Day 2 to enD!

Ok, gonna cut short the whole trip thing...too long to type and lazy hehes...well, that and actually, no time to recall all of them, so I'll just sum up everything...photos of Fb!

Went to Codrington Wind Farm to look at the wind turbines and understand more about it....after that, travelled back to Port Campbell to look at the beach and for lunch: Beef Burger and Chips!
Got some souvenirs, travelled 3 hours to Melbourne where we checked into our new hostel, Habitat HQ
Put down stuff, then walked to a park to have a BBQ dinner! The streets were a little empty, although we did notice lots of graffiti all around...and the place is a little..deserted and dark...
Nightlife along the road is rather quiet and all...not safe to be alone if u ask me, since we're in a foreign country...still, the cool night wind is deeply missed in Aussie, you won't get to experience that in S'pore!

Day 3:
Went to an office to listen to another company Pacific Hydro, which does huge projects in some countries around the world building facilities like dams for example, hence its name...renewable energy to be exact...
went to a shopping centre to buy souvenirs and lunch...had Chicken Brushetta and Chips! Lots of chips eaten for the past few days alr, getting sick of it XP...
the Chinese food there is ex ttm! one char siew rice costs AUD8.90!!! ridiculously high-priced if u compare the price back here hahas, evidently, the standard of living in Aussie is higher...can also imagine Europe being about similar level...
After that, went to a Solar Power Company, where we learned about how solar power is converted to electricity, as well as having an inverter to share power with ur neighbours. We also learned about the positioning of the roofs to achieve maximum solar energy absorption, and how the efficiency of solar panels are, and will be improved in the years to come...also found an Anti-Mosquito Guard contraption, hand-carry too like a keychain! didn't buy it though...
went back to hostel, got de-briefed and took a short rest b4 going back to Coles Market to get eggs for the following day's breakfast and groceries...then pizzas for dinner at a restaurant!
Walked past the beach for a great night view and the wind...they even have alcohol restrictions at the beach as well...wow...

Day4:
Spent the next two days mostly at Melbourne University...lots of pics taken and u guessed it..lectures! PhD , Physics, Renewable Energy....even saw a Particle Accelerator at the Physics Lab! hardly see one everyday!
had lunch at the uni for the first time ever...not too bad a place to be, different from S'porean schools hahas, like your American school cafeteria that is large and expands to many shops, spoiled for choice here...the serving was literally like a mini-mountain...had Yang Zhou Fried Rice there that costs AUD6.50...worth it as a matter of fact due to the huge portion given!
left the uni to Queen's Street where we were given the independence to get our own dinner...burger again for me at $17.60, accompanied with a drink, chips and sauce
went back to hostel, where jas and I had to type out the blog post for the whole trip, regarding today's events...slept rather late at 12 plus

Day 5:
Went back to Mel Uni, but to a different campus located further away...we had a lecture on green roofs and green walls, and we took a look at an example located at their office rooftop...
travelled to the larger campus where we went the day b4, more talks on Uni Courses here, and also had a lunch gathering with the S'porean students there! got to know a few people there, like Phyllis, Ray just to name a few...
Gone to Philip Island to see the Penguins there, learned about their behaviour, habitat and we also saw them moving back to their burrows from the sea...spectacular and unforgettable experience, those Little Penguins are cute! Relentless 12-inch creatures, they will always attempt to get back to their burrows whenever they are scared off by the seagulls, going back to sea and then returning...
Got more souvenirs and the wind was damn cold! Mr Wong even hid behind us as shields from the wind, and for me, my hands were cold too...
returned to melbourne at 11 plus, and slept at 2!

Last day:
Woke up late!!!...was late for breakfast so we had to rush down...too tired...
brought our luggage down and we went to the Market to buy stuff..bought nougats, items, chocolates...u name it...
made a quick lunch at a diner, burger again...
Went to the Melbourne Museum...huge place, got lots of exhibitions to see...Dinosaurs, Aboriginis, Human Body and Mind, Rainforests and Insect World...
Lastly, departed to Melbourne Airport and bid farewell to our coach driver Don...shopped for more stuff after checking in
The plane ride was okay, fell asleep during take off and watched 3 movies in a row...after that, the plane was filled with a baby's crying...Kwok Fong said he can join a singing contest alr lol, crying non-stop, got some powderful lungs and a throat lol...and bcoz of that, couldn't sleep lol...
Landed back at S'pore, bid farewell to the teachers and friends and back home! reached at 12plus, near 1am...

Yep, that's about all for the trip, summed up!
