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...

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...
