chapel street
And we walked a fair bit along Chapel Street – where Jon used to live, and I tried to imagine him as a student then. Actually we aren’t that different from the students and think we could possibly pass off as one of them. We’re still young! At least we’d like to think so.

back to my world
I’m back from Melbourne and not sure if I’m missing the lattes and eggs more, or the comfort of my home and some bak chor mee. I’m glad I’m still on leave the next two days, I think I shall go Bedok 85 for lunch tmr to grab some bak chor mee.
Melbourne was great but as always, too short! I’m glad for the company of friends and I guess that’s the highlight of the trip. It was great meeting up again with Isaac and Tricia; and I like it that now I’ve got images of the environment they’re in when we chat online.
One of the highlights must be the trip to Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula. We had a BBQ with really excellent food and a few of us went back again yesterday to the Peninsula Hot Springs. The hot springs were the best ever – it filled my senses to the brim and made my toes tingle. Best ever.
Happy at our balcony in our family suite at Sorrento
More pics when I’ve sorted them out!

pleasure in the pathless woods
That’s my friend Pok trying to be funny while we were taking a photo. And it turned out quite funny and it made us laugh.
So the Melbourne trip so far has mostly been hanging out with friends we came here with, visiting friends I’ve not seen for ages, and meeting new friends of friends. It’s relaxed, with no real itinerary and I like it that way.
We just decided to go off to a beach house cottage tomorrow, just to chill and get out of the city. I hope we get a BBQ going!
