day 8

DAY 8:
Woke up early but today overslept a little so mama came and woke us up. Was quite disappointed on this part about me but that's okay, because i was still much earlier than most of us.
Took the tour bus again and today we were on a half day tour.

First stop:
Brighton Beach. There some wooden houses lined up along the shores, all different designs and colors and stuff and we went down to take photos of the beach and the houses. Nothing much but the weather was rather sunny and it was hot as well. We fed seagulls too and took ten thousand step photos as well.








Second stop:
Mount Dandenong. Mini hiking up the William Ricketts Sanctuary, and return back to nature and embrace the really nice, crisp and cooling air of the earth and nature. The sculptures were so well carved and defined and they looked so real too omg, scary shit.
Then, we went down to Eden, a cafe along the mountain and told by the boss, the cafe is already 100plus years old omg. The food was so good & it was really one of the best meal we ever had here at melbourne.  The service was also really nice and the boss was also polite and mannered. He was also very patient with us and took note of all our requests. When paying the bill, we wanted to ask him to keep the change & and he insisted that it was too much and returned us the money. Such a sweetheart omg sigh. The boss also carried a wombat out to show it to us and allow us to take photo and enjoy some time with that little thing teehee :) Oh, and we took a photo with the boss too teehee













Third stop:
Puffing Billy. Australia's oldest steam train. The train station was so adorable and well-maintained despite the long history and the little train was so well-keep by the people there. The special thing about puffing billy was we sit on the railings instead on the chairs of the train. During phototaking, the train was shaking so much that we were afraid we will fall due to the super heavy height, but no omg. The train was traveling so well during the entire trip and our legs were just dangling outside of the train while we admire the scenery along the train ride :) We crossed a bridge and it was scary because it was literally empty spaces below and our legs were just in the air so i was really scared for a moment during the trip. During the ride, while enjoying the trees and everything along the ride, i realised i love this holiday so much & this is probably the best trip i ever had for the past 17 years
:')

















And with this, we concluded our half day tour :)

Before going out again, supermarket round 5 and we bought some last minute food and also i bought pasta that cannot be found in sg too. And we returned home and we rest for a while and evening time, we set off for dinner. On our way to dinner, we also went passed the graffti street and take photos. The last dinner we had was thai food, and yes it was so so good and delicious as well. Then, we went to take a walk along the melbourne river and also admire the night scenes. We also waited and watched for a fire show outside the crown plaza casino. Papa was so excited and he even went to stand in front of the pillar, wanting to take one cool shot with the fire but no bitch, he stood at the wrong pillar, a faulty one lmao and we completely missed the other pillars that were blowing fire aggressively smh. After that, we went into the casino and all the adults were so excited about entering and the remaining people just stay put, sitting on the stairs while waiting for the adults. While waiting for them, the decorations outside casino started playing and singing and all the really beautiful lightnings gave us a wonderful time while waiting for them :)





























And when they are finally out, we got a maxi cab home and we played our very last time together. We played the fire crackers and concluded the night with maggie and biding farewell to my second aunt and her family, including my baby cousin.



Tonight, is the last night here at melbourne. And the last night in the house and the last time on this bed now. So many reluctance and mixed feelings and will definitely 200% suffer from withdrawal syndrome.....
I don't want to go back to singapore, don't want to face reality, and don't want to do shit yet...
Okay, goodnight friends, will die from fatigue and sleepiness.
