Back from Australia last Friday.
Glad that I passed through the thermal scanner successfully at the Changi Airport.
Hopefully I would be alright within the next few days :x
I couldn't remember what I did each day,but definitely remembered the places I went.

Reached Melbourne Airport around 6 in the morning.
For the 4 days at Melbourne,we went to
-Cattle Farm
-Philip Island
-Great Ocean Park
-Chocolate Factory
-Harbour Centre/Street shopping

The jorney to the Great Ocean Park was simply terrible.
Most of the people in the bus felt nauseous.
3 hours of bus-ride around the mountain,turning like a never-ending roller coaster.Lols.
Went there to view the 12 stones and the London Bridge :)

We went to Philip Island to see the Penguin Parade.
Expected to see the penguins very clearly from our seats.
But as the night is dark and the penguins were in such a small size, we did not see much.
the

The experience at the Cattle farm was horrible.
Horrible as I do not like animals.
The dogs were let out and came running around us.
The sheeps,although looked gentle, were so huge in size.
The chickens and ducks,forget it.
Went screaming as the Kangaroos came hopping towards us,thinking that it may pounce on us.
Anyway,bad experience.

The Chocolate Factory was Great.
The chocolates sold there were nice.
But unable to see the process :(
Bought quite a number of things in Melbourne.
The apparels at the Harbour Centre were cheap.
But did not buy anything during Street Shopping.

On the 5th Day, took plane to Sydney :)
Wore mask throughout the flight.
For the 3 days in Sydney,we went to
-The aquarium.
-Opera House
-Sat the Captain Cook Cruise.
-Shopping at Factory Outlet/Market City
-View the Sydney Tower.

The aquarium in Sydney is about the same as the Underwater World in Singpore.
Just that in Sydney,there is this special fish: Dugongs.
Did not went in the Opera House.
But took pictures around it.
The Captain Cook Cruise was a bore one.

The Market City in Sydney is like Bugis Street in Singapore.
But did not buy much from there.
Factory Outlet was not bad.
At least bought something back from there

And lastly,The Sydney Tower.
Went to sit an attraction like a 4D movie.
And went up to the Observation Tower which was 36 storeys high.
And one more thing to add.
Steffi and I were so crazy when we saw the computers at the hotel lobby.
As if not seeing a computer beofore.
So I am able to online this few days in Australia.

Celebrated my Grandma 71th Birthday :)
We planned a surprise for her.
She was about to sleep when we called upon her.
Her expression was very funny.Hahas

And Finally back to Singapore. :)
