it took me quite a while to realize that i don't actually need to go and buy the adobe photoshop software for my mac... coz preview does it all for me! so woot to that but duhhhh to my stupidity and the length of time that it took me to come to that realization!
but alas, here are the long awaited photos from my melbourne trip last month with the chubs and rach and raph. =))
lucky us, we discovered max brenner's in melbourne central...
the game on convention was in melbourne @ fed square while we were there... made for some good poses! hahah. =p
chicken souvlaki... yummm. although, this place wasn't as good as what i hoped it would be. nothing seems to live up to greektown in toronto!
nardz, jas, me and trish in coles - right before the ice-cream debacle.
awesome mushroom steak burger on bridge road... =D
trish, geoff, nardz, daid, jas and me - with nardz and dave all geared up ready to pump the slopes! and the rest of us... ready to get our butts wet rolling down the slopes toboganning.
yarra river at night - so beautiful! now kudos to david for snapping this awesome shot!
raph, rach and i at the top of the rialto towers - a.k.a. melbourne 360...
raph and me...
jas, me, nardz and david up at melbourne 360.
hahah. nardz... such a poser!
hahaha. scarryy superman escape. 0-100km/h in TWO SECONDS!!!
hahah. wild, wild, west log ride and my $3.50 poncho which i generously tried to donate to strangers after i had finished my ride... but then everyone ignored me... that was quite the embarassing moment... lol.
so after movieworld, we took the drive down to brisbane... wow such an action packed night. hahah. and all i can say is that after such a short visit, i really don't think i could ever live in queensland!! lol.
i love this jetty - it's just before anglesea and it goes out forever and ever. so gorgeous! i would've loved to fish here!
this is just a glimpse of what the whole of great ocean road was like! i mean, along the coast anyway - but gosh it was windy! both in the winding way, and the really strong wind way...
and last but not least - even though it did take us like 5 hours to get there - the twelve apostles did not disappoint. and i say that only in the regard that yes, the rocks were still there... i mean, yes it was gorgeous and now i can tick off one more wonder of the world - but oh my goodness. the winding roads? i'm not entirely sure that the car sickness is worth going through to go see it again. hahaha. but in this respect, once, is enough. =D
so there's just a glimpse of what my holiday was like! sure there were like arrests and stuff in between, and then there was dreamworld and movieworld... and the shopping.. oh the shopping. hahah. i ended up having to give trish like most of my clothes to take back for me. hahah. and she packed smart and light enough to fit like 5 of my jackets and a pair of heels. =p
but all in all, the trip was an awesome experience. i definitely think that i could live in melbourne. maybe not permanently, but maybe just for a couple of years. career-wise it seems to be pretty promising! haha. but yeah, i've done enough dreaming of the future for one week. you should see, i totally put together this study plan which maps out my life for the next 3 years. not even to mention doing my masters and then my phD... hahaha.. see big plans. big dreams. =p
okay, time for me to turn in.
night! =D
