Melbourne Day 1

Greetings from Down Under.

In actual truth nothing much happened yesterday. We reached Melbourne at 10am and made a beeline for Margaret's school. It was a really nice place. Think Enid Blyton's boarding school but a bit more modern. I think the only quaint part is the boarding house which is really like Enid Blyton's books. (matt: More like hogwarts. Especially the boarding house. But without the revolving stairs)

Matt's mum went for all the parent-teacher meetings while we hung out at the tuckshop. It was the break time so it was filled with school girls and it was hilarious cos poor old matt got intimidated.. HAHA by big size ang moh teenage girls talking at the top of their voices. (Matt: I was not intimidated. Just self concious. )

We took Margie out for dinner at a Hong Kong seafood eatery which was quite nice and then she went off for her dance class. After we got back to the service apartment matt plonked onto his bed and never woke up. Yup.. in his outside shirt and jeans and never brushteeth.. Ewww... but the poor thing didn't sleep on the plane and thats as much as he could take so he zonked out before I can say gd night.

The only interesting thing I guess was the fact that ITS SO HOT in MELBOURNE!!!! And guess had a good time doing the I told you so to me? Yes.. I told matt to bring warm clothes cos the last time I came it was COLD.... blah.. blah the La Nina effect. (matt: She thanked me later. She was about to buy a $90 jacket from "Winter Time". I stopped her. Apparently I was the only one with common sense to ask my sister what the weather was like there. Still, it was... hot.) The heat got to matt and by dinner he was dazed by the heat with the goo goo look. HAHA I should have taken a picture..

So here I am at 12 pm. Still in PJS.. typing this. Yes Matt just woke up so essentially sleeping beauty slept for more than 12 hours.. (matt: jealous?) and since sleeping beauty's friend had nothing else to do so the friend also slept for more than 12 hours.. but less than sleeping beauty la. Today we shall accomplish more!..
