Great Ocean Road..

This year has been a good year... so far, i had 2 surprises... and it was fun.. one was when i was back home, they were planning for my farewell.. all planned pretty well.. i din really suspect anything... anyway... for my birthday, i got a surprise as well..!! and i din expect anything..
it was fun.. chocolate cakes and chocolate... Thx, Iris, Kaz, Ice and Linda.. and the rest... =) thk u all soo much... =)


~Great Ocean Road~
i've been here before.. but because my aunt wanted to see as she has not seen melbourne before.. so i just went along... i knew it was just rocks and ocean... so this time i went, it was still rocks and the ocean... same... but it was good fun.. bonding with nature.... hahahaha..the fish and chips was good.. hehe.. Eugenia was there as well.. so it wasn't thaat bad.. hehe.. always nice to haf a fren when goin on holiday.. =) oh yea, i saw TORQUAY.. i was wondering wat was Kaz talking abt when i finally saw 2 gigantic stores;ripcurl and quicksilver....!! i saw TORQUAY.. then i remember Kaz talking about some place with big shops with surfing clothing... then i realised.. this is it..! haha.. he said something like tourkey.. wondering how to spell it.. oh well, i know it now... but the bus din stop there.... =( but anyway, it's not a shopping tour... it's a scenic tour... =p i wanna go..... road trip or something.....

after the Great Ocean Road, me and my aunt went ballooning.. hehe.. we woke up at 3am..!!! it was an hour's drive to the take off place... i was scared at first... but after a pretty stable take off, i began to loosen up... but Yarra Valley wasn't that great... it was ok.. all u can see is trees... and small houses that look like playthings.. and sheeps and cows running around coz they heard the balloon's sound... it's so funny.. looking at them running in different directions...

this is them setting up.. it was a cooooldd morning... the heat is so strong...!! in an instance, i was all warmed up already..

the landing was so funny..!! we had a few bumps then i felt the basket tipping over... and THEN, it finally tipped over.. and we were all in the position as they were setting up.. lying on our backs... the other side was affected quite badly.... coz the basket scooped up some water.. some were drenched...! but they were good sports... they just laughed it off.. the pilot was afraid that they were winge and all but no.. they just laughed it off... so farni.. i was fortunate in a way, i was in the dry side.. then after, they gave us breakfast... champagne breakfast... =) full breakfast..
