12th July 2010

It was the finale for the 2010 FIFA world cup. As from the beginning I have already supported the GREAT Spain will win the world cup and they had finally made it through the final round with Netherlands. Woke up in the middle of the night watch the whole game with Adrian Lim.

It was a long game. As usual, final what. What you expect! And Spain were playing Fcuking hard to get the title. see-ing Iniesta puts Spain on top of the world make me wanna had my tears of joy dropping down.

All this while, I have been waking up middle of the night to see every of their match. Now that they had finally won it, it worth all my beauty sleep and my mentally and physically support to them, IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!

They deserves it.

Heartiest breakfast.

All packed and ready to go.

Good morning people.

Sunrise in Melbourne.

I wasnt aware when Leslie took over the 2nd driver place.

As I was sleeping in the car through the whole journey due to used up all my energy to support Spain the whole night.

garmin Nuvi Rocks.

Reached the petrol station at Port Campbell to filled up the car.

Stopped by at Room Six for our brunch.

Hot tea

10th july 2010

Woke up with healthy breakfast

Rushed all the way from Collin Street to federation Square. A street performer

ACMI in Federation square

as we signed up for a Melbourne by foot one day tour.

so meet up everybody at Federation Square. This is Dave Carswell, our tour guide.

big ass projection screen at Federation Square

He explained each and every inch of Melbourne Federation Square.

this remind me of  Hong Kong Star Avenue.

This is not a Paris Tower.

As you know this is called Melbourne by foot so our whole day tour was traveled the Melbourne city by our own foot.

Explaining right beside the Yarra River.

Very concentrating. Actually at that time when he explained I felt so dizzy as I had a very bad hang over after the 3 shots and one glass of  champaign the night before.

very western style design.

Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

Birrarung Marr’s Federation Bells, The awesome part of the tour.

The Ferris Wheel. This remind me of one of my bestie wanted to get her proposal in the wheel. haha

Is bigger than me.

*chik chak* It was so damn cold.

The railway crossings merging towards Flinders Street Station.

Batman Avenue. What a name why not superman avenue or ironman avenue?

reached the awesome ACDC lane. I wasn’t aware until Chris told me ACDC actually are an Australian rock band, formed in 1973. Their album Back in Black is 2nd highest-selling album in history, behind Thriller by Michael Jackson. AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1′s list of the “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock”. The most interesting part is their latest album was Iron man 2 soundtrack! No wonder ler they are so proud of ACDC and renaming of Corporation Lane to ACDC Lane as a tribute to the rock band.

The entire lane was actually street arts.

pay attention to what Dave wanted to tell us before we start admiring the arts.

*meow*

I actually like the western culture as they appreciate ART.
