Melbourne 10th April 2005

Today, it's time for sea breeze and sunshine. We headed over to St Kilda's Beach, where there will always be the Sunday Arts and Craft Bazaar. I (or Brenda) can always find things to buy. From handmade accessories, native animal soft toys, handbags to art paintings. It's amazing that how people can come up with so many things just with their own imagination and dare to pursue their dreams. See the little Bilby on my shoulder, we got it there.

Since St Kilda's is where people spend their Sunday mornings, sipping freshly made Latte and muffins. There are numerous cafes and restaurants there. Speaking of those, after much shopping and looking around. We were attracted to a Burger Joint, where the beef patties are sizzling on the grill and fries are swimming in hot oil. We had burgers, fries, potato salad and, of course, mile shake to wash everything down. By the time we were done, there was a long line outside waiting to be seated. This must be a very popular restaurant.

Later that night, feeling lucky, we went over to the Crown Casino, Melbourne. Located along the Yarra River, this Casino-cum-shopping mall-cum-hotel is truly a one-stop place for the Rich. Remember Warner Bros.? The branch, located in Singapore, was closed down, but we found another in Melbourne. After some shopping around, we went over to the Casino to try out our luck. Did you know that if you are a first-timer there, with your pasport, you can register free and get a complimentary AUD5 credit in the card to try your luck? So we went over to the Jackpot machine and 'ting ting ting', we are on..... How much did we win? Well, just say that we had enought for breakfast for the next 2 days.
