Planned to ski on Mount Buller and watch penguins at Penguin Parade before flying off to Melbourne. All my plans got canceled! First, it was because of the price tags (ski jacket and goggles) and that nobody wants to go watch penguins with me! I know ski jacket and everything can be rented on the mountain but thinking of wearing them after thousands unknown people have put them on, I will give a pass. No money to buy, simply don't ski.

Basically my vacation in Melbourne was casual and simple, without an itinerary. Sometimes my BFF cooked for me or we would just have meals in a random restaurant (mostly Malaysian ones since we hungered for it so in Melbourne).

I was pretty gloom that I didn't get the chance to watch real penguins, and by that I meant wild penguins. So when  my BFF said we can watch penguins at St. Kilda Beach, I didn't believe him in the first place. It's not written in the net! All said must go Penguin Parade to watch penguins!

Have I told you the super crazy strong wind? My legs literally lifted up due to the strong wind.

I know it's saddening to see this. :(

Got bitch slapped by sand. I looked at BFF with a shocked face, he told me he got slapped by sand too. My younger sister was safe as she walked behind us. Blame it on the strong wind!

Well, am taking a break from blogging and flying off with another two of my friends this coming Saturday. I was down to gastric and headache since a week ago due to super busy schedule. Differently from my previous vacations, I have that little worries inside me as this time is their first time flying to another country. Thankfully that I'm not flying alone this time, like I did when flying to Melbourne. Wish me luck!

See you guys very soon, xoxo.
