Eureka shines

Well... it is the one of the most expensive apartment in Melbourne. So it make sense it shines. However, little will I expect that Eureka will shine literally!

Deja Vu

I was cleaned and ready to get out for lunch. I was at the door step wondering whether to take the train or tram. 10 seconds later, my watch suggested otherwise. It was 11:30am and lunch with Gerald was on 12:30pm.

What would I do downtown with the extra time I had? Surf net? Chat msn? Do push ups? Continue with my book...? Na, I took a stroll by St Kilda road, from Prahran. Had my scarf all over my neck, ipod tuned on, I got out from the apratment and started my one hour excursion.

As I was walking on the pathway. I had this Deja Vu feeling. It looked so familiar, somehow I felt that I had been here before. Well... It can't be. That was my first walk. The sun was shining brightly up in the sky. I don't think was 撞鬼. Anyway, I will somehow remember. I took my baby out and took a snap.

Now... I remember. It was the usual strasse I took to got to Old Town from my place. Thinking about it, there are many places in Melbourne that is quite similar to Graz. I wonder what are the guys doing now, it is a nice time to swim in the lake...

Sydney visit

What a surprise in the last minute, my interview was rescheduled to Melbourne and it appeared to be too late then for me to cancel my flight. So plan changed, Sydney will be a plan B = vacation.

I had been Sydney couple of times, but little that I like about the place. Dirty? Messy? Ugly? Yes, but not so. I just simply didn't like it. So knowing that I will be there for couple of days, I wasn't really in the mood. Well, thought about it throughly, at least I could caught up with Caleb and that would make most of my days.

I hadn't seen this fellow for over two years now and was really glad when I finally see him. Same old Caleb, the only major difference, he has a girl friend now. Grace = sweet and funny. They make a fantastic couple. *hahahaha~*

Grace and Caleb

The couple days in Sydney had been all about the beach, city and books.

The coastal walk path from Coogee Beach, passed Coverley Beach, Gordon Bay and Tamarama Beach to Bondi Beach was great. The view was picturesque and multi million worth. *I bet the town houses, apartments, cemetery... cost a bomb...* Then wandering around the city... Just like any other city, and this was just another one. Thus most of my time, I dwell within Kunikunya. I so hope that they will have their foot in Melbourne one day. The books were fantastic and in such a short time, I blew my wallet for four. Now, I am so down with $... Few more meals with bread... *cry*

Well, I could say this trip has been great and Sydney isn't as bad after all... *smile*

Seven Mile Fragrance

Walking along Drummond Street, passing by the old Victorian terrace, running across the zebra crossing, under the same sky, same tree, same time... and for a moment I stood. Where was the refreshing fragrance from the Common Jasmine Orange? *One of favourites, a flower who has a beautiful name in my mother tongue, Seven Mile Fragrance (七里香)*

Still remember the day, I stepped foot at Drummond. It was bad and depressing, just simply down emotionally... Somehow, at that spot, I found smile and spirit to keep me going. It was the therapeutic fragrance. Since then, I stopped for couple of seconds and had a few deep breath every time I passed.

This noon, I was there again, but the fragrance was no where to be found. Lost, lost one day, today. I stood and tried to search. I only saw the flower faded. Couple of petals had fallen, couples had turned yellow, couples had... I looked up into the sky, gloomy and only had little sun light beamed through the mist of clouds. Then, I noticed the tree leaves by the streets had slowly coated with a greenish yellow texture.

It is autumn.

It was spring around this time last year, I was in Graz. I am in Melbourne now. With the fragrance disappeared in the air, it took away big piles of my sadness and sorrows. Out of the blue, I hand my hands high up and clapped couple of times, thinking that some of the leaves might fall. It had not. *smile*

I looked at my watch. I fastened my pace. I was late. The guys would be complaining... and they did. At least, I am much happier now. *smile*

4 years

The last time was 4 years ago, then I was quite young, not even 21. Not knowing where I was, just remember the fun of digging out pi pi from the coast sand, throwing sand balls, doing some surfing moves, swimming in the chilly sea water, and got my first taste of shivering to my very bones...

