Marshal's family especially his amazing kids, Victoria and Ethan! They were so adorable. Ethan


was rather cheeky!!

It was not a good day after all. The wind was quite strong that our tripod was actually

broken. Thank God that the camera was still in good condition...just with a lil

scratch...Dear's glasses was broken...so it was quite a sad day for him to start...but we

got everything in the end.

We bought a tripod few days later and a shades for both of us too!

Wanna know where we went after this??

9.45am - Queen Victoria Market

That place did not looked like a market to us..It was like a supermarket! So clean and

modern...no wet floor...no smelly fish and chicken...nothing like us in Malaysia.

We had our breakfast the Queen Victioa Market Foodcourt.

Breakfast at Cafe Verona...we had a cup of hot tea, one bread roll with ham and cheese

and one mini pizza with egg and bacon....good!!

9.45am - We then went to hunt for souvenirs....lotsa ppl in mind..family, friends, brothers,

sisters...whew

We found a stall...whereby we bought a lot of souvenirs such as pen, soft-toys and etc

as he offered a very good deal. We also bought a few T-shirts, fruits and nuts. I love

cherry and I can eat like nobody cares...and it was cheap!....feels like heaven whenever

I taste Wasington cherries!

We then take away Bratswurth as it was highly recommended by Marshal and Sophia.

It wa shuge and it was nice...just way too big for us...we were stuffed even though we

shared it! It really makes me wonder how on earth they can it this by self??

German Sausage, Bratswurth

12.30pm - Melbourne Planetarium

It was located quite far drom the city...We actually took a tram to Spotswood...and we

still have to walk about 15 minutes on foot to reach there.

Me on the big couch

I've committed a crime!!

5.30pm - Marshal took us to "Anaconda". They sold all the outdoor stuffs...hiking,

backpacking, swimming, fishing, camping...etc. The place was huge...but everthing they sold

were expensive...at least to us..when we have conversion to consider...

We call it a day =)

Day 6

9.30am - We followed Sophia to Knox City Shopping Mall.

We decided to spend a whole day there relaxing after few days of extensive "touring

around"!

At the Coles Supermarket

11.45am - Oppss...stomach was growling.... time for an early luch.

We went to the foodcourt and we ordered fish and chip, breadroll and some sushi.

(Guys just a word of advice....the sushi in Melbourne tasted B.A.D! Tasteless and not

fresh and expensive! First time we had tasted something bad ever since we'd landed!

Fish & Chip from Red Rooster

Purposely posed like this!!

my Veggie Bread Roll tasted bad

Oh no...never wanted to taste this again!!

5.45pm - While waiting for Bro Paul to pick us up for dinner at his place, dear need to replenish

his energy! =P

He had KFC (one piece of fried chicken and one mashed potato)

In case you guys are wondering what flavours they have over there, do not be

disappointed as the only have original flavour. No sauce as well...forget about chilli

sauce! Dear was complaining! Haha
