Great Ocean Road, South East Australia

The Great Ocean Road in South-East Australia was simply a breath taking journey. The scenery was really nice and the weather was perfect with cool breeze throughout our journey. We took a drive down from Werribee via Geelong and Torquay to reach there.

We managed to spot a real life Koala in Otway National Park who was sleeping on a tree along the way. We woke it up just to take some pictures (bad of us right? we tried getting it to pose for us but it went straight back to sleep anyways..). Oh, not forgetting, we had to stop for a baby hedgehog (at least I think it was a hedgehog) who was crossing the highway. The highlight of the journey was the 12 Apostles (now maybe just 8 or something) where you're actually standing on the edge of a cliff over looking the ocean. Simply out of this world. Check out more of the spectacular sceneries here then you will know what I mean. You just got to be there to enjoy it.


Disclaimer: If you're wondering why aren't there pictures of people or myself in those pictures? Well, if you must know, I took a few shots of myself with the sceneries naked and I don't want to put it up as it might be too much to handle for some people. You will be deemed a f**king cheap bastard if you copy or take any of these photos to be your desktop wallpaper, screensaver or edit anything without permission and may you shit razor blades for a week!

U2//VERTIGO//2006 Tour - Melbourne

Ok, I know there will be an insane amount of people who will hate me for this...but TOO BAD! I got the bragging rights!

I was in Melbourne last Sunday and was in Docklands doing some sight seeing and noticed that it was considerably packed for a Sunday evening. While not knowing what's going on, my friend then said that U2 is in town having a concert at the Telstra Dome. Of course we all went crazy contemplating whether or not to get the tickets and if there are any left, seeing that this is U2 that we're talking about, it probably might have been sold out ages ago. So we just tried our luck...and guess what??..WE GOT THE TICKETS!! Woohoo! Of course the cheaper ones were snapped up and all thats left were the AUD130 and AUD199 tickets. So we bought the 130 tix, and I must say, I would even pay AUD199 for it, simply because it was that f**king awesome.

Here are some of the pictures at the concert


Me and my sis outside the Telstra Dome



Our tickets...Woohoo!!



Sold out crowd. 50,000 people at least!

Watch video 1 - Concert opening

Watch video 2 - Vertigo

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the opening act was Kanye West and the encore performance lasted about 1 and half hours. To sum it all up, it was the best concert I been to by far (not that I've been to many). Kinda hard to top this one I bet.

Thanks Mates!

Ahh...its good to be home after a long relaxing holiday. Where did I go you ask? Well, I was in the land down under for about a week (which is not long enough). Yup, thats Melbourne if you need to know. How was it? Well, all I can say is it was great! I think I won't be able to see so much of Melbourne if it wasn't for all my friends. So, this post goes out to all of them who took the time to meet up and showed me around. This holiday won't be much without you guys.