4 years since, I was back again. Now I know her name, Venus Bay. Strolling on the same beach, beach no.5 and did the same thing. However, something more than just the same old smile on my face. Trying to get over the ache, trying to see what's right, trying to understand maybe it just ain't to be, trying to find the way in a dark path...

Things are different, it should be, after all it has been 4 years...

36 hours of high school reunion...

Jian Hong: "We just decided to drive down to KL, you wanna join?"
Mel: "Are you gonna pick me up?"
Jian Hong: "Yes, be there in half an hour..."
Mel: "Alright."

It had for sure a long while since the last time we got together. Myself being wandering around somewhere in the world, Zhan Peng spending most of the time on the ship, Fui stuck in Sydney, Boon and Jian Hong working in Singapore...

An hour later, I found myself on the car heading down to KL. All of a sudden, this had became a high school reunion. So unplanned reunion call for unplanned schedule. We took us more than 24 hours to reach KL, where normally 4 hours will be more than enough.

Why took so long... Considering a visit to the palm factory on the road, then having laksa and otak at Muar, followed by handing some hampers to someone and had some coffee with a friend... When we reached the county border, someone suggested to Genting. Thus, Genting would be then. While the guys stuck in the casino, I went straight to bed.

The same day, few hours later, time to check out... we dropped the key and went for some morning coffee. Finally when we reached KL... Great things happened... We were lost... Luckily, with a hand drawn map that hardly help and guessing + wild luck, we got to our destination, Mid Valley. While not so much of shopping, but just visiting some high school mates.

In less than 36 hours time, we were back in JB. So, Valentine was actually a high school reunion.

Chilly and beautiful Prague.

Prague Old Town

Prague was not as cold as Graz, smart I was to put on just a thin jacket. Waiting at the tram stop for less than 5 minutes, I could already feel my bones shivering. I could not help rubbing my hands on the jacket. Although the dorm was just 5 minutes away, yet I was too lazy *Yeah yeah... Served me right... Laugh~*

Unlike the usual description of winter Prague, I was blessed with bluish clear sky and a sunny bright morning. Other than the cold, it was all fine~ I was in a good mood to explore. I started with Prague Castle. Although I am very sick of castle, this would be an exception. After all, it is listed as the largest ancient castle by World Guinness Record. It worth the time I guess... Swiftly, I signed up for a guided tour.

Guided tour is like a two sided blade, it can be either dreadful or pleasure, it all come down to the guide. If the guide mutters like my high school Bio teacher, it will be a pain. Somehow, they always have a unmistakable successive way in hypnotising me. There was no once that that I never dozed off. Fortunately, the guide for the trip was quite good, engaging and interactive. As we slowly walked, we passed through the Royal Garden, the President Office, the Cathedral of St Vitus, St Wenceslas and St Adalbert, the Basilica of St George, the Golden Lane... The 2 hours tour seemed short and we had gone through topics like histories, people, architectures, arts and politics. Also, seen bit and pieces of Prague. It was quite enjoying. After to tour, I headed up to the cathedral tower. There, a 360 degree view of Prague. It was windy and chilly, but the scene had captured my mind for while. It was sometime later that I finally realised I had been on the same spot for a long time. As the fog got thicker, the sun gradually lost in the mist, only beams of light broke through. Prague was gradually getting back to it usual winter self.

Stepping out of the castle, I took a path along Vltava and headed to the King Charles Bridge. Like any other tourists, when I reached St John of Nepomuk, I touched the statues. As it said to bring good luck *I will need luck for the coming year in all ways. Not superstitious, yet superstitious can be. Again, I am not Catholic, does it count? Smile...* By that time I reached the old town, my stomach was groaning. Time for for some nice Czech food. It was only a short one day, but the beauty of Prague has captured my heart. For many times, even when my hand was frozen, I would bear the pain to hold my camera with the mini tripod, *Seriously, it was a mixture of numbness and burnt...* Trying to keep the moment in a photo. However, I think the photos were not as nice and I will try again later. *Crossed fingers.*

Heading to Prague

Train journey can either be fantastic or dreadful, depending on circumstances. For the past few trips, it had been bad. I guess the lack of sleep, constant transiting and rushing were mainly the reasons. After few nights of good sleep *Nothing much to do, as no shops were opened for 24th, 25th and 26th...* I was in a good mood, ready for the my trip to Prague.

