Back in action

Its been a while since I last blog. I wonder how many weeks break i had from blogging. Oh well, here are some pics i took on the first day of my trip to Cairns with TK, Jean Imm and Mag after our exams. Cairns is at the north eastern corner of Aussie where the Great Barrier Reef is. By flight, it took a lil more than 3 hours from Melb. By car, maybe you'll take 2 years to arrive your destination. =D More pics of Cairns will be posted in the subsequent entries. We took so many pics, it will take decades for me to get them ready and posted. Meanwhile, enjoy the pics of our first day encounters.

... departing Melbourne ...

... the green pastures of Victoria ...

... we're getting higher ...

... i can't see the end ...

... yeah yeah yeah!!! i see the coast ...

... those must be the beaches that we visited ...

... i think that's Trinity beach ...

... does that look like a Bowman's capsule? ...

... after arrival and check-in to our hotel, we were on a hunt for food. the tour agent told us to go to Charlies for cheap but good seafood buffet. with the torches, i thought we had to eat Survivor style ...

... for 28bucks, you just cant get seafood buffets like this in Melbourne ...

... mussels. yum yum ...

... whoah!!! i'm hungry d ...

... Mag & her first serving. she ate 15 servings ...

... TK and Jean Imm had 20 and 17 servings respectively ...

... that's my plate of stuff for Round 1. i had 50 rounds? haha ...

... it feels damn good after a whole day of travelling ...

... these were our second rounds ...

... i know, they all look the same ...

... cos we ate the same food la!!! =P ...

... you just can't do without a good beer. That's XXXX Gold, Queensland's brew ...

... this was TK's serving no 15. he was getting more and more creative as he went ...

... I was trying to be creative too. haha. chips and fruits. what a combo ...

... next stop, casino ...

... its not like Melbourne's Crown but it was ok la... not too bad. at least you get to see upclose and personal how dealers shuffle their cards manually ...

 

That's it for now. will try to post more pics soon! Have a good day! For now, I need to have a good sleep! ZzZzZz ... tata!!!

post exam outing

2 weeks without posts and finally, I'm back and lovin it! Final paper was done on Friday evening and Saturday, I went out with whole bunch of crazy ppl. Yes, literally crazy ppl... haha. It was really a great time for everyone and I bet all of us realised how much we can laugh in a day. Fingers crossed, more of such happy days to come! As usual, cheq da pix! Its a super long entry. ENJOY!!!

... St. Kilda beach ...

... makes me think about Surfer's Paradise ...

... that place was infested with flies, in fact, the whole of Melbourne is filled with "stupid animals & insects (says Mai)". check out Hoang's jacket ...

... we decided to go sit down at some grassy area; poop-free-grass-lawn. and check out that lau apek, damn macho. haha ...

... oh so cool. guess what she was looking at? ...

... close up. she was so focused and attracted. i wont tell you what she was lookin at though. i shouldn't  =P ...

... then we sat down to eat the food celest and enoch brought for us cos someone didnt tell them not to bring any. haha. then of course, everyone was shy and there were leftovers. so someone suggested that we play 007 and the losers eat part of the leftovers. as seen above, Mai's enjoying her choc swiss roll ... 

... enoch eats so fast i'd say that i'm lucky to get this shot on cam ...

... then we played DUCK DUCK GOOSE. sounds weird la, but its actually the "i hide the hanky at yr back and you chase after me game la" ...

... whilst waitin to be GOOSED, CS poses. boh sui boh sui. haha ...

... two surfer dudes came over cos they saw us play DUCK DUCK GOOSE. gosh, haha. but they gave us free drinks and a frisbie and they gave Mai a sunspec holder. so unfair ...

... on a bridge ...

... da girls ...

... da girls can't jump la. really ...

... since when did Hoang become a girl? hmmmm ...

... whooo!!! the guys can jump. whooo!!! enoch's too tall, his head's gone. can you spot the BIG M frisbie? ...

... i believe i can fly... errr... jump i meant ...

... we adjourned to Albert Park for more action in the arvo ...

... the happy couple and a lamp post ...

... we played badminton cos we cant get a court for hockey. thank goodness, the girls were plotting to destroy our manhood ...

... Jacqui looks more like a ballerina with a racquet in hand ...

... vivian's a badminton champ in the making ...

... Mai's waiting for her shuttle ...

... after badminton, we went duck hunting. haha ...

... the ugly ducklings and the BLACK swan ...

... actually we went sampan rowing. girls on a boat and the remaining gays, i mean guys were dumped onto another boat ...

... rower CS and Enoch. i'm the big boss la, aberden. just sit there only. haha ...

