Great Ocean Road
When I was young, my family members were the one taking care of me. This time when they come over to Melbourne, I was the one who took care of them. Suddenly I felt how much I have grow up since then. I felt so dai kor lui.
Just last few days, my cousin wanted to go on a roadtrip. Due to this was a budget trip she wanted to drive. Okay... I am fine with driving until she told me she wanted to head to Great Ocean Road! WHAT!!!! The journey to Great Ocean Road is as long as it takes to reach Penang! Plus my housemate scared me with tiredness and tough route! I wanted to persuade my cousin not to go anymore but she insisted. I was then left with only two options: leave her alone and go by herself or I go with her. Of course I chose to go with her! It wasn't an option anyway!
We rented a Toyota Camry from Budget. Being such a petite girl, the size of the car gave me shocked when I first got on the car! I said to myself, 'OMG!! Why this car has such a huge ass??!!'. I did not want my cousin to find out I wasn't confident at all in driving such a big car, I act as though nothing has happened. I boost up my confidence and drove.
Hehe... I got lost in the city. I could not find the exit to West Gate Bridge. Instead, I drove all the way to god knows where! I remembered I passed Albert Street. I so wanted to back out and say, 'Can we not go?'. Okay... Nevermind. In the end I still found the exit and it was smooth journey till the end. No hiccups at all! Weeeeee!!!!
I took the fast route through Colac and then cut through to Camperdown, Cobden and Port Campbell. The information centre I stopped by during the journey very much helped me through the way. For me, I guess that's the best route option! The journey to Great Ocean Road itself took me maybe 5 hours? But it was all worth it when such beautiful sceneries lay in front of my eyes. They were so breathtaking!
Loch Arch Gorge
The Twelve Apostles
Fine!!! I admit! Those are not the pictures taken by me! I googled it! Because... the day I went, the weather was horrible! It rained and the wind was super strong! When I walked, I practically had to fight with the wind! And I could see nuts from the camera frame! The pictures I took were purely based on 'feel'! Just simply on the camera, put it in front of me and SNAP!
My version of...
Bay of Islands
Loch Arch Gorge
TheTwelve Eleven Apostles
Eleven Apostles because sadly one has tumbled down. Bye bye rock!
Not bad right my version? Maybe because the sceneries are so beautiful, they still look so darn beautiful regardless on how you took it. I told you I wasn't lying when I said the weather was bad! You can actually see the midst of rain in my pictures!
At one point I seriously wished I had short hair!
Gahhh!! NONE of the pictures could see my face! I don't care! I am going back to Great Ocean Road on one fine sunny day to snap pictures again! *cough*Bean*cough*
I spent another 5 hours driving back to the city. It was generally fun driving but once I got off from the driver seat, I could feel the tiredness from all around the corner of my body. Me and driving for 10 hours was a great achievement for me. It may sound kembang but I am seriously proud of myself! *smile* Driving there is a great option as you can really save up a lot. The car that was rented only cost $50. If you actually join the tour, each person cost about $135. However, you must prepare yourself with long journey driving. It is so darn freaking tiring! No joke.
Lesson learnt for the day: LOOK AT THE WEATHER FORECAST BEFORE YOU HEAD TO GREAT OCEAN ROAD. Freaking wind and rain spoilt the day! Spoilt the beautiful sceneries!
P/S: No no no... Bean, I'm not having cough! Don't ask me take ubat batuk cap Ibu dan Anak.

Kill Me Please!!
Past few days have been really tiring. Few of my family members came down from Malaysia for a short holiday. The sad part is they are leaving tomorrow! I can't believe I am having the heavy-hearted feeling. The great part is I finally can settle myself down to some studying! Exam is just around the corner which means I am going to be able to see Bean soon enough! *big grin*
Since Melbourne is famous for the Hong Kong style dim sum, I suggested bringing my family members to have a yum cha session this morning. My uncle was nibbling loads of food before we left. Out of curiosity, I asked him, "Why are you eating so much? We going yum cha soon!". He just kept quiet. Later I found out he thought the "yum cha" I meant was plain drinking tea session! It really gave me a little chuckle. My uncle is so cute sometimes.
My little aunt wanted to buy some nougat back so that she can share it with her colleagues in the factory. You know those adult thingy... buying souvenirs and distributes to the whole world. We passed by this shop in Chinatown, thus ushering her into the shop. When she was paying money, suddenly I saw this beautiful lambskin that I always wanted to buy one but the price is a bit pricy that turns my mood off. I stood there rubbing rubbing the white soft lambskin for quite some time. I thought I just ask the sales promoter for the price so that I will get turned off with the expensive price.
Promoter: Oh... we are having a promotional price!
Me: (aiyar... sure still damn expensive)
Promoter: The original price is $68.
Me: (wahh... not buying)
Promoter: Now we are selling it for $38.
Me: (CRAP! $38 ONLY FOR SUCH A HUGE LAMBSKIN?)
Okay... I calmed myself down thinking over the price and other non-related reasons like what are you going to do with it and yadda yadda yadda). At that point when I decided not to buy it (my hands were still rubbing the soft lamb fur...),
Aunt #1: You like it then buy lar...
Aunt #2: Aiyar... buy lar!!!
Cousin: Is so cheap! And the fur is really soft and nice...
My family members were hopeless I tell you! I thought the adults were going to give me advices like 'so expensive, waste of money, don't buy lar!' Instead, they encouraged me to buy! I bought it lar in the end! $%#$%%@@&%!
But as soon as I got up the tram... PIAK! Reality hit me! Why did I buy it? Now I regret... Very regret... Super regret... Damn regret!
BAhhhhhhhhh....... Kill me!!!! Kill me PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
As usual, I called Bean and whined about it! I said the exact above line. He being so sweet... hehe... said...

