Hols are HERE!
YAY!!! finally exams r over omg can't believe that it's over & manz tink I really need a longgg slp.. been out everyday since ~ whole day out + late nights + world cup
Tue: Last paper is Physio Prac early in the morning and my partner and I were in the 1st shift. Had massage, gait aid, posture analysis and conducted an interview with the examiner acting as the patient. Think everything turned out ok except that the examiner said that the crutches that I measured was too short but my partner said the height was fine?!? So think she’s going to seriously penalize me for it.
Shopping at Smith St in the afternoon. It’s the place where all the sports factory outlets are but didn't see anything nice; looking for a pair of nice sneakers :)
Wed: Bridge Rd - hahaz my fav shopping haunt but we only managed to cover the shops on 1 side of the rd! We’re always lamenting abt the shops in Melb closing around 5-6pm.. hmm missed late night shopping in Spore =p
Thur: played Tennis; visited Melb Museum which is the long glass building which was just beside my exam venue REB! Felt like a tourist again :P The area was so big that we didn't manage to cover everything on both wings. There were exhibits & specimens on dinosaurs, animals, insects, human anatomy, virtual reality & etc. which made me feel like I'm in a Science Centre instead! There's also an IMAX theatre (like the Omnimax theatre in Spore) and this forest with waterfall in the open area in the middle of the building which we didn't manage to cover also. Surprisingly, we didn't come across any on the history of Aus or think we subconsciously gave it a miss. =P
Fri: shopping at Windsvale; DFO [Direct Factory Outlet]; city
I'm finally shopping out of the city in the suburbs! Windsvale (not really sure of the name :P) is this really BIG shopping centre which we had accidentally come across by taking the bus in the wrong direction. It had practically everything - from shopping to supermkts to departmental stores & so on... e.g. Myers; K-mart; Coles; Safeway; Big W. We spent our morning shopping inside then decided it's time to go to DFO where the factory outlets for many famous brands are supposedly there! It's beside this runway of a small airport and was really situated entirely away from civilisation. The same thing again: they close at 6pm & didn’t manage to cover all shops! :(
Sat: back to shopping at Bridge Rd =P; baking oatmeal cookies in the middle of the nite till 3.30am!
Dawn wanted to bake cookies for her bro to bring back for her parents to show that she’s in fact capable of domestic work. Could only started borrowing the apartment in IH to use the oven when vong came back at only ~ 12.30am. She suddenly realized that she didn’t get butter! It’s so hilarious. We were practically knocking on doors and calling pple up in IH to borrow butter in the middle of the night. It almost came to the extent that we had to walk down to Coles which is like so damn far away. Fortunately, at the last minute, we found butter and almonds from an apartment. Need almond extract but could only make do with almonds and decided to pound them up and mix it with the dough so that hopefully there’s some taste. Baked several batches of cookies and at least they got better with every try; from soft & pancake-like cookies to hard round oatmeal cookies.
Sun: moved to this hse in Brunswick (a suburb somewhere further down from the city)
Arghz had so much trouble with this hse. We rented from Jason’s frens who were flying back home during hols. Niwae, problems keep coming up as we try to fix our internet connection and there’s no heater in the hse. Moreover, now is WINTER! For the past few nights, I remembered curling up and wrapping myself up snugly in my quilt, sleeping with my gloves, socks and 2 layers of clothes on. Couldn’t bear to move much around during my sleep though it’s a queen size bed. =P
Mon: Paintball!!! The ultimate fun though sustained several huge bruises. Phew! Got into a car accident on the way back. More details soon~
This 1st wk of hols while still living in IH till I moved out had been so busy and packed. The same goes for my 2nd wk of hols. Felt like I’m constantly on the move as Sook and I brought quilt and pillow to sleep for a few nights at Allen’s apartment to watch World Cup. The TV in the hse is soooo small and it’s in Jason’s room coz the living room is converted to a bedroom. We saw small cockroaches in the kitchen too. Heez think the kitchen’s not that clean so we only used it once to cook lunch and had been using Allen and Hao Ern’s kitchen. For the past few consecutive days, we had been grocery shopping and eating home-cooked meals :) shall post pics up soon. Moreover, I went back to Bridge Rd, Windsvale, DFO yesterday again. This time round, I did buy several stuff instead of window-shopping most of the time.

Wonder if I’m getting any real breaks from this hols with so many things ongoing and activities that we wanted to do. But looking forward to going Sydney next wk [finally! heez since didn’t manage to go during Easter break] and the farmstay at Amy’s place straight after!
p.s. Argentina lost :(
