Traveled to Williamstown on a ferry with a group of genius (not me, I'm still noob), who talk about parasites 80% of the time, to have a farewell lunch for one of them. The ferry departed from Southgate and surfed along the Yarra River, heading towards the sea.
A gigantic cargo ship going to Singapore.
Some posh bungalows with private yacht.
City view from far. It's a really cooling day without any sunshine at all. Finally I can turn back into a polar bear for once this summer. Hehe.
After about 50 minutes, we arrived at Gem Pier, Williamstown. It was built by the convicts during the 19th century and the ships used to load or unload goods from overseas at this pier because it wasn't convenient to navigate through the Yarra River in those days.
Since we arrived a bit early, we wandered around until lunch time.
The buildings here are quite old-fashioned.
Wilkinson memorial drinking fountain.
Then we had our lunch at the Ocean Thai restaurant. And I guess I pointed at the wrong food when the waiter was taking my order. The food that came out looked like the one below the curry that I actually wanted to order in the menu. But anyway, it's still nice though. Lol. Blur case....
Well, as you may have already noticed, I hardly put up photos that you can see my face directly in these past 2 years. Today... I actually wanted to post up my up-to-date-look. However, the waitress didn't seem to support this statement by standing at a very cacated (retarded) angle when taking our group photo. Ended up only a quarter of my face is visible. LOL!! Mou lek....
Left row starting from the front: Prof. Terry (our head supervisor); Vignesh (PhD student); Me (the manually censored noob); Dr. Hayley (co-supervisor) and her husband, Ricky.
Right row starting from the front: Lorraine (Prof. Terry's wife); Paul (Irish PhD exchange student); Stone (Main character of this farewell lunch); Laura (Tim's wife) and Tim (PhD student).
Stone will be going back to China for good to complete his PhD.
Heading back on a nicer ferry. We can sit outside and look at the scenery while enjoying the breeze.
These two hyper kids keep asking the passerby to wave at them. Their reaction was a bit funny when the people waved back. Most people waved back though. Lol.
It's a bit of a thrill ride when we were going under a low bridge like this. Can knock off your head if you don't sit or bend down.
Finally, we're back in the city. Loving the weather to the max.
And I don't feel sleepy at all because of this weather. XD
