St Kilda's Beach

haha... all of us (except army commander fengyi) woke up with sore feet and aching leg muscles... but tt din stop us from venturing out to St Kilda's Beach as planned! so we prepared some nice picnic food again, took a train n tram down to St Kilda's Beach! on sundays they haf this flea market for souveniers n stuff... spotted some really cool stuff like accessories, ornaments... but liling said Queen Victoria Market cheaper (really loudly in front of the store owner... hahaha!)... so i din get anything.

St Kilda's Beach
Super windy but still hot at about 31 degrees and scorching sun! main difference from S'pore beach is it's SOOOOO CLEAN!! wow... u hardly see a piece of rubbish or plastic bag on the soft sand! n it was super crowded coz everyone was taking e opportunity of the hot weather to get a tan or swim there. we mainly walked around, went to port melbourne (i think), took lotsa photos and watch ppl (correction... HUNKS.. haha!) play beach volleyball.

Sandstorm
earlier on, i commented abt how come it's so windy but the sand stays where it is and doesn't get into our eyes... ok i take it back. we were finishing up our delicious (we haf hidden cullinary talents among us man...haha!) packed lunch and as fengyi n i were drinking water, there was suddenly this gush of wind mixed with lotsa sand towards us... i took cover in time whereas fengyi's water ended up wif floating sand in it. wah... then the clouds turned really dark and the sandstorm got worse n we had to run indoors.

Rain Rain Go Away
looking at the gloomy clouds, we decided to leave St Kilda's Beach asap... n seek shelter at some shopping complex in e city. so we ran to a tram stop and boarded a tram to the city. lucky for us, we escaped the rain and got to Crown's complex which houses all the entertainment stuff in one BEEEG building. it has a huge multi-level casino (saw more chinese there than caucasians... hmm...), movie theatres, shopping mall, pubs, etc. Found cheap cheap fish n chips going at 2.80 per plate. haha... not much la but ok for a light n unhealthy dinner. (If u haven't already noticed, everything abt this trip must be cheap cheap!! budget control during meals to pay for our travelling expenses during the weekends)

Another day of K.O.ing b4 washing my clothes n reading up... slept at 10 plus while reading GI History Taking in Tally. sigh... gotto be more diligent once i start my posting proper...
