back from sydney :D

just came back from Sydney! i had so much fun :( i didn't want to come back.. the weather was absolutely gorgeous there! the people were really really really friendly (i think it has something to do with their accents... it's so high pitched and cheerful!) and i love how everything is multicultural and overall fun~

i'm a little exhausted from telling everyone how my trip went, so to sum it off i'll list the major things i did:

1. taronga zoo - i love the zoo XD it's so fun! it reminds me of how i used to have to go to the toronto zoo back in elementary school and.. i remember how it kinda sucked haha.. in comparison, the zoo in sydney is a LOT more fun and has a lot more variety in animals.. especially including my cylyna's favorite, the koala! (more pics in my photo album~) we went there early after a breakfast at our hotel and then took the ferry across to the zoo~ it was such a beautiful day XD we took this 'sky safari' car up to the zoo and had a great time wandering around.. how come zoos in toronto sucks D:.. we paid to take a close up pic with that adorable koala (which apparently we can't touch or it'll become very very scary and attack us or something.. so dont' ask me why it's sleeping!)~

my favorite animal at the zoo aside from this adorable koala are the wombats! they're... bear/pig/thingie that just looks so cute :D i'm not sure how to describe it other than that XD it kind of resembles a beaver close up but.. it's somehow cuter (though i've yet to see a live beaver in toronto.. haha)

(a shot from behind.. too many kids were petting it i couldnt' get close up ; ;)

2. the rocks market - i love this area! after the zoo we had gone to the rocks and walked along the harbour side looking for a restaurant~ after lunch, we went to take pics of the bridge, opera house etc, and went to the market area, where there were a TON of things to look at.. it was crowded but very very nice~ we bought a lot of presents for friends and also a few souvenirs for ourselves. as i really love wooden things, i was glad there were many cute items made out of australian wood for me to buy :D

3. fish market - loveee the fresh seafood here.. we took an early cab to eat lunch here and enjoyed all that lovely salmon, kingfish and swordfish sashimi.. :D~~ we also ate a lot of lobster , shrimp etc too.. thinking back makes my mouth water again.. ~_~! the best part was how they cook the seafood or cut it fresh for you on the spot :D~~ compared to the sashimi in toronto and HK, australia definitely has fresher tasting fish~

4. aquarium - i love it.. (err how many times have i said i love something...)i love the underwater tunnels that let you 'live' the experience of being underwater.. so beautiful ; ; i pet a shark (it has this weird texture but i think the cutest part was how it was sleeping and didnt budge XD ) and also a few starfish~ i loveeee how the beautiful tiny jelly fish were swimming around the tank, and how delicate each part of them were :O

i just love sydney a lot.. everything is soooo laid back.. i met this guy in the LV store near the area i lived in, and we just kept on talking and talking like old friends! i wish i got his email so that we could keep in contact but unfortunately we were in a hurry and i didn't manage to do that :( (i think yuu would be someone like that in real life.. Yuu where are you!!) everyone is just so nice and helpful that i'm surprised i liked it better than toronto~ maybe i just got used to the people in HK and how rude they are so had forgotten that not all people were like that..
after coming back to HK, i realize how people rush around and stuff ... sigh -.-;

however, back to work.. sigh... hope everyone likes the souvenirs i got :O for more pics you acn check out my photo book again ^-^

i've yet to open that kangaroo jerky i got to share with my family.. i wonder how it'll taste... /sweat/

current mood: i don't wanna go back to work D:
