Sydney

Hi Netizens!
I've not checked in much because the happenings are all updated on facebook.

I went to Sydney if you haven't already known. And since then I've had the world asking me how my Sydney trip went.

I would hate to disappoint but I must say that it was not as wonderful as you'd have imagined.

It was a short 4 day trip, wherin two were 'free and easy' days. In other words, 'get lost' days. Yes, this is in spite of owning a map. I don't remember doing excellently in Geography in my secondary school days.

Yes so we were pretty much exploring the streets on our arrival day. I had no choice but to buy a SIM card to use google map. I've never really grasped how to use it while I was in Singapore. In fact, I've never touched that application. So I learnt it all in Sydney and realized its prowess. Henceforth, I would love to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the founders of Google map. Thank you.

I simply loved the weather. It was my first time exploring a 'cold' country. It was the Winter season over in Aussie at the time of my visit. All the places I'd been to had terrible tropical climates that isn't so different from Singapore's, although still better. Singapore, has by far, the worse climate ever for my dermatology. When i was in Australia, my skin was totally clear and never oily, and my hair was always smooth and silky. I think I have found my home.

As much of a joke it may seem, I had most of my meals from Chinatown. So I had mostly Asian meals. No, I didn't manage to visit the famous Sydney Fish Market, to your very horror I believe. Everyone fell off their chair upon hearing this piece of news. I didn't have time, and my hotel was too far from it. I didn't know how to use the railway system cos' it was super complicated. Taxi fares were crazy and we were going budget. It is a big mistake though. One should never go budget in Aussie. It's where you experience its delight and uncover its beauty, at a price.

Of course it wasn't all that bad. As disappointing as it may sound, I did enjoy myself tremendously. If I could go there a second time, I would definitely get a hotel near Central area, and a companion who drives a car.

Allow the picture to do the talking.

Had the most short-lived but wonderful experience at this quiet, lovely town, Leura village.

Spotted some dolphins while we were out at sea.

The gorgeous beach and cool air. First ever experience of an air-conditioned beach.

My first ever visit to the desert! O_O

I somersaulted off my board while sandboarding, by the way.
 

Had a serene lunch at the grape vine.

Not forgetting, Shopping! I got this winter coat for 19.95AUD.
I have fallen in love with Winter fashion. Reminds me of Harry Potter, every day.

It was about to give me a punch.

Some mountain landscape. Bloody chilly here.

There's loads more pictures to share but they're on my facebook. Check them out if you'd like!
