Day Trip to Williamstown

Hey people, I'm back. Finally blogging after such a long time. Melbourne has been a great place. Went to Williamstown last weekend for a day trip. We guys met up at Federation Square at 10am, and off we go to Williamstown. The scenery on the way there was beautiful, saw the port, and so many different things. This past week has been so busy. I'll try to update more on this weeks activities as soon as possible. For the time being, enjoy the current post and do leave a review behind.


Cleopas, don't forget to count me in!!!


In the city before we departed. That small yellow building is the train station.


Oh, nice little birdy here....


Our transport there, a small ferry enough for 60 people


So many yachts on the way there.....


Our playing ground and spot for activities

Laptops for Loan......

Been quite some days since I last updated my blog. Been busy with classes and the work is already piling up in the first week. Went to the Library today after Microeconomics to pass some time in between a class. Have like almost one hour between classes but then it takes like at least 15 minutes to get to another class and I prefer to be early at class so that the good seats are not taken up. End up with only like 30 minutes between classes. So decided to go to the Library for a short while. Guess wht?? We can borrow laptops from the Library!!! Thats like so damn cool!!! So, me and Amish borrowed the laptops and started surfing the net.... The laptops can only be borrowed for 3 hours at one time though, which is more than enough anyways. No wonder they call this things notebooks... There's even a barcode for them to scan as you take the notebook out just to keep track. Just like a regular reference book that you want to borrow.

Not Dell, Not Vaio, Not HP, but Uni of Melbourne!!!

Thats me..... Cool notebook!!!

Looking at some girl huh Amish??? Yup, thats my new friend Amish. Let me introduce him a bit. He's been living in Brisbane for a number of years already. He's originally from Zimbabwe. Bumped into him during week-O, and we have been friends since. Nice guy with a very business person type of brain. Oh, and by the way, he is a Gujju. He is in the same course as me as well, Acturial Science.


Looks like he has found something interesting on the net....

Anyways, keep on following this blog, more updates coming up soon....

Lazy Saturday

Woke up at almost 9.30. Made myself a sandwich for breakfast. Lazed around till it was time to leave my room and go meet up my friends. Went to Port of Melbourne to have lunch at some Malaysian restaurant. Bad luck though, the restaurant was closed by the time we reached there. So we ended up in a restaurant with a healthy choice. Focaccia is the name of the delicacy. Taste quite good with bits of Feta cheese in there. I forgot to take a picture of it though, next time guys. Basically, the port here that we visited is the Gateway to Tasmania, an island that is South of Melbourne. Was so windy at the time we were there. Great housing community there too.


Thats part of the seaside along the Port.....

Didn't get a chance to take many pictures over there though. :( Then went for some grocery shopping with them and then back to their home. Watched some random movies while waiting for dinner to be delivered. After dinner, around 9 pm, started to head back home. Train station, here I come!!! Had a quiet ride back to my place. Managed to get a few pictures of the library in the city. Looks very pretty when it is lighted up at night.


The footway along the Library!!!


Now, thats the librabry....

Had a great day out today. Hope the people of Melbourne remain like this. Also not forgetting, to all those Formula 1 fans out there... I just passed by Albert Park today and i was like 30 meters away from the actual racing line!!! That was so cool!!! Hope I can go watch the race later this year... Anyways, its about time I go sleep. Stay tuned for more updates. Take care you ppl... Have great fun and all the best....
