Sydney Sydney Sydney

22nd Nov















Didn't having any sleep from the night b4, me, ah seng, lim n choo ling took a car ride of 5mins from my hse to clayton station, then a 40 mins train to Southern Cross, then a 1 and a half hour sunbus ride to Avalon Airport b4 boarding a 1 hour and 15 mins plane ride to Sydney. How great can that be.. Lol...

When we reach there, we took a cab looking for the hotel we booked at Elizabeth St. I don't remember what was the name of the hotel already, as we walked like 3 blocks from where the cab stopped. The hotel was one of the dodgiest hotel i have seen lor. The receptionist was an old mixture of middle east and australian. He was so cocky, i feel like killing him... We end up letting him have the money we paid for the hotel and went to another hotel.

After searching high n low for one as most are fully booked, we found Boulevard Hotel and William St which was 4 and a half star and it was really a wonderful stay.

The first stop was to look for something to eat. Choo Ling brought us to this Jap restaurant at Liverpool St. at the corner of Avillion Hotel. It opened at 5.30pm.. n we waited right outside to enter... The restaurant is called makoto.. As soon as we enter... The place is alredi full.. The queue starts as soon as the shop opens..















The sushi train in the restaurant

You can tell how fresh the salmons and sashimiz was.. It was just brilliant.















The teriyaki chicken hand roll

















You really should taste the fish roe and the freshness salmon of this masterpiece...

Hehe.... After which... We went for massage at Chicago Spa n Sauna... It was really a 'prostitute parlour' man... Neway, i went for juz a massage... The massage was good, and the story ends there...

23 Nov

Woke up at abt 8am, left the hotel at abt 10am... Went to have breakfast in Queen Vic building... Had a typical msian coffee shop.. had a bun.. Then we went to shopping around that area..

The next stop was at circular quay...





























Since there's not much to be done there, we went into the aquarium..















the bastard that killed stevie















i was that close...














The reptile tat attracted me the most is this... The platypus... The idiotic morone that swim across the aquarium like a billion times in a day while evry other fishes was juz enjoying themselves. This pic was really hard to get.. when he is travelling like 50mph...

The day ended cathing a movie and having a meal in china town b4 heading home...

24th Nov

Left early from our hotel to have breakfast at fish market..

Then head back to circular quay for our boat ride out the atlantic ocean for whale watching...
















Posing at the jetty b4 boarding the boat















The four that boarded the seemingly boring boat

The whole trip was a disaster.. Having the other 3 having sea sick.. N the suckiest part is NO WHALE IN SIGHT... the only thing we saw was a bunch of playing dolphins swimming alongside the boat...






























The night after, we spend our time at the darling harbour... Had one of the tiniest portion of steak i ever had in Aust...

My Opera House













































25 Nov

The last day was Bondi day...



















































The Clayton Story 1 (The accomodation n campus)

I need to really sum up the happenings of this year... The only year tat i spent almost the whole year abroad... So i think i shud crap sumthing abt my happenings of the year..

I have been transfered from the msia campus to the clayton campus...
Clayton is abt 20 mins drive from melbourne n 40 mins on the train using the Pakenham line..














This is where i stayed for the year.. 2/34 Panorama Street














Having a closer look














The kitchen where i actually learn cooking














My living room, contributed mostly by suet li's furniture.. lol














Me and my hsemates minus one....














Panorama Street














This is the main entrance to the engineering faculty

Nothing much of a sight actually for the engineering faculty. The place was way much bigger than the msia campus itself. Technological wise way more advance than msia. Study wise, Mechatronic Clayton suckss..














This broker bridge explains how good Melbourne Uni Civil Engineers are..













This is Hargrave Andrew Library where all the engineering students hangout.. Hehe.. I alwiz come here too... Cuz easier to find leng lui while studying.. Not to mention, this is the place i would say i spend most time with the special sum1 tat i met this year...














This is how the 3rd floor looks like.. Hehe.. I think it's the coolest library i had ever been into.. Oh, did i mention that we can talk as loud as we want in most part of the library.. Not to mention that we can actually eat and drink in the library... The library operates from 8.30am to 9pm....














My hsemate apparently studying something abt pregnancy....














The best part abt my uni is that there r a lot of parks where those ang moz n ang mo wannabes hangout.. They juz sit on the grass for lunch or studying.. Sum how they juz enjoy doin things under hot burning sunlight so much... This is wut we call it engineering lawn.. Suppose to have a 'Einstein tree' in which where gravity was discovered...














This is another park next to the campus center on the way to matheson library...














This is the Campus Center where i alwiz makan n hang out during lunch time...














This is the meeting point in campus center.. spaghetti, indian cuisine, pizza, coffee, sushi... all can b found here....














The nicest part abt my uni is the happenings around... from time to time, there will b events held at the lemon scented lawn next to campus center.. where all the markets are as well as games n multicultural events.... I wud say, this is cool lor... especially got free bbq for poor ppl like me....
