Australian Open 2010
There’s no doubt that you have to be a brilliant tennis player to play in the Australian Open.
But you also have to be very persistant to survive the Australian Open as a spectator, battling the ever-changing weather: being drizzled on in the late morning, being incubated by clouds in the early afternoon, being fried by the sun in the late afternoon, and of course, it would never be a perfect day in Melbourne without being froze in the evening.
Yep. I’ve done it all in one day.
Melbourne is not on the list!
I was looking for a Moleskine City Notebook of Melbourne so that I could document all the places I love in Melbourne before I leave – and apparently I have thought too much of Melbourne as a city important enough for Moleskine to publish a city notebook…
Interestingly, neither is Sydney important enough or any cities on the southern hemisphere..!
But I thought I am pretty good at going to important cities :P
And yeah, I know, I know, Moleskine is an overpriced piece of crap.
30C is easy-breezy
Argh… How lucky was I when I was complaining about the 25C sunny day when I was in Switzerland last summer… I wish we could all go back in time and undone everything that we could do without e.g. Economic crisis, bush fires, etc. Because as of this moment, even 30C seems nothing. But can anyone tell me how can I survive in a 50C weather when I almost had a heat stroke in a 40 degree C day?
I couldn’t understand why people would do such horrible things, if it were true that someone ignite the bush fire in Victoria intentionally. It had cost nearly 200 innocent deaths across Victoria to date. Fire fighters and volunteers have to labour day and night to control the blaze because of stupidity. It is people lives, flora and fauna that we are losing. Millions of dollars we have to pay later for reconstruction. Haven’t we had enough bad things in the last half year? First the economic crisis, and then the bush fires…
I have never in my life wish someone to die, but I do wish whoever caused this fire to bury in hell. And I sincerely hope that none of my friends or their families suffer any loss from the bush fire… Unfortunately, an email has already been sent out by the Vice Chancellor at uni that we have confirmed at least one death in our community :(
Mate, stay safe and strong!
