-Balls?- (is that the word for more intense crying? o_O)

You get the point.

As of tomorrow 12:30pm, I will be leaving home to go to Hong Kong for a month long holiday. Scheduled to be back on the 31st of December morning, but possibly earlier than that as I have no place to stay for 2 nights towards the end of the holiday. We'll see...

I will be having birthday while I'm in HK. December 16th. No friends cept for one. o_O

I'm very happy that an awesome bunch of my friends threw me a surprise party for me today! Now we're even :iconjannettella:!!!

So my day...

:iconjannettella: took me to the Eureka Tower (tallest building in Melbourne for those of you who don't know) and we went to the SKydeck - the viewing platform. The lift up was CRAZY fast. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..., 88.  First impressions? No it wasn't a jaw-dropping moment, but it was definitely...very cool. We walked around the deck for an hour or so and photowhored the scenery (not myself).

Jannette was searching for a specific tree (named the Faerie Tree) in the Botanical Gardens from the viewing platform. I assure you...she's sane. -looks away-
In the meantime, I was going round the platform looking at mini toy trains, and an tiny Shrine of Remembrance.

Oh yes! I must point out that the toilets up there are really quite...interesting. Dark and uniquely designed. (Will put into my next design class =D)

Moving on...

So we went off to find this mysterious "Faerie Tree" somewhere besides the lake at the Gardens. We decided to cut through the Shrine as we thought that would be the shortest route. When we arrived, Jann stood down from the entrance, and started crab-walking from side to side. Hmm yes...sane she is.

Once we reached the visitors' center at the Gardens, she asked for the location of this "Faerie Tree".

"That's in Fitzroy Gardens." -dreams shatter-

So change of plan, let's go for a walk near the lake. And so we walked.

We got to a path where the lake was literally to the side, but Jannette insisted we keep going straight. Like everyone knows, never argue with women.

We basically walked back and forth a couple of times until Jannette suddenly skipped ahead and made a turn to the right.

-Switches goes on- Ahha!

I turn the corner and I see... 3 other of my uni friends under a pretty purple tree all geared up for a picnic! -feels special-

Food was plenty. Jann baked heaps. Barbie baked heaps. Drinks were plenty. Ohh...I'll get to the icecream.

Jann made wonderful apple pie, lamingtons and bananna bread.

Barbie made awesome cookies.

Now for the icecream. Someone bought a 2L of vanilla icecream. Today was at least 30 degrees. No cooler bag. No eskii (spellling?) You can probably guess. There wasn't much "ice" left in the icecream. It looked more like cake mix or cream...lots of it.

Yes we ate some of it until we decided it was best if someone took it home to freeze it again.

So there we sat; under a purple tree which showered flowers onto us. Tub of melted icecream, abundance of food and drink, with a group of friends. Good way to spend my last day in Melbourne for a month don't you think? =)

Present-wise - :iconjannettella: gave me a hardcore rubick's cube! DiY Black Rubick's Cube. Awesome present - in almost the perfect timing! Muhahaha! Now I can cut my solve down to hopefully under 60 seconds!

That was my wonderful day. Special thanks to Jannette :iconjannettella:, Barbie :iconbarbieee:, Anna :iconmisyo: and Michael for making it a very memorable day~!

Back to my HK rant.

I will miss you all. (except for :iconimari03:) Oh so mean. (By the way, nice job with your latest deviation.)

I will try my best to update my journal from HK if I have time. It could be my primary source of communication with the outside world. o_O

PS. I have learnt something from the Rubick's Cube. Life is a Rubick's Cube. We just need the right algorithms to solve it.
