New Camera + Tulip Fest = Inspired Photography!

First Official Day of the Holiday: (as in it's the weekend!)
How tiring! After sleeping close to 5 am, woke up at 8 ish to get out of the apartment by 9 am. Gosh darn it.. not enough sleep! Anyway, semangat semangat cos the pictures Gung Gung had from last year's tulip fest were so gorgeous (or, he might say it was just him... hehehe)
Anyway, armed with my brother's 101 functions that i can't figure out yet camera, we (301 + Cc's Mummy) set off to Dandenong! Or, to be more precise, 357 Monbulk Road, Sylvan.
Took a tram, then a train, then a bus, then a cab to the Tulip place which took us around 2+ hours to finally get to!
Anyway, there were some dum dum photos taken....

Empty vessels make most noise...
But there were also nice photos.. especially playing with the macro function on the camera! Although quite ma fan to keep swopping between modes, eventually you find what works!
I like this colour!!!Flower model? Maybe you need something to contrast and make the flowers look prettier...
I think the red and blue contrast so well.. And the blur background works so well! credit to Izy's photography! This one i took. =)One red pair...One purple pair.... Makes you think of eyes... right? EYES!
The pretty little fairy hollow that they made
Anyway, after we'd walked all over the place, which took pretty much 2 or 3 hours, and had lunch and watched a very very very good bellydancer, well.. in my opinion anyway. Then we were gonna head back so i called a cab. But after a while i think they got sick of me and I couldn't call via my mobile and had to use Cc's. The long and the short of it.. "The cab could take hours to get out there". WTO!?!?!?
So we decided to walk the 4 km or so to Monbulk to catch the bus back to the train station. Time passes faster when you play silly games like on the spot alphabet. Try getting someone to say every letter of the alphabet to you and you replying with the first word that you can think of beginning with that letter. Really amusing! You sort of stumble at around L... and then you get things like O for Aubergine! *chuckle* At least aunty got to wear in her new prestos!
Finally got back, ate korean (recommended by Sugsy... good and cheap!), bought some groceries to try and make mango lassi, and came home to collapse...
Fun day out and i wanna make my whole holiday as full!!!

Btw, Cc's mummy (my aunty) leaving today already (4 am again). Bye Bye Aunty! Thank you for staying 301. Hope you enjoyed your stay and have a safe flight!
