Another magnificent seaside or you can called it beach is at Mornington, Frankton.. About an hour drive from the city.. There’re plenty stuff to do in frankston such as Winery and wine tasting.. plucking strawberries and cheeries when they are in the season.. going to the maze and botanica garden… Sand scrupturing.. shaving the sheep fur and live like a farmer or you can just walk along the seaside or any cliff.. *like wad i do*… to just feel the cold breeeze around you… Oh.. it feels so great!!
EVen when you are just on ur way to the sea.. U couldnt resist to stop by along the roadside and take picture with the beautiful view… like this!!
Gosh.. isnt it pretty!
What more to say when you actually reached the destination.. one sentences.. relax relax relax and enjoy the brreeeeze and the view…! I couldnt find any better words to describe.
All pictures are taken by Anson.. He preferred to be not shown in the blog so i just snap his sideway loh! hehe! Credits to him!! i love the place..
How many time do i get a chance to sit on the cliff.. listening to the sea and enjoying urself with the cold cold breeeze …? Not much.. so.. here i got my chance.. Very nice hor.. but to tell u the truth.. its bloody cold.
But still.. ahyien is happie!
Not only the cliff.. mayb the stairs look great too..
AHHHHH.. really not bad lah. teeehehhee!
Oh.. they got sails as well… but i think st kilda has more. ^^
Also… there are these two landmark statue called Matthew Flinders.. and a big compass things.. they marked down how this place is found and the history of it..
Matthew Flinders..
Oh.. the compass look cool rite?
teehehe!! thats it for the mornington sea breeze.. haha!! so boring right?? I m just being random ma… lalalala… wanted to post the winery visit together but hor… kinda sleepy for now.. so… winery stuff to be continued tommorrow morning after me breakfast!!
This is for long the best italian food i had throughout the whole melbourne trip.. oops.. should say the best italian food i had in my whole life.. The truth is.. the so-called best italian food in Malaysia is still incomparable to Sofia’s. *thumbs up to Sofia”
And of coz.. thanks to Anson for bringing all of us to Sofia.. he always bring us to those good food around town.. omg omg!! i m missing Sofia so much now. T.T
So according to anson.. they have lotsa branch around city area.. but the restaurant which served the best food quality and the largest portion is still the origin one.. The first established one.. which is at Camberwell… Well.. you are right.. the one we went to. =) I have not tried the others Sofia but i can say that this one is really good. No regret. *affordable price too* Best recommended to go in a group as u can see how big the portion is later!!
Sofia bares a very classic interior design.. The classic italian style of coz.. I personally thinks it a good place for gathering because the environment is good so as the food and price..
Oh.. their pizza is homemade too!!! No wonder its called pizza house. *blueks*
5 of us there.. 3 dishes but we cant even finished it all. =)
The first dish is Avocado Seafood Salad.. I love this very much.. the portion is big and most importantly.. they have lotsa lotsa fresh juicy prawns and scallops.. whenever you scoop.. you will have a spoonful of prawns and scallops instead of vege and avocado. haha!! how fun it is right??!
See those fat and juicy fresh scallops and prawns?? You can tell after your first bite of it.. huhuhu!! Basically.. the whole dish is made up of 50% of fresh prawns.. 30% of fresh scallops *my favourite*.. 10% of Avocado and 10% of vege.. teehehehhee!! THIS IS WAD I CALL A SEAFOOD SALAD.. its really full of seafood.. Imagine if u order seafood salad in M*l*yS**… you will get 90% of vege and a few stingy tiny dried prawns. RIGHT OR NOT??!!! not to say i like to complain lah.. but its the truth ok? =)
Back to the juicy salad.. i had Horrace as the Background to compare the portion.. and mind u… its a portion for ONE PERSON… *screaaaammmm*
Second dish we have the platter.. Spaghetti.. Risotto… and Carbonara.. Words to describe.. it looks like a mountain when the food arrived. =)
I loved their risotto the most.. creamy!! Or mayb its the first time i have risotto.. followed by the carbonara.. oh.. i found one similarities in Sofia’s food.. they have plenty of fat and juicy prawns..! =) ALL OVER EVERY DISH. =)
PIZZA!! its BBQ Chicken. hmmm.. nice one but i still love the first two dishes more.. teehehehe!
So heres the ladies.. Myself.. ee laine.. and yvonne!
And the gents.. Horrace and Anson…! Busy eating la them. Hmpf!
lastly.. we had Gelato for desserts…! I m personally not a dessert kinda people so i think if my dar comes.. he will finish everything within seconds. teehehehe!
Apart from that.. they have very famous cakes too.. but too bad we are so bloated…T.T
Anyone like aeroplanes?? or Jet?? or Helicopter?? or wad-so-ever that can fly??! Teehehe!! I m kinda lucky to come over to Melbourne on March.. And also thanks to Mr.Anson la.. if not because of him.. i wont be able to go to so many nice places!! So he told me Avalon Air Fare is here.. 13-15 march 2009. The Air fare is only organized once in every two years.. see!! Lucky me!
