There I was 3 weeks ago in my office and my apartment contemplating on whether to travel to Sydney. I told myself I should and I will after those long promises since last year to my very good old buddy Davin ( I sound like a countryman). Having myself not realizing his absence in this website, I was determined to meet my fellow friend, on the 19-21july. Prior to this trip, i had all those dramas of getting the tickets and the right hour to push off ( still wished that my flight tickets were cheaper frm Melb-Sydney). U know, I was told by not few people that Sydney had nothing much to do, I realised that not only beauty lies in the eye of beholder but also experiencing different city lies in the eye, mind and soul of a beholder. very deep….. Sydney was most enjoyable !

To end all these new realization and discoveries I have found in me, finally, I calmed myself down and to come to an understanding that it was not the city that fascinated me the most but it was truly about the company I had during those 3 days 2 nights with my friend. We were sooo chatty !! WE talked and laughed oh-so-very-loud the first thing we do in the morning ! without even brushing our teeth. I guess youth has done us well given that we were like a source of energy in the early morning bus we took from the airport when I arrived. I mean the moment we laid our eyes on each other in the airport. WE were on the verge of shouting with laughter (that is the only way I can think of to express the moment). Could you even imagine how loud it would be if Davin and Patricia in the same room?…..My goodness dont even get there to think of what will happen if Pat, Davin, CM, MJ and Alvin in the same room… . . . ahhh…those were good old days.

Alrighty,moving on, once reached in Syd I was supposed to head back home to rest.Well..that didnt quite worked out as Dav and I were very much energized when we talked about ACS so we then head to the town centre! And from a very far distance I took this shot of the famous Opera House.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At that point we were starving so we didnt stop at anywhere but went straight to Pancakes at The Rocks with these great food

(The Chicken Caesar Salad) Simply Amazing~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then when we were down to the MAIN !!!

We ate literally like pigs !

Notice that I did not mention anything about the pancakes in our dishes…and also no pics to prove that we did order it for our dessert…. hmmph, that’s cause by the time, we finished these two dishes we were so full that we forgot to take a pic of the dessert and it taste ok even though it was suppose to be good. During the meal, both of us kept on thanking God for what He has provided and how faithful He has been to all of us. We both were so touched and amazed by Him cuz we would have never imagined that both of us can meet up in SYDNEY !! that’s like half way across the world….He must have known that we would love those food at Sydney

After that we took some photos of the area around the Rocks.

That’s just around the corner of where we had our food. And there was a handikraft market going on with loud and friendly ppl !

oh, one thg I must point out I m with the Westpac Bank in Australia….and to my surprise and surprise (it’s double) they have a WESTPAC MUSEUM !! gosh..and it is located right next to where I took the pic above. Here goes,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am still ignorant of what is this wall about…. 

 

But we did take a pic together here regardless!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok, fast forward to somethg more exciting about syd ! the cupcakes !! They are not only tiny, they are also delicious and pretty…but the most important thg they taste so good that you want people to take you home ! HAHAHAHAHA !!

From outside the shop…on Pitts Street.

-tbc-

last week, my highway and transportation engineerin lab did traffic volume studies at the main entrance of uniten. it is basically a study to determine the number of vehicles goin in and out uniten‘s main entrance in an hour time. this was borin, as all we did was to press on a mechanical hand tally counter whenever a vehicle, let’s say a motorcycle, passes by.

this week, it’s somethin different. actually, there isn’t much of a difference as it is still equally borin i would say. come on, how interestin can it be to stand by the side of a road with vehicles zoomin past you, and the sun is givin you a hard time to control your sweat?

i started off by measurin the distance of 50m between two points, with an equipment called measuring wheel.

man, i looked funny =.=”

technically, we have to take down the duration a target vehicle takes to reach from 1 point to another, then divide the constant distance with that period of time. we all learnt that in physics, remember? speed is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change in position, often expressed as distance d traveled per unit of time t.

how nice if all my lab “experiments” are like this. we can easily get it done in just 15 minutes, and spend the remainin time talkin over a cup of teh tarik.

I went to midvalley today, with chin yeong, wen yi, poh yee n brendan. We wanted a movie marathon.^^

First up, journey to the centre of the earth.


Verdict: I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE 3D EFFECTS!!

I mean, heck, i really didn't feel anything exciting bout the movie. You know how the usual 3D n 4D makes you feel as if things are heading ur way? I only felt it ONCE throughout the almost 2 hour movie.

N to add up the 'excitement', there were only ONE DINOSAUR in the movie, which appeared for like...hmmm.....5 minutes at the end of the movie? N the best part was the dinosaur wasn't chasing in our direction, it was running towards the side.-_-"

Plus, the 3D glasses GSC provides is uncomfortable. It felt heavy n i was holding it throughout the show.

In conclusion, i really regret paying rm17 to watch the movie. Really think we should have watched the non-3D version for rm7. Arghh....!!!!!

Anyway, the next movie was Hellboy II..=D

Firstly, i felt a lot better cuz we only paid rm7 for the movie, which is very consoling considering the rm17 we paid for the very disappointing movie. Wen yi, chin yeong n brendan didn't join us cuz they went to watch Get Smart.

Instead, poh yee n i watched with cheh sia, choon hau, ken (not my ken..hehe) n andrew.^^
It was not bad. Just like the first Hellboy. I didn't have high expectation so all in all i fell it was pretty entertaining. Worth watching.=)

So, there goes my movie review for chian ming. I mean if u haven watch la..hehe..
