I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE MELBOURNE AQUARIUM DOESN'T HAVE DOLPHINS.
UN - BELIEVABLE.

this one swam right above us. NICE! and it was gigantic! almost as big as a fridge!

look at all the fish following it!

loner 1.


loner 2.

when i saw these guys i thought ENVYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me and ali made a promise that one day we'd do it!! PINKY SWEAR YA ALI!

i think the shark was as long/tall as i am.

haha it kinda looks as if she was diving.

did you know that the aquarium's glass is as thick as approximately 18 cm?

we played one of the games and luckily, this bitch got a monochromatic "Nemo" DAMN IT.

let me tell you this : she is not playing. she is just pretending.

again, Ali is NOT PLAYING. she's just posin.

we finally found Flounder from The Little Mermaid Ali !!

the smaller version of my big huge doll 'Willy' !

damn it Ali's got it for free and i got it for 15. haha! it's okay, as long as it's a dolphin! :)

the entrance.

Captain 'P'.

what the hell are u looking at Ali.

so who is fatter? Ali or the penguin behind her?

melb aquarium romance...

jackpot.

gee i almost got hit by a car when i took this pic! curse you Ali.

my turn. -_-

go Ali go!

i haven't got a name for this one but i gotta think of a really cute one!

so finally the day ended. me and Ali were super duper tired but we both thought that it was so fun! we were both happy and really enjoyed the day, so we already got the next plan for the next day-out : MELBOURNE ZOO.

so stay tuned ;)

Thanks again Ali, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
