Ballarat trip

.
We decided to do some travelling after a few days of vegetating at home. Dad was practically gathering moss, and wanted to call MAS to get an earlier flight home! Kakaka... All the shopping really doesn't interest him... the summer sales are only making mom beam with excitement.
.
So, we tried pacifying him by driving the family to Ballarat, Sovereign Hill.

Just us @ Ballarat, the famous mining town of Australia.


Dad, Sis on wheels, Mom // Sis, the maiden, Mom // Dad with horsey, Chubby Mei, Mom // The three of us :)


Left, Left, Left-right-left // The maiden with her embroidery work // The rider // Us, having a go at gold mining.

It was a good day. Fine and sunny, but a tad too hot for my liking! And freaking hell, I was in boots, for I didn't wanna dirty my feet and all. Wanted the "cowgirl" look... But darn! It was so hot, that I was practically grilling under the sun!

And like I said earlier, I'm probably 7 shades darker now! Boohoo! Gotta pamper myself with heaps of whitening cream now. But sigh, planning to make a day trip to Geelong tomorrow! Not good. Being by the sea and all... sigh, just gonna get tanner.

But none-the-less, it was fun. Kinda feel like being back in the olden times. *Hehehe* Now I just need to get myself a corsett top, and one of those puffy skirts!

Bleh! :P

DentistDownUnder: Yeah man, it must be scorchy up in Queensland! Come back to Melbourne then. But by the sounds of it, you've grown fond of being there.
Thanks for dropping by :)

Mei said...

I'm typing this just so that I can remind myself that I may have a double personality. In an event that I turn back into dentist-down under, this post will act as a reminder.

Who are you?!?! I, too, gave med a middle finger and went back to dent. And I'm moving to Queensland for $$ too.. what the?!?! (Actually not moving to Gold coast for $$.. but for the Jap & Korean waitresses... *slurp*.. )..

Do you only come out in full moon?

Dentist Down Under said...

mei: I don't have fallback either. I'm just stubborn. It's not that bad until you graduate hehe.

master peebody: I bet you haven't been around QLD much. ;p I was in the northwest QLD for a year where the average summer temperature hovers around 45 degrees Celcius. It's very dry, if you forget your laundry and leave it in the washing machine for 10 mins it'll be dried. But I find I could cope better up there than the humid heat down here, and yes you do get burn. The skin on my scalp is peeling off coz I didn't put sunblock on my head. ;(

stephen t: and who are you???

Mei said...

DentistDownUnder: Hhmm. Thanks for bursting my bubble! I'm not liking the extra hours, the paperwork, etc etc. Life as an intern :( But still, I can't wait to graduate, and start earning some $$$

Dentist Down Under said...

mei: You're welcome hehehehe. Don't worry you ppl'll earn more money than we do, 10 years after graduation! :p By then I'll be debt free and retired. :p :D

Mei said...

DentistDownUnder: :( hhHmmM... I'm so jealoussss
