Sydney Jump

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

holla! its Monday again… so lets get back to our Sydney posts ok.

On the 2nd day in Sydney, we decided to go around the city by ourselves (me n Paul) and the first thing we did was to look for food. lol

we walked around and landed in this mall called TGV… see Paul Frank n MNG on the left? im sure Jen is happy to see these brands…

oh lunch! we sorta like walked to this place that looked like a food court that sells fast food and.. erm.. slower fast food.

I deciided to try Oporto… looks quite ok…

“It’s just an ordinary chicken burger” Paul commented.

and guess how much was my set…

I just wasted 24 ringgit on a burger set! ahahahha another milestone in my life… must write diary first.

ok after eating, we walked around and we bought Krispy Kreme donuts!

jeng jeng jeng…

we tapau the donuts n coffee n walked out of the malls to Darling Harbour bridge.

and I jumped there

my first Sydney Jump! lol

and whats the nicest thing to happen at that moment?

The answer? .. Jumping on Sydney Darling Harbour bridge, eating Krispy Kreme Donut, drinking Krispy Kreme coffee, breathing Australian air…. all at the same time.

ok at about 1pm…. we walked back to the hotel.

Here’s a video of us walking back.

watch it watch it watch it!!!!!!!

Popcrap Saturday

Friday, March 28th, 2008

As we mark the end of my fotos for DAY 1 Sydney, let’s have some POPCRAPs! Today we have 3 of ‘em.

POPCRAP 1

Guess what people!

Again, I found an interesting site to share with you guys. Lol

Its called eoe online.

If you like photo gallery, buy-sell features, and chances to win prizes… then this is the website for you. The first feature that I find interesting is the “Camera Gallery”. In there, I can read about cameras, compare them and even buy from there!

I think this site damn good lor… cos I can even print my photos there.. lol… maciam kedai serbaguna la this company. The price for printing 5R photos is only 50sen… and if u add up your purchases up to rm30, delivery is free! Fuah!

The trading corner allows us to buy and sell goods. If you are someone who likes to sell used goods…. Second hand gadgets… clothes .. and everything else, then this is another place for you to advertise!

And lastly, which I think is the big attraction of the website, are the contest and shopping information there. Currently the contest is about capturing your travel moments. The first prize is printing of 500 5R photos worth RM750… not bad… just print them and throw people also can. ahahhaa

You guys like to win money, travel and shopping vouchers rite? Then faster go to EOE online now lo.

Come come… let’s go there now www.eoe.com.my

Kings Cross, Baby!

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

ok we were supposed to meet at the hotel lobby at 630pm for dinner… but Paul and I went down earlier to take some photos.

Thanks PaulTan for taking this shot for me

and then we went out and walked across the street for some slow shutter shots… n also so take foto of the hotel.

at about 640pm… the rest of the gang came down to lobby and we took a cab to King’s Cross Street to find food.

Another reason we went there was because we heard that the place got ‘many THINGS to see’ lol

anyways, we then decided to have Italian food at this very small restaurant… we sat at a table at the backyard kinda area.. which was quite cool.

the appetizers

the main dishes…. there were somemore food but i didnt take fotos of em.

and guess what… another RM1k spent for a meal. lol thanks Nokia.

after dinner, we took a stroll down King’s Cross and we saw a book shop.

A book shop that sells…. ‘unique’ books.

… and many more… ahhaha

we continued walking and soon we were at the ‘red light district’… sort off.

strip clubs and adult shops were all over!!!!!

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT? JENG JENG JENG.. LOLOLOL

Lunch at Darling Harbour

Monday, March 24th, 2008

ok after checking in to our hotel, we got our media packs and our room keys.

and this is my room.

For a better view of my room and everywhere else, view this video I recorded using my N95.

Love the room. Seriously.

after settling down, we went out for lunch.

We didnt know where to find food.. even though our hotel was in the city…. the place was still very new to us.

We remember the hotel chauffer telling us that we can get nice food at Darling Harbour.

I totally got no clue how the harbour looks like.

Well, it looks like this.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN NICE CAN!!!!!!!!!!.. and again… SKY DAMN BLUE CAN!!!!!!!!!
ORANG JAKUN MALAYSIA SUDAH DATANG!!!!! SEMUA ORANG SYDNEY CEPAT LARI LINTANG PUKANG!!!!

ya after taking this shot, we went around to see which restaurant serves nice food.

Ended up at this one called “I’m Angus”.

Reaching Sydney

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

LOOK! I made a new banner… for posts that has both photos taken by my phone and dSLR.

OK! now that we have enough passengers, lets board the plane n fly to Sydney!

lol… no la.. remember I went Sydney during CNY last month? Here are the photos… (1 month outdated lol)

Nice? .. Damn nice. lol the flight took about 8 hours… from 1030pm to 7am the next day.

We were welcomed by a Nokia representative and another guy from Sheraton Hotel. We then took the Sheraton van back to the hotel.

Took this as we were leaving the airport. Sky damn blue can!

We then asked the driver about Sydney Opera House and according to him, its just nearby our hotel… he then told us that we will be stopping there for a while for us to take some photos.
