Day 5 in Melbourne @ 9:21 PM
todae was viewed with sadness. for various reasons. they shall be slowly unveiled. i'll miss the countryside. to wake up in a city without the mountainside scenery and to step up to a multi-storey building instead of ground-floor inn doesnt sound pleasing to me... especially after hearing fr Mr. Soo that inns are betta den hotels in Aussie and Brian's tour to the Hotel enterprize webbie... dammit... nvm. today's trip to melbourne took 4hrs!!! coz we had to go to Braccus' marsh to visit an apple orchard, which is near Ballarat. damn sian. slept den woke up nothing to do. so in the end, geoff, yixuan and i shared sick jokes we've heard. Subra juz listened. i'll share 1 dat yixuan told us.
There was this mother, father and ah-boy who went to a nudist beach. the ah-boy saw a man wif a damn long manhood. so he asked his mother,"why does that man have such a long manhood?" the mother, hating man with long manhoods, said,"coz they are dumb."
den, the boy saw a woman wif big boobs. he asked his mum,"why does that woman have such big ones?" the mum, jealous of the woman, said,"coz she's stupid." later, he saw his dad toking to a woman and told his mum, "mum, dad's toking to a stupid woman and he's getting dumber and dumber!!!"
anyway, we reached the orchard and stayed for onli 30min for a short tok... WTH. i expected a tour around the orchard or picking apples. but nvm. Winnie's putting a lot of effort liao. another 2hrs ride to melbourne. first impresssion was not bad. melbourne looks damn cool! The Vodafone stadium's HUGE. i mean, HUGE. anywayz, drove past the new being built admin building for melbourne, looked to the left and saw Grand hotel (which realli is grand), and to the left... hotel enterprize. 3 star. looked ok... so unloaded my luggage and went in. lobby ok... courtyard ok. i took a deep breath, wished geoff gd luck and opened the door. wah mother toot! the aircon!!! the miniature beds! the confined space! the look damn old washroom! ARGH!!!!! sianz! shit! i miss Halls Gap!!! geoff and i nearly broke down... after dat i was real downcast. lunch was not bad, chinese fd... dalai (aaron) cracked jokes wif me... den Geoff and I being BB got suaned and sniggered at by the motherfucking rugger and the bastardy motherfucking judo ass. i was damn pissed. if not for the enjoyment of others for this trip and the fact that i'm trying to learn controlling my temper, i'd have down something drastic. i mean DRASTIC.
anyway, learnt that Wayne taking a break dis afternn coz he cant drive more den dunno how many hrs a wk. Harrison guy taking over. didnt feel gd for me either. but harrison turned out to be quite ok la. it was raining dammit. raining for the first time on my trip... totally depicts a downcast dae doesnt it? whole afternn travelled to some beach damn far away to have a lesson wif world-reknowed palentologists who have had a dinosaur named after dem. cool eh? den headed for San Remo for chinese dinner b4 heading down to Philip Island. long drive inside. learnt dere dat i cant take fotos during the parade. not even without flash. haiz... but the penguins were CUTE! the way they walked and such.... i even started copying them in their walking fashion. haha. saw one upclose on the boardwalk when it looked up at me. the pearly black innocent eyes and a slow gurgling purr... so mesmerizing!!! later, bought some souvenirs and took some fotos at the main exhibition centre. the ride back to melbourne was 2hrs so Harrison showed us the movie "u've got mail". veh nice show abt relationships! the climax was broken when the bus reached hotel enterprize. oh, did i mention that melbourne nite scene rox? beautiful blue neon lights sillhuoetting the city skyline... wah... it was veh cold dat nite so i emersed myself in hot water for a bath. felt juz too gd. den, geoff and i watched the Nelson Mendela 46664 concert while eating popcorn bought from the penguin parade. ok, i'm starting to get used to this room...
