in melbourne~

i just realised that my last post was on the melbourne cup.... i was in sydney for that.... but now, im in melbourne for this post...
i've come down here for 8 days to caddy for sam (my cousin) while he plays golf down here...
on the way down here, we took turns driving... but there was a bit of a mishap... i wasnt watching the fuel gauge... and the fuel from the sub-tank didnt kick in... so the car stopped in the middle of the highway..... we were there for about an hour and a half... but eventually we over-pumped up the rear spare tyre, and attached the air hose from that into the fuel tank to push the fuel through the car again.... and we were back on the road....
this is the first time for me in melbourne... i've heard alot about the weather here, and it was exactly as i heard it... out of nowhere, it just started down pouring on the first night.... and the next day, it was bloody hot~!!! but at night, its bloody cold~!!! i have the flu and serious sunburns.... all in 5 days of melbourne.... 4 seasons in 1 day~!!!

since we didnt come here on a holiday, i havent had the chance to really look around melbourne... but the one day we did go into the city for a look, i walked down to the MCG/Rod Laver Arena... and everyone who has been here must have passed Flinders St.....

the Yarra was really pretty too.... and personally, i like this photo that i took of it~ haha
then we had a look at the Crown Casino too... ^^

anyways, the business end of the golf starts tomorrow.... wednesday, thursday, friday.... and i will be back in sydney on saturday~~
from melb... straight to cherrybrook for baseball.... damn~~ cherrybrook is so far~~ especially coming from melb~~ ^^
