Strawberries...pick them & eat them!
Welcome to Mornington Peninsula, 1-2 hour drive from Melbourne city, where I found my fresh and original Strawberries..they shine and somehow tell U to 'pick me'. Haha.
Anyway, the trip was originally planned by my housemate, Karni. It was a getaway for everyone before the semester starts next week. Partly, it's also becoz Yenny (the Moomooland Girl) was still staying with us. Therefore,this trip was planned. But if I have to say, maybe it's not the best trip ever. Was a bit unorganized. Though we had already predicted the late comers..as we always do expect them to be, but there were some other unpredicted errors which ruined the trip. For example, we were supposed to visit 5 places (incl. the Strawberry Farm). At the end, we only made it for 3 places (the Strawberry Farm, the Ashcombe Maze and Arthur Seat). We sort of wasted 2 admission tickets we had already paid for.
Strawberry Farm. I forgot how much actually I paid for the entrance, coz Karni calculated everything, including the car rent on that day. Thus, I didn't know the details. Went in the strawberry farm around 11am. We went in with a yellow bucket. It may fit like 1 kg for the full-filled bucket. And the deal it's free for the 1st 1/2kg of the Strawberries you've picked. U pay for the next kg and so on.
All the shiny strawberries are so Fresh..unbelievable! And I got a tips from my friend. He told me the small strawberries taste better. They are sweet. Correcto. My Strawberries are not even 1/2kg, thus, I didn't pay for my strawberries. Cool =p
2nd, the Authur Seat. Great view or the coast and the city of Melbourne within the cloud. So nice. It made me feel that I was really 'out' of Melbourne. There was chair lifts, where people sit on to "enjoy the scenic natural bushland and view across Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne & beyond". People have to pair up for the seat, and I sat with Hendri, one of my friends in Nandos who came with us that day :). Had a nice chat with him too.
The Ashcombe Maze. It was a place where they have all these circular green bushes, like a puzzled garden. Wow, so confusing. We were supposed to play a game inside the maze. Guess, to find some hidden items. Maybe, there would be a price at the end. But..ended up not playing. Coz wasted too much time, when we were still planning to go somewhere else. And, it started to rain. Too bad.
Good times bad times. It was such a good trip, coz Yenny was having fun with her new experiences. With the Melbourne Zoo, her first time seeing girrafes, Haha. Also, this trip, which I hope she did enjoy. During the journey in the car, we both were in the same car. I knew that she was 'suffering' from the non-stop hits from someone in the car. Sometimes, I just couldn't understand, why in this world, there are people who are so self-centered and are attention-seekers. I know, I have no right to judge, maybe I am one of them. Yet, this is just one of the un-tolerable moments in my life. When U have to listen to someone's complains and can't get away from them at the same time.
Anyway, Yenny left Melbourne, to Gippsland this afternoon. Hope she enjoyed her time staying with us these last few days. And hope that she will come back again soon. So the unit 2513 in QV will not be 'too quiet' and sometimes intense.
Quick updates from Nandos. I worked for 6 hours, straight, today. It was amazingly busy today. Therfore, I was so tired. And the manager in charge told me to stay for another 1 hour extra. So exhausted and tired. It was good though. Money is hard to get. U need to earn it! Therefore, I never complain. No Excuses, remember?! Moreover, I am going to buy a sport shoes (coz I need one actually). So, I'd better kick my ass to earn that money, and buy it with my money. Wish me luck.
