A whale of a time in melb

Been sleeping like a pig since xmas till boxing day. eat and sleep non stop. oh god. what a life. even the clear blue sea and ocean bath couldnt draw me away from my bed. Am just tired and i didnt have any sleep for the 7 hr flight, no thanks to some screaming brat. If i could murder a kid, that would be there and then. Even plugging my ipod at max vol couldnt drown her. Dunno why i so suay, always stranded with these irritating brats that doesnt endear me to them.

landed in sydney on xmas eve and omg, it was fking hot. It was like 38degrees of hot wind blasting into my face the minute i was out of the immigration counter!!! Jamie and Amy came to pick us up from the airport and we stop by the cafe and had a sandwich near coogi beach. the cafe was real hot and i never understd why they couldnt have installed a ceiling fan? but the next few days was much better and the heat was more bearable.

The next few days, Jamie and Amie Took the kids out to the beach and i manage to wake up in time to head down to the beach and see them cleaning up heading home for lunch. Played some monster fish game with thema and had both of them screaming and running all over and yet cming back for more. Kids are hell of a tiring business.

Headed out to melb to meet susie on boxing day!! God it was been AGES since we last met and it was just amzing how we just fall back into pace again as if the years never lapse. Eric still looked the same too and i was so looking fwd to their new place they bought.

Arrived at their huge house at Armadale abt 11pm. I love their house.
it was just BEAUTIFUL GOREGOUS to me. for A1.5Million, you canx even get a size of apartment less a house this huge back in sg. It was a period home and and the space and high ceiling was just fantastic. I WOULD pay 1.5mill for this place too if i had any money and business in australia! But of coz it wuldnt be possible in sydney still. But imagine scotts 28 would cost us a good 2.3Mill back in sg and this is a wholelot much better!!!

talk till 3am++ with susie this morn and Eric drove us out to T'Gallant vineyards for lunch. The veal loin and peach dessert was fantastic. the mussels were sweet and i wish i had a bigger tummy to host more food! We were for wine sampling at 2 bucks and brought home a carton.Then Eric drove us to another vineyarde known as Red Hill estate and we just sat in the vineyard grass enjoying the breeze, and watch the ocean and blue sky in the horizon and chat for couple of hours till they announce the gates were closing abt 6pm. Everyday should be this way.Susie reckon we should only wrk 3 days a week t really enjoy life. Boy i totally agree with her.

Afterwhich, we headed to richmond and had really good viet pho noodles. I needed soup after a really filling dinner!!!! Couldnt tell the name of the shop but sus recko the locals call it the chicken and cow noodle shop since they had a picture of chicken and cow outside. Funnie.
Then we past pacific House and supposedly they served fanastic rooasted meat etc. I would be drooling looking at the display if i wasnt that full.

And now, we are back home, lazing and chilling the box of moscato Eric grab back from the vineyard. Its a fraction of a cost compared to sg. We are so gonna drin ourselves red in the face later. Wine are dirt cheap here. By the time its imported to sg, everything cost twice or 3 times as much.

olrite folks.