Hopping on the train 10 minutes earlier, I took my time to choose a comfortable seat by the window and started to idle. Not before long, the train departed Graz. As compared to previous years, Graz was warmer and no snow to be seen even during the festive season. In a way, I was quite disappointed. I was hopping for a snowy Christmas and it failed. Somehow, my train journey comforted me slightly.

The train went around the mountains, passed through the valleys and went through the tunnels. Every time when the train came out from the tunnel, it was a different scenery. Once, it was the snow covering the wide grass field and I could see people gliding down the hills. Suddenly, the snow was no where to be seen. Then, there was thick fog around the valley, which peaks were not able to be seen and snow holding still to the branches. Just when I thought this was it, the fog was gone and the sun came out, while setting down west. The bluish, reddish velvet sky was like a postcard. The views just switched so unexpectedly.

As the night coming darker, I went for a snooze. All of a sudden, a gal and a guy dropped in my cabin. They came in and initiated a conversation out of the blue. I was surprised and did wonder whether it was a con. Later, it turned out to be such a great accompany. I joined their mates in another cabin. We talked a lot of stuffs, from traveling to studies, politics, philosophy, cultures, languages... till singing national anthems, folk songs and pop musics... sharing foods... Then to the events that the gals started to hit on some soldiers and a fellow who looked like Jesus the Christ. *smile* It was great fun.

All good time passed quick and when I checked for the time, we were already in Prague. The first impression, Prague is clean, clean and clean. From the main train station till the metro and on the streets heading to the hostel, it is noticeably clean. So far, everything has been nice, no hiccups, the receptionists have been friendly and I guess this will be a wonderful trip. *crossed fingers*

Bored in Florence

After eight months, I guess I am getting bored of traveling. I am in Florence and I am feeling bored. Sitting in front of a computer and writing my blog. *I sense danger... I can smell gun powder. Someone is planning to shoot me at the head for blar blar and blar...* Having said so, I do like Florence, much better than Venise. At least, no more boat trip. *smile*

Strolling lazily around the old town, I simply felt that Florence was kinda different, but I could not tell how exactly.

Like any other European city, most tourist attractions are located in the old town area and is more or less in a walking distance. *If you only plan to visit the city, do not waste your money on the 24-hour ticket...* While the unlike part is that most likely you will have to pay for the entrance and reduction price is only for EU members. Places like Giotto's Tower and Palazzo Vecchio will be good one to pay for. The first one will give a panaromic view of Florence and later the history of Florence. A bad example was Borgello, the national museum... There were only three floors n the museum. The floors aren't as big as the floors in Louvre and one was closed for renovations. Less than an hour, anyone would finish it... *Felt cheated...* Oh ya, seeing Ponte Vecchio from Pento S. Trinita at night time can be nice.

Giotto's TowerGiotto's TowerPonte Vecchio

The good thing to travel during winter, is that there are less crowd as compared to summer time. *Even so, there were still many people on the streets...* Thus accomodation is easier to get on last minute and don't need to experience sardin. The bad thing is less exhibition means some places are closed for public and not a good time to cycle to the suburbs. *Unless you feel like ice cream, then be it...* A visit to the country sight can be fantastic, too bad...

