Just to jot down a little of our journey to Sydney...
Day 1: 23 September 2007, Sun, Sunny, 8.45am
Nic and Tania went to collect the rented car for the trip while I prepared the sandwiches.... we departed Tania's place at 8.45am and headed towards Sydney.... The car we rented was a Toyota Camry, nice and spacious.. just nice for the 3 of us (one driver, one passenger in front accompanying the driver and one passenger behind - resting)
It took us 10 hours before we reached our destination... after checking into our hotel (apartment) and washing up, we headed for our first stop - Pancakes on the Rocks.. pancakes that I have been yearning for 3 years... yummy!!
Being greedy.. I ordered a long stack (4 pancakes) thinking that I can finish, but I have got to surrender to my stomach by the 3rd pancake... shouldn't have done so.. especially since its already 10+pm.. *guilty*
After pancakes, we returned to our hotel and rested.. we were all tired after the long car ride...
Day 2: 24 Sept 2007, Monday, Sunny
We woke up at around 10am and got ready for our seafood feast at Sydney Fish Market... Upon reaching the place, we were just like headless flies heading towards the food... haha.. Tania and Nic were so excited at the sight of all the seafood.. as for me, I wasn't a seafood fan anyway, so wasn't really that excited... but I do enjoy the salmon sashimi... so cheap and fresh...
We ordered alot of seafood.. 1 lobster ($20), 3 blue swimmer crab ($19.95/kg), 2 spanner crabs ($?), 350g of sashimi ($16), 1 kg of big prawns ($20+), fried calamari ($5.50) and we also bought additional kg of tiger prawns but only ate a few and we packed the rest back...
After the seafood feast, we headed to Star City (casino) and played alittle... I lost $50 though.. but Tania managed to win back her loss after making the goal to win..
At night, we met up with Hazel (a friend from OLPS) for dinner at Lowen Brau... and I drank the mango beer again.. nice~
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel and watch dvds... we watched Sister Act part 1 and 2... however, nic fell asleep halfway through the show (as usual)... :)
Day 3: 25 September 2007, Tuesday, Sunny
Tania and Nic still yearns for more seafood, so back we went again to Sydney Fish Market.. this time round, we ordered some new items.. we had 3 Blue swimmer crabs, 3 small baby abalone ($5 each), a plate of fried anchovies ($6.50), 1 plate of mixed fried salted calamari and grilled calamari ($16), 1 kg of prawns and 200g of sashimi... before we left, we also ordered a kg of pipi stir-fried with chilli and garlic to be eaten at Bondi Beach (our next destination)...
Bondi beach is such a nice and beautiful place... the weather was very good and the beach was filled with people sun-tanning and surfing.... the scenery is splendid....
After Bondi, we met Hazel again for a drink at the revolving tower (Australia Tower)... and for dinner, we went back to Pancakes again to have the pork ribs and the pancakes for one last time.....
After dinner, we went back to the hotel and watched X-men 3 before going to sleep...
Day 4: 26 September 2007, Wednesday, Sunny
Day to head back to Melbourne.. we are looking forward to go back though we really enjoyed ourselves for the past few days.... the 3 days at Sydney really passed so fast...
Journey back took us another 10hours...
27 September 2007, 5.30am
Woke up early and head to the airport to pick Kor and Jie up.... its has been so long since we last saw them.. even Lucas is now a big boy... he's so adorable... just a little too active.. can't stay still for a minute when he is awake.. haha... loves to bite and grab things... but overall, an adorable and chubby baby! :)
