I always hesitate talking to you about my problems, I think I finally have enough to reassure myself you're not who I desperately wish you could be. You are not emphatic, hardly sympathetic and just really self-centred.
I thought I could make you a better person. Now when people ask me about you, I can be more certain about my answer.

Today's been a pretty strange day, I finally got to relax the entire day ~ I didn't go for brunch and I feel really bad about that..
Although I received a call and it contained good news and I was happy watching a new Korean drama "Oh My Ghostess" today felt off. I went for a long walk as well to .. I don't know clear my mind and whatever, but it didn't fully work I got sad again as I got home. WHY?!
Watched more drama, dinner was made for me, played some arams but still.. overall mood is bleah today. Guess I'll sleep it off.. ~

Saturday, December 19, 2015 - [Grad Trip Part 2]
AHHHH I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NAO AHHHH, WHERE DO I START ?! I'm gonna go back to front for abit :3
I MET ANNA TODAY! (by today I mean on Monday I wrote this draft in a haste that night :x) It feels like I've known her for eternity and I've been dying to meet her and it finally happened! Today was a great day !
14th Dec Monday
Anna showed up at my hotel entrance in the morning to pick mom and I up :3 I didn't really know what to expect except a HUGE smile because her display pics always contain a huge grin XD. Anna half-choked on her water when we came down because she didn't expect me to be so stunning, and also .. mom to look so young but mostly me.. :p
Anna despite being 3 years younger was behaving like my second mom -__- pretty much teasing me alot about everything ever D: and siding with my mom sometimes qq. Anna pats me like I'm a little child :c
We were headed for the zoo ! With my experience from previous days I sorta knew where the trams were going and I had been studying the map for a pretty long time the first two days huehue. The zoo was fairly big but honestly poorly organized. DON'T EVEN ARGUE WITH ME ANNA, IT WAS.
We kept coming back to the same places many times XD. Definitely, not my fault. I like zoos, and I'm not being biased but the Singapore is the best one ever :3 Dad said even the NYC or San Diego zoos aren't as impressive and he's seen the world! I recently went to the Australia Steve Irwin zoo as well and it was meh. :x Even the Lone Pine Sanctuary was better.
LEMURS :3
I SWEAR THERE'S 3 LEMURS AT LEAST IN THIS PICTURE BELOW. I can't see tho.. too asian.
The best part about this Melbourne Zoo was the Primates area, maybe because the animals were clearly visible there, also found Anna's new favourite animal, the GIBBON.
And a pretty cool relative of the Kangaroo, a Tree Kangaroo! Such original names :p
The gift shop was pre nice :3 many many many plushies, even a peacock one? O_O
For .. reasons..
We spent about 3 hours there ~ and sent Mom back to the hotel and I followed Anna back home to feed her little doge. It's so TINY! Compared to my beast back at home.. ahaha :3 Anna's got a pretty cool house, I could be living there in the future if I wanted. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. c:
I got to familiarize myself with lots of stations like Melbourne Central, Southern Cross, Flinders, Flagstaff, Footscray, I'm a pro now! We went back towards the city after to have Korean BBQ :3 It was my first time .. (why does that sentence sound so ..) and it was yummmm !
I went home a happy happy girl. ANNNAAAAAAA ♥
15th Dec Tuesday
I thought today would be boring but it wasn't :x Anna said she was busy so I was ): but she wasn't thaaaat busy. Mom and I explored Docklands in the morning, altho we had nothing planned and I wanted to sleep in til 12 or so, she violently pulled my blanket off and yanked the drapes open and flooded the room with evil evil sunlight at 8.30am to force me to sit with her at the breakfast buffet while I try to keep my head straight and sit upright.
I dived back into bed as soon as she was done but failed to sleep, well.. ...... so we went to Docklands to look at ... boats, and here's mine c:
anddddd back to the city to meet Anna who was done with her appointment ^-^ . I went over to her place again! But this time it was to sleep over :DDD We basically spent the rest of the evening watching "Oh My Ghostess" and skyping our respective .. it was funny XD .
I miss you Anna :cccc
I was able to fall asleep really quickly! But the sun, my enemy the sun just blinded me at 6am ish. Gaouehraoijfsldkaosrhio . Smile anyway!
16th Dec Wednesday
Anna and I headed back to my hotel so I could get changed! Coincidentally our tram passed Sinyean (my SPH colleague from 5 years ago) and he watched us go by... XD
We arranged to meet Jon, THE Jon Fister at Bourke Street, but for some reason he didn't know what H&M was. It took about 45minutes to locate him .. lots of walking back and forth and calling and texting XD Even Zewen, Anna's buddy that we met on the train was done with his morning activities and regrouped with us before we found Jon.
We had dumplings for lunch! and headed to the Escape Room that Anna had dragged us into :x Unfortunately no photos were allowed in the place so I can't show, use your imagination ! We entered the Vanished Carnival scene, we started off being blindfolded and led into the room one by one and getting handcuffed to the walls.
We had to solve number puzzles, patterns, codes, you name it, and we escaped after 33mins :D wheeee I don't want to spoil the experience, it's pretty amazing, try it if you get the chance !
We didn't expect to finish the escape room so fast after lots of debating we decided to go play Laser Tag! We headed to the Crown Casino and I experienced a slightly traumatic and upsetting tram ride. If I was alone then I would have jumped off the tram while it was still moving probably...
ANYWAY. Marc, Jon's brother was on his way to join us so we bought him some time and played bowling first! :3
We had a 30minute unlimited arcade credit as well as part of our .. I have no idea Action Package thingy.
Anna and I introduced Jon to the magical game of Bishi Bashi and we completed it! .. with .. refilling lives because unlimited credit XD
As I predicted, I was terrible at the game and I screamed every 5 seconds and resorted to having standoffs with people. The supervisor of the game found me so pathetic she even told me where the base targets were to help me gain points .. .. ..
I'm defintely Scorpion.
Zewen got so sweaty that he actually took his shirt off for a while as we walked down South Wharf or was it South Bank towards Flinders to catch a tram to the Queen Vic Summer Night Markets! And with his sweat soaked body he wore Jon's jacket O_O. oh my my, why do boys do that.
Dropped by the hotel but mom didn't wanna join us so we went ahead to the markets and joined the insane 50 people queue for the ATMs D:
I hope you've eaten.
And that concludes a terrific last day of Graduation trip.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. actually. Rewinding to before my three free days.
13th Dec City Tour
I remember being awfully awfully sleepy this morning, gosh I wonder why, I REALLY WONDER.
We started at .. Federation Square and saw the beautiful Forum theatre, St. Pauls Cathedral and Fitzroy Gardens, I was so, sooooooo damn sleepy, so no photos... D:
HOWEVER IN MY SLEEPYNESS I CAN STILL GIVE MINI HISTORY LESSONS.
Remember the explorer James Cook from the first part of this trip, for some reason I can't recall the government wanted to demolish his cottage but the people of Melbourne put some money together and they numbered every single brick on his cottage and brought it piece by piece and reassembled it in the Fitzroy Gardens.
:3 I bought a model of the Endeavour which James Cook sailed on ! foot for scale :x
We drove past the MCG, Melbourne Cricket Ground, and went to Queen Victoria Markets and got some souvenirsssss and then the best part, the walking tour around the city! As mentioned earlier, went to the massive Bourke Street Mall and visited the various arcades!
The Royal Arcade didn't appeal much to me so ... no pics :3 The Block Arcade is famous for its mosaic tiled floors. The guide said there are millions of spare tiles in storage to replace the broken or missing one so this place remains like this forever!
Centre Place Arcade had a special sunroof thingy which was honestly old and ugly so it doesnt deserve a picture XD onward to Degraves Street, full of cafes!
12th Dec Great Ocean Road
DAY 1 OF MELBOURNE :x
It was a day of 520km of driving, thank god for free wi-fi on the coach and reclinable chairs!
We had a little pitstop after driving through GeeLong on to Anglesea. The coach driver and guide actually set up a little table and made hot tea for us because we were all sooooo cold x_x.
The G.O.R, well 64km of it was built by 3000 men over 14 years. The road cut a path through the mountains because there was this little town at Apollo Bay (I think) that was a great holiday destination and there was no road leading there. After World War 1 all the army boys returned and were jobless and needed money so the government created the G.O.R initiative :3
Mom and I got on a Helicopter Ride to get an aerial view of the 12 Apostles (actually 18, now 7), Lord Ard Gorge and the Thunder Caves.
The story of the shipwreck at Lock Ard Gorge is kinda sad. See the part where there's alittle slice into the island on the right. A ship crashed there and there was a 17 year old girl on board with 5 brothers and sisters and her parents. All but 2 of 52 passengers aboard that boat died when they crashed there. The girl was one of them and the other was a sailor. After climbing ashore they were found by some local farmers, the farmers tried their hardest to search for the bodies but they only retrieved one of the girl's sisters and her mother and 2 more sailors. The rest of the bodies have never been found.
OKAY REALLY NOW, end of grad trip with mom! :3 But before I end, yesterday was a pretty chill day with bae. I was far too lazy to dress up tho
We tried to a watch a movie on the beach but it was wayyy too crowded so we just windowshopped instead :3
I MET ANNA TODAY! (by today I mean on Monday I wrote this draft in a haste that night :x) It feels like I've known her for eternity and I've been dying to meet her and it finally happened! Today was a great day !

