Taking a break from doing reports.
Spike is getting lazier. He's not greeting me whenever I come home. He's just lying down, looking.

AUSTRALIA, SYDNEY 2009 - Part III
♥ 3:12 PM
School's starting tmr
EW.
Day 4This day was the best day!!!!!
Blue mountains!~
Beautiful day as usual. The weather on that day was good. Not as cold, and not hot at all.
First, we went to Leura Town, located in the Blue mountains.
What can I say? It's the perfect town that I want to retire in.
It's soooo peaceful, with nice people and shops. Not to mention the scenery!
Luckily for us, the town is running a fair! So lots of little shops run by the local people of Leura!
Mumzy bought these homemade mouth-watering cookies from the fair.
So.Good! I wish mumzy can bake like they do
No much photos here because I was too busy buying things. ahahha
So, we went to this country shop where they were having a sale!
Lots of good buy, I say. However, I totally regretted not buying the cup :(
Now I want it sooooooo bad.
The market~ Bought some stuff here as well :)
AND, a local actually spoke malay to me! Impressive!
Sadly, the time limit for us in this town is so darn short.
!@#$%^&*()
Haven't even completed looking ard.
Curses.
I love this town. See that cute plant-whale over there? hahahahah!
Next, we went to the Australian 'Grand Canyon'!!!!
The view is.........*jaws drop*
Let the pic, do the talking yo~
The famous '3 sisters'!!!! Well, the 3 rocks are called '3 sisters'
There's some story behind its name!
And! we head to ______(i forgot the name!!!!! shoot!)
Bought some tickets and sat the railway!
It was said to be the world steepest railway, and yes, they are.
I was too busy shooting a video, and at one point, the railway suddenly went steep,
I thought I was gonna fall off.
Got off the railway, and went sightseeing in the forest! We walked all the way to the cableway!
TADA!~
Sat the cableway, and had another fantastic scene of the Australian Grand Canyon!
After that, we ate lunch, and some snacks.
Next destination was the Featherdale Wild Live Park!!!!
AHHHHH~ and we got to see some super cute animals!
Greeted by a Joey!!!!! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNogiqoPHMQVrkL0fI3SjQSGUSzTm5Gpa2rGuiQWTelbDlM5VyY0LrzbnBrvBVgKzyKpx19IgUqASnyolYZmEwZUXaJ7Tex3aE93hQrtgjgZjlD3B4Ml1kllllmasASlRrS1ZjGg/s1600-h/queen+roo.png">
LOL. Look at the way it lying down!
QUEEN ROO!
Kangaroos are so funny. A sleeping one~
It looks like its praying!
I called it the mediating Koala. It looks like they're doing yoga!
Funny face of a red kangeroo chomping on some cones~
Baby penguins!!!! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimPl1y8IxfXK1NoLxncdp5pV_BUHnpNyjHg4gNUqY_dMD_Xp4pA81LFexlMn3EPbUspjjkgxeHUsELgWAN0C01idS4ZbXCnnfchI-G7aaVYhQ87dRnTvru24q1vzDxmRtFjsLdYA/s1600-h/crco..png">
A sleeping crocodile. Eeeek.
Dingo! A wild dog.
Was lucky enough to see a peacock spread its feathers!!!!
The other tourist was like, trying to get it to open up. ahahhah!
There are more photos, but lazy :( the thought of school spoils everything!
Then, we head back to town and went to see the Sydney Olympic park!
Those are some big solar panels!
Dad's company. LOL
Went out in search of food. Rawr, hungry.
I've been eyeing on Burgerlicious for the whole time, and finally got a chance to try it.
Burgerlicious, oh so delicious! -_-
Day 5We went to 2 parks! Wanted to explore deeper in the city before heading back home :(
First was Hyde park!
And then, it was Balmore Park!
Lovely Church!!!! The bell was ringing non-stop for ard 10mins.
In Australia, Chemist = Pharmacist!
Before going back to the hotel, we went shopping at a local supermarket.
Bought more food, and chocolates! I realize that they alr started selling christmas goodies!
There were candy canes and christmas chocolates.
After that, went into The Galeries Victoria's and into the book store we go.
A funny incident happened there.
I, apparently, had $50. So, bro and I wanted to buy books
and when we were paying up, I handed bro my $50 note.
But it turned out that it was actually $5 -_-
Embarassing. Bro had to tell the cashier to cancel 1 book.
And the guy (another cashier) was laughing.
AHHH. I didn't get the book =\
-fast forward-
At the airport!!!!
I keep spraying perfume samples. HAHAHAH
and, we are lucky enough to seat Airbus!!!
The double story airplane! Kehehehhehe
I swear, the wings of the plane is freaking huge. So wide.
I actually wanted to seat the 2nd story, but didn't :(
It's where all the suites areeee!
OK, so we reluctantly went back to S'pore.
It's regrettable that the trip is soooo short (5 days only, blame mumzy)
I WILL BE BACK!

AUSTRALIA, SYDNEY 2009 - Part II
♥ 1:54 PM
Finally, finish bloggin'. Taking years to upload photos.
Day 3Had cookies for breakfast. Seriously, these are heaven-sent!
Australian tea taste 1000000x better than tea here.
I stole some teabags from the hotel ._.
Heyheyhey, we paid for the hotel room~
After that, walked to Rydges World Square and waited for our pick-up at 7.30am.
Wine-Tasting was that day's tour!
I had no idea why they chose this for us.
So, we drove all the way to Hunter's Valley to taste wine.
Yeaaaaa.
Before the whole wine-thing, we stopped by a small town for tea!
The scenery is just w.o.w
I felt as if my eyesight improved. Really!
Not touching the computer for days and looking at the grasses and trees like this~
Ah~ the country life!
With a scenery like this, who needs a computer?
*pauses* nahhhh, I think I still need a computer.
A little shop selling food and drinks.
I went on to explore this small, tranquil town.
Ahh~ this place is exquisite!!!
That church is gorgeous.
^ Haunting picture!
As I was taking picture of a pony, this birdie hovered pass my shoulders, twice! I thought it wanted to grab something from me, but I had nth on me. ahhaha!
FIERCE!
A Vineyard!
Tried a few samples of wine and I MUST SAY..............~
.....I DISLIKE THEM.
Yuck! They are so difficult to swallow! And the wine taste.
NAH-AH *shakes head*
One of them taste like vomit to me. (tastebud probs?)
The best wine was definitely the sweet one (with peaches & other fruits), but still, didn't like them.
We were given cheese and crackers to clear the taste of wine.
Now, THESE taste good!!!
While the rest are too busy with their wines, I'm more interested in these beautiful flowers that are planted outside!
Can we even see these back at home.?I think not (besides the florist).
Had lunch, food is not really my taste.
They had this weird cheese like thingy, but it doesn't taste like cheese.
And lots of veggies + some hard beef jerky thingy with cheese.
I have no clue on what I was eating!
More wine sessions.
^ Was quite funny here~ The adults were joking around.
Next, went to Hunter's valley garden and there are so cute shops there!
Like..... A candy shop and a Christmas store
I
that Christmas store..BUT, its really expensive.
I really like the Christmas plastic box :(
Didn't get it though.
Bought candies there
Lovely couple! We were on the same tour!
After the wholeee day in the countryside, it's back to our hotel.
Went out to look for food, and we had Grilled fish + mash potatoes for dinner!
