I dunno to tell u to brace urself.. or to brace myself as I am typing this because this is one great eventful day!
I will try to let the pictures to the talking.. haha hopfully possible..=X
This is like our olden days mrt card..
the amount stated is a day ticket to the city, however we can use this same ticket to sit the tram, bus or train to anywhere we need! (including back to Myke's place)
How convenient... just make sure not to lose it.
This is how their train looked like..
The City Tram
In the city (Federation Square), there is a visitor's centre for tourist of locals who need the map or information to stop by..
I love the idea of such service. It gives me the security that I will not get lost in this huge city.
With a visitor's centre, there will be souvenirs too!
I din buy the above.. too touristsy for buying.. even though interesting
Love the architectual building..
This is the outside of the train station! Looks grand right.
(Flinders Station)
We sat the free city tram, a service for locals and tourist to hop on and off throughout the city!!
very convenient! importantly! FREE!
(Singaporean Spirit!!)
Walking through flag staff gardgen..
notice the tree wrapped up?!
no the trees are not cold!
its to prevent animals like possums to climb them..
love the greenery here..
Ancient clock..
i have no idea how to tell the time using this though..
i can only tell u.. its a HOT blazing afternoon keke
Yes my main purpose of coming here..
"Queen Victoria's Market!"

Chocolates!
In Melbourne, when you want to get toileteries please do not go supermarket.
they have stalls called the Chemist that sells them..

Love birds..

Just outside the market waiting for Myke's Gf (Maryiln)
The little girl behind is Lily and she is Six. I got bored I end up talking to her.
The locals here are very friendly and is willing to talk to you anytime. =)
after finishing up with the market, we began roaming around
If only the MCD in SG will serve quality beef like these!
I enjoy seeing how the stores deco their cakes..
Passed by Chinatown
We have Trishaw
They have Horse Carriages.
more ATAS and more expensive too!
it cost AUD$100 for 30minutes! *madness*
therefore we can only afford to take pictures with it..
oh yes! let me introduce, the lady on the extreme right is Maryiln
without her, we would not be able to travel around conveniently.
will add on why in the next few entries!
With 2 older people along and 2 pampered mom and daughter, we sat at a cafe near Federation Square
Latte with love
Rhasberry Cheesecake
Calamari
Chocolate Fudge cake
Its pretty obvious which ones mine.. ^_^
Isn't the city pretty!!
I like it that its so grand till every snap I take is post card quality..
Street Magic..

I think we picked the right week to be here.. because its the
MOOMBA Festival at South Gate!

Carnival Games
Minimum AUD$10 per try..
I saw many people hold on to large toys like
Bob the builder, Papa Smurf and Smurfette
I want them.. but these are never easy to get.. and i can only see winners carrying them everywhere.
*sadded*
Liked this view
They even have Live Band!
Cool right
Nando's seems popular in Melbourne and I wonder y..
This is a water cooler..
so much more easy to drink from compared to the ones we commonly see

Its getting late.. all of us were tired therefore its time to head back!
To open the train doors you will need to press that green button
