Melbourne!

Melbourne. I've heard so much about this city. I really enjoyed myself during my 4 days here. First day was to the Philips Island. Here, we see many of Australia's famous wildlife. That's the Wallabies in the picture below. Looks like another breed of kangeroos. Btw, my tour guide said that the term 'kangeroo' is originated from the tribal language. And it means something crude actually. hahaa!


Frau Chen and i at the Churchhill


Look at this happy animal. It's smiling to itself. IS it a sheep or goat? haha i realise i'm quite bad at animal names..

This cow's only 2 weeks old. But it's blind.

A very cute sheep. It's wool feel like my comfy blanket at home :S

Nice pastel colours

Animals spotted along the journey



Sun and the swamp (low tide)

Spot the LAZY koalas. They sleep 20 hours a day! lucky them. And the only 4 hours when they're awake. they eat and do their business like us. Great food, great life and they're a national treasure as well. argh! Watch how this koala eats likes a king, with no apologies.


The reason why i want a DSLR cam is because, all my koalas look like lumps on the tree. I believe a better cam do wonders.. oh well.

This close up pic of the koala was really the best shot of a koala in it's 4 hours of daily activity when it's awake!

Beautiful blend of tree leaves colours.

This is a shopping street. Around some corner are those LV, Gucci shops.

The St Paul Cathedral just diagonally across Flinders station.


That's Flinders Station

The Aquarium

Morning tea along our way to sit the puffing billy steam train. The scones were yummy!

A bird park. With super friendly birds that flock towards you the moment you hold bird seeds out.

Has the bird been starving for days??

Before setting off on a steam train!

It was a sunny day.



Night shots in front of the aquarium!

I don't know what we were trying to convey too..

The night at Melbourne airport. some shots of us and the uncomfortable chairs.




m for melbourne!

Eureka building! The place to get the 360 degrees view of melbourne

This shot reminds me of the word 'peaceful'.


A helicopter view of the 12 apostles!




2 of the 8 remaining Apostles

Animals again! Isn't it so funny how singapore tries to put up cardboard made cows whereas there're just abundance of cows, goats here among the fields in Australia.

look at the splitted waves in a row.










See the sea-horse shaped rock?



Beautifully created.




The rocks looks just so magnificent against the sunlight.


The world is really small. I met Khung Xing- my secondary school friend there!
