Continued from the previous post..
First Day[5 July]:
The moment I came out from the plane, IT HIT ME!! OMGosh, It was so freaking cold. Mainly because of the wind and the fact that its only 6+ in the morning[Melbourne Time, 2hrs faster than Singapore]. We took a BIG taxi cos we had too much luggage ^^ I promptly fell asleep cos I was exhausted. We arrived at our rented house to keep our BIGGER pieces of luggage in it, while we checked into a small hotel called "Medina" in St. Kilda.. I know what you're thinking ^^ 'Why they stay in hotel, never stay in their house. Waste Money' Hehe~~ Simple, We don't have beds or any furniture at all in the house so in the next two days we will be shopping for our furniture ^^
After we "deposited" the luggage, Collin[?] kindly brought us to collect our car[rented, again, for 6mths]. We then headed to Chadstone to buy a modem so we can use the internet ^^ Then we ate Ramen for lunch at "Wagamama" before going to set up a bank account ^^ MY FIRST ACCOUNT!!~~ Headed back to the hotel cos all of us, particularly me, were like zombies. I could have practically been hung upside down, yet I will still be able to sleep ^^ Ate at "Rangoli's"[Indian Restaurant] for dinner at 6+. It was already dark at 5 here in Melbourne cos its Winter now. The dinner was YUMMYLICIOUS!!~~ I'll post pictures soon after I transfer them in. Didn't do much after that ^^ Slept early cos we had a long day ahead tomorrow!!~~
Second Day:
Woke up finally at 9+ after getting cajoled and shouted at by my parents. We ate a HUGE breakfast at "2 Doors Down". There were eggs, bacons, hams, 2 BIG pieces of bread and sausages!! WOW~~ It will be easier to gain weight here ^^ We drove for half an hour to Nunawarding[??] to shop for furniture and our beds ^^ We managed to buy a cheap but good quality pillows and beds, at FortyWinks, cos almost everywhere in Melbourne are SALES SAlES SALES!!~~ Perfect time to shop. According to my Mummy, she says there will be Summer sales, Spring Sales and Autumn Sales!! OMGosh, YAY!!~~ We wandered up and down the streets until we saw it. IT WAS THE BIGGEST WAREHOUSE/SHOP I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I estimate it to be the size of 3 football fields ^^ It was filled with mini children playgrounds, swings, toilet bowls[haha~], lawn mowers, chainsaws[Arghhh] and alot more!!~~ But we bought like only a few pieces of stuff, haha~~
We also went to get our new uniforms for the new school ^^ My new uniform has never been seen in Singapore, I think its only been seen in magazines or TVs. Haha~~ I'll post a picture of it as soon as I try it on again ^^ AND I got a shock when my father paid the bill. The whole uniform costs SGD$1200!!~~ This is only the Winter Uniform!! I'll still have to buy another set for the next three seasons. WOW~~
We had a Japanese dinner at "Ichini". We ate some yakitoris and sashimi. It was FANTASTIC!!~~ As we were leaving, my father told us this restaurant originated from a small town in Japan called 'Taka Awey' while pointing at the sign 'Take Away' Haha!!~~ My sister almost believed him UNTIL I pointed out the mistake. Hehe!!~~ Now you guys now why I'm so 'LAME'!! ^^
Third Day:
Woke up at around 10+, we headed to our home to sign the 'papers' for our beds ^^ We then headed to Chadstone again to stock up on some items we might need in the house. I bought a throw, just in case I might get cold when I'm in the house. Daddy decided that he wanted to cook porridge to eat cos he misses it so we went to Coles[A Supermarket] to buy some groceries and buy some cleaning items for a major cleaning spree when we reached home :(
After we dropped off the groceries at home, Guess where we went?? IKEA!!~~ It carries most of the items the same as Singapore but they had more variety ^^ There was a CLEARANCE SALE so we bought practically a 'truckload' of stuff ^^ Tables, chairs, plates, bowls, cups and many more. We bought the cheapest for most of them because they are going to be thrown out 6mths later. ^^
Just finish eating my dinner[2 pieces of raisin bread + a bowl of egg porridge] and now blogging and watching "Pretty Woman". Melissa's washing the dishes today so its my turn tomorrow. Haha~~ That's all for the three days I've spent in Melbourne. ^^
Love Forever and Always,
Melanie
