View from 88th

went for my breakfast/lunch/tea at little cupcakes on degraves with rachel last saturday. we girls all had a long good sleep after the previous night's clubbing session. i, gobbled down 5 mini sinful cupcakes, while rachel just sat and watch me eat.

i didn't want to go back to the boring apartment, so i suggested to rachel that we'd go visit the suburbs. but we couldn't think of any where to go, given that we only had approximately 3-4 hours. thanks to bb, we decided to visit the aquarium, and off we went! but we kinda walked past eureka tower, and thought that it would be a better place to visit.
to our surprise, there were so many people, we thought we'd be the only few bored souls. anyhow, we had to take a lift that travels at a speed of 9m/s, to the 88th level. it was super fast, much faster than college square's lift that only needs to travel from ground to the 10th floor.

the view from above was so pretty, rachel and i were so excited when we first reached. they had binoculars placed around the tower that allowed us to view the landmarks of melbourne city. i heard that the view at night is better.

there was a footy match going on. definitely must watch one this semester! :)

albert park, must go there soon too.

this the the edge experience. basically, you just get to stand in a glass box for approximately 5 mins. to enjoy the thrill of "standing midair", you have to pay 15 bucks and wait for an hour! rachel and i didn't try it, cause we found it rather lame.

coolest post box in australia. :)

thereafter, we went to ten ren for some milk tea and osyter omelette. very different from singapore's, but i like it. but it was really expensive though, 7.50 for just a pot of milk tea!

i'm so excited for the coming ski trip at falls creek this weekend. we'll be going to auski on thursday to rent our skiing equipment and shopping for food stuff to bring up to the mountains. :) it's going to be real cold, cause i heard that its snowing up there! yay, its been 8 years since i last saw snow.
