Anyway, let's put all that studies aside. I realise at the rate I'm talking about my trip, I won't finish it within my lifetime. I would need to pass on to the next generation to continue writing for me. HAhaaa! So today, I will be doing a short summary on my stay in Melbourne, talking only about some tourist attractions and a few nice places I visited.
First and foremost, the place I stayed of course! Yeah! I stayed in Chapel street, South Yarra. I moved there after Ian flew back to Singapore. My friend, Brendan was kind enough to adopt a homeless kid into his Bachelor's House. South Yarra is very well known in Melbourne for all the different designer labels and fashion boutiques along the streets. Plus, they have a whole lot of dining restaurants and cafes with that wide varietiy of cuisines for you to choose from. And not to forget, the nightlife in South Yarra is happening! as there are a number os pubs and clubs along the streets, drawing here a big crowd who wants to part the night away during their weekends. However this is not it, this place where I stayed in is definitely one of the attraction in South Yarra, the Bachelor's House. It may only be a one-room apartment, but the the facilities inside is enough to make your life comfortable, it's so good that you thought you had never left home. This guy here have a full surround sound system for his TV, so he can enjoy his movies and games with that high quality sound. And if you get bored of watching movies at any point of time, no worries as he got a PS3 prepared for you, it is just a button away. BUT, playing PS3 will definitely get a bit boring after a while, and it is not healthy to just sit on that couch whole day exercising only your fingers. This is the time when you can stand up, hop around and swing your body away with that Wii console he have as well. That's when you realise you can actually sweat during winter. After you are done with that, turn on that ipod which is connected to a loud speaker and blast that music away, while making your way to the fridge where you will find yourself with lots of surprises (if you like junk food)! It's all "help yourself" in the house with the chocolates and the drinks. Take a break with that kit-kat and the juice and google away in that high powered laptop he has at home too! That is why, I always wake up asking myself this question - Why am I going out today?
Hahaha! That is definitely one hell of an attraction. To all who wants to stay there, do let me know so I can arrange it for you. Rental rates is always negotiable, so not to worry about that. But do take note in mind that you will have to sleep on the bed as the owner does not do so. Therefore, for all who are used to sleeping on the floor, please bear with that sacrifice during your stay in The Bachelor's House. Last but not least, hope you enjoy your stay.
This is South Yarra. It's one of the richest suburbs in Melbourne.
The pub just outside the place I stayed. This pub gets really crowded at night, especially weekends.
Yeah, this is the facilities of the Bachelor's House. Not a whole of it though.. It's endless...

To give you a bit of understanding how good the place is, this is a typical view of a 1 room apartment. Btw, I did not zoom in on the table, there wasn't space for me to move back anymore.
Lastly, Tha Bachelor - Brendan
I guess that's all for now at the moment. Need to rush out to get some stuff done. Will update more in the evening. Stay tuned!
