Day 5

It's monday! And it's labour day! With no holiday =.=" how sad... And the transports are highly confusing.... Bleh... I took the 7.24 coach to southern cross with Anita and Amoz... And Ash... we (anita and i... Or just me...) didn't expect ash to be on the same coach but we were... Hehe... There was a hailstorm on saturday and according to people, the hails were the size of golf balls... There was also lots of rain that streets were flooded... And winds went up to 100 km/h... Wow... we arrived at southern cross and i took a few pictures of the partially collasped roof but they weren't very good because the part that broke was plastic-ish and the light made it almost invisible.... On the camera... Haha... I usually take the train from platform 12 but part of that roof collasped so the trains were moved to platform 13... Amoz missed his train so he took the one that was going ahead of the train he missed... Eg. The same as mine... XD but i got off at flinders street to catch the train that goes to pakenham since i was on the train to frankston... It's faster to go to flinders and wait for the train there anyway... Hehe...

i read on the metlink website that the trains between oakleigh and dandenong would be replaced by coaches... By which i'm confused because the tv for the train said that it was stopping at all stations... Ahhh... public transport... How i love you to the extreme opposite... Haha the train was stopping at a station and the announcement volume was distorted xD

"METRO NOW ARRIVING AT hawksburn..."

haha it was funny i nearly lol'ed xD

so apparently, the trains were replaced by buses... And i was right xD hehe i took the bus to uni and i think these buses have hydraulics for passengers to board and alight... Sugoi! Hehe... I arrived 1 hour before the lecture because it's labour day and transport run on weekend times... Grr... i hung out with caylie for an hour xD

when it was about 10.45, we both headed off to our lectures... I was seated... With kai, jon and richard... We had a replacement lecturer i think... But i prefer our original lecturer... even though her indian accent was stronger... She spoke slower... After that lecture, we had a "break" which was a "break" because i thought jon, richard and tim were in the same lecture... in fact, i still think they are... Haha xD we had the algorithimics lecture and after that we went to a bbq =P free food!! Hehe xD after the free bbq, we headed to the computer programmibg lecture. i didn't print any lecture notes because he went through them quite quickly last time but today, he seemed to have gone slower... Ah well... Next time i'll bring my laptop... Hehe...

after the lecture, i headed home. The trains at huntingdale were replaced by buses too but people seemed to have forgotten that... Hahaha we all went to the platforms xD then it was found that there weren't going to be any trains coming, we headed back out to the bus stops =P after catching the replacement bus to the station, we caught the train... On the train, there were 2 people inbetween the carriages... Outside.... I took a few photos... Hehehe xD i hope those photos are clear though...

I missed the 4pm coach to marshall because the train decided to go round the city loop... =.= i bought myself an ice cream and walked around the station... Taking some photos... Hehe.... I met up with cath and we intended to go back on the same bus but.... The buses are all express... To their individual stops... Gah.... I didn't see the point though because the buses were quite empty..... =.= well... It was for the bus to marshall...
