sydney 9 may

we had a super full agenda that day. wanted to go to pancakes on the rocks, visit the weekend markets on the rocks, take pics of harbour bridge and opera house, and go right up to opera house look see look see, and then go to fish market, and THEN to bondi beach.

ok pancakes on the rocks rocked as usual lol. and it was pretty much about lunchtime when we were done so it was more like lunch rather than breakfast. den we went walking about the weekend markets which were more atas-ish than the paddy markets ones, and quite interesting.. we saw this spray painter and a glass melter (ok i duno the name) and caricature artists.. and this booth that we could try sauces with chips/tacos and it really reminded me of byron bay..their sauces went from mild to like ULTIMATE and they had scores from 1/10 to err i think 11/10? which weibin tried and was crazy. there was this mango habanero one too and it tasted similar to what i did! and i was like excitedly asking everyone to try the sauces but no one was nearly as crazy as weibin to try that. i think irene did try the mango habanero-ish one?? and weibin found his long-lost peanuts and had a nice little reunion with it lol. and then ling and irene bought fudge which looked nice and i wanted to buy also but i decided not to =/ and we saw these really pretty intricate complicated pop-up cards that were super nice!!! :) and we got the guy's hopes up he was looking really happy but in the end we nv buy. haha. and then we went and walked into the superbee honey shop where everyone was trying honey except me and zj cause we did that already at currumbin the other time. haha.

ok and then we went and took photos of harbour bridge and opera house etc..and i got the scare of my life because i think weibin pressed the display button accidentally and my whole display went out and i was like GAH IS MY CAMERA SPOILT and i was really sian for some time because i thought oh crap so my phone's spoilt and now my camera's spoilt too.but then eventually after taking many fotos with other ppl's camera ling tried mine and just presed the DISP button and the display came on again. i was like PHEWWWW. and then we went and walked to opera house and halfway me and zj lost the other 3 and we were waiting for them at the end..while they were waiting for us somewhere in between ...and waiting indefinitely until weibin decided to give us a call. haha.

and the fish market was FANTASTIC the seafood was all awesome and FRESH. fresh is an understatement. i loved the sashimi and squid they were the best. and the lobster was hard to eat esp since we were sharing it with so many people. haha. when we were done eating the sun was already starting to set and we were like ok now we have to get to bondi beach before the sun sets!!

well we didn't exactly succeed. when we got to bondi..it was NEARLY dark. and my camera was nearly out of batt.. so we didn't really get to enjoy bondi beach much even tho it was like a really well known beach. at first, nobody wanted to go and dip their legs in the water and then i was the only one who wanted to so i just threw all my stuff down ran way way ahead toward the waves, leaving everyone far behind. after all that was what i brought my change of sandals for! the sand was really really cold, but the water was nice and warm :) haha. after that weibin came and joined me. and soon enough, everyone was there with their feet in the water :) and the thing about those waves were they were really big, and you could never predict which ones would come right up to you. those that seemed big..ended up really small and didn't reach up to me, but those that i didn't think much of, ended up coming really high and deep. so one of those times, the water came up too quickly and wet my jeans which were already rolled up!! i tink zj got that one too. and weibin was laughing at us. i was like it'll get you soonn... but the next 2 to get wet were ling and irene!! haha. in the end i think everyone got their jeans wet except weibin =x and we were gonna have like a small dinner cos everyone was still full from fish market..and we were walking (and most beachwear shops were already closed boo) and we saw St churros!!! we were like okay since the other time at melb we were too full to have it (after koko black with liling) we hafta try it now! so we did. i think it was okay only lah. churros wise, i prefered US theme park churros for some reason, and chocolate dip wise, i preferred the fondue wayne got us at max brenner's :)

yepps that ended our very eventful day!

  • lol i got inspired to come to your blog again after receiving your 2nd sms and was pleasantly surprised to see replies since you typically reply at night. yarr you can tell how free i am at work these days :S:S:S

    no no no i meant her 21st birthday present was the camera that got dropped! i bought her the US$180 camera cos her camera got dropped when she was passing it to me =/ so it wasn't a birthday present..it was the only solution i could come up with under that situation
