It's been days since I last posted. Like what, 5 February or something similar. Shall start the post by rewinding back all the way to CNY.

SYDNEY TRIP

DAY 1 Of Wonderful Sydney Trip

Well we took the A380 to Sydney. Though the seats are the same as any other commercial planes, the landing and taking off was very quiet. That's not the main point anyway. Landed in Sydney Airport at 7 am ( Sydney time is 3 hrs behind Singapore time) which makes it 4 am in Singapore. Weather- Breezy, Sunny but not too hot and humid. Temperature 17 degrees. Anyway on the 1st day went to Hunter Valley which was an 5 hrs ride from Sydney itself. Saw many many many vines yard and plantation. We stopped over and I had Mango Sorbet. It was delicious and my mum had coffee with "drawing". Shall post pictures later. By the time we reached the hotel, it was already 7pm or so. Checked into Stamford Hotel, which looked very quaint and preeety. They had a big pond in the middle of the hotel and a big swimming pool where a "waterfall" hung over it. Hotel room was very big, had a study room, bath tub and a king size bed. Bunked in with my sister. The tv shows were quite good showed The Simpsons. Oh on the way to Hunter Valley we stopped over for Fish and Chips. It was great and their coke bottles are in glass instead of the normal can kind. And for dinner we had lobster, it was amazing.

DAY 2 of Wonderful Sydney Trip

We went to Blue Mountain. There is only one word to describe it - LOVELY. It's freezing there as well. What puzzled me was that the sky cleared immediately when we stepped out of the car. It was as if there was a divine intervention then. The mountains indeed looked blue apparently due to the release of volatile oils produced by the eucalyptus forests. ( The plant that the koala eats and the ingredients found in Feng You) Nest we took the cable car down the Blue Mountain and we saw a real waterfall. After that we went to the Vietnam area and had lunch, late lunch at 4pm. After that we went to a mall where we bought nothing much cause most of the shops are closed after 5pm. Went to the local supermarket and bought sweets and stuff. Nothing much happened today. Most of the time was spent sleeping in the car because it was just too cooling. With the breeze blowing at your face all the time, no one can deny that they can hardly sleep.

DAY 3 of Wonderful Sydney Trip

We went to their wholesale centre where we bought a lot of fruits and nougats. This was when the battery in the camera went bonkers and was drained off. Bought 2 cartons of mangoes and cherry. Next we went to the Sydney Fish Market where we bought 2 lobsters, 1.5 kg of prawns, 2 crabs, 24 oysters, calamari, sushi and sashimi. Two words to describe the scene- Chaos & Blurp~~. Next we went to the Factory Outlets where I bought 1 Billabong bag, 1 Quiksilver bag & 1 quiksilver slipper.

DAY 4 of Wonderful Sydney Trip

Today's hotel was excellent. Stayed just on the side of Darling Harbour. Though we didn't got a view of the harbour we had a lovely view of the city. The hotel was near the casino and my mum won 900 au in the casino. Visited the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Pretty. Took lots of photos there and had delicious ice cream there. One chocolate covered and one with nuts on it on something. Next was the Opera House, light showers with strong breeze blowing at our face when we visited it. Some Korean people were filming then so quite a lot of people crowded around at a corner. Next we went to Chinatown and bought abalones before we headed for Paddington Market which is so cool cause they sold everything we need there. Bought a bookmark, notebooks and a jacket. Post pictures later. Dinner had lobsters again and seafood.

DAY 5 of Wonderful Sydney Trip

Last day in this magnificent place. Seriously had an idea of staying and studying in Sydney. Headed for the airport real early and before I left I bought some Simpsons comic which are really very funny. Bought three more items before we boarded the plane. Bought two wallets and a t-shirt. Welcome back.

Exams had just finished. Got back some paper and I am still fine with it now. I have a ominous feeling about my maths now. Think I am going to fail it terribly cause it was really very difficult. But let bygones be bygones. It's over. I just finished reading 5 peoples you meet in Heaven, it was very good. Remembered this fantastic line-

Life Ends but Love doesn't.

Something so simple yet so meaningful.

Back to reality, went to the airshow on Saturday. Crowded, lots of people and lots lots pf people. Jam Jam Jam, Heat Heat Heat and Sweat Sweat Sweat. My conclusion- HOT! Indeed their slogan "Too Hot Too Miss!" Shall pray real hard in hope that I can pass my maths. And my sister went to watch the Dim Sum Dollies and they had funy pamplets. And to end this post look at this
