Sydney Trip Day One

Sydney is the first stop of the Australia tour. I must visit all nice places in Australia before I finish my studies and probably before I leave Australia.

It was December last year and we decided to visit Sydney!  I wasn't that excited to go to Sydney few days before the trip because I just came back from Malaysia and I miss Malaysia lots! But nahh, my excitement level simply boosted up without a reason.

We used Tiger Airlines because the tickets were cheap as we bought them during promotion. It was a 1.5 hours flight and we ended up chit-chatting on the flight.. But falling asleep at the last 10 minutes before the flight landed.

Then we took the shuttle bus to our hotel! It was $25 for return ticket, considered cheap because it costs approximately $17.50 one way if we use train.

Great Southern Hotel

After shower, we went for dinner!  Friday night in Sydney is pretty happening.

It's a busy city, the biggest city in Australia I supposed? We walked all the way from our hotel to Darling Harbour.  It took us more than 30 minutes, apparently we were lost because we followed the map which showed the way CARS go.  We nearly walked along the highway.

Finally we arrived at Darling Harbour!  Planned to have the Hurricane's Grill for dinner but we didn't make a reservation so we needed to wait for at least 1.5 hours; we ended up having dinner at Thai Foon, which is a few steps away from Hurricane's Grill.

Thai Foon

Such a beautiful city, how can you not love it?

We had our dessert session! @Lindt Chocolate Cafe
Read the review here!

I'm not a super fan of sweet desserts, so I ordered dark hot chocolate and dark chocolate molten cake.

The dark chocolate molten cake is the first piece of cake which impressed me in my 18 years of life!

After that, we walked to Chinatown for the Mini Egg Custard Bun.

But we bought this at the end!!! The Takos are SERIOUSLY nice. It is available only on Friday night. :(

And heyy, Good night Sydney!

Having fun with the camera and of course, the chit-chat session till late night early morning 3am.

Stay tuned to Our Day Two post! 

p/s got really busy about my personal stuff now and please pray for me. Thanksss! Harsh decision to be made, again.

Check out my Sydney Trip Day 2 & Day 3 here!

Day Trip @Redcliff

Yes I'm here again.. O-week has started but I skipped today's session (*bang!) Uni life gonna be real busy, not sure I will have time to blog or not. studying plus working. this is life.

I scribbled down, 'picnic, sunbathing & swimming at the beach' in my tiny cute diary 2013. and finally there comes the Redcliff trip! We were kind of lost on deciding between Redcliff and Surfers Paradise. We really wanted to go to the Surfers @ Gold Coast but I m not brave enough to drive there (after analysing the streets on google map).  Going onto the highway isn't a big problem but driving around the city is. Those complicated streets!

It took us around an hour to reach there, thanks Myra for driving. (Supposed to be me driving that day HAHA) We headed to Morgans Seafood Stall for our lunch cos we were starving.

 We ordered the Fisherman's basket with scallops, prawns and fish as add-ons.  The seafood was really fresh and not oily as well! The only thing I wasn't impressed was the sauce.

Later on we went to the beach!
The weather was awesome but looked like it's gonna rain anytime, so we did our photo-shooting as fast as possible. snap snap snap...

Yes it rained after half an hour, we ran back to the car and waited for the rain to stop. but... it didn't. sad case.

 That chubby face of mine!! urgh.

Then we went to the another beach with jetty! This is the place I went last time, (Checkout my first trip to Redcliff: Good Friday Picnic)

The 'dead' jellyfish.

It wasn't a long day spent at Redcliff but we're satisfied! Next one at Gold Coast! I gonna dare myself to drive there. (Hah)

p/s I think I miss out something in this post but I can't recall. Geez, I spent an hour writing about this trip just now and then blogger.com told me there's an error. everything's gone. words and pictures gone. All is gone. So this is the second draft of this post.

ciao~

Dinner @Imperial Treasure

This is the second day of my Singapore Trip, well, I should not call it as a trip because I did nothing, except staying in the hotel and walk around the shopping mall which is located next to the hotel, which sells ALL BRANDED STUFFS and seriously they are NOT NICE AT ALL.

Later at night, we got a dinner with Dad's friends, we got lost in the shopping mall.  It's so damn big!

Dinner at Imperial Treasure Marina Bay Sands.

 Lao Sang!  I didn't join them because I was the one who took the photo.

步步高升！

Sharkfin Soup.

Not really nice, it's too salty.

*Please don't kill the sharks*

After all sharkfin doesn't taste good. -.-

 Sea Cucumber is nice!  But dad's cooking is nicer.

 Roasted Chicken/

 My fav, FISH!

fishy fishy do you know how much that I love you?

<3

 Crabs.

Steamed crabs is the best, and apparently this didn't taste good.

 Glutinous Rice.  *OHNO.

 Yam.

TOO SWEET LA.

To conclude, this was not a nice dinner.  My sisters and I were still hungry after the dinner which took us two hours.  Dad and his friends were busy chit-chatting and the boredom killed us.  

HAHA

Anyway, it's still a dinner!

Two more sleeps, then I will be in Brisbane!

Schooldays gonna start soon, Yes, very soon.

Wish me good luck.  and WELCOME February.

23 January 2012, The first day of Chinese New Year, It was raining at Taipei City and it was freezing cold. It's 12 Degree Celsius and i was wearing a coat only!  #I'm strong.

Our first station was 蒋介石纪念馆.  We arrived early in the morning but it was closed!  SAD  D:  We could only visit the garden.

 The sweetest photo of the day.

Then, we went to 蒋介石's house!

It's super duper big.  

-For those who don't know who is 蒋介石, google it.-

I don't know Taiwan's history well, sorry!  

I only know that he was the man who got Taiwan back from Japan!

*Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 He and his wife, who is now living at USA(According to my tour guide)
