Australia Day

yday was a good day for me :)
it was Australia Day. although i'm still not very sure wat's the history behind this day, but some ppl said it's a day when Australia was declared as a country, some ppl said it's a day for ppl to celebrate for Australia.
anyways, me, SuangSuang, ChorTeck, HweeNgee and Alan went to the ppl's march in the morning at Swanston St. not many organisation took part, but it's quite interesting to see the different culture in Aus, Melb.
then we walked down towards Alexandra Gardens, de tour to the food court at South Yarra for lunch. watched a street performance there after lunch, when bird poo dropped on my arm! >.<
and I stepped on the muddy grass outside National Art Gallery with my slippers on (luckily i didnt' wear my near shoe!).

Activities at Alexandra Gardens are mostly for kids. eg rock climbing for kids, playground for kids, kite drawing, Melbourne Fire Brigade (MFB = My F***ing Balloon says ChorTeck! haha! MFB were giving out balloons, posters and wristband that day)

we all went home for some rest before meeting up again (without Alan) for dinner and fireworks.
So i went home to reinstall english version of win and it works :) so now this new cpu is pretty much set up. except that i couldn't get my songs back from the old HD :( and good that i burned my photos onto the cd before i left for home in dec.

the fireworks were at Alexandra Gardens, Fed Sq and Eureka tower. we were at the princess bridge (i think it's called) watching the fireworks. Not as spectacular as Commonwealth games (of course lar) but quite nice also. :)


watched a bit of the Australia Open women's single final just now.
Serena Williams won the match. i teared when she's giving her speech at the presentation. I hope that one day i can also be on a big stage thanking my parents, and make my parents feel proud of me. :)

and those interviews after each tennis match are actually my fav part of these tennis matches :)
