what i've been up to.
Because ppl have been complaining that i've not updated in eons..( bleah, no time siah, gen med is just killing me through and through)... tada. here's some token photos and captions. 
Preeeettty tulips that Ef got me for my bday. :P very distracting. I"m a newly converted flower person.. Preeety Pink Tulips!
Ef and me at the Braissere at Crown. Photo taken moments before we did the amazing race ( dash) to his car and attempted to get to the show Chicago in less than 1/2 hour. Needless to say, i had to beat a few red lights and do this incredibly unglamourous dash on high heels to the theatre. To the cut the long story short, we were still late. LOL. Thankfully, we were only left out for 10 minutes and not until the intermission.

Birthday weekend.. ef planned a trip to mornington. It was great..SUch a relief to get out of the city and just kick back and relax. i never realised that Victoria actually had such beautiful places. Shows just how much i've travlled around victoria in my 7 years here in melbourne.
We set off realy early for mornington hot springs.. quite an interesting experience. The crowd who were patronising the place were quite varied. THere were the families with their young kids in tow, gaggles of teenage to young adult girls, elderly folk and young couples like ourselves. . We started off in the 38 deg pool, which was comfortably warm, and the moved around the various hot springs, each boasting increasingly warm temperatures.. I was wondering why ppl were sitting ardn the 42 deg pool and not in it. It was until i dipped my foot in that i understood why. Ouch. definitely not a pool you'd wanna cannonball into. unless you had a death wish of becoming quite nice and toasted. DIdn't take photos coz i 'd to leave my camera in the locker room.
We then drove along and stopped at teh strawberry farm where we picked our own strawberries. gosh, the last time i went to sunnyridge was in year 2 with aiai, lz and nic! ages ago! I was dreaming abt the homemade icecream ( smth i've been craving for since year 2) mmmm... We then drove on towards Rye. The beach at Rye was gorgeous. We had fish and chips by the sea ( while been eyeballed by a huge flock of hungry seagulls, one which contemptiously shit on my left foot coz we didn't feed them). The sea was just a brilliant aqua colour. i was so tempted to jump in. If only the weather wasn't that cold.
We then check out our accomodation, ( see above) this realy rustic cottage settled next to a backpacker's accomodation. It was awesome. Had DVD player , bbq pit and all, and was a stones throw away from teh beach.
We then beach hopped.. went to sorrento and had the famous vanilla slice while lounging by the beach ( watched.. as usual by teh omnipresent sea gulls)
Then went to another beach which had magnificent cliffs and was deliciously unspoilt by touristy features. It was freezing tho'..
The next day, we had breakie in sorrento, then took the ferry to Geelong and drove home from there. It was lovely.. thanks dear for the bday prezzie.. had a great time!
