AHHHHH Helllo everyone! It's been forever since i last updated my site! HahahaI don't really know where should i start blogging because it's been almost 2 months!
okay first of all.....
Congrats to Dage for being in the top 10 male artiste in star awards this year!
He totally deserved it! Happy for him! hurrrray :)
SYDNEY TRIP.
I actually just came back from Sydney 2 nights ago! it's one of the craziest holiday ever. Jo's been asking me to make a trip to Sydney, and it's pretty much impossible for me to go alone. but after convincing my parents, they finally agreed! ahh i was so looking forward to it. So i booked the tickets, and off i go! I was actually pretty nervous to travel all by myself to Sydney. 8 hours of flight, all alone! But it was all cool, being the only asian in the plane. hahaha kinda felt out of place but everyone was pretty friendly :)
Landed in Sydney at about... 5.15am in the morning. Had to pass through the custom and i was pretty nervous. Just kinda worried that i will get lost in the airport hahaha. Had our luggage checked and waited patiently for jo to come and pick me! She finally arrived and we went for breakfast! Hehehe I was planning to have MacDonald for breakfast but jo said it's pretty expensive in Australia. Everything in aust is pretty expensive actually. I just kept asking jo, "Sing dollars or aust?!" Hahahaha so after we're done eating, i'm heading over to meet my secondary school mate, NANA! But.... my luggage was pretty big so i was thinking to take a cab over. But phewwww the cab from the airport to my friend's place cost about $60, which cost about 80SGD! It's tooo expensive for me so i decided to take a train. And the train ride cost $16.20 which is 21SGD. For a moment i appreciated Singapore's public transport. Hahaha being really budget and broke for this trip, i had no choice, so joanne left for school and i went to meet nana! :)
Hahaha was so happy to see her, we have so much to talk about. it's been so long!
Went to stay over at her apartment. Hehehe and we went for early lunch at about 10am in the morning! I was totally restless, being totally awake for 8 hours in the plane, and heading off immediately after i landed without sleeping! LLOLL
Nana brought me to Darling Harbor, which is really near her place. So we walked around and took a few pictures. It a really nice place, and the place is just like Singapore's Clarke quay!
Nana left for class so i just walked around the central area for 2 hours! I was really sleepy because i didnt catch a wink for almost 24hours lolol. But i managed to survive and waited for nana to end her lesson and we went to the fish market for lunch with nana's bf as well :)

Sydney fish market! |
There's a whole flock of birds by the beach waiting for the opportunity to eat our food! And they literally just fly and steal your food if you're leaving your food on the table without paying attention to it. It's so funny and nana kept screaming because quite few annoying birds attempted to steal our food! hahahaha Went back to take a nap while nana went for her 2nd class! Hahaha i was really exhausted! Went for karaoke at night! surprisingly, their karaoke songs are more updated than KBox!
Day 2! Met joanne in the morning to walk around the city! Market city! :)
We literally spend the whole day shopping. Hahaha our legs ache like crappppp!
Went for dinner at Pancakes on the rock! Was really good! I like the pizza, yummmeh!
After eating we went to see the Opera house and harbor bridge! :)
It's totally dark at about 5:30pm and it feels like the nights in sydney never ends.
Macaroons!!!! Hahaha look at the display! it's so cute and creative :)
Bondi beach early in the morning in day 3! Took the train to meet joanne at the train station!
It's really starting to get cold day by day! Hahaha and i'm out with just a T-shirt.
The weather is kinda perfect to be at the beach! the sunlight is really keeping us warm!
Such a rare moment that i appreciate the sun. LOL
JOANNE! :)
Went for lunch by the beach, we had kangaroo burger! hahahaha okay i think it taste pretty good.... i prefer it more than beef! hahah.
Day 3 was with khouna and justin! We were planning on going to a water theme park on the top of the mountain. But because it's too cold, the theme park is closed till summer. BOOO :(
So justin drove us up to another place, we wanted to went to see the hot air balloon, but because the journey to the place takes about 3 hours, by the time we arrive (4pm), the sun went down :( So we decided to just spend our night in a resort near by till the next morning. | ||
| Underneath the harbor bridge! |
Nananananana :)
Check in at the resort, which is located in the middle of some forest! Super creepy.
the entire place was dark and we're surrounded by trees! for a moment, i felt as tho i was some movie character in a horror movie that is going to die. And someone actually tweeted to me, "Cabin in the woods" LOLOL hahahahaha nearly died laughing!
