Yes this blog entry for the last 2 days of my stay in Melbourne is also insanely late! Ive been back in Singapore for 2 weeks and even completed a 2 day work trip to Kuala Lumpur to boot ..
hehehhe but you know what they say , better late than never :P
Day 4:
I was feeling it...the "limited" time i had left...time was ticking away. we spent the morning trapesing through town shopping . i guess the pressure of the left over "limited" time got to me and i lost my temper at porkchop over the littlest things.
By the afternoon, we were happily trapesing through the city park... armed with loaves of bread, we searhed for little wild ducks to feed...just like when we were in uni. but damn there were no ducks in sight :P sigh
having given up on finding any ducks , we walked deeper into the park and ended up at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl. an outdoor concert area on top of a hill within the park.
you can see Melbourne city's skyline from the hill... see the building beside the statue..thats where porkchop's apartment is..and the other really tall one is the Eureka Tower..the one with the golden bee sculptures..
we just sat on the grass...lied back and stared out into the sky...enjoying the quiet.
then porkchop had an idea - He would take me to St Kilda's beach! we boarded the tram...but got lost along the way :P luckily we were able to get a cab off the streets .
When we got to St Kilda's Beach..the skies were cloudy and strong chilly winds were beating down on everything in sight.
cloudy cloudy grey skies
there were alot of street side stalls selling anything from artwork, to handmade jewelery and leather craft stuff
view of the beach from the main road . we made our way down to the jetty...
view from the jetty , lo! Melbourne city aint so far away from St Kilda's beach too.
my artistic photoshoot : gery clouds were everywhere. and then...rays of sunlight shone through..it was quite an amazing sight!
after a long walk along the jetty, we finally got to this amazing old restaurant at the end of the jetty - for the life of me i cant remember what is the name of this lighthouse. we wanted to have a cup of warm coffee and some cakes there but , it was full :(
this is my favourite shot below..the sun was setting. and things amazingly got brighter as we drew closer to the evening. 
lotsa people were doing some really cool wind surfing? is that what its called? im not too sure but it looked damn fun! 
crash landed surfee...nevermind mate you were still cool!
hehhehe i took a pic of our shadow as we trapesed back to the beach from the jetty.
Day 5 :
we went back to town and got some delicioous food from the little alley ways 
discovered this quaint little seafood shop
yeah porkchop ended up eating fish and chips again...but this time grilled fish :P
lotsa fish and chips and fish soup later, we still had space for delicious chocolate
YAY! there really was lots to see and do at the Melbourne aquarium.. and it was their UFO promo - UFO ( jELLYFISH)
i managed to capture many mesmerizing magical pics of different varieties of jellyfishies
neeeenooooo neeeenoooooo i think i would freak out if i saw jellyfishies in swarms like this while scubadiving :P
this giant crab made me hungry ...
so did these rays.... yum yum
pissy looking sharks were everywhere but they didnt have a travellator nor dugongs..not like the singapore underwaterworld at Sentosa... PLUS scubadiving with the sharks at the Melbourne Aquarium was over 300 bucks! i mean it was only 90 bucks in Singapore! what gives ?
i took over 50 pics i think in the aquarium simply too many to share ...hahahaha
..After the aquarium adventure...we settled into a quiet dinner...just sat around the house.busied myself cleaning up, doing the dishes, doing all the laundry. i didnt sleep. i whipped up some ravioli for porkchop to take to work the next day . just wanted to do as much as i could for him before i left.
the next day Porkchop had to leave for work first thing in the morning.
the next day was my flight home back to Singapore.
