Goodbye August

It’s time to bid goodbye to August once again and welcome September with a big smile.
I was suppose to be mad happy when September arrives because I’ll be flying back to the place which brought me so many pleasant memories, but that isn’t the case now.
Ben should be back at Melbourne long ago for his last semester but here he is, still by my side.
He’s deferring for a semester and wont be at Melbourne anytime soon, which is why I wont get to be there too.
I wont say I’m unhappy over this because for the moment we don’t have to suffer from long distance. (:
Trade off.

Well, since I’m not leaving this country called home I’m all out to search for a full time job.
Yes, finally. Aren’t you guys happy? (especially Dexter ;P) Haha.
Everyone has been asking me why haven’t I got a full time job yet and I gave them my reason that seems like an excuse.
Oh well.
But I’m all ready now. (:
Better give me a job before I get all lazy again, I’ve got it all planned.

See, sometimes this world is funny.
There’s a bunch of people who finishes their degree on time and then there’s another bunch of people who takes longer to finish their degree.
And for people who finished their degree on time without failing much subject, you get the pressure that you must get a job right after.
As for people who takes longer to finish resulted by failing in most subjects, they don’t quite get that pressure.
No one ever pressures them to get a job. Why? Because they’re still studying.
Heck. Just because people study hard and did not fail their subjects, they get that pressure.
Might as well take their own sweet time and study, pfft!

No, I don’t hate working. I just hate how things work sometimes.
Boo.
So, I sent out a few resumes in hope that I’ll be shortlisted. /fingers-cross
Even if I have to work hard, it doesn’t matter because financial crisis will no longer be my best friend.

Been dying for this day to come.
/prayssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

My one day road trip in Melbourne.

Yes, I do go to road trip too, I don’t just stay in the city.
But just one road trip for the entire three months if my memory did not fail me, it was way too cold for us to go on a road trip.

Ben rented a car and off we go to Mount Dandenong. (:
First stop was Puffing Billy. It’s a century old steam train that will bring us around the mountain allowing us to have a view at the scenic Dandenong ranges.
There’s a history to it but I cant quite remember it right now, haha.
The price is slightly expensive to me but I did had fun sitting on a steam train listening to the puff-puff sound that the train makes. (:


* Say hi to billy.


* Train stop.


* And the best part is of course we get to sit at the edge and put our legs outside!


* Like this! :D


* And stuck my head outside hoping that there aint any giant knife chopping my head away.


* ‘putt-putt’


* We didn’t go all the way, we just stop at the middle, get down and snapped some pictures.


* It’s really really cold.

Went for late lunch after saying bye to Billy at a place I cant remember.
I just remember seeing lots of cows when I was enjoying my meal. Or was it lots of sheep?
The restaurant is surrounded by beautiful trees.


* Lovely branches and dried leaves. Love it!

Leave the place and went uphill to enjoy the friggin cold breeze and beautiful view.
Boyf said I sure will like this and brought me to this Giant’s Chair.


* Trying to show how giant the chair is.


* I wonder how many times he sat on this Giant’s Chair, haha.


* If only my picture can tell you how cold it is at that very moment.


* This is a tree hole ….


* …for people like me to make a wish. ‘Dear tree hole, ………’


* Of all trees, why did I picked the one that look most pathetic?


* He’d been to all these places for a few times, yet he brought me there for me to enjoy my holiday. How nice of him (:

Since the boyf bought his i4, we’ve always been taking pictures with Instagram. Especially me because it can save me lotsa hassle from editing my pictures and I took all of ’em with his account.
He don’t really bother accepting requests or stuff like that, so three weeks back I took over and created my own account instead. muahaha!
Follow me if you wish, just look for ‘peggychow’. (:

Melbourne Museum, oh-so-interesting.

The word museum do not appeal to a lot of the people I know.
Whenever I am excitedly talking about museum or how badly I wish to go, I do get weird stares sometimes.
Like why?? Museum can be so interesting!
Well, maybe not the one in KL but I believe museums outside of the country is worth a visit.
Even the museum in Malacca thrills me. Have yet to visit Baba and Nyonya museum!!

I had much fun reading and learning and seeing all the stuffs in Melbourne museum.
We went twice on separate days because on the first day while half way enjoying the museum someone called and we need to go home instantly because that someone is coming over to fix the phone line.
Gawd, hate it like why cant they inform us earlier instead of calling and requesting us to go home of all sudden. PFFT!!

So we went back again after a week or two to continue the journey.
Lack of time still, there’s still parts which I have not explore yet. ):
Sigh. It really does take a lot of time to finish every part of the museum, there’s too many things for me to explore.
When I have the chance, I’ll definitely go back for the third time.


* museum day (:


* the use-to-be-tram, looking so cute and lovely. I’d love to take a ride to Richmond in that tram (:


* there’s all types of crystals, in so many different shapes, forms, and colours. never in my life saw such crystals before!


* and there’s even glow-in-the-dark crystal. how amazing.


* the museum not only showcase dinosaurs, but their poops and eggs as well.


* bugs, butterflies, spiders, bees, ants, and whatnot. there’s tons of them.


* real living bugs and their home.

There’s sections on human body and mind which Ben likes the most, and then there’s section on planets and earth which appears to be the most boring to me.
Exploring human minds are fun, I’m always somewhat drawn to that.
Funny how the part that I missed out exploring is the part that showcase things related to Australia.
What a waste.

After exploring we have a slow walk back to the city enjoying the autumn breeze.
Autumn is one of the four season I like the most. The sight of the fall leaves are just too beautiful for me to ignore.
My nickname for ICQ ten years ago was AutumnGal, hahahahahah.
And some of my friends still have the funniest email address ever, haha.


* strolling around the park.


* just look at the leaves. now i wonder, why didn’t I lay down on it once.

Visiting the museum worth every dollar I paid, it’s just 8 dollars.
And if you’re a student studying in Melbourne, or Oz it is absolutely free. Students are under concession.
Trust me, it’s fun. (:

p/s: my guest ‘blogger’ asked me to introduce him to the whole world that he’ll be guest blogging and i wonder when will that be.

I have 5 fingers for a reason.

I’m guess I’m just gonna share pictures and quotes I collected whenever I’m too lazy or busy to keep this blog going.
Am gonna do something healthy today, hopefully we wont be too late.
Set my alarm at 9.30 and I snooze it for a total of 2 hours. What a pig I can be.

Have a happy friday people (:
