to melbourne, to melbourne!

as some would know, sio and i managed to get something done in our recent trip to melbourne. in fact, yaoks, sio and i are now proud owners tenants of a penthouse* unit in an apartment block, located at the junction of Spring Street and La Trobe Street; we're five minutes away from school.

the apartment is very very bare right now, and we can't wait to fill it up with our things! well, sorta. the thought of having to furniture shop does scare me, what with the added cost and all. still! we have a nice apartment that i'm going to thoroughly enjoy holing up in :)

pretty beat now, so i'd just present some pictures to tide us over.

notes:

1. penthouse. by "penthouse" i mean we're on the highest floor, less the double-storey, sundeck, super-glam living provisions though.

2. in my notes, the order of bedrooms have been changed (as compared to the floorplan).

i'm well-versed in the art of magic...

that is the magic of making pictures move with the <marquee width="NUMBER"><img src="URL"></marquee> tags.

and we did think of getting a quaint little victorian house to stay in, but didn't get down to checking those out for various reasons. maybe after this lease ends :)

lastly, i've got more stitched-up panos in store for your viewing pleasure! :)
