Hello, Melbourne!

It is really hard to believe I am jetting off to Australia…IMG_1172 But indeed, I was in a G5 and within 7 hours…

Pooof~! Here I am, arriving to the Crown Hotel, Melbourne. IMG_1173

Even harder to believe, the amount of alcohol I consumed for this trip is as much as all I have ever had in my life…serious!

And the food…gosh, I had all the weights removed from the suite so that I won’t feel guilt.

Of course, the main purpose of this trip…not to mention the super drying hot weather…Roger vs. Nadal!!!

towards the end of the amazing 4 1/2 hours game

 

And not forgetting shop, shop…shop! Spend most of my time shopping at Chapel Street. Made an impulsive buy on Herve Ledger blue/white stripe dress but luckily Mandy likes it too and bought it from me. Technically, I own it for 1 day =D

Oh, let’s check out the place that I stay in Crown. This suite is the entire floor of the building.

  • Four personal butler, two day shift/ another two night shift
  • Limo to make sure I don’t get lost and the Cristal
  • Spa and facial every morning where I sleep walk to (with my butler escorting me so I don’t bang onto the wall).
  • Met Roger Federer at the wrong timing where he was trying to have his own time @ Crown, Mahogany Room lounge after a 4 1/2 hours battle lost to Nadal. Didn’t talk much, pretending I didn’t know who he is, just “Hello, a little late huh?”
  • Met up with cousins unexpectedly for dinner and drinks at the hotel.

    Well, I am so loving Melbourne. The polite mannered people, the laid back lifestyle and bla bla bla. It’s true what they say: The sand is always, um, sandier somewhere else.