One thing to be aware of is to be sure of the price before you buy anything. I bought an waffle without knowing the price and it cost me $8 Euro. *While I know... only I the fool would get tricked... sob... sob... sob...* Also, if you wanna be debt free, do remember to leave your credit card at home and just bring enough cash. Or else, be sure to prepare to pay off your debt for the next 12 months. Things are absolutely super deliciously tempting and pricey. I saw two jeans and I love it, priced at $450 Euro in total. Luckily, I have the M key in Austria. I can imagine if I have the access, it would for sure be more than that... *Like... the Bally leather bag, the Energie jeans, Mandarin Duck luggage bag... Which one to start... how to end...* Thinking the position I am in now, I cannot be more fortunate enough... *I guess need to go through more meditation session, not so discipline...*

A little bit of this and that in Venice

Main Square

Not knowing a single thing about Venice, *While I do know it is sinking and gonna be another Atlantis soon...* I bought a cheap ticket and headed straight down south to Italy. It was only 4 days since I flew back from Glasgow, I was still yet to recover. *I am becoming a Chinese national treasure ----> Panda~* Sitting on the train for seven hours and only had 4 hours sleep before that, my brain was hardly functioning. The lucky thing was nothing bad happened.

When I finally arrived at the main train station, I swiftly headed toward the hotel and checked in. *Hehehe~ It was only a one star hotel and was really cheap $18 Euro a night. What a bargain~* The receptionist was good enough to give me some advises and helped me to arrange my accommodation in Florence. Once everything settled, I took the bus to Venice island. It would be a waste if I went to bed then.

Venice island wasn't really big. Roughly half a day was more than enough to walk around the Island and was pretty easy to get around. One would hardly lost one's way, as the island would be packed with tourists, like me, even during the winter. The drizzling rain and cloudy weather weren't stopping anyone to this super touristy island. Thus, as long as you are with the crowd, you will be doing fine.

Hehehe... Forget what it is...Pigeon rackMask for the masquerade festivalChurch in front of a Venice canal

Walking along the lanes and by the canals, there were typical things one would notice.

Firstly, there would always be huge bunch of people dragging their luggage while doing sight seeing. They would be using a luggage with attached trolleys. The sound, "grong... grooongg... groooooooooonggggg..." Never seemed to stop.

"grong... grooongg... groooooooooonggggg..."

Secondly, things are exceptionally ex ex ex ex ex ex expensive, nothing was cheap. I made a mistake when buying a pastry. I did not notice the damn chocolate pastry was sold based on weight not quantity and ended up paying at least four times more expensive than usual. The toilet was five time more expensive and with that price I could buy at least 3 liter of mineral water... Cash seemed to drain out so fast, in a way, I did not seem to understand.

Thirdly, there was hardly any night live on this island *More or less... Wait till I post the evidence and you will know the was-told-most-vibrant night life square...* and everything closed at 8:00pm.

was-told-most-vibrant square

Fourthly, there was Bata on the Island. Not one, but at least two branches that I had since saw. Mannn... I really did not know anything about this. All my life, I had thought Bata was a Malaysian brand and always had this impression of it closing down anytime. Hell... One of the last thing I would have expected to see here.

...

Frankly speaking, Venice did not impress me as much as I would have anticipated. Well... The churches were marvelous, but there are tons of churches across Europe that are nicer and bigger. Hmmm... The shopping street was nice and I was so tempted to buy a bag, *Sigh... I didn't have enough cash with me... Cry...* but there are for sure better place to do such thing... Errmmm... I guess the last one would be romantic and hell care when I was travelling by myself. *smile~* Oh ya, Venice has tons of canal and boats.

Talking about boats, a tip for future traveler. I would suggest only to buy the 24 hour ticket if you are planning to visit the islands surrounding Venice island. Don't bother to buy it, if you only plan to stay on the Venice island. Unless, you are too lazy to walk. So far, I only been to 3 islands. Burano, a place full of vibrant color houses and nothing else. Murano, a place full of ridiculously expensive glass wares and houses almost looked like collapsing anytime. Cemetri, a fortress island full of dead men in grave, six feet under.

Rainy day

Finally arriving at dear Glasgow had been great, seeing my cousin sisters, Diana and Julia~ I couldn't feel my smiles fading off.

Surprisingly, they are as short as before *laugh out loud... Sorry, I am mean...* but smart and pretty as usual. The last time I saw Julia was beginning of the year, when mom decided to pay his eldest sister a visit in Puchong. It was great then and listening to to how my aunt hantam *hit the hell out of in Malay...* some fellow, the stories on how their houses were rebuilt and contractor ran away~ *My aunt is no way near 160cm and skinny like a skeleton, but she is one you never want to mess with...* Then, there was Diana, the last time we met was few years back at my cousin's wedding. It has certainly a long while...

