Day 15: My last proper day in Melbourne is spent with none other than my dearest niece, Olivia. I felt 2 full days with her weren't even enough. The moment i reached her doorstep, she was standing there with her Dad screaming and waving to me already, i immediately melt inside. The power of her radiant smile.
Decided to bring Olivia to the Collingwood Children's Farm. What was said on the Internet was so exaggerating, it turned out like a boring old farm. There were only some sheeps, some goats, some horses, some chickens which you can find in SG, and no more. We missed the milking cow session so we decided to settle for some breakfast at the Farm's cafe first.
^ My set of breakfast that day, so famished at that time and i think it tasted so good. At least their harsh browns really tasted good, the one at the side which looks like a salad. Nope, it's harsh browns!!! :)
^ She absolutely love her Baby Chino ;)
^ Just no one can replace this cutest pie in my heart
After that we began to explore the farm! Oh i forgot to mention earlier on, there are guinea pigs as well in the farm, but i found that cool because they are stored in cages, and it's written there "You can take them out and play with them, but do remember to place them back in their respective cages after that!", hahaha i think that's cool!
^ Olivia felt amazed when the guinea pig sat on her lap, look at that sparkling look in her eyes!
^ And then she straight away gave that "Please fuck off" look when a little boy interrupted her hahahaha
^ And started whining when we felt it was time to put back the guinea pig
^ She didn't dare to touch the goats, so she was grabbing my neck so tightly
^ And when Olivia finally let down her fear and touched the goats, she laughed out so loudly, just take a look at her radiant and wide smile, such a cutie pie.
^ We were laughing away when Olivia was summoning us to do this and that for her, she even summoned Jane to carry her on her back. You know why we willingly did? Because we indirectly made her fell thrice! So this little witty girl knows we or rather i feel guilty, so she started acting like a princess!!!
^ Voted best female kid actress, her expression when she complained her bag was heavy, so she told me in chinese "Yi Yi, it's very heavy, you can take it", she used the word 'can', as if it was my bag and she volunteered to carry it, this cheeky girl~
^ This Caucasian woman played with Olivia for awhile
Then we decided to get some Yogurt at a famous yogurt place since Jane said it was really delicious!
^ Even in such a place, she enjoyed herself just as much, that's how simple a life of a kid is, and that's how she made my day so fulfilling and made me feel so blissful. She danced to all the hip-hop songs played in the yogurt place, still can't contain my laughter when i watch back at the videos now! Please stay as cute Olivia, no one beats yours for sure.
^ And there she is snoring away in her baby chair after a long day for her. Look at her bulging stomach ;)
Sent Olivia back home, spent another hour playing with her in the house before we left her place.That girl has a body of a 2 year old kid, but a playful and cheeky character of a 12 year old kid. Almost gonna cry when i bid goodbye to my cousin and Olivia. Went back home thereafter and drove to a nearby Korean Restaurant for dinner with Jane, Carmen, Shermaine and the whole family. It was a cold night, but a warm one in my heart. My last day was a simple yet memorable one :')
^ The Korea pancake tastes amazingly good!
^ However the ginseng chicken soup has absolute no ginseng taste at all...
^ This was really bad........The seafood tasted so raw and salty...........
Day 16: Had breakfast at a famous Croissant bread cafe (I forgot its name) before i left for the airport. The breakfast and my croissant was reaaalllyy good, a good end to my trip in Melbourne :)
I hereby thank the above 3, and Ivy who is not in the picture, so much for making my trip so memorable and fun. I had an incredibly long yet fun days there. The efforts they put in to plan my itinerary for all my days, the ears we lent each other when things went wrong on one night, the warmth we shared while cuddling in bed for a movie, and the fun and laughter we provided one another. I miss the times when we sat down at the dining table after our dinner, and just laughed away at things we said while urging each other to soften down because it's too late. Thanks so much girls, all of you definitely mean something to me. I will be back, whether in 1 or 10 years time, i promise i'll be back no matter what, and like i said cousins will never drift, so we won't. Till then to Chinese New Years together!
School has officially started. It was bad on the first day, but it got so much better as days went by. Now i can say i no longer hate school! I made friends, one which i feel have the same character as me, one whose actions are really genuinely sweet and caring, one who i felt we click so well. Cheers to good days and friendships in school!
Await my posts on my school and life, it's coming up real soon! xx
