Royal Melbourne Show (Better than last years?)
The royal mel show is back again.. from 16th sept to 25th sept. I still remember going for it last year with the ex SAM exco committee members (janelle, danny, renee, and alvina) Josh and paul didnt come. Charmaine was in singapore for her show. Well.... this year... i went with a different group, i went with this year's new SAM exco committee (Jiarong, Keith, Samuel, Rachael, Yi Cheng, Wendy, Kelvin, Kareen) and friends (janelle, jon, danny, oaky, gerard, daniel and Sam's friends) and of course with Kevin. This year however was not as warm and friendly as last year's. People were not going as a group of friends, everyone was scattered, some with thoughts on their minds, bothered by realities etc. It just didn't feel the same. Some didn't come because of some personal problems, sickness, boredom.... well... life indeed changed this second half of the year. But that's another entry altogether.
Nevertheless, I was happy to go for the show again... buying all those showbags, eating the chocos, looking people taking those thrill rides, see fat cows, ugly sheeps, adorable dogs, smelly horses and diving pigs, take pictures, play games, literally.. just enjoying an annual melbourne thing. My last few months in mel... must soak in whatever culture i can before i go home for good.
Manged to get the newoman showbag.. couldn't buy it last year, coz it was sold out. So.. the first show bag i bought was that! Got the FHM one too... that's for kevin. Well... thanks to MI's special... managed to go to the show for $5 (includes transport to and fro and entrance fee). Entrance fee itself was $15 for concession... if i had to take my own transport.. it would cost me another $5 or more for a day ticket. Thank god MI is rich! hahah!
Anyway... this year.. didn't walk the whole area...just the carnival area, and showbags area. Wasn't as fruitful as last year's. But this yr i played more games, wanted to add in to the collection of toys for the car. Kevin and myself played the racing game where u have to throw balls into numbered hols to earn points. We played 4 rounds... finishing either third or fourth.. damn! Okie.. nvm... then we attempted another racing game... this time shoot the water onto the bullseye... again.. we were close. Then kevin tried the shooting game... almost cleared the star... then he tried the throwing the ball into the pail game... all four bounced out. sigh..... kermit will continue to stay single till we win something.. next time round.
well.. this year... bought the willy wonkers showbag again.. but this time bought the mega one.. which came with 4 other small showbags, and one jester cap. hehehe.. cool... twice in a row i have a hat. Didn't buy the cadbury one this year... will try to refrain from chocos!!! hahah yeah right....
anyway... the day was still fun.... at least i had kevin to have fun with me.... i hope he had fun too.. i think he did la. But i wished.. the group was more united.... not as messy....not as troubled too. Well.... that's life eh??
now.. i'm off to next blue... supporting them with this movie screening, shallow hal. Watched it many times.. but well... can get free entry in after that.. so go lor... plus sam and his friends are gng too... but doubt i'll stay long. can't drink anyway.. i'm driving.. heheh good too la... dont have to add the calories.
yawn....
