Anyway, I'm here to talk about my trip. I feel like some people would find me lame writing a whole post just about a trip but my holiday to Melbourne is so worth talking about! I had so much fun, despite the fact that my dad had to travel around with his crutches, everything went well. And the fact that it was my third time going to Australia, i thought it was going to be boring but nope, one wonderful trip! So let's start from the first day, shall we? 

20th Dec, 800pm -

We made our way to the airport, checked in and you know, all the typical traveling stuff. Boarded our flight at about 11pm. We got on the "priority boarding list" because well, dad...crutches. Mhm. I felt so important when we found out we can board the plane first LOL. 

21st Dec -

Landed in Melbourne at about 10am. It was a 7-hour flight and Melbourne was 3 hours ahead of KL. So, go figure! 

Once we were done settling in and unpacking our things at our apartment (Nova Stargate - lovely place ^^) we went to Queen Victoria Market! Came across a couple of street performers that were so good! They were quite attractive too ;)

I was just there for a couple of hours but I was already so in love with the city! It was so amazing! I get it now, why Melbourne is the "most livable city in the world". Yeah, I do dislike how unreasonably priced some (all, really) things were but the city was so lovely! I loved how friendly everyone was. Like when you enter a shop, their workers would ask you "how are you doing on this lovely day?" and also, after you pay for your things, they'd say things like "have a good day!" or "enjoy your goodies, love!". I feel like this "culture" of being friendly only exists everywhere but Malaysia. I have nothing against my own country, trust me. When I was in Europe, quite a lot of the people there would ask you how your day went and what not & when I was in Australia, literally about 98.9979% of them are friendly! 

Oh my god and everyone there had their own sense of style! It was so subjective. That was one of my most favourite things about Melbourne. There were girls with pink on the ends of their hair, with tattoos and tons of piercing, wearing just a plain white tank and shorts, which I personally think is cute. And then there were skater boys, oh god, my favourite! Scruffy hair, pretty eyes, charming smile and on skateboards! I know this is already a long post just by me talking about the people but seriously, i loved it! Besides skater boys, there were also well-dressed man with chiseled facial features. Oh my god yesterday, one tall, dark and handsome man walked past me and my jaw just dropped! I'm not even kidding! 

Ok enough about the people! 

First day was lovely. The food though, wow. It was kinda difficult to get Halal food but it wasn't impossible. We bought our dinner at this Bali/Indonesian place. Oh my god, my dinner on the first night there was SO amazing. It tasted so good. I want more of it!!

22nd Dec -

We made our way to Luna Park on the city's tram. This amusement park was one of the many things I was looking forward to because when Marc was in Melbourne 2 months ago for the race in Phillip Island, he took this picture: 

And of course, being the obsessive person that I am, I just had to take pictures similar to his, make a collage and upload it with the caption "I went on a date with Marc". Yup.
