Around 30 degree celsius, at a desert-like-clearing with sands attacking every eye
I had a phonetic lecture that I was really reluctant to attend before rushing to the Birrarung Marr at 11am
But the fact that some diehard fans had been lining up there since 4am had somehow slightly relieved my remorse
It was like I couldn't get myself a "fengshui spot" even if I skipped my lecture and arrive earlier anyway

I only managed to get myself a spot about 30 metres from the relay screen
So, after standing in the sun for 1 hour, Ellen and Portia finally showed up
Before this I only got to watch her shows thru Youtube and that moment I learnt that I was her at the same city, same area, though I didn't get to see her in person,directly at the moment
So then, Ellen Degeneres, had been really generous, as her name suggests, by giving away some surprise donation and free tix to US to some contestants, and lots of other freebies to the audiences at the main stage. The whole show is about fun, jokes, music, laughter and dance.
Portia didn't really appear much but the couple's really cute and deserve lots of blessing.
She finally managed to show her love one the place that she grew up from, the place she spent her childhood from and I guess the trip would be really memorable for the two of them.
Ellen has been so amazing and unbelievable, that day I finally witness the possibility of human being to be so positive, despite of the pressure around, she still can be happy, bold, funny, caring, sensible, energetic, grateful, kind...Such perfect personality, such goodness!
She knows how to keep it up and achieve a dream and yet never forget to help the others achieve their dream.
I truly hope Ellen and Rossi will be staying together no matter what happens in the future. With the inspiration resulted from they inspiring each other, people knows that they could strive to be better person.
Also, with the crowd of thousands ppl at that event, I realize that thr are still bunch of Australians that really care much about equality (unless some simply went for the comedy element), that really reminds me of the adorable Australians that defended the Sri Lankan asylum seekers. Long live Aussie!
On the way back to my uni, I managed to grab an ellen tennisball (the event giveaway by Ellen), so it actually makes my days, to date, haha
