where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

Sunday, October 10, 2004

After weeks of planning, I finally got my itinerary for the melbourne trip out. And many thanks to jess for putting us up. There're still lots of minute stuff to sort and iron out but here's the rough idea.

20nov :: Off to Melbourne
Depart SIN 0700h (local time) ::: Arriving MEL 1700h (melb time)
Find our way to jess' place. Dinner n thats all for the day.

21nov :: Mornington and Bellarine Peninsula

Mornington is a peninsula filled with quaint coastal towns. We'll be following a local tour.
"Escape to the Mornington Peninsula. Travel to the lovely coastal village of Queenscliff and join a ferry for the trip across to Sorrento to discover its beautiful beaches and limestone buildings. Visit Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm and pick your own strawberries to take home. Lose yourself in Ashcombe Maze, Australias largest traditional hedge maze, and enjoy a two course lunch. Take a tour through Nedlands Lavendar Farm, viewing spectacular garden displays and enjoying a cup of lavendar ice cream."
Sorry i just had to bold the ice-cream part though its not an attraction. haha angela's gonna scream.

22nov :: Grampians National Park

I for one, have not been to a national park in my life. We'll be going to the Jaws of Death rock formation and taking a walk to Mackenzie Falls to discover the spectacular series of waterfalls. Incredible views can be seen at Boroka Lookout and the Balconies and we'll view Victoria Valley from Rieds Lookout.

23nov :: Melbourne City

A day dedicated to the city and shopping. The pic above is Federation Square. Its weird architecture brought it fame, just think Esplanade.
Yup so its like a day out at mega Orchard Rd.

24nov :: The Great Ocean Road

We'll spend the whole day there.The great ocean road is one of best coastal drives around. The view is magnificent. That pic above is the famous 12 apostles, though my sis insists there are only 11. Afternoon wld be spent at the surf beach, Bells Beach. Then moving to Apollo Bay, doing the Otway Tree Top walk. We'll also try to see the legends of 'The Shipwreck Coast' at Port Campbell National Park, and tour the Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge.

25nov :: Life's a beach (morning)
A day out at the beach, which is a walking distance from jess' place. Can you just see a golden tan awaiting me? Im so looking forward to this day.
St Kilda / Fitzoy (late afternoon)

St Kilda and Fitzroy is just a stone's throw from jess' place. We can jus slack there in the afternoon.
"Away from the foreshore, you will find much of St Kildas activity concentrated in Fitzroy and Acland streets. Fitzroy Street is renowned for its cool cafes, restaurants and bars, with tables spilling onto the footpath, and is one of Melbournes most attractive eating and drinking streets. Nearby Acland Street is a bustling, vibrant street with an eclectic mix of restaurants, wine bars and continental cake shops. During the day the streets are lined with people drinking lattes; at night theyre buzzing with clubbers and night owls."
Seems a cool place to chill out till late.

26nov :: Free Day
An advise given to me by my sis is to keep a day free. Cos "there definitely be something you see there that you wanna do, but you didnt include in your itinerary", which is what this day is for.
Or just an excuse for more shopping.

27nov :: Last Day
Day spent packing up, trying to squeeze all the unlimited good buys into the limited luggage space. Jess will be leaving melb that day too. So we can all head for the airport together.
Depart MEL 1855h (melb time) ::: Arriving SIN 2345h (local time)

So there, jess, please tell me if you think the plan is realistic..or do-able.

nimgnoy let the night fall at 11:07 AM
