SYDNEY PHOTO DIARY I


Taking a stroll in the evening while we were on our way to the nearby restaurant for dinner.

spot the mini cresent. Lovely evening.



Australians sure can cook fish very well. It was delectable.

and so, we played some pool/snooker/billard(god, idk the difference) after dinner. just look at me. I actually climbed onto the table. cmi. and look at my dad in the mirror, hahahahaha!


my self made breakfast- muesli+canned peaches topped with yogurt

#eatclean #eathealthy

walao korkor why you appear in the background and spoil my pic.

over at scenic world. and so, my terror starts(because my fear for height is a lil too over the top)

first up, the scenic railway



And so, i survived the world's steepest railway. It is actually a lot steeper up the tracks. so much so that I was almost standing vertically when it was riding down. needless to say, i very much wanted to die at that point of time.

Glass panel floorings in the cable car




We hiked. and my legs literally turned into jellies after a few hours of it. I had severe muscle-ache for the next couple of days afterwhich. I was limping everywhere i go. on the streets, in the mall, by the beach, on the subway. EVERYWHERE. It was terrible.

The three sisters




We bought an insane amount of Kitkat chunky. So ridiculous that the cashier actually asked me if we have chocolate back here in Singapore. LOL. But i mean, i have never seen this three-textured kitkat version in Singapore yet. So, it's alright to go a lil crazy right? no? hahaha.

MELBOURNE PHOTO DIARY III


My very first time on a steam train. Wonderful experience, i must say

We were told that the traditional way when riding the puffing billy is to dangle/hang your legs out of the carriage windows as seen. Interesting.




I don't know why but this reminds me very much of the hogwarts express for some reason. hmm.
We came across some students along the way and everyone started exchanging greetings a lil too excitedly(through some severe screaming and shoutings). It was quite a wonderful sight though. hahahaaha.



these white parrots(cockatoo) were pretty aggressive. and heavy. when the fourth one landed on me, apparently I couldn't withstand the weight so I ran off. LOL.


here's a failed self shot of me with a cockatoo. and wow, the rain really messed up my hair

Award winning pies. I thought they were just alright. okay, maybe they were a little above average for me. However, my mum and brother think otherwise. They were full of praises for these pies- the pies were said to be divine.

We tried quite a few pies- tandoori chicken, beef burgundy, plain aussie, spinach and fetta. and we had some apple strudels for dessert afterwhich. hahaha we are such a glutty family.


We found a very pretty shop that sells vintage-y furniture being tucked away quietly at one of the back alleys. However, brandon said it really looks like medusa's statue garden LOL.



Everything is so lovely here

And we came across an old school candy store. Of course, i HAVE to go in and take a look.

The famous devonshire tea and scones 



Kangaroo! So cute! The last time I fed a kangaroo was more than 10 years back when I was in Perth. Nostalgic much.


and a random iphone picture taken by my brother. I really like this pic.


Look what came out from this amazing chocolate machine. We made our very own strawberry and vegemite flavoured chocolate out of it. weird flavour, i know.
