it was a short trip over to melbourne to watch the australian open for the weekend. this was my 3rd trip to melbourne and i still hardly saw anything. saturday morning started early with all of us catching a train to the airport.
after checking into the hotel, some friends were nice enough to pick us up and took us to the pantry; home to the pantry cooking show. the waffles were awesome!! then it was off to the badminton games. super kan chiongs lar! especially when malaysia was playing.

the next day, it was jalan-ing in the city, abit of shopping and then to the finals. unfortunately someone took us on the wrong tram and we ended up at port melbourne where i got to see the spirit of tasmania. an experience but that meant we were late for the game o_O

| the biggest game of all - mens single - wong choong han vs sho sasaki |
wong choong han lost. the last point he lost was damn potong steam la. it was such a close game and a very exciting one. what a pity. oh and one thing i'll never get use to in melbourne is the weather. we were all geared up for the cold but had to change into shorts & thongs coz it was so warm. and then... we walked out of the match into wet cold weather -_-