He drove me and dennedict to Avalon Airport where the Air show is.. huhu!! i thought it was going to be a sunny day so i wear sleeveless and short pants plus lotsa sunblock.. who knows.. its raining!! *kolien-nyer*
And this is the first time ever in my life that i m shivering so hard when i was walking to the place.. EVen when i m talking to anson and dennedict.. i can feel my lips are shivering.. i thought the st kilda trip will be the worst one.. but i was wrong.. This time really defines the word SHIVERING AND FREEZING COLD. ^^
Don ask me why am i still be able to smile if i said i was freezing cold.. AHYIEN can always smile in front of the camera one hor! *teehehe*
Three of us!! Raining.. freezing.. but still having fun.

I went to Australia Air Show on saturday actually.. but too too too many pichas to edit so i decided to post up my trip to Healesville Sanctuary first.. Its recommended by Darren.. and thank you so much for bringing me there.. I like the place.. as compared to Melbourne Zoo.. Cause Melbourne Zoo got too many types of non-australia animals such as hippo.. girrafe and so on.. but Healesville Sanctuary only have all the AUstralia Animals.. Platypus.. Kangarroo.. Koala.. Dingo.. and Emu.. and many more la of coz. teehehe!! But don say so much first la.. i MIGHT go to Melbourne Zoo oso!! kakakakak!!!
Early in the morning.. i dress up nicely and prepare for my visit.. but who knows once i step out from the room.. MY GOSH!! WEEKENDS ARE DAMN COLD NEH!! its 16 Degree that time.. Morning somemore.. immediately.. i go and change lah! kekek!
So Healesville Sanctuary is very far away.. one hour from Glenferrie to LilyDale.. then another hour from Lilydale to Healesville Sanctuary!!
Tada!! Reach liao. kekeke!
Pose with the eagle statue in front of the entrance.. i heard it was like this is the eagle that makes the beginning of Healesville Sanctuary?
Lucky enuf we reach there by 12.15pm and there is the show called “Bird of Prey” at 12.30pm.. how lucky rite?? Bird of Prey mainly introduce their rare species of Bird.. and how they hunt their food and so on..
This one is out of the few which i like..
Because he knows how to use a stone to crack an egg. teehehehe..
This one is the most Handsome one!! BIG enuf rite??!
After the Bird of Prey.. we continue the journey for Australian Animals. keke!
First station is Dingo.. Its an australian Dog.. originate in Tasmania.. it can say its a combination of wolf and dog.. it knot bark.. but it howls… and its meat eaters.. when they are in a group.. they tend to hunt Kangarooos.. huhuhu!
Secondly.. Koalas.. OH!! this is my dar dar’s favourite.. and so am I now. KOALAs are super cute!! and LAZY! They eat and they sleep… thats all their live is about. teehehe!
Such a cutie..
DId u see him?? Eating again.. huhuhu T.T They do not allow us to carry it as Koala is their protected animals and Koala is not social. they only allow their keeper to hug them. huhu.. cute..! but they do giv us to touch the real fur of Koala’s on a fake koala.. Oh Gosh.. Koala’s fur is so soft.. softer than the New Zealand sheep fur.. seriously!
Saw lotsa Kangaroos resting as a group.. in their herd.. hmm.. i don dare to go in the herd as there are not only cute wallabies but also the strong and macho big kangarroo..
so i intend to seduce one wallaby which is outta the crowd.. But still.. it look at me and ignore me.. it doesnt seems to be seduced! hmpf! BAD KANGAROOO!
But anyway.. when i walked along.. DING!! i saw one wallaby standing there ALONE!! huhuh!!!
OMG! quick quick go sayang it.. hehe.. such a cute one.. and its so tame and friendly..
Camwhore! *grin*
I have to be tame and gentle.. because the papa is just somewhere behind me. huhuh!

THis is the so-called health hospital for the animals here..
Milks for new born..
At first i thought its some video for the tourist.. but who knows.. its LIVE on show.. they actually saw a wounded echidna (something like a hedgehog) on the roadside so they bring it back to take care of it.. the whole patch of skin is being peeled off but the lady say its gonna be alright.. so pity.. it even have oxygen suport for it…
another specialty of Australia.. PLATYPUS… Click here for some details.. before i saw it.. i thought platypus is kinda big.. but it turn out so small.. hehe! but seriously.. its even cuter than kangaroo.. ^^ The keeper says they squueze their tail to check if they are in a healthy condition bcoz their tail is to use to store all their fats. ^^
Platypus likes dark and quite.. so we are not allow to use flash.. and must be quiet of coz.. and you know what… inside there is so freaking dark.. only a dim light for us to see 7 platypus.. so means no picture taken.. i took one.. but its totally darkness. huhu!
