Manly Beach, not Bondi though :( We had to take a ferry there from Circular Quay, and it was a really nice experience :)<br /><br />When we got there, we cycled around for a bit, and most of the pictures can be found on my Facebook, so yeah. Call me lazy, I don't care :p<br /><center><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1639.jpg" width="700"><br>On the ferry<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1653.jpg" width="700"><br>View from the ferry<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1659.jpg" width="700"><br>The city horizon.

We were supposed to leave the house at about 9 or so so that we could do more. The plan was to buy a Sydney Explorer Bus ticket and travel to some of the 27 stops of the bus. Sam and I got on at QVB, and we got down at the Powerhouse Museum first. I absolutely loved it! I wish I brought my dad with me though. He would have loved it too :D<br /><center><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1439.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1435.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1447.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1481.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1501.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1505.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1504.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1540.jpg" width="700"><br><br /></center><br />After and hour plus there, we got back on the bus and went to Luna Park, a theme park near the Sydney Bridge. We spent AUD45 each on tickets for all the rides. And I seriously had a lot of fun.

We were going to have pancakes at The Rocks. We (Sam, Isabel, Jed, Bec and I) all left the house early with empty stomachs to the city. The plan was, Jed would go to Campton Theater and register us for the cheap tickets to the play, WICKED and then meet up with us later at The Rocks. About 20 minutes later, he calls and say we have to be there since the draw for the tickets was at 11. The time then was 10.45. So we had 15 minutes to get off the bus, get on a new one, go back about 2 kilometers in traffic and run to the theater. And we made it exactly at 11 :) But we didn't get the tickets though. The regular tickets were like AUD50+ each so yeah.<br /><br />We took a shuttle down to Circular Quay (pronounced as Key), an then went for the most awesome pancakes I ever had. Had to line up for it okay, no joke.<br /><center><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1421.jpg" width="700"><BR>Jyeahh!<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1424.jpg" width="700"><br>The Bananarama.

Was an experience I guess :)<br />Ended the night with a game of boring Monopoly while having fried churros dipped in chocolate sauce :DDenise Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587991280366141111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287227039747926354.post-70670208803506763842010-01-03T05:28:00.001-08:002010-01-03T07:52:31.808-08:00Day 12 : Mountains Animal HospitalOn 2nd January 2010, I followed my cousin to the animal hospital where she works. It's at the Blue Mountains, just not all the way to the top. It was a 40 minute drive from where we live, but I had fun looking at the Australian highways. <br /><br />I pretty much babysat, walked about 20 dogs, and cleaned out cat cages. Had a lot of scratches but that's okay. <br /><center><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1365.jpg" width="700"><br>Pipa, the 11 year old dog with a dislocated hip.<br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1360.jpg" width="700"><br><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1363.jpg" width="700"><br>The kittens which I secretly named Vodka and Smell.

Earlier in the day, Sam and I just spent the time lazing at home while waiting for my cousin to come home from work. When she did, we took a bus down to town just for some Korean dinner. We didn't stay for the fireworks because it was definitely going to be soo crazy. I read later that there were 1.5 million people in the city that night. I wouldn't want to be drowned in that sea of people, no siree. They closed the major road, so we had to walk for a bit. But it's all I do here anyway. Walk, walk, walk.<br /><center><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1303.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1309.jpg" width="700" /></center><br /><br /><br />So instead of watching the fireworks there, we went back home, changed into comfortable clothes then walked to the park near Glebe. It was full there too! Everyone was sitting on the grass waiting to the new year. We had a view of the two bridges in Sydney, so it was a really really good view.<br /><center><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1344.jpg" width="700" /><br />The fireworks, ignore the photography :(<br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1315.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1321.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1346.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1348.jpg" width="700" /><br />My cousin, her boyfriend and her dog.<br /></center><br /><br />I apologise that all the photography is just utterly horrible :(Denise Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587991280366141111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287227039747926354.post-33516055737011837652009-12-30T01:24:00.000-08:002010-01-03T05:23:05.624-08:00Day 8 & 9I didn't take any pictures during these two days.<br />On Day 9, we took a bus back to Glebe coz dad was leaving to Gold Coast already. Sam, Kim, Beck, Bryce and I took a bus to Darling Harbour again. We watched another street performer who insulted almost the whole world. He called us bloody Malaysians but he could count to five in Malay. Only Sam and I laughed in the whole crowd.<br />Rented My Sister's Keeper and The Ugly Truth while having pasta for dinner.<br /><br />On Day 10, I got up really early, but fell asleep again once my cousin went to work.<br />Sam and I went to Broadway Mall again, spent a little money there and came home. I've pretty much been spending the rest of the day updating this blog :)<br /><br />Cheers!Denise Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587991280366141111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287227039747926354.post-37322637518498422372009-12-28T01:17:00.000-08:002010-01-03T05:22:51.492-08:00Day 7 : A taste of homeGot up late again, and we went to QVB for more window shopping. The sales are still on, but everything is still so expensive. I spent about 2 hours on Dymocks, something like Borders but I didn't buy anything. Books in KL are so much cheaper. Heck, everything is much cheaper.<br /><br />I didn't bring my camera, but for dinner, we went to this famous place in Chinatown called Mamak. Yup, you got that right. Mamak. Pictures will tell you all :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1213.jpg" width="700" /><br />THEY WERE LINING UP FOR IT!<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1249.jpg" width="700" /><br />China boy<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1243.jpg" width="700" /><br />The prices killed me.<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1245.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1246.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1244.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_1238.jpg" width="700" /><br />The extremely lousy teh tarik.<br /><br />The Aussies LOVE the roti but roti bom with ice cream is weird. haha :DDenise Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587991280366141111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287227039747926354.post-21910090639943431952009-12-27T00:15:00.000-08:002010-01-03T05:22:38.162-08:00Day 6 : The Opera HouseWe woke up pretty late on the 27th.

Hmm, I think I expected too much out of it, after hearing how big a deal it was to the Aussies. Yeah, the sales were big and the price cuts were pretty scary but yet, they were still too much for us to afford. So we just spent most of the time looking around, hardly buying anything at all! The department stores such as Myers and David Jones were really busy.<br /><center><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0829.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0870.jpg" width="700" /><br />The seriously crazy line in QVB.<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0878.jpg" width="700" /><br />Darling Harbour, again.<br /><br />Later we went to the Wildlife Park, part of our deal with the Sydney Aquarium thingy-ma-jig.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0886.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0891.jpg" width="700" /><br />Last living dinosaur, as they say.<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0908.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0916.jpg" width="700" /><br />YES ITS A FREAKING KOALA! *SCREAMS*<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0912.jpg" width="700" /><br />I was going to take it home, seriously.<br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0918.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0931.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0947.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0952.jpg" width="700" /><br>They were boxing and kicking, hehe.<br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0961.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0965.jpg" width="700" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t279/denisechang/Australia%20trip/IMG_0985.jpg" width="700" /><br>I eat this everyday :O</center><br /><br /><br /><br />At night, we went to King's Cross Street, the red light district, just for the fun of it.

It's pretty much like Jusco, but better. There's K Mart, Target and loads of supermarkets. There's Cotton On, Cotton On Body and Cotton On Kids but truthfully, it's cheaper in Malaysia. We wanted to spend a maximum of AUD50.00 but uhh.. haha.
