Updates

I am already into the 5th day in Syd.
Yesterday I took my adventure trip down to the city again. This time the plan was to go to Darling Harbour and Sydney Opera House.

As usual, I left the Apt and took the train to the city. By now, I am already a pro at readin the notices at the train station(eh hem). One thing good is that it scrolls and shows all the station that each train is going to be stopping and also the platform number to board the train. Its very efficient and accurate. I love it.

I usualy stop at Town Hall station as its central and I can then decide to walk to which ever destination and come back here to board the train back as I always bought Return tickets. I find it funny to use the word "return" as when I was in the States, we always use the word "round trip". Sounds better tho' roundtrip and made more sense.

Anyways, I reached Town Hall station (mind you it has lots of exits, you might get loss, if you do just set your bearings right and start walking :P) I went to have breakfast-cum-lunch at Mc D. WOO WEEE.. i just loved the chicken sandwich so.... yummy and the bread is so soft!!!!!!

I then went to the information stall at George st. and asked for directions to Darling Harbour. The lady - an elder lady wasn't too friend. Anyways, i took the sydney map and walked down Bathrust Str as per her direction. All the way straight and I reached the sign that says DARLING HARBOUR... cool!!!!!

Walked around darling harbour. Walked across the bridge there(can't remeber the name, will look in the map again).. and then after finishing off with darling harbour around 2pm. I walked to the other end which is where Syd opera house was.

The weather was blinking hot!!!!!! and the walk to Syd Opera house was one long long long one. These were all done by looking at the map and observing the road names.

By the time I got back to the apt and a total of 5 hours walk. My face is now sun burnt and arms shows evidence of my short sleeves. Go figure, don't even get a tan in malaysia when walking in the city but get a tan here in AU. Ai yayaya

Today I didn't do much except going to Westfield mall near my friend's apt.
Bought PODS!!!!! 6 boxes until the lady at the check out counter said, u sure must like PODS :P
I din'd bother to answer besides just smiling of course. Its sometimes good to act blur or stupid hahahaha.

tomorrow, I am going to Paddy's market.

I do have some photos taken but I shall... put it up another day. Its almost 11pm here and I am dead tired....

p/s I do miss home! Its right when they say,your heart grows fonder with distance. I cant' call my mom everyday now can I!?!?!?!?

Shall update more tomorrow and also next week, I fly off to brisbane to see my uni friend who now resides in Brisbane with her husband.

ciao for now.