Although it is great to meet up with them, till later with Dylan and Jamie, but the rain... I was wet all the time... *Curse!* Till the 3rd day, I finally decided to buy an umbrella, or else how would my hair survive the shitty weather, cold + super windy + wet.

The very moment after I bought the umbrella, the rain stopped. The following few days, the weather became better and better till today. It rained like hell and the wind was damn strong... Just watched the news recently, there was tornado in London... I hope it don't hit here...

Long flight to Glasgow

Finally I managed to get back to the dorm at 4:00am in the morning.

The good things were, the great company with Sophie, Zi-jing, Stefan and two little kiddos... And a HD for work performance~

The bad things were, I had not packed my bags, my dorm contracts ended then and flight was leaving in 7 hour time... ... ...

Quickly, I awakened from my fantasy and started to clean up my place. At one point I was so sleepy and I really needed to sleep. Woke up three hours later, I found myself with panda eyes and my trunks were no where to be done sorting. Leaving no choice, I woke Stony and asked for his permission to leave my stuff here for the moment till I fly back to Graz. Luckily, he said yes. So, I swiftly put in some clothings and stuff in the back pack. Then rushed out the door and headed to Asia for breakfast. *For Buddha's sake, it was gonna be a freaking long trip to get to Glasgow...*

I waited at the bust stop for more than 1.5 hours for the bus + 2 hours waiting at the Graz airport + 2.5 hours to London + 6 hours waiting time + 1 hour to Glagow + 1 hour to Glasgow city... = 14 hours to reach Glasgow...

By the time I went to bed, it was 3:00am in the morning. My brain was floating, my eye lips were half opened and my body was exhausted... ZzzzZzzZzzzzZZZZzz...

Good to be in Glasgow, seeing and chatting to my cousin sisters. It had been a while since then...

Never a good place to be alone

Everyone will know that Paris is the the city of love, so pretty much says the reason of the article. You see, couples were like everywhere. If anyone threw a stone down the street and you didn't hit a couple, I would ________ *Please fill in, but whether or not I will do it, have to depend on my mood... *

Although I dwelled within the library, I did wander around the city. The days were bad, with gloomy, drizzling, cloudy and sad piece of dung, I was totally not in any mode to take any photos. *One can say that this is a represent of Paris during the Autumn Winter. Who cares, I don't care... I still prefer day with blue sky... * However, the night could be total different.

For many times, I revisited the same place just to get some nice shot on the Paris night. There are so many spots where one could have a panoramic view of the city. The sparkling lights from the buildings, cars, lamps and the drizzling night added a nice touch. You see, it would be good to share it with someone. Frankly speaking, it does not need to be boy, it can be with friends as well. How boring it can be when I being the only one who is excited about the night scene. So folks, don't worry... I will post the photos once I get back to Austria~ *smile*

Queuing and queuing...

One thing about Paris was the constant waiting and queuing, everywhere I went, if it was something special, more or less there would be a queue. Some people had told me that the autumn and winter period will be less a pain, I guess it was like a reduction from maximum to 50%. By the end of the day, lining up was still mandatory.

You see, I hate lining up as it was such a waste of time. However, being a good global citizen, I have to do so. *Every time I had the wicked idea, somehow something would happen to remind me not to do so... Story for another time...* So, one will start to ask, "why queue then?"

Alright, here's my answer...

If I don't' queue to get in Museé de Louvre, could I say I had been to Paris? If I don't queue to get up Arc de Triomphe, could I say I had been Champs de Elyse? If I don't queue to get up Eiffel Tower, could I say I had seen Paris? ... The list would go on...

Anyhow, the weather in Paris had been really bad. There wasn't a day that it didn't rain, most of the time, I was half wet. *@#$%&... It was only 30 minutes before taking the train the Charles De Gaule that the sky shined with blue sky...* Advice to all future Paris traveler, bring an umbrella. So being an obedient tourist, visiting the sites and contributing to the economy did keep me dry for moments.