LEMURS :3
I SWEAR THERE'S 3 LEMURS AT LEAST IN THIS PICTURE BELOW. I can't see tho.. too asian.
wombats were all sleeping :c
The King was also sleepy.
Otters never disappoint tho, in every zoo, they're always active :D !
The best part about this Melbourne Zoo was the Primates area, maybe because the animals were clearly visible there, also found Anna's new favourite animal, the GIBBON.
And a pretty cool relative of the Kangaroo, a Tree Kangaroo! Such original names :p

Inbetween the Block and Centre Place Arcade is this Majorca Building, although only 8 storeys high, it was once the tallest building in Melbourne! Also back then you'd have to be very rich and very fit to live at the top because there were no lifts! XD
Centre Place Arcade had a special sunroof thingy which was honestly old and ugly so it doesnt deserve a picture XD onward to Degraves Street, full of cafes!
Last stop, Flinders Station!
Melbourne was once the richest city in the world because of the Gold Rush. With the money from the Gold, the government was able to build some really fancy buildings such as the Flinders Station and the Forum theatre (I'm really sorry no picture of that one!) The tall building in the background is called the Eureka Tower. The very top bit which has a black box is actually gold but looks black in the sun!
I love Melbourne, there are horsies on the road!

Bae and I had our traditional Paella lunch and we cut our hair together!
We tried to a watch a movie on the beach but it was wayyy too crowded so we just windowshopped instead :3
Typical market stuff, handmade crafts, candles, food, clothes, pet stuff, dreamcatchers, jewelry, but this one miniature toy stall was cool :3
Hair doesn't even look any different XD
Also, saw one of these today, fwaaaa.
