HEY Y'ALL! I'm back from my trip :-D (Very long ago actually but nvm)
Yeah I've took a long break from blogging but this post is gonna be
the longest of all cause there are PEEKTUREZ that can't be taken in
Singapore :-) You need a first-class-airticket to take them. ( But I didn't
go firstclass this year cause we're in Qantas :(. I get FirstClass in SQ
flights :-D ) I took plenty of videos but my phone's really cool and it can
take pictures from videos! (Just not very clear) So yeah, here they are :-).
Hmm and the weather that week we were there was really rainy and
cold, like 18~26. But still I love the whole thing. Omg, I wish I stayed there )-:
Day1
Arrived in Sydney Airport at 8.00 and Uncle Henry, my father's university
friend, picked us up at 8.50. And that afternoon before we arrived, the
weather was 35. And Uncle Henry's a kind chap and he even did
marketing for us in case we had no time. How sweet. He drove around
the city area for us as a night tour then went back to our hotel/apartment.
The location's really convienient cause its like, cross a bridge and
HELLO CITY! And for Australia, thats really near cause to them, 1/2 hour
of driving is so short but for Singapore, you can drive across the whole
country already. Went out and had our semi-dinner (kebabs and pizza) at
eh, Harbour City (?) Anyway it was like, 1am so there were loads of
drunkards around. And you know, Sydney's really gay. As in they have
PARTIES for gays. And Uncle Henry's wife, Auntie Jeanie, in her office,
its like only 3 of them (including her) aren't gay. How gay is that, seriously.
Went back and sleep (-:
A very colourful Xmas tree near Pyrmont bridge.
Day 2 (Sunday)
Went to the City and Shopshopshop :-D You know the sales there are like,
really SALES. Kinda Crazy until you can't believe it. And then there was this
MASSIVE DIESEL SALE there, and I got my Xoxo schoolshoes (look like keds)
at only $20. UP was, $90. And all the prices there are always like, 9.95,
14.95 and stuff. And then sometimes, they just round it up -.- Lunched at this
YumCha Rest. that UncleHenry recommended then met Jolene and her fam.
We went to the fishmarket and they had their lunch, fish & chips. Really really
fresh fish and really really tasty chips. As in you can actually taste potatoes.
Mac Donalds ones are like tasty, yeah, but it doesn't taste like potatoes!
Anyway later we went to Paddy's Market and because it was around 4-5pm,
they had auctions because the storekepers were going home. So we bought
REALLY SWEET MANGOES AND REALLY SWEET PEACHES and VERY
FRESH MACADAMIA NUTS. The nuts are so fresh,
the unsalted ones are the best :-)
Later Uncle Henry and Aunty Jeanie came and they drove us out of Sydney
City, to the other part of Syndey. Chadswood. I was really tired then so halfway
I just videoed the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Its really nice.
I just like these angles :-)
Under the bridge
Then later we went to this really expensive restaurant and he ordered a very
huge lobster (pic next time)(It was still alive before it was cooked) and
peking duck(This one's dead though) and oyster(Still in its shell) and
abalone (Also in its shell and some poo with it) Its like the seafood are
so fresh like SASHIMI. But I don't like it. ): I only like the duck :-) But
seriously, I'm happier with a HAPPY MEAL :-D
And then later we visited his house (very near) and then he drove us back
to the hotel. Oh and the hotel's really big. Its like as big as my house minus
a room. Really fab.
Day 3 (Monday) Walked to Elizabeth Street and took a bus to Bondi Beach :-) Ohmyg, the
SurferDudes there are like so H O T. But hmm maybe they're gay. Oh well.
They're still hot, no kid. That day, only my brother had a bodyboard so it was
really pointless when the waves just crashed into me and thats all. So I didnt
really do much there. Oh and the water's really cold. Freezing more like.
That day's temp was like, 23. But the water's FIFTEEN! Lunched at HungryJacks
then headed home. It was raining (drizzling only but they call it
THUNDERSTORM) when we walked back so it was really cold. Took shelter
at worlds square before we continued and saw REBEL SPORT :-) (Its a shop
that UncleEddie, Jolene's Dad, recommended but we didn't find it) and we saw
this amateur surfboard that my brother liked and but we're buying it on
Tuesday. :-) So I get the Bodyboard :-D Score.
Day 4 (Tuesday)
Took the Free Shuttle to Circular Quay to find out about the ferry to Manly we're
taking the next day then walked to Sydney Opera House.
After that we walked to the central part and lunched and went to World's
Square and my bro got his board. Cause its like so big and stuff, my Dad
asked my bro to go back first and meet us at QVB (Queen Vic Building)
2 hours later (it takes 1/2 hour to go back actually...) So after shopping we
waited at QVB bustop
(Very Harry-Potter like :) If you look closely you can see 'QVB' there on the
purple part.)
