sydney!

I am back! Let me just say that my day-trip to Sydney was fun, FUN, FUN :D

I hopped on a bus to Sydney with no idea where to go and with no map in hand. I was four hours early for my meet-up with the boys and so I decided to wander aimlessly to see what I could amuse myself with:

There was a funny little small house sandwiched between these apartments on Chalmer's Street.

I had to stop at a petrol station to use the ladies at Cleveland Street that had this amazing blue lighting. Pretty flash for a public loo! ...I can't believe I took a photo in a loo, sheesh!

I crossed the road and came to Moore Park where I saw Elf (or at least that's what I heard her owner calling her) heading for me. I patted Elf and while I was busy talking to her owner, she made a playful rush towards me and I was down on the grass -- covered with licks and kisses (yes, the camera too). 

I turned into South Dowling Street and found the Sydney Antique Store. Antique shopping is now officially my new passion! Rummaging through these stores give me the same kind of high I get when I browse through a second-hand bookstore!

After spending what felt like two hours at the antique store, I continued exploring the streets and was getting thirsty when I saw this neon sign for a cold beer. Oh, God, you can be so funny at times.

I had somehow made my way to Hyde Park.

Kids were chasing them while grown-ups stood around in amusement. Thank you random bubble blowing guy for making my day! :D

There was also this nice man feeding his naan to the pigeons; 

the Nudie Archibald Fountain;

and the beautiful view of St. Mary's Cathedral :)

I met up with the boys at the park and we had lunch at Star Bar on George Street.


which, by the way, has the coolest interior decoration!

After dinner at the bar, Jeremy tried his hand (more like finger) at pokies and lost with Jimmy's cash.

Jimmy (reluctantly) taking a photo with the hula-hoop man on stilts at the entrance of Chinatown. The man wrapped poor Jimmy up in endless strings of flowers. Jimmy's got a good grip on those peaches too! Poor Jimmy.

Ting was especially happy about his egg puffs from the Emperor's Garden Cakes & Bakery store. No idea what's up with Jimmy (it might be that he was still very well upset with the hula-hoop man).

The only reason I didn't make it to see Darling Harbour was because we were fooling around way too much on our way there. 

I made a mental note to take the tram next time as we walked towards Sydney Central Station for my bus ride home.

Terribly sorry if this post took centurions to load! I wanted to share my whole day with you :) Hope you had as much fun as I did in Sydney!

home, xo
