The moment I arrived in Caulfield, Yi Hui brought me to visit her uni and I immediately felt like a tourist in her hands.
Anyway, I wasn't so intrigued by the university itself. Rather, I will have to give my praises to her for introducing a good restaurant with a good lunch.
Crispy noodles with braised chicken. And oh, it tasted awesome. Kept me asking for more.
And this is her favourite beef curry rice. I don't have to tell you how good it was. Look at the next picture.
She was clearly very satisfied and happy with her choice of meal. See that?Right after lunch, we took a train to Chadstone. I was admittedly more excited than her about going to Chadstone, since it was my first.
And so, I thought that Chadstone is going to be huge, like MidValley or Queensbay or even bigger than both.
Omg we finished circling the whole mall in less than an hour. it isnt as big as i thought it would be! I had no idea why it is deemed as the biggest mall here. Maybe it is big because they had Myer, David Jones, Woolsworth and Coles alongside with all the retail shops. Or maybe because all the high-end shops just sent me running?
Somehow, not that satisficing because I had not bought what I wanted to buy.
Immediately, a brilliant idea flashed across Yi Hui's mind. We were going to Springvale to get some mangoes. And off we went, led by the thirst for mangoes.
I told you. We were really excited!
P/s: Note how the guy carried the baby =.=
We took a bus back to Caulfield before taking another train for the fruits. We were happily chatting on the train as usual and that was when I came up with one of the 'most intelligent' question ever. I asked Yi Hui on which was the last station before we enter zone 2. Okay you see, here, we have zone 1 and zone 2. Hence, we have separate tickets for the different zones and a failure to produce the right ticket at the correct stop will result in us being fined for...a handsome amount of AUD172. Per person. No discount even if we are students. =.=
After the question was posted, she smiled to me. Stop chatting and checked her phone.

"I think springvale is in zone 2"
My heart failed at that very moment. We were both carrying only zone 1 tickets. Our hearts paced faster and faster and we were betting on our lives that there wont be any officers around to check our ticket on the train. We passed the first round. There were indeed no officers on the train. Thus, the beatings of our heart slowed down :)
But when we were about to reach the Springvale station, we almost suffered heart failure. There were at least 6 to 7 officers there, blocking the exit and checking every one's ticket as they walked past. Yi Hui managed to calm me down a little by saying that they'll be entering the train to check and since we were already out of the train, we were, technically...safe.
Her assumption was way wrong! They did not board the train. They were still there. WTF.
Hundreds of thoughts were playing in our mind at that time. One thing for sure, we shall never ever admit our fault. We will deny it until the very end because we were seriously unaware of the zone. And to be fined for AUD172 is seriously idiotic.
So, we had our tickets on our hands and we braved ourselves to walk past the officers. I was already prepared to cry there, if that can gain me some sympathy :P
Ironically, they checked every one's tickets except ours. We were a bit lost at that moment and quickly exited the gate. Okay, I lied about the exiting part.
I was walking slowly and Yi Hui was gently pushing me from the back. Seriously, I wanted to run but my legs just wouldn't move. I reckoned it's muscle failure, coupled with multiple heart failures earlier.
We were somehow dazed with what happened earlier and we walked aimlessly for a while before deciding what to do. I guess food plays a good cure as it helps us to refuel our body and also divert the focus from our brain to our stomach.

Pork bun. It's good. It's filling.
It made me smile too. And forget about the ticket crisis.
Not forgetting the role of bubble tea that also helped to calm both of us down.Ahh...we definitely need more rest now.
