Summer Holidays Getaway Part 1: Philip Island first !

Will update everything in 3 post. TOO MANY PICTURES and I want more details for future references. hehe.

On the fateful day of Thursday, after the spontaneous decision to go Philip Island...we really went for it, even though at the very last minute, SOME PEOPLE back out (Keith), but he then tried calling me damn many times until today, to say sorry I assume! :S haven't picked up his phone yet til now.

The plan was a success! I enjoyed myself so damn much :D


on the way..

Then when reached :


put a smile on my face and
act cute ~ It was a very hot day.

As we can only watch penguins at night, we reached there quite early, about late noon..we went around other places. There are actually quite alot of tourist destination spot in Philip Island.

Went to this place call aMaze'n Things. A very fun place where they combine science and all the other funny random stuffs together.


Got mini golf outside.






The tap water on top of my head on the left picture is actually running.

Went to my favourite place of all.. after paying AUD20 for entry ticket.

souvenir shop!

I love going to souvenir shop everytime when we travel. Get to see many different fun things that other place doesn't sell much. Somemore got this slimming effect mirror, which Adam quickly pointed it out to me saying " Michelle, show you something, you sure will like one." wtf!

Then after that went to the gravity room...its a slanted room where you can't really balance yourself. No proper picture to explain it.

Then went to another room :


People standing on the left will look bigger and on the right look smaller. I was too stingy to buy the photo snapped. AUD12+ man.

Got Andy to use my camera and poke through a hole and snap our photo F.O.C. (free of charge)

love this picture!!

Then went to this room/tunnel :

the picture on the sides keep turning one. Quite dizzy.

Random picture :

Love the lighting effects.

Then went to mirror room.
It was actually quite scary, cause it's so hard to tell who is the real person and who is a reflection, and you have to touch the mirror as you go to find a path. Adam almost scared the shits outta me at one point when I thought he was a reflection when he's not!

Head on to a restaurant :

Wanna eat this for dinner ?Today's special.

hehe. nice! but everyone had a shot at this head-table, not that special already!

When we're done with indoors, outdoors we went :

Love all these funny cartoon body pictures :





what's the exact term for these pictures/carboard thingy?

Then end the aMaze'n Things with mini golf (I didn't play nor take pictures..spent too much time in the souvenir shop again)

Then went to Philip Island Grand Prix Circuit :

Don't know what's with boys and cars and racing! Waste petrol nia!


Then went to some ocean side that has fantastic sea views and lush green sceneries~
















Great companies :)

Love the waves!


Loads of sea gulls were flying around... and not suprisingly, the car got shat thrice by those birds!

Have to wash car loh.

Then finally evening comes.. have to head to Penguin Parade (penguin sight seeing in Philip Island)


Went to see the penguin museum beforehand :

Penguin's eyeview are like macro shots of a camera.

When it's about 7.45pm we went to the seaside benches built for us to watch the penguins.

No pictures allowed inside, as the camera flash will distract the penguins from finding their burrow (according to the speakers), so no picture was taken. I actually follow rules.

Penguins are protected animals here,and if you ever attempt to touch/hurt/threaten them, and they attack you, its your fault and you're going to be sued by the goverment.

Even when they cross the road (that are meant for us humans), we have to stop and let him cross on its own accord! We got stopped by those penguin guards, for the penguin to slowly choose its route and walk past us.

End of the day : Group photo

Looking extra fat. Wore 4 layers (including bra :p as Adam consider them 1 layer). It was so damn cold at the seaside while penguin watching. The wind was furious!

While walking to our car, we saw this :

"Most husbands never think of other woman. They're too decent, too refined , too old"

Kinda true if the "too old" applies :p . and mind you, the paint are still fresh. Someone just decided to write on other people's van.
