Australia trip

ok lets start this off..well...yah...everything here is summerised to the max bcoz i have very poor memory..so here goes hahaha..


at air port with mum and sis..


my mum and dad with me at the side..


DAy 1..
well bad start actually bcoz of an error by yours truly made the whole family wait at the airport for over 2 hrs..haha...growing blind as we speak...preety long plane ride..first flight was a qantas 747 if i nt mistaken..direct to sydney airport..got there in the evening and got my throat dry despite all the water i was drinking.lol..well nothing interesting here until abt 12 am sydney time that something happened...hahait was pure randomness by a over jealous local probably to the asian community..lol..see below for details..haaha..

at airport moments before taking off

apparently one of the few randomness photos i took..



DAy 2
well woke up like 11 am their time coz if it was local time it was preeety much the normal 8 am and so on..went for a search for food..coz didnt eat much since the flight dinner...found a thai like shop and had our brunch..then we were off to help find a place to stay for my sisitar...walked like for 3-4 hours or so before getting back to the hotel..found a former singaporean who migrated there...he was the property agent who agreed to help a fellow singaporean and promised that if we kept in touch with him then we would be able to confirm a place to stay for sis...pretty much a man of his own words..then back to hotel after a long day of walking and the day ended there...npot much to say there ..

took a quick snapshot of the kangaroo dishes there..sonds nice but to afraid to eat them..haha


DAy3
Well day started off earlier as we were up by 10..lol..preety damn lag...anyways took the bus to town and searched the whole area for a place to eat until we reached their chinatown..things there damn freaking cheap...got a few shirts and we were off to the harbour..it was preety much aa long walk..started to walk from thee chinatown like at 1pm or so till 5pm...sightseeing along the way...finally reached the harbour and it was damn bloody packed because it was the eve of australia day and chinese new year..so got our dinner and took the bus back to our hotel..

at one of the few places that i ate..pure randomness..

DaY 4
went to Bondi beach and again woke up early..10 to be exact..lol...woken up by the housekeeper..
lols..firt off was a trip to university of new south wales and took a personal anyway went to the bondi neighbour hood and shopped again...it was like freezing cold..ok a little exageration there...not too cold but nevertheless cold...but the beach was still packed and there was like an army of people crowding the shores despite the winds...took the beach paths and walked all the way to bronte which is like walking from pasir ris to sengkang..hmm after a long walk took the bus back again..


fooling around at the rocks..


nice scenery shot by my sis..

started off ealy nad this time im serious..woke up like 7 sydney time...and packed our bags for the flight off..took a walk around the randwick, the place we stayed, after breakfast...walked around till our legs disloged from our hips before taking the hotel transport to the airport and stayed there for the rest of our time there..well i nearly got lost there after daydreaming and wandering away from my faamily..well not the first time it happened..hahas..
anyways thats preety much the trip...



Well thats all for the trip..actually theres more pic tures but i dont intend to post them up...haha..anyways got to see to sides of australia..one was the kindness of its people and the other was how 'nice' the were..lets start with the first one..while on a bus during the second day, my mum got her card stuck in the machine..the bust driver wascalm and patient and wa gracious in helping out, eventhough she knows we were tourist...

on the other hand, their people can really be a bitch at times..on the first day, i was like stocking up on meds coz i didnt bring any and since it was late at night, i didnt have a choice but go a street down and get them from the seven eleven there..while i came out, a guy randomnly walked to me and said," get the f>#$ out of my country"..haha..i know..i was stunned for a moment as he walked away..didnt think much and walked away..

not th best experience but it was worth it and i should be thankful that was there coz there are many people who cant even afford a ticket to go overseas...other than the fact that finding a place which caters to muslims was hard in a large christian/protestent crowd just makes things harder for us..anyways hope my sister would be able to cope with all this that she is going through and good luck to her for here future studies...what a good brother i am..hahahaha....