... CS and Hoang. i enjoyed my time on the boat la. got "drivers" ...

... the girls on the other boat ...

... they drifted so far away from us. then they started to signal for rescue ...

... the speedboat uncle had to tow them to safe-zone ...

... the sky is so nice. makes me think about The Simpson's intro ...

... i love this place ...

... can spot the ducks? ...

... macho macho macho man ...

... postcard shot ...

... i think if i did what they did, i'll be in the water more than on the yatch ...

... another yatch shot ...

... i bet you guys will love this place too ...

... the red rescue boat gives the pic a lil excitement yea ...

... FF [fast forward]. CS found his twin but he's angmo. hmmm ...

~birra bella~

WOW! my entry for this week is practically food centred again. haha.. oh well. i know lotsa ppl come onto me blog and would definitely find it boring if i were to put something that's not of their interest. This is especially so when i have to prepare for exams and have no time to go clicking which hence means that there will not be any updates till maybe a week later or when i get bored of my notes. hence, i've resorted to my old school but practical trick. FOOD PICS !!! Well, we went out on a cheapskate outing on Melbourne Cup eve almost a week ago to get good food at cheapskate prices. They sell the best burgers i reckon. Dont believe me? go check it out yrself. 

Get a bucket mate, yr saliva will be overflowing !!!

... birra bella on lygon st ...

... mags and char [posers] ...

... a stiff smile ...

... they were bird spotting. one of them is this waiter whom i think is not attractive. well, individual views may differ. hehe ...

... then they started to fight about who's gonna get the guy ...

... i was so embarassed. who wouldn't be ? =P ...

... this shop sells burgers and beers only. this is what i ordered. errr... bella lygon if i'm not mistaken ...

... same barger, oops! burger from another angle ...

... this looks like bella avocado. can you spot the avacados? ...

... forgot this fella's name ...

... are you salivating yet? ...

... up close and personal. mcDonald's style ...

... asahi draught on tap ...

... asahi and artois. arghh. i feel like having a stubby now too. what would the world be without beers ...

... cocktails were going at $20 bucks for 4. and since its quite cheap cos you wont get cocktails at this price anywhere plus i havent had any cocktails for 21 years of my life, i gave it a fair go. this is some strawberry flavoured panadol taste-a-like drink ...

... can't remember its name. i think it was wow wow or bow wow or bow now or c cow cow or cow wow. cant remember ...

... its orange and dunno what la. nicest of all ...

... two glasses of dunno what. terrible. i still prefer beers and whisky ...

... acting cool and natural ...

... happy burger's day ...

.. she can't smile. mag certainly cant put on a natural smile. but this pic is pretty cool  ...

... she tried hiding her smile behind the cocktail or maybe she was trying to act cute. haha ...

... not cute anymore. kakaka ...

... ooomama. its my turn. yummy yummy yum yum ...

... i couldn't stuff that thingo into me mouth. its too big and dry and whatever. it can cut me lips and make my mouth as big as Aerosmith's frontman's (what's his name again?) mouth ...

... standard cutleries will do the trick well enough ...

... 5 minutes and 49 seconds later, i'm a satisfied man. too full to be true ...

... what's better than finishing with a beautiful glass of imported beer under the unforgiving sun. AAAHHHHH, blisssss baby bliisssssssss !!! ...

There you have it. I hope you've collected enough saliva to fill up yr bathtub now. haha ... will post something up sometime soon. will try at least. do keep me in yr prayers for me final exams on the 14,15 and 18th if you do pray. have a nice one. cheers !!!

eddyshoots .....  skylines

Went to Shalot's .. oopps! Charlotte's place last weekend to do some shoots of the beautiful scenes outside her apartment. The view's absolutely stunning, esp if you're living on the 25th floor. You just can't express it enough. Went to her place to take some shots some time ago and the pics sucked! This time, I brought my tripod along. It was an such an orgasmic experience ... haha ... stop thinking dirty! haha... enjoy !!!

... everything is so posh, so luxurious ...

... the lobby and door way is like a 11 star hotel ...

... melbourne skyline from the south ...

... the romantic city ...

... MCG and beyond ...

... the city never sleeps ...

... jewel in the skies ...

... yesterday once more ...

... the moving tower ...

... road to MCG ...

... road to MCG II ...

There you have it, its a whole load of pics taking from one apartment. If only I have more friends living at highrise apartments all over Melbourne. It would be so damn syiok! I welcome any intentions to buy my pics. Haha... I need money to buy a new Nikon D70s with a 35-70mm ED lens and 55-300mm ED lens extension set. Whoah!! Don't get me started !!! Have a good day !!!

THANKS CHARLOTTE !!!