Pie In The Sky
If you are not going to a far place, 8.30am to start a road trip in Melbourne is a bit too early! With my *ahem* great *ahem* driving skills, we reached Dandenong before the clock even struck ten! We could not head to the tulip farm as it only opens at 11.00am. We ended up parking our car at a bus stop to decide where should we head to. My friend was so awestruck with the scenery outside, he was more excited to get down the car to snap some pictures rather than deciding.
Hmmm... a piece of green land and a little hut.
In the end we decided to grab a few bites. Being a newbie at Dandenong, I had no idea which restaurant I was supposed to pop by! I was lucky my two road trip kakis had been to Dandenong before and hence recommended this great place to eat. Honestly, I wasn't too keen on visiting this place as I do not fancy eating pie. But what made me agreed to go was the name of the restaurant. Pie In The Sky.
When we reached the restaurant, the clock just hit ten. Thank god the restaurant has opened! If not I had no idea where we should go. Probably sit in the car till the restaurant opens? I bet we were the first customers for the day. Ah... is not a norm for restaurants in Melbourne to actually open before ten!
This place offers a large variety of pies. From beef pies to chicken pies. From western style pies to Malay style pies! I am serious! They have Chicken Kurma Pie, Tandoori Chicken Pie and Thai Chicken Green Curry Pies. All carrying the Gold Medal 2001 titles! Heck, they even sell Beef Rendang Pie! Wow! A Malay word that is so internationally known! Guaranteed freshness as their pies are made daily.
A great selection of pies... Yummy... yummy...
Since we were just here for a light breakfast, we only chose two pies to share. We chose one of the 'Asian' style pies, theAyam Chicke
n Kurma Pie with mashed potatoes. The chicken kurma is surrounded by crispy crust of the pie. The aroma of the chicken kurma smelt exactly like the one back home! It even tasted like the one back home! The crust of the pie was not too thick and not over burnt! Just nice and crispy! It tasted so good but I just wish the mashed potatoes were a little more creamy. And more gravy please!
Look closer to the picture!!! They have indicator for every different pies! What a cute way to sort out the pies! Club for Chicken Kurma Pie! =D
This pie cost $13.50 plus $4.50 for the extra mashed potatoes.
The overall rating for this restaurant is...
With such big grins on our faces, I guess I don't need to say further...

This pie cost $13.50 plus $4.50 for the extra mashed potatoes.
The other gourmet pie we took was the Pie Floater. It is their Gold Medal Winner dish. You can pick any of your favourite pie (we chose the Steak and Mushroom Pie) in a thick and tasty 'Ham and Pea' soup top with a scoo
p of fresh and creamy mashed potatoes. The Steak and Mushroom Pie was extremely delicious! Two thumbs up for this! The fillings are made of minced beef in an i-don't-know what-is-it-called but-tasted so-damn-good gravy with chunks of mushrooms! And seasoned with pepper too! I am not a fan for western style soup besides mushroom soup but this Ham and Pea soup did not disappoint me. However, I feel this pie floater will go better with a plain pie like a beef pie. This is because the soup kinda covered up the steak pie taste. This pie floater cost $13.50 too!
Heading to the drinks menu, we ordered Iced Chocolate, Iced Coffee, Vanilla Milkshake and Hot Chocolate. Besides the Iced Coffee, every other drinks tasted normal... nothing exceptionally special. There wasn't any sugar in the Iced Coffee. So it was a bit bitter. I would say it tasted filled with coffee aroma. Both the Iced Chocolate and Coffee had a scoop of vanilla ice-cream in it. The hot chocolate was great because I enjoyed the milk froth! =P
