we set off pretty early (ok not that early. about 9.30am)

Miss Marples.
but sadly it was too full (had to wait for an hour for a seat?!?!)

THEREFORE
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO HAVE ME AS THEIR CUSTOMERRRR.

we decided to stop by for more photos because the scenery was breathtaking...

and we decided to act drama to our photos (cheryl and kevin's idea)
it was after several attempts (from laughing and giggling)..
before.. we got this!
a simple photoshop-ed version of it :D
*
after our Fish&Chips lunch (love it love it!).. we headed off to...
THE PHILIP ISLAND!
*
brought back many wonderful memories of my family trip to Melb.. oh man. i miss them :(
i remember the seagulls feeding, dolphins, pelicans, penguins, etc.
really love my dad for all the beautiful childhood memory that he gave us.
like what my sister had said in her past journal post, we're not rich (just average) but my dad, he wanted to potray a beautiful childhood for us thus he used his hard-earned money to bring us to many many places.
All over asia (i think we've covered most of Asia), Aussie (like quite a few times), America, ...
such a wonderful dad, right?
and now.. he invested his money on me as well. and sent me abroad for further studies.
it's really not easy.
the expenditures here are very high. very costly.
*
my mum too. been the lovely wife who always support him.. accompanies him to movies during the weekends, cooking for him (and us!), keeping the house clean, ..
and the lovely mummy too who had no quelms about bring the three troublesome daughter for overseas trips, carrying our belongings when we go on roller coaster rides.
*
okok. enough of the emo stuff. in short, i love my family. alot.
p.s. xuan, yun! tell mummy and daddy to read this part :P
*
which is why, when i read the news about the Lin's family murder case, i teared. because i put myself in her shoes.
what an idiot, right?
*
back to the topic.
MORE PHOTOS...
*
ok.. if you have been following up with my on Twitter,
remember this Twit/Twitt?

yes! this is the poor lil penguin who got tortured by the blardy china asshole who FLASHED HIS FUCKING CAMERA AT THE PENGUIN.
right in front on the poor lil thing's FACE!!
(no.. i didnt take w flash)
THE WARNING BOARD HAD IT STATED THERE THAT NO FLASHES IS ALLOWED BUT THIS CHINA GUY IS OBVIOUSLY BLIND.
EVEN IF THERE'S NO SIGNBOARD SAYING THAT, HE IS NOT USING HIS COMMON SENSE!!!
WE WERE LIKE SCOLDING HIM AND HE SAID "OKOK" AND *CLICKKKKK* ANOTHER SHOT AT THE PENGUINS!! S:
ARGH.
*
so sad that such people do exist. :( the penguins are quite tramuatised by our presence and with the flash?
furthermore they are sensitive to sudden light! i mean common, humans too, right? the poor penguins with their puny lil beady eyes... how?
*
ok. shall not talk about him anymore...
more photos to share:
trying to act emo but this guy had to appear... :|
one more try!
bf's turn!
we took group photos too.. but in Cheryl's camera. if i feel like it i will post it up too :P
*
we also saw this lil penguin on the way out of the bridge..
*
after that, we went for the Penguin Parade..

the penguins are still very cute. too bad no photography is allowed...
they used to be known as Fairy Penguins the last time when my family went over.. but now, they are called - Lil Penguins.
Worth at least a visit if you do drop by Melb!!
*
Alright, shall end this post with another sceneric photo..
ENJOY!
