Sydney
Sydney is good but it looks just like Singapore, filled with tourists. Blue-collar workers are mainly foreigners from Asia. I was lucky to meet friendly and helpful Ozzies. I made a few new friends from all over the world in Sydney. Argentina, Germany, American, England, Queensland, Armenia, China, Italy....etc
A toast to NO MORE SCHOOL and NO MORE WORK! A toast to a new beginning!!!
Alcohol is so damn cheap that the Government has to impose a law all over pavement to forbid Drunkards to ruin their city.
Left View outside my room window
Kings Cross Metro Station. Oh and the Happening Tunnel Club filled with dodgy people at night.
The 1 week Travel pass which includes BUS, METRO and FERRY - $41aud.

I like the double-deck metro. The only thing I hate is that they allow consumption of food and drink hence the metro is dirty and smelly at certain hours.
We should implement Diagonal Traffic Light to save time.
The first and last time to use the tripod stand on this trip. It doesn't help much anyway.
The famous St Mary Cathedral. The interior of the church feels totally like a real church. It motivates you to pray more....hmm
Our first new friend - Antonia from Argentina. He is a banker and freelance photographer.
I had to take the ferry to visit the Theme Lunar Park.
Darling Harbour with no darling. FML!
The first full rainbow I had ever seen. It lasted for more than 15minutes.
Haha poor kid was pouting because everyone was happily admiring the rainbow but he was too short to see. I feel for you kid..tsk tsk.
Kissing Point Bay. I wonder if this bay was the meeting point for couples who wanted to kiss each other. Needless to say, I couldn't get off this bay because I do not have anyone to kiss. FML once again!
On the way to Blue Mountain. Honestly, I had no idea where this place is. I blindly followed the tour guide and as a typical Asian, snapped pictures of everything I see.
Unfortunately, the 3 sisters decided to act mysterious and hid behind the puffy mist. I had managed to see the full view of the 3 sisters for 3 seconds.
Although I didn't get to snap the full view of the 3 sisters, I took a picture with these '3 sisters' - new friends. An American, an Aussie and an Englishwoman. I dig the American woman with the hat. She is an awesome cougar. I reckon she looks exotic (pure white with Asian black eyes) that is why young men flocked to her.
Our new friends - '3 sisters' decided to hook us up with the guy operating the cable car. I like it!
THE beach...everyone is talking about it. THE BONDI BEACH where you see the coolest surfer, the hottest babe and the nude sun-tanners. Partially right.. I did see cool surfers, hot babes and 2 semi-nude sun-tanners but I saw many senior citizens don in their bikini as well. Hey, I didn't say it is a bad thing. I wish I could be like them when I hit 60.
Look at the surrounding...it was at 11am.
How cool is it to be swimming in a swimming pool beside the sea. The water in the pool is from the sea so it is not very clean. Forget about the goggles, cos I don't think you want to look into the water.
I pity the Despicable Me mascots. They were made to wear that mascot in such weather of 43 degrees. Weather aside, I was gleaming with joy when I stood beside them cos I am TALLER..woo hoo! Stop laughing if you are.
Look at the surrounding again. The beach was packed with people. They worship the SUN GOD. It was about 3pm. That explains why most of the skin cancer victims were Caucasians.
This is by far the best Fish Market in OZ.
You will never want to eat seafood in SG again. Worth the 1200 calories. Everything on this plate is 5 times the size of the ones in SG. Oh yes...the flour coated is flat screen.
Another new friend from Armenia but is now an Aussie. We looked like we are their adopted kids...ha!
Because we are scared of height...because we do not have the guts...because we are afraid it might rain suddenly, we chose to walk on the bridge instead of climbing the bridge. Okay fine...the truth is that we don't have spare cash ($200aud) to climb that over-rated bridge. It is JUST a bridge...like our Benjamin Sheares Bridge. Nothing great!
...and it is brightly lighted like a Christmas tree unlike our old boring white B.S.Bridge.
Another over-rated icon - Opera House. It looks slightly better when night falls. Don't even bother to take day shots. It looks like an old building with triangle shelters..that's all.
I took more ferry rides than taking the bus. The only way to get around places was by ferry. Imagine taking a ferry from PGL to SK...ha
Had to take the ferry to get to this Manly Beach. Another town on its own.
The last day in Sydney and it gave me another lovely full rainbow. Took it from my room window.
Haha..I shall be shameless and declare my love @ 1st sight. He is probably 18 from Europe. Okay, he doesn't look good in singlet. He caught my eyes that very night..woohoo
Our Branch @ Bondi Junction Safari Cafe. I know this picture doesn't show Bondi Junction or Safari Cafe. That's not the point. The main point is I took a picture with this cute Italian waiter who looks like Robert Pattinson. He looks way better in person. What the hell! I told him that he looks like Robert Pattinson and he told me I look like his friend from Malaysia! FML!!!
Domestic Airport is so updated. Self-check in machine to print your own boarding pass.
Check-in your bag machine. Everything is done by machines, human is not needed in this airport.
Boarding Gate.
The Krispy Kreme outlet at Sydney Airport is pathetic small. They don't sell anything else other than donuts. No beverages or collectibles.
Look at the amount of fluid intake I had to take to keep hydrated. Okay..the wine definitely didn't help.
Self-entertainment during the 5hours domestic flight with no personal TV screen.
Western Australia looks like Sahara Desert from up above.
