Protest in Melbourne
Did you ever think of protest in public in Malaysia? Or any streets in Singapore?
Impossible is the answer!
But nothing is impossible over here in Melbourne. Road protest is very common and it has even special escort from the Police! Imagine that....
The protest can varies from Anti Govt, Anti this anti that...the list goes on and on...
This reminds me on today when I just went out to the City to catch a tram to Smith St.
As I am walking to Brouke St figuring out the tram 86 to Smith St, I saw a roar of protest on something on Murray Basin and Brumby's thingy...i wasnt sure the full details...haha.
Need to check it out at theage.com i guess.
Well, as the protest crowd is over, i assume that the tram will reach ...but unfortunately, the tram alert that it has switch another route...which is at La trobe St. Oh my Gosh! I just came down from there to Brouke St and awaiting for the protest to over..And now , what?
I have to walk back to La Trobe St and catch the tram. However upon reaching there. I was confused on the direction of the tram heading to Smith St. I tried to cross to another side of the road perpendicularly and was overjoyed that the tram 86 is right there...but only to know its suppose the returning path ones.
So , I need to cross back to the other lane of the tram perpendicularly...well, dont ask me why its perpendicularly and not just across the road..very weird road system here due to the tram !!
Well, I managed to get to Smith St. to get to one of the pharmacy shop to get my Logic programming book from one of Pr Ngoh's friend's son in law. Haha...thats the nearest path I can get the book other than at Glen Waverly!
Well, I am kind of happy because I managed to get there without any much trouble and back again :D(Self applause to myself :P)
And another note, sad news is due to changes that I made on the air flight ticket from this coming Dec to next Jan for CNY, I have to be paying AUD 85!! Super expensive...AUD 60 (one flat charge) + AUD 25 (service charge).
I was kinda reluctant initially and thinking to go back and perhaps do the changes through telephone yet...I am thinking why not since I have already reached there.
Hmm..still evaluating am i so stupid?
Keke...more ramblings to come...:)
