Back from adventure!

Nah, nothing like Indiana Jone's, just my version of adventure!

Packing, dragging luggages to bus and train stations, hailing a taxi, walking around with a map, imagining, making new friends (Manny (Philiphines) and Susu Angene (New Zealand) during my 11-hours train rides @.@)..


Trying out new food, strolling along the beach, getting in tune with nature (with animals at a distance), fresh air, imaginations..


Paddy's Market

Intro to the Almighty Pines!

Sydney skylines in the evening
Sydney harbor from Milson's Point at night




Sydney Opera House
Angle from the ferry
Interesting flowers in the Royal Botanical Garden


Aborigines at work? Lightening the atmosphere too!
Joined him the second day.
Manly Habour, whee~
Baked lobster, yums!

Simply my favorites, meet Gorgeous Coniferous!
Bidding them goodbye on ferry, they got further and further and... T.T





Ahh~~

Travelling is all about exploring, relaxing, sight-seeing, eating, city-hopping and of course, jakun-ing!



"Wah, this is how you pay tips huh!"

*blank stares from mum*



Visited Darling Harbor, Sydney Opera House, King Cross (red light district @.@), Circular Quay, Manly Beach..

And I've made my trip to the Anzac War Memorial and the Reflection Pool! Yes!
*ticks off wish list*


Anyway, what's most immeasurable was the time spent with mum, since the nature of her work has always been 24-7. Felt so long since we last talked all night, on a night ferry, overlooking the magnificent night view of Sydney harbor...


Career, life-long motivations, family, future, marriage (hmm, rare) and priceless insights.. Things I never knew..


And shockingly,


"Find a bf la~"
"Pang sai also boh eng" - my best defense

"Yao mou?"




Ahhh~~~~~~the wonders of traveling, how carefree!

Thanks mum for the memorable albeit short trip!

Just 2 pictures with mum (others contain only me - 'cause mum says age's catching up), in Sydney harbor.



*back to reality*


-unpack and do laundry
-no more eating out
-start cramming law T.T (Jia Yen, help!)


*yawns*

tomorrow laa~~ T.T

Your mum can be so shocking!!
The baked lobsters looked so inviting!!
"Pang sai also boh eng"...this part....if you were speaking hokkien, which I doubt you were, means no time to poo? Is that what it means in cantonese too?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

lol indeed it's Hokkien! one of the few verses that I can actually turn into my conversational language.

might sound a bit uncivilized but hahah, that's me yo!

it just means I don't even have time to poo, let alone find a bf.


(which isn't totally true, but an effective way to shake this topic off)


hahaha gal, you're funny!

and yea lobster was really fresh, I miss it now!
