the small bird!
Den went to federation square for tour bus to arrive! Yes, we were so close to Australian Open (it's just 5 min walk away!!) but we couldnt even be bothered to watch on tv lah...
First stop- Churchill island~ we got to see wallabies, sheep, horses, piglets, chicks, flowers. There was a sheep shearing demo also! A pity I didn't bring camera the other time (much closer view!!!)
Horsey..
Wallaby! A smaller kind of kangaroo..
Sheep after being sheared..
2 horses! :p
Quack quack..
Haha! This kinda game to feed the animals..
2nd stop - Phillip Island koala conservation.. All of them just showed their backsides or either so high up on the tree.. The tour guide was sharing that koala 's lives are basically very lazy. After they eat leaves, they sleep, then maybe change tree and eat and sleep. The total time they take to change trees and etc is only 4 min a day! wahh super lazy lah...
One of the better shots!
3rd Stop- at the other end of PI! Super cold cos we are facing towards antarctica! And had dinner there..
4th and last stop- penguin parade itself. Our tour bus guide gave us a tip! To not sit at the concrete steps facing the sea cos it's not a parade literally, the so-called parade is real life de. He told us to stand along the pathways and it turned out that he was right! When the sunsets, the penguins head home and walks in groups. They'll walked across the beach heading towards the bushes, and den 1 or 2 penguins will stay put at a spot till the next batch arrives. Passing the baton luh.. The penguins we saw are the smallest kind, so cute and small! A pity we can't take pics cos it might blind them due to the flash. Stayed there till 10 and headed back to Melbourne! Wah reached Bell City at 1:20am and packed luggage till 4am :(

♥ Melbourne Day 6
Reached school surprisingly on time! Den heard from lecturer that future batch school fees are gonna increase due to the high AUD value now. And will not give textbooks alr! Suay or lucky sia.
And we are on the trip to some turbine places and I didn't bring jie's camera and my hp!! Suay.. really unlucky! It's a farm tour! Direct contact with cows, sheep, dogs, kangaroo! So wasted! :( the only camera I had was my diana mini ... Our lunch was sumptuous- lamb and chicken. A pity I couldn't finish them. Didn't head for the toilet as lecturer said it's only a 15 min drive. And I'm tahaning my 尿尿 again ( cos his 5 min walk from parkside inn turned out to be a 5 min drive, so his 15 min drive is gonna be at least 1 hour. DIE.)
"if you drink, then drive, you're a bloody idiot" - an advertisement on the way to next stop - victorian desalination project. How they used salt water to become fresh water.. The design and etc in detail.. Though I suddenly felt that s'pore having the plant to recycle water (newater) is more smart... Haha...
And then a visit to the wind turbines, tahan my 尿尿 until 4:30 cos of the super long queue and only 1 cubicle! :( not the main point! The wind turbines generate electricity - can't rmb how much megawatts though. Prolly check the website...:/ hoho. Ehh not necessary cos we are given the brochure! :)
Reached back sch ard 7:30, for once my tcher's prediction was right! He said 2.5 hrs journey, ok his 33.3% accurate.. Haha..
Den went back w the tram, zzz stopped 1 stop early, walk the extra mile :/
Oh well, nothing much happened after that.. Zzz...
Lol! Only souvenir I bought cos I didn't bring camera!
Au revoir!

Orientation and then tea break! Followed by 4 practical lessons. Zzz. At least the most interesting one is the last one - vibrations.
Then headed home with the tram. I'll probably rather stay in city area and travel for 1 hour up to school.. Haha! Sick lah, waste time. But oh wells, the place I'm living is really not here not there.. 1/2 hr ride to city and school..
Ate spaghetti for dinner and zzz on the bed!

Headed towards Northland Shopping Centre, which was closed by the time we reached (5:30pm) but the only encouragement was the internet service : $2 for 21 min! I mean I think it's better than having nothing..
Went to dapao food at Dow Sing - a Chinese restaurant. Passable lah not fantastic..
Weather was sunny but chilly if there's such thing... Hot but cold cos of the wind!!
Slept ard 12 or 1 plus cos it was very hot under the comforters.. Zzz irony in life!
Hoho! Cute!

♥ Exam paper 2
I flunk mechanics of solids and machines. Fluids on Friday, not gonna have any expectation. At most repeat whole term :( never felt so demoralised in my life before. Feels worse than doing Fluid Mechanics in Poly (duh, diploma and degree got lots of difference to me).
Note to self: please move on and live with no regrets!