So anyway, when we were at the busstop, he wasn't there. And we waited
for an hour but he still wasnt there so we went back to the hotel and half
an hour later he returned and turns out he was waiting at the other side.
Uncle Rick (Mom's bro) came and we had dinner at Chinatown then back
to the hotel.
Day 5 (Wednesday) We took the Ferry from Circular Quay to Manly. That day's weather was
forecasted (and their forecasts are quite accurate) that it would be
thunderstorm the whole day. But later in the morning they said, just the
afternoon. The Ferry was great, and the wind was super-strong and
there were 420s/470s sailing! And bigger yatches.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
So when we reached there it was actually sunny. Then surfsurfsurf.
But Bondi's waves are much stronger. This one's not as cold though.
Fish&Chips for lunch and then we walked along MARINE PARADE :-D
But this one's like, a REAL parade. So it was kinda like a nature walk
thang but I like the rocks. And the others. Veh interesting. So pics here:
Weird Rock Part 1
Weird rock Part 2
Classy house
Strange flower.
Looks like an animal :-O
More Daisies :-D
The leaves look like SNOWFLAKES! Really cool. And on the day we came back,
in the airplane, On the window, there were REAL SNOWFLAKES! Very pretty.
Later we took the ferry back (afternoon) and it began to thunderstorm. And it was
really chilly, around 16. And the wind was very very very strong.
Sydney City on a wet day: (Looks like its snowing eh.)
Day 6 (Thursday)
SHOPPING DAY! For us and for the Sydney-Siders. You know its like, they end work at 4 (So early uh) And end earler on Thursday (shopping day) and end earlier on Friday (Before the weekends) so its like, they barely work! Walked to the rocks first, a place where Australia started (something like that) then blah blah blah. Later shopped around the whole CBD. QVB, Myer (6 stories high! Its a deparmental store, like Taka), David Jones, CentrePoint and other small shops along the street. And then we went to Market City (above Paddy's Market) then went to Paddy's Market and bought some more MANGOES and MAC. NUTS :-D Then home and dinnered :-) And that day at 6, Pyrmont Bridge (the bridge that links my hotel area to the City) opened! For a teensy boat to get through. And it held up like, a few hundreds of people.
That tall white boat was the one that went through. I still cant find it when
it went through in my video :-O
Day 7 (Friday) Went to Bondi Beach again and surfsurfsurfed :-) But that day, it was
raining, like since we woke up. Until we slept. Very cold weather and
though the water (in the sea) was supposed to be warm, it was still
really cold. Like 16. The weather was 17. But still its like once you're in
the water and soak your whole body, your body gets numb and so you
don't feel a thing.
And then once after my bro and I switch boards, we went a little too right.
So we got caught in a rip (A strong current that pushes you out) and my
brother's board's string thang got entangled around my leg (-.-) so its
like omg? I couldnt get up on the board. But like some lifeguard came
and just told us to go back and yep we switched boards back and I body
board back :-) But later that night, the news said that one father drowned
in a beach (not bondi) because his sons were caught in a rip and
there wasnt any lifeguard there so he tried to save them but drowned.
His sons survived. Kinda scary :-S
So that night we packed our bags and finished the
not-to-be-brought-back-food.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've ben mapling these few days so thats why I'm not online on
MSN that often :-D I'm bored alright so yeah.
And we had this 6I Gathering last week, thurs, 18 dec. And at first it really
shitted because most of the girls didn't wanna play the games so
like later the guys said that if you don't join the game, you'll get sprayed
and after the ice&water, it was really really fun. Amazing stuff.
We totally bonded :-) Whack-O, T&D, etc. etc. But later HongMun
and Clara were water-fighting and they went too near me. So it was like
when Hongmun splashed Clara, then Clara dodged and all the water
went on my right-side and into my pocket. And in my pocket was my
PHONE )-': And then later it had so many problems but when the
problems came, Hongmun went off. Wth. I sent it for repair on Saturday
and the warranty's VOID because of water damage and my phone's
still SQUARE ONE. And I called Hongmun and I asked her to get me
a new one (its her fault wtheck) and she's like "I'll think about it" D-: She
better pay la wth. Its friggin ex, like $700 and I love this phone. Its so
handy-dandy. Really slim. w890i.
Went to RG on Friday and omg the students there are so ODDITY
please. Can die. But really funny. Its like the way they walk? So robo.
And then they talk like like ehh TREVOR & CHERLYN. Very weird. No kid.
I wish MGS nearer laaaaaaaaa. But Andrew's house is very near RGS
AHAHAHHAHA. And the good thing is that its really near TOWN :-) BYE!
MERRY
CHRISTMAS
EVERYBODY! :-D
(And I'm waiting for my prezzie!)
