080321 Good Friday
Hey guys. I'm on easter break now. Here, they celebrate easter and my school gave us a nice one week holidays... How nice, if only they didn't pile us with ample amount of work as well.. [sigh] Anyway, decided not to stay in for the weekends if I could..
Holidays started on Thursday but seeing that I don't have class on Thursday, it didn't make much of a difference. [shrugs] (Oh, this shot was taken in Melbourne Central, outside the cinema area. At first glance, the sofa looks hard but it's nice and comfortable to sit on them.)
Didn't really plan on anything to do on friday. So when Su Jin asked me to come over to her place to smash some easter eggs she had, I thought why not. (A familiar sight that I would probably miss when I go back)
Waiting for the train can be quite boring... A lot of people here own Ipods. I just stare around the place or hum a silly tune until the train comes (I think this graffiti's interesting. I wonder if Jonz would like it...)
So from Glenferrie, I stopped at Flinder Street and have to walk to Elizabeth Street. Normally it's just across the road... And then I see this road construction. I'm like err... now what? Note: Apparently road construction happens quite frequently here.
I just followed the detour path and it led me to my destination anyway. Cool~! And the moment I got the the tram stop, my tram just arrived. Sweet~!
It was nice to meet up with the gang again. (Nick)
We went out since they were hungry. I had already taken dinner. (Shin Yeu & Perng)
Walked to the nearest KFC in the slightly cold weather. Not used to it yet and it's only autumn... The horrors... (Kelvin, Su Jin & Lin)
(We took teddy out for a walk. Hehe~!)
After their supper, we watched a movie "The Mist". How horrific... I didn't know they has planned to watch it... I watched it anyway, knowing that it was a thriller-type movie. And yes, I screamed a few times and nearly cried because I was scared... Good thing it wasn't supernatural... If not, I think I won't be able to sleep.
I dislike the movie, although the concept of the movie was logical. The thing I dislike the most was the fact that it showed the ugly side of humans and had a unhappy ending. How depressing. Decided to stay overnight..

Woke up at 8am. Had already arranged with some of my group mates to visit the Melbourne Zoo. Arrived at Flinders at 10am... The gang came only about 10.40am. Took the train to Royal Park stop. The entrance fee was AUS17.30 and that is the student price... Normal adult price AUS20. But I did enjoy my trip there... Took lots of photos...
(Pretty Snow Leopard. Can I keep him?)
(The lemurs from the movie Madagascar... One was actually in a yoga pose. Had to reduce the exposure for you to be able to see it better)
(Look it's Winnie the Pooh... Oh no, my mistake, it's just a bear..)
(The mighty Lion... He looks bored...)
(Oh wait, THIS one is definately bored out of his wits...)
(Other than animals, there were a lot of families around.. Guess this is one of the places families go to...)
(Look, it's Timon from the Lion King. It's also known as a meerkat)
(Here's a fishing cat)
(This is really the best shot of a platypus that I got... I took this shot even before I went in to see the real one... I knew I can't get a good shot since it's dark inside and the platypus swims about really fast)
(Hey, we have this Golden Tamarin at Zoo Negara as well)
(This is the Little Penguins I talked about when I visited Phillip Island. Cute eh?)
(Female Baboon)
(Curiously enough, these are called Tree Kangaroos)
(This is NOT a rat.. It's a possum, a marsupial)
(The head man of the herd, Mr Gorilla)
(Peacock)
(This monkey looks wise. Must be the hairstyle...Hehe)
(A really colourful peasant)
(In the zoo was also a butterfly park. This one's much better than the one we have back home)
(Since most of you guys have already seen an elephant, I shall insert a photo of an elephant shrine instead. It was totally obvious that these elephants were from Thailand. There were some signs in Thai)
(This duck is known as a blue-billed duck. One guess why it's called that...Hahah)
(What's a trip to an Australian zoo without Kangaroos?)
(I think this Kangaroo's the coolest. Imagine the Kangaroo saying this, "Yo mate, What's Up?")
("Looking for the exit? That way dude..")
("Now go away. I'm lazing in the sun". And the best part was, it's all the same kangaroo. Fun to take photos of him)
(Here's a Kookabura, local Kingfisher. [starts humming "Kookabura sits on an old gum tree..." song] )
We spent about 5 hours walking around the zoo, I was busy taking photographs of course. Wished I had the SLR but I think I still did a good job with the camera I have. (This is the group I went with: Yoong Yoong, Jaslyn, Shawn, Pang, Louise and her bro, Wilson)
We went home after that... I was really tired. I would have slept the night away if my friend, Kah, didn't invite me to watch a movie. I picked "Horton Hears A Who" since I wanted to watch it and we totally enjoyed the movie~! I recommend everyone to watch it. It's a feel good movie and the best part, it's super funny~! Until next time then, Cheers~!