Autumn in Slovenia

Mountain view in Kranjska Gora

Frankly, the winter Central Europe Convention was not very well organised. *Sorry guys… If you see this…* I was expecting something more serious, but apparently not, it was merely a social event.

Well… there are some workshops. However, could that be classified as workshop? It was more a discussion group and experience sharing session. *Probably it was different in other groups, but mine was… Ahem…* Facilitator only did an ok job in managing and leading the discussions.

After splitting to smaller groups, my team was very enthusiastic in the discussion and came out with great points after sufficient debates and thinking. When we were asked to present, we were merely requested, “Can you put in one word?” *That pretty much said a lot…* I replied with a mono tone, “Unless further explanations are attached, it will be too shallow to put everything in one word.” Basically, our comments were ignored in the end and I couldn’t be bothered to involve in the following session. *I was sketching some funny stuff on the paper… while the facilitator was into her flower and pie building… Trust me, you don’t wanna know…* I guess my group took her too serious and was too much for her. Everything was and intended to be done on a very surface level. *While... u could also say I was harsh or what... Doesn't bother me...*

The night parties were nice. The first night was usual like, while the second night had an international flavour. *Will skip the first night, nothing much to say… Hmmm… yes the music was bad most of the time, but the company was great~*

On the second night, delegates were asked to bring local specialties from their region. Knowing Europeans for quite sometime now that basically means bring all your local wines, beers and schnapps, the amount of alcohol would sure to KO Mr. Kidney. Sticking to my no alcohol policy, *… with font 3 by laws, ‘…with the exception of wine’* I had some wine, other than that, just juice and water~ *the dining hall was full of stoned zombie the next day… ermmm… some were still in bed * Also, foods like dips, cheese, bacon, sausages, pancakes, pastries, chocolate… were available. I have to said my favourites were the pumpkin seed oil stirred fried with shredded onions and eggs from GRAZ~ and the Swiss smoked salmon role. I wasn’t at the dance hall most of the time, I was chatting on a comparatively quieter area with some guys from Slovakia and America. *Again I stressed my total dislike on Bush administration, but hey~ nice conversation with another American~*

My bed was calling me and with my eyes lip half closed, I didn’t stay late for both nights. By 12 midnight, I was already on bed, reading the Paris guide and slept roughly an hour later. Also, I was suffering from starvation during the convention. It wasn’t the shortage of food, it was the timing… I had to wait 3 hours more than usual for the meal. My stomach was groaning like hell, if there were McDonald or whatever around, I would have hell care to wait and went to get some food. *I am Mr No McDonald and I was desperate enough to go for McDonald… I hate to be hungry… sob… sob… sob…* I just wanna take some rest. Alright, it is fair to say that I was anti social as well.

Mel not happy with McDonald...

Regardless my mixed feelings toward the convention, I was happy to be in Slovenia. I met some friends, who I hadn’t seen for sometime, *kisses and hugs as usual* just felt great seeing the gals again. Then, we spent sometime in the national park near Kranjska Gora and the beautiful lake city, Bled. *I will let the photo says it beauty~*

National Park near Gozd Martuljek
The river bank where I am standing now dried up... not sure why...

Walked through the canyon~

Some things I have to mention about Bled are their wedding tradition and a dessert.

Newly wedded couple will take the wooden boat across the lake, to the island that situated in the middle of the lake. From the dock, there will be a 100-step-stoned staircase lead to the church. The groom will carry his bride with his hands and walk up the hill, to the church. By the church, there will find a robe, which they can use to sound the church bell for good wishes and luck for their marriage. So sweet~~ *… Hmmm… where is boy…* But again, if the groom is half the weight of the bride, then dead mannnn… the groom is gonna get crushed. *Hahahahahaha~~*

The, it was this cream cake. Fantastic!!! It might not look as great, but the taste was wonderful. One layer of crunch pastry with sparkled sugar powder, one layer of light cream and one layer of vanilla pudding… No too sweet nor oily, so tempting~

Anyway, I am thankful to be there~
