I was off to the races last Tues... it's a very big thing here in Melbourne.. that it's declared a public holiday!!
It started with me feeling super excited the night b4 where Ashley came over to coach me on hair curling where we had so much fun dolling up... and also she was an angel doing my nails... to a pretty berry colour! Then it was off to bed.........
The next day.. I was up early to dressed up for the event... with a Black Ribbon that I borrowed from Gie.... Tucking it neatly on the top of my head... it did add to the occasion.. wished we had this back in Singapore... Off for a hearty breakfast at De Gras Lane... and off to Flemington...
On the train.. you could see all the people so dressed up.. all pretty and handsome.... We went for the race with Carilyn(with white flower), Garmand(with the Vest) and Evan (With Red Feather) whom was visiting from SG.... so long never see her.. it's good to meet up once again.... and also... Yong Xiang(In beige suit) and Chun li(with red hat)....
The atmostphere was amazing.. much crowd and everyone with a bottle of alcohol in their hand.. people having their own mats and sitting around on the ground while they set up for a pinic to enjoy the races..... Every girl I saw had their own Fansinator.. so interesting to look at......
The first race started at 10:20 am to the last one at 5:20pm.. where we made several bets.. but only one of the races I won... you can see me holding the lucky ticket in my hand! But overall.. nah..... did do so well....... but it's all good fun!
So who's coming to visit next year? Be sure to come during the Melbourne Cup!! :D
