First to Nandos.. Then to Bowling

After being in Melbourne for a couple of years, I am ashamed to say that I have never been bowling here. To be honest, bowling here is quite expensive compared to Singapore. For instance, it cost about $10 for the first game and another $5 for the second game. Three games can easily cost you about $20. So... in other words.. going bowling here isnt really a good idea unless you have deep pockets or extra cash lying around.

We headed to Nandos @ Rusden House first before heading to Chaddie. Rauds, Ruzi and I wanted to check out the new Nandos place and see if the place is worth a repeat visit. And safe to say.. YES IT IS!!~ In case you didn't know, Nandos in Victoria is Halal. But they will not claim it proudly like the restaurants in WA. You gotta ask them for their Halal certs if you wanna see it!!~

Anyway, luckily for us, it was MONDAY MADNESS @ AMF Chaddie. It costs only $10 for 3 games. Though, we still had to wait around for another hour and half for MONDAY MADNESS to begin. No worries.. Cause we still had some grocery shopping to do anyway..

I was hoping that they would switch the lights off so that we can play in the dark.. You know the whole Glow in the dark kind of thing.. And they did!! How cool is that?! Ok.. maybe cause this is my first time bowling in the dark.. im quite excited.. maybe after the next few times.. I might tone done..

So yah.. anywhooo... Looks like Mondays will be Bowling Night for us!!~

Australian Open 2008

Australian Open 2008... What else is there to say?! I didnt catch any matches cause it was too late. But i did get to see The Veronicas. Hehehe...

This is specially for Kisha & Nana!!~ When you guys coming to watch AO?!~

Paintball

OH MY GOD!! I am in soooOoooOoo much pain.. Haha.. Well kinda lah.. Just came back from playing Paintball. It was like a 3 hour drive to Moama, then had to spend 2 hours running around the field. It was like exercise for 1 month for me. Hahaha.. I couldnt breathe properly with the mask on. Nor can i see and think properly. It is so frustrating. Though paintball is really FUN!!

The early morning ride to Moama was a very long and tiring journey. We headed off about 5.45am and reached the Paintball field at about 9.30am. We were half an hour late but the people there were nice enough to wait for us. The gear was pretty awful as it kinda smell funny, esp the mask and they were pretty strict with the paintball guns as well. Mel & I bought a few more paintballs to share between us. I was so excited though abit worried about get badly injured.

The day was very, very HOT!! Ive NEVER sweated that much in my entire life in AUSTRALIA!! hahaha.. I'd say most of us had major bruising while some just had bits and pieces here and there. I got shot in the lips, thigh, head, shoulder, arms and hands. It is ALOT of fun!! You guys should go try it!! Hehehe.. Though the long ride to and fro was 3 hours long.. Thanks to everyone who came out and joined me for Paintball!! 'Till the next MAJOR convoy outing, i shall see you soon!!~

PS: Hope all of you had a good EASTER SUNDAY!!~

Rock Climbing, BISA & Ultra Outdoor

Oh my god!! I just came back from Rock Climbing and boy, am i tired & pumped @ the same time. Haha. Though i am pretty dissappointed in myself cause i still dont have the stamina to continue climbing. But it's alright.. Im still proud that i went up halfway.. Hehe..

It was probably one of the best event cause i get to go with ma frens from BISA. Almost all the committee members went on the trip and some international students. It was pretty good actually. We went to the same place i went last year, Hard Rock. After 2 hours of climbing, all of us were tired and hungry. I thought of heading down to Kayu which is nearby but apparently its closed on Monday. So what else but Mackers. How boring huh?! But what to do.. Hungry liao.. Hehe..

It has been a good night, spending it with good friends. But more importantly, i didnt need to drive all the way back to Berwick and then back home. Ruzi is SO nice to give Parid a lift home. Hehe.. Love you girl!! Well, Rock Climbing rocks especially in the company of friends. You guys should try it..

Me belaying.. Rock ON!!~

BISA Committee members!!~

Tennis.. Anyone?!

Played tennis for the first time today. Me, Mel & Nana & Sani... We all borrowed Sani's rackets just because he has a tonne of them!! Tennis is kinda hard but i guess its a new sport to me. Looking forward to playing tennis again in the near future!!~

Rock Climbing in Melbourne... & Happy 21st Birthday Mel!!

5th December 2006. Marked that date down. It was a special day for me. Finally, I went rock climbing in Australia. In Victoria. In Melbourne. Isn't it cool?! I have been excited since the day Melissa agreed to try rock climbing. That means I have a rock climbing buddy. Asked Sani if he wanted to come. He did. So we went. 5th December 2006. I can only hope that these 2 peeps would enjoy rock climbing as much as I did and would want to do it over and over and over again.

The closest rock climbing centre was at the corner of Springvale Road & Maroondah Hwy. It was indoors. It's alright. Climbing is still climbing. Hehe. We got there about 5.30pm due to the traffic jam. I forgot that it was peak period time. We should have left earlier. Anyway, I rented a harness, chalk bag and of course there was an entrance fee. It was totally awesome. I cant help but grin the rest of the day. It took me awhile to get the hang of it but within seconds I remembered the times I spent climbing in SP with ma friends. Oh how i miss them so much now.

It took me awhile to remember how to wear the harness. Then my rock climbing shoes. They were pretty tight.. Hmm.. New ones? Maybe? Wanna get a harness first though. Then, have to tie figure of 8 and do the double knot. And the 5-step belay technique. It's easy. I remember them all. Eventually. Hehe. I love rock climbing. And so did Sani & Mel. Im going to train my arm muscles again. The next time, Im going to be able to reach the highest peak. Insyaallah.

Next time. February 2007. Anyone wanna join us?!

Btw, Happy 21st Birthday Melissa Chow!! Hope you enjoyed the Rock Climbing experience!!~ Lova ya loads!!~ *HUGS*
