sick of sydney?

not just yet! after the aquarium we went for lunch at darling harbour, at this place called im angus steakhouse. i like! seems like there’s nothing i dislike huh?

we were rather bored while waiting for food. and yes im also bored enough to go create the collage.

ah happiness! my smoked salmon and prawn linguini. mmm~

darling harbour we were gonna cross the pyrmont bridge and decided to take some photos.

on the bridge i convinced eugene to let me take a jump shot

national maritime museum.. entrance was free so we decided to go take a look

at the swimmers exhibition.. look at that woman! i thought she was a man and only wearing a very high waisted pair of swimming trunks but i realised its so low because her boobs arent where they’re supposed to be anymore! omg i dont wanna grow old.

pretty photo of the city and one of the ferries that was leaving.

the above 4 photos are my storyboard! eugene and chinhowe had to try a few times before a successful jump shot photo was taken. we then headed to star city.. their casino.

they have a lyric theatre, where they were showing phantom of the opera. didnt get to watch it again!

the escalator up to star city i like

when we came back.. decided to take a prettier photo of darling harbour!

decided to stop at lindt chocolatier cafe which is just next to the steakhouse we had lunch at.

and this is what we had. mmm warm chocolate cake with white chocolate ice cream.

after we cut it open.. mmm!

just to say we’ve been to queen victoria building

and she was wearing sneakers! i wouldnt mind a new pair actually!

back at the hotel room, freshening up before we go for dinner.

and at the ground floor of the hotel there was this hawker place. the smoke from the cooking set off the fire alarm and the fire engine was here in less than 5 mins! it was scary that we had to come down from the room though.. but quite funny when the hotel manager switched it off. and then switched the alarm on again when the fire truck was arriving. and no the firefighters werent very hot

 

that was the last night of the trip ah we should have stayed longer. im going back again definitely!

and here’s part 2..

of my i-like-sydney trip! after we had our very satisfying fill at the fish market.. we headed to bondi beach. ah i love! 

see see so pretty! i wouldnt mind owning a beach house here.. joe doesn’t like beaches much cause there’s too much sand.. i would love to go walk along the water! we didnt this time round. but next year we are!

another photo i took along the coastal walk. thought it was nice that there were people running and jogging and bringing their dogs out for walks

the four of us!

standing by the rocks.. me and chinhowe climbed down towards the sea.. it was fun!

and i just wanted to demonstrate my photography skills quick chin howe thank me!

and yes this is the pool i want! its right nxt to the bondi icebergs bar and its so cooooool. its not heated though thats why people were in their wetsuits when they were swimming. and oh there were MANY surfers too. wish i were one of them!

we headed back after having ice cream at movenpick.. wouldnt mind going again in summer ah!

the next day..

we were off to manly beach, following joe’s dad’s recommendations. took the ferry there think it took about half an hour maybe?

eugene, me and chinhowe.

the view of the harbour bridge.. so pretty! we could see people at the top of it.

me, xiangfei.. and syndey who joined us for the day.

tada~ manly beach. and oh we had fish and chips there! just to say we did too bad i didnt get to hold the takeaway paper. well.. plenty of chances!

eugene, chinhowe, xf and me.. we got sydney to take a group photo for us. manly beach is like a suburb area. we didnt have much to do so we left after awhile.

*drumrolls

the sydney opera house wasnt as magnificent as its made out to be but hey at least we can all say we’ve been to it!

had our fair share of silly photos outside. so tourist-y!

 as the evening came it became darker its so pretty. and so city i miss home!

yes the harbour bridge again..

 

 

me and xf in mr and mrs smith and han and jason brought us to the syndey aquarium the next day. they’re in dent too but live in sydney.. i like darling harbour!

xf, eugene, han and jason at the entrance

 totally random but how cool is this! i wouldnt mind a pair of clear eyelids acting as goggles when i swim *nods

we got to view the crocodile from above.. and i thought the sign was more interesting than the crocodile heh.

isnt this silly? its just vegetation. at first i was still looking for whatever was supposed to be there.

 and oh oh nemo! and dory! and the ugly squid and octopus. took photos of the other species but nah lazy to put them up

and i think this photo is cool. my scarf, my feet and the seal

smiling widely for the camera. we look like secondary school kids!

okay this post is getting too long will write another to finish up the trip!

oh sydney

i shall miss!

my flight was at 830 am on friday.. and i only got 3 hours of sleep before that cause i got home past 1 and i hadnt packed! so when we reached sydney it was natural that i wanted to nap awhile before going out to explore the city anyhow our hotel was in the chinatown area.. and my first impression was “this feels just like hongkong!”

when we were walking to circular quay the first night.. i decided to start taking photos oh oh we had dinner at this korean restaurant “seoul-ria” mmm how yummy!

at circular quay.. waiting for joe to bring us to see the night life. he brought us to argyle. i love! it was so pretty and it was huge.. some club/pub in a historical building near the rocks.

world square: bought my shoes here the previous pair kind of died on me cause we walked too much. we also had ding tai fung on the last night it was newly opened. and the girls were pretty and polite! ask chin howe haha. made him stand there so i could take a photo.

they have this shop ( 85°C ) with all these little desserts. isnt this the prettiest? but they put coconut in their cheesecake yuck.

yay sydney fish market! ive decided to go there every time i go sydney

and this is why. our seafood platter, salmon sashimi and the lobster. mmm the sashimi was sooo good! *gives contented sigh oh we also had fresh oysters but i dont like this family of seafood so.. no photo space! heh.

alright there’re too many photos to post i shall leave them to part 2 (yes i get lazy sometimes.)

i like sydney!

*takes a deep breath

ahh the smell of freedom!

my brother says he’d rather i write another post and see me make any changes to how the site looks. hmm. there you go!

*twirls around and around

even though i wont be coming home this july.. i’ll be travelling around australia! first to sydney with chin howe, xiangfei and eugene. and then to gold coast and melbourne with my boyfriend

sounds like i have a packed schedule yes? actually i’ll be home alone for 10 days cause my housemates all have plans.. sobs. but well im sure i’ll find something to do!

okay im kinda lazy to blog about all that’s happened so far.. so maybe i’ll do one big update eventually.

bonsiour!
