Melbourne City Roamers

It’s currently 8˚ out there~ the bread I was having almost freeze, feels like I had bread freshly made-out-of-the fridge… Yeah winter~ bloody winter is coming!! Most of the maple trees outside my house are shedding off and scattered dried leaves covered portions of the road; many ‘Botak’ can be found around the neighbourhood now~ the colours around are fading off slowly… Sleeping under the doona and hibernate is the best choice now!!

This is a late post, as I took too much of my own sweet time extracting and editing some elite take from the 800+ photos I had from my friends who came, so I decided to put them into one post!

For the past few years, I’ve always wanted to take some nice photos around Melbourne City as they have some unique old buildings and special features around but I don’t have the chance as I don’t have a good camera; my old 2.0 mp camera can only shoot crap and it always take too long to load after each shot *not recommended by Edison*~ so I gave it an indefinite holiday while I try to get a new one…

Our first stop is the city and when it comes to city + women, the result is easy~ the guys just have to find their own play toy while the ladies indulge themselves into the shopping Valley; the reason it’s not advisable to do it with them is because they all ask the same universal questions - “how do I look in this? Nice? Not nice? Really Nice? Really not Nice?!!” Okay… Never answer ‘not nice’ since the result is inevitable… the better way is to wait and ask them to chill for a photo session after that…

One of the reason I like Melbourne City is partly because of the lively street performers~ they range from lame to interesting performers; yeah, they all do that for a living. Some lame ones try to sing out loud polluting the environment, some do drawings and some even do speeches about God. Although I categorise them as lame, they are still good to have that kind of courage, I remember I made a post on my abandoned blog about an old man holding a gong at the heart of the city just gonging with random rhythm; then a kind Asian girl was praised as a goddess for giving one dollar - I think the old man did it in a nice way and he made her day~ I was giggling away when I heard that, I find her shock expression really funny…

These are some interesting and talented ones...

The gracious slow white – this is the name I gave her because her skilful slow movement on the upper part of her body makes her looks so gentle and genial – she just stands there for few hours! *Respected* Though it’s quite sickening to see her giving flying kisses to everyone and many were into her! Gorgeous?

This is the famous street singer and his name is George Blabla *I forgot* - well all I can say he sings well and he’s Japanese…

Saw that big horn? That’s the horn blower if I’m right… the rhythm created by it is not pleasant to me though but I know you need plenty of hard breathe to keep that thing working~ I’ll probably end up in hospital for more oxygen if I blow that for an hour but they can go on for hours…

And the last performer is the shortest creature in the world… she come from Venus name Venus~ she is a famous poser since she pose a lot in those photos I had! Hoho… Alright she’s my friend~

If this looks familiar to you - yeah I brought them to my favourite place - Cho Gao for my beer… so we chilled in there, chit chat and hang around~

My Johor Gang!

When I first got here, I was brought to Pancake Parlour and told that they have nice pancakes. For the fact that, I’m so Chinese that I seldom have this kind of food – all I did was ‘hmm… it’s nice!’ but in fact, it doesn’t taste special to me from those I bought from supermarkets. Anyway it doesn’t matter whether I know how to appreciate; the trend to introduce nice pancakes still goes on… I was told that Stokers is famous and nicer for its pancakes so we stoke it instead!

I arrived and I couldn’t find the shop! I thought it would be something like the parlour~

Then I was told not to judge by its cover – about pancakes to someone like me? *Hmm* I think I’m more interested in something like this though~

Me and Seng at Pancake Parlour~

Anyway, I like to try new things! It’s not as bad as I said, but the photos look nicer than the real thing~ and I believe they only specialise in pancakes because their drinks suck oh~! So hmm… they have nice pancakes.

Oh yeah, we planned to have cake after pancakes so to celebrate my housemate’s birthday that night but we were told that we are not allowed to have outside cake in there~ so took the cake back and there we are~ Cakie at home!

Once again... Happi Burstday Seng!

Happy times always end faster~ one week just passes like that – one blink and they are back to the airport again… so the next time we get to see each other might be end of the year.

Well… it was great fun having you guys here despite it made me feel like not working everyday… anyway below are some other nice photos…
