Mount Buller

Everyone worked hard for July's month end closing. We worked even on a Saturday. The Finance Manager promised to take us to Mount Buller if we were able to 'close July' without any issues and WE DID!

It was a long drive from Melbourne. Finally, after 3 hours of driving, we reached Mount Buller. We rented a ski jacket and a toboggan. I regretted not renting boots. It was freezing cold and my shoes & socks got all wet.

It was raining and windy. We had no choice but to take the chairlift up to the peak instead of the gondola due to the bad weather.
Midway up, we saw people skiing down the slope. Nice! How I wish I can ski just like them. :D

It was all white up at the peak. Too bad it wasn't snowing. Stayed outdoor for a while, took some pictures before heading in to the cafeteria to 'defrost' and enjoy a cup of Hot Chocolate!

Some photo session :-
After that, we headed to another area to play the toboggan ride. It was fun!

Melbourne - City of lights

I was in Melbourne for 1.5 weeks but only managed to visit the city only once at night. So if you ask me to describe Melbourne, I'll say it's a City of lights.

I parked near the Crown casino and we walked along the Southbank to the Federation square and back.

Took many pictures along the way as it was a beautiful night. Enjoy the pictures below! :)

There were many street performers that night. It was very different as compared to Sydney. The mood, the feel.. It gives me a feeling that the city is aliveee even after 7pm....... :)

A new life

I've not blogged for a few months now.. Did not know where to start... So ended up not writing anything.

In hope to boost up the mood of writing again, I've decided to give my blog a new life. :D
