Hop, Skip and a Painful 8 Hour Flight to Melbourne

I went to Melbourne and back and took not nearly enough photos.. And they're up on Facebook. But here are things that stood out for me:

  • Leaving a piece of luggage in the cab. Ah! Always check you have all your luggage before giving boyfriend a massive hug! If the nice cabby ever ever stumbles upon this, I am the girl who ran down Franklin St at midnight in my red coat and I would still like my bag back.
  • Seeing Tulloch, Suggy, Bec, Nikki, Liz, James, Dani, Marissa - learning more about tall Paul and seagulls, a certain infatuation for a musician and EATING TIBA's again!
  • Salt Pepper Chicken Ribs...
  • Giant dinner with the most random of crowds: Vong? Mark Hoo? Grace? May Lin? Tas? Stephen? Prateek? Jon? Allen? ... you got to admit it's a strange mix to be in Taco Bills
  • Yummy breakfast where i was told that i'm "lucky" to be allowed into the group. I MADE THE GROUP!!! (not over that yet)
  • Perusing the NGV... art galleries are the new in, yo.
  • An amazing double date day which involved lunch at my fave Pellegrini's, churches and the mesmerising Fitzroy Gardens
  • Dali exhibition where i found out that Dali is a sick, twisted, erotic man
  • Playing a few new games... It's lovely to not be pretentious and have to go out to be cool and have fun. What's wrong with good company and a gritty mental challenge?
  • The fellowship of the fitball and the Ladder theory - most definitely a highlight!
  • Watching all the goals in a Aus v Japan World Cup qualifier from near goalside. =D
  • Lunch at the pizza place. More cute guys and awesome canneloni. (Thanks Maybelle)
  • My favourite juice bar and the South American secret recipe juice...
  • Emasculating Aaron and Parkes at Madame Brussels followed by THE BEST SIEW YUK in Anada Tapas restaurant.
  • Cute Bartenders at Anada and Black n Pearl - skinny Robert Downey Jr.
  • Reliving IH bar with peppermint patties *yum*
  • Another AWESOME breakfast with the boys. Everyone must love English breakfasts!
  • Chatting with Pushpy, KK, Adrian, Evan... was good times being back in 301! and the antics never end, although you feel like an ah ma
  • Furious foursome Bang-ing after a nice home cooked meal in front of the tv at CC's place
Gosh, i miss melbourne already! Not least because there are no paranoid people screaming swine flu. A return is on the imaginary cards. Now to get over my fear of tiny uncomfortable Air Asia seats for long haul flights... Photos on FB

aaawww.. i did think about it, but it was kind of a squished dinner at the top of the staircase.
i still look back on that random pub excursion to melb central where you counted out (financially) why i should stay in melbourne and think that one is a fonder memory.
there will be other times, chin yee!
