Yea ! Am in Melbourne now!!

Arrived and got picked up by JinBear at about 7.30. It was very surprising to find out how fast it took to get through immigration and customs ! RaeBear came along and we all went for breakfast at this nice little cafe and had some fruit for breakfast. Later, I got dropped off at IH to meet JeanBear ! Yay ! Then.... started walking along Royal Parade to Uni, and then dropped in at the Engineering Building to suprise IzyBear !! Persuaded him to come along to lunch at RedSilks and there we waited for all the other unsuspecting suspects !! First to come, were CCBear and KenBear, and then followed by CKBear, KeeBear and DamBear. So funny all their reactions ! Had a fantastically fun and stress free lunch !! The weather was soooooo good !! And we sat outside in the wind ! Wa.... though it was slightly colder than expected...but still totally amazing.

After lunch, walked around the city and ended up in KeeBear and DamBear's apartment where we played mahjong for about 3 hours !! It was nailbiting but ended up losing thirty cents only, after at one point being down 22 dollars ! Then rushed for the tram to meet RoxBear, SabBear, JinBear, RaeBear, KanBear, WoobyBear, DinoBear, KaiBear, FredBear, SherBear and KimBear. This was dinner at Docklands. Fantastic Chicken Salad. Then we adjourned to FredBear's apartment to drink coffee and admire his new coffee machine. We left later to go to se7en, Melbourne's apparent newest hip club. It was freezing cold to line up to go in, and it was such a big change from the heat you get lining up in Singapore for clubbing. It was great, and got to meet a few other people including KenBear, JarBear and VarBear. Collapsed in bed around 5.30 after driving JinBear's car home with 7 people, including KaiBear in the trunk !

Woke up the next day, to have lunch with JeanBear and HarvBear. Stoppede by the Dining Hall, where bumped into JeffBear, AaBear, YYBear, ChandBear and YvBear. Made some plans to meet up later. Then had lunch at King of Kings (that place has not changed !) where we talked and laughed and talked and walked around the city visiting some art galleries and back alleys and book shops. Ended up at his apartment (which has a walk in closet ! and a shrine of ParkyBear !!!) before all of us went our separate ways, me going to JinBear's apartment before meeting up with SoBear and NiqBear, with RaeBear, KimBear, and RoxBear for dinner at Westlake. We had dinner and then bought some burgers for DinoBear and WoobyBear for dinner. We played Articulate ! a board game and then all ended up in front of the TV with the Nintendo Wii.

Today, woke up early to have dim sum with SherBear's parents, herself, SharlBear and ShayBear, with XXBear and FredBear....Yum. Had a fun time as usual with SherBear's parents..so funny....and as usual was asked to eat the last pieces....haha. Walked to XXBear's apartment then, and looked around, meeting KatBear before going off with XXBear and FredBear to Albert Park to have some shots at the driving range. Stayed there a whole afternoon, ending up with afternoon tea at Laurent before coming back to IH where supposedly there should be barbeque in a while with about 20 people. Nevertheless, it is slightly drizzling and hope that it would blow over soon. Never mind, meanwhile can play with AABear's NDS... :P

Later on, after sending JeanBear to Southern Cross Station, will be going to LaTrobe for a spot of karaoke at Kbox ! Expected ending time is 3 am. OMG....

And as of now, I have dinner plans for the next few days...................very busy...
