Victoria Market
Jus and I went to Victoria market on Saturday for brekkie and to buy food for dinner. Normally Ill order the popular bratsworth sausage but i decided to be a little more adventurous that day. Decided to get a mini pizza from the stall next door.
I ordered the typical hawaiian pizza. Guess I wasnt too adventurous after all. I might try the pumpkin pizza next time.
I detest birds! I placed my food on the table and disappeared for a mere two minutes to look for Jus and the birds ate my untouched pizza!!!! It's disgusting. I couldnt stop glaring at the seagulls for the next 5 minutes - hoping that my glare would guilt-trip them. I was going to eat the two untouched slices but I remember watching a man dying in one of Dr. House's episodes because of some bacteria that ravens carried. See, who says Dr. House is uneducational.
A good coffee makes my day =)
Heck, i decided to eat the two untouched slices. I have medical insurance anyway.
Kidding, Jus bought me a new one.
Southbank
I decided to take a stroll by myself at Southbank yesterday. It was one of the best evenings I had. I love talking to random people and obversing the sights and sounds.
Flinders St Station - One of the main train stations in melbourne. I love the perspective of this picture.
Southbank - the Yarra river
Kids buskers at Southbank. Instead of giving my kids allowance next time, Ill make them busk! haha. Start them young. Teach them the value of money.
I spent a good 20 minutes talking to this painter. Its his first time painting such a huge art piece. I love the vibrancy of the colours. I asked him what the painting meant. He said freedom and also because he simply like Jap carps.
100 metres away, I spotted a huge crowd. There was a mini game going on. Basically, you have to cycle from one white line to the other white line without falling off the bicycle. Sounds too easy huh? Heres the catch - the bicycle's mechanism have been reversed. To turn right, you have to steer left and to turn right, you have to steer left. If you manage to cross that 3 metres without falling off, youll win 100 dollars. Sounds too easy! Many gungho guys took part in the competition, but they couldnt even make the first 10 centimetres. Its harder than it looks. I spent a good 40 minutes laughing at them :P haha.
That was one bad fall.
Watch one of the participants
Watch the expert do it. He make its look too easy.
The onlooking crowd. I love public entertainment. Suddenly all barriers were broken. Frowns were replaced by lines of laughter. Everyone was cheering for the participants. Melbourne seemed even more beautiful that day.