But the room was really huge with a gigantic jacuzzi! Shiokkkkkkkk much!
Woke up at 9am the next morning to go sand boarding! WOOHOOOOO was super excited!
Then we went to another beach! the view is really beautiful! :)
And if you have the patience, you can just sit on the huge rock and enjoy the breeze, and if you are lucky enough, you will get to see whales! but we werent that lucky that day :(
We left the place at about 1pm in the noon because nana and justin are having test the next day. so they had to studyyyyy! I went over to meet joanne in the evening to catch sunset at opera house! :)
Moving over to joanne's hostel at night! haha had to pack my luggage from nana's place to jo's! Kinda dreadful to drag such a huge luggage over to jo's place by BUS. Freak. Okay.
Spend the night walking around the city again, went to the casino for the first time in my life! it's such a funny and unforgettable experience! Because we both only had chips $20. So we played black jack. We didn't know what to do because it's both our first time!
We actually got 5 cards below 21 points, which is called "5 dragon" BUT... in the casino style,
there isnt such thing. So..... our chips were eaten and we left. Hahaha boohooo :(
Went to the nearby supermarket to kill time.
Had to sleep really early that night because we have to be up at 5am the next morning, which is 3 am in singapore, for some really cool dope adventure!
SKY DIVING.
Hahahahaha yes we're crazyyyy! i actually still cant believe i did this till today.
Me and jo were both actually contemplating if we should. because it's really expensive!
It cost 507SGD. <--- this is shit. And plus we are not too sure if it's safe. We went online to read the reviews and most of them says it's pretty good and safe. So we decided to give it a shot! YOLO!!!!!! I actually wasnt nervous at all. I was just alittle worried and not sure what's going to be like above. So we hop onto the jet, and off we go! And... i don't know if this is unlucky or what, i was the first person from the entire jet to jump. Holyyyy! hahahaha But im brave! SO....
It turned to be fun! It wasn't as scary as i thought it would be. But the air pressure make all of our faces look our of shape. hahahahaha unglamorous much! But i had fun! This is something im going to remember for the rest of my life heheheeheh ;) Im going to try bungee jump nexttime :) Waited for about an hour to get our DVD and pictures and headed for the wild life park!
Feeding the kangaroo! hahahaha there were so many of them and they are so harmless!
All of them were minding their own business and we had a hard time getting their attention!
THIS GOAT. We actually bought a packet of animals food to feed to animals. So we wanted to feed this goat. I don't know if he havent had anything for days. HE LITERALLY ATE EVERYTHING ON MY HAND. Including the paper. HAHAHAhA I was shock! Hopefully nothing happens to him after that. LOLOL
Me and jo wanted to leave the place because we wanna catch the shutter bus in 5minutes time. And we were waiting at the road side and the freaking bus just drove past us and we're like looking at each other.... HAHAHA Crap! we waited like idiots for an hour for the next bus! And it's freezing cold! hahahahaha pretty funny. :p
Had thai food with jo 2 times! it's really goooood ah i love thai food so much ok. LOL
Spending the night at jo's place is always damn funny. I'm always feeling warm while she feels cold! and we had to share blankets because... BUDGET. hahahahaha so this is how stupid we look.
hahahahaha and joanne will always study on her bed and fall asleep after 5minutes. WAH STUDY HAHAHAHAHAHA lololol.
The last day, met khouna and Justin to go the museum! hahaha last day sucks so much :(
Parrots everywhere! ahahhahaha the funny thing was, we were busy snapping pictures. And out of a sudden, all of them flew towards our direction and all of us hand to squat down! HAHAAH Khouna screamed, as usual. Hahahaha was so funny and sudden!
Had a great 8 days in sydney, all thanks to Joanne, Khouna & justin for being such great host and bringing me everywhere despite the fact that they have school and exams! Ah feel so guilty :( But thanks guys hehehehe. i can't wait to attend jo's graduation and trip to Melbourne and goldcoast in 3 years time! i'm pretty sure that day will come. Had a great great trip. Jo sent me to the airport and off i go. hahaha :(
Okay... back to reality. 21 days.
