Bestfriends in Sydney, 21st - 30th September 2006


Day 1: Chinatown and Darling Harbour

We found a street named VALENTINE, and we had too much dimsum... 15 or 20 dishes between the two of us i think... and..... gramma's house...

yokers: eh. must take pix with my gramma's house leh... it's the prettiest on the whole street!!! right?? right???

xinds: yalayala. take la......

yokers: **beams!!


china town.. the official chinatown gates and lions.. and...... xiao fei yang huo guo!!! a few days later, we found that a brand on some packaged food with the same name; small fat goat steamboat!!


darling harbour. i don't know why but i insist on taking pictures with/of the flamingoes each ime i'm there. =) and guess what?? xinds spotted the blackbird restaurant.. and we spent 5min laughing over "orh jiao".


cutting up our oporto's chicken. yumyum!!!! did i mention i ate half a chicken by myself a couple weeks ago??? that chicken went straight down to my ass. =/

oh. and shiraz rose, jacobs creek. bad... bad.... does not go well with xinds and yokers!


Day 2: Paddington mark
my school, and the humongous hotdog from paddington's.. that was so good.... i made xinds walk miles to look for paddington's... =p


Circular Quay after the markets.... tooks heaps of photos.. =) xinds taking pix of the opera house and harbour bridge, and xinds holding up the bridge with her hand.. heh.


photog credits goes to both xinds and yokers. the sky was absolutely gorgeous!! the weather was beautiful!! i wish i could bring that all back to singapore with me!!!!!


our havaianas.. and xinds's excitement over the sign outside the pub...


us in the botanical gardens, where this artist was so fascincated by our antics he came over and wanted to draw us.. naturally, we refused. we're shy...... *burst into large laughter and farts and burps*

i told you we took heaps of pictures..... how could we not?? pretty girls, heavenly sky and new green leaves. Awesome!!!


the sepia and b&w look so old school.. plus the fact we were in stripes and dots!!! i seem to really like my stripes, and her, her dots... even our bikinis.. i was stripey and she, dotty.


bestfren loving....

and i rolled down the hill. twice. it was so much fun!!!


Day 3: Paddy's Markets at Flemington

bought heaps of fruits and vegetables super cheap there.. another thing i love about australia... the fresh fruit and vegetable markets... =)

the wind was super strong that day!!! super heavy me felt like flying away!!!


dinner.. food always tastes best in good company!!! we can cook!!!! our kids are gonna be lucky kids!!! laksa and rockmelon sago and lemonade... oh... but i flattened my egg while trying to peel it... =/


Day 4: The Rocks and Bondi junction

a different angle of the opera house... and one of the trainstations, "edge cliff". the word cliff got me all excited!!! heee... then it was bondi junction for some much needed shopping, and we got tights!!! how aussie can you feel in tights and havaianas!!! weetweeeeet!!!!

Day 5: East Gardens

we were looking throught the pictures when we noticed what the sign at UNSW was saying.. hahahaa. how coincidental!! i swear we didn't plan it!!! peanut butter gelato, and the 4 course chinese dinner.. soup, roast chicken, combination beancurd hotpot, and fruits. nice and cheap!


Day 6: Fish Market

fish market... lovelovelove!!! at closing time when i ask for 1/2 lobster mornay, 1 oyster mornay and 1 stuffed prawn, and i got 1/2 lobster mornay, 4 oysters and 4 prawns... for $19.50. and 3 soft shell crabs for $3, and a hell lot of salmon sashimi for just $7. i hope heaven is something like that!!!! plus the walk down the deck and the pretty aboriginal boat! ideas for our 21st party!!!

and of course... krispy kremes. i still can't believe that woman made me eat krispy kreme for breakfast the next 3 days.


read the captions. strawberry and chocolate. what more do i have to say?! so much i got sick of eating it.. and i'm still finishing up the curry....


Day 7: Bondi beach, nudity, and Devil Wears Prada

the wind was soooooo cold..........


but the sun was nice and hot!!! i burried xinds!!! and i pounced on top of her!!! i love these pictures so much!!!


tell me i'm a good photog!!!! i love the pictures so much!!!!! yesyes, narcissicism. well, life is short and this is my blog. and all the pictures were so nice i couldn't decide so i put them all up!!!


someone said i looked like a washboard. if only. hahaha. the bikini did not flatter me, and stretching always makes the tummy look flat. whatever. i like the top still. and i love the pictures!!! =)))


first row: xinds smilling happily as she checks out the boobs, and me looking in shock!! hahaha.


pretty dresses, cute dresses, and xinds looking super sultry and sexy in one.. (i didn't put the super sexy one up.. you might get a nose bleed!!) fashion parade after the movie..... yokers loves xinds so much!!!

Day 8: studying at gloria jeans and dimsum and shopping

the night before she leaves.... all dresssed up, and studying in gory jeans.. (no spelling error, it's an inside joke!).. then shopping as usual and parading new black dresses!!! lovelove girl!! i miss you so much!!!


***only 8 days as the real first day, she reached at night.. and the last day pictures i have yet to upload. =)

i really need to sleep cos i haven had enough sleep for the past 10 days and i need to be at work at 7am tomorrow morning..

BUT

i need to blog else i can't sleep. i'd love to say it out instead but it's so much easier controlling myself writing it out then saying it.

the past 10 days has been the best 10 days this entire semester. i had my best with me and life was normal again. i was cassan. i went out, i did nothing, i ate alot, i shopped, i walked alot, i went places i haven't been before. and best of all? i did it all with my bestfren.

in the 10 days, i got my internet, i fell asleep with someone next to me, i watched grey's anatomy every night (we finished season 2!), i got laughed at when i burped or farted, and i laughed at someone else's burps and farts, we made fun of everything, we talked about everything, we talked ourselves to sleep everynight, i went to the beach, i took at least 500 photos, i had fun, i enjoyed myself, i felt warmth everynight, i mooned her everytimei changed.

and now she's gone back.

my room feels empty without her blocking my way all the time, table looks empty with only one lappie, left side of the room looks empty without her suitcase, sounds empty without her voice, her burps, her farts, her whining, her whinging, and it's darker too... cos she'd turn on the lights everywhere she went. and the toilet is much dryer cos she's not there to wet the entire floor when she washes her face.. and i can't smell my shampoo much cos somehow, the scent stays better in her thick hair than in mine.

i miss laughing at our burpfarts, i miss pounding our chest and pointing, i miss talking to you, miss sleeping with you, miss brushing teeth with you, miss peeing with you, miss walking around with you, miss taking pictures with you, miss checking out boobies at bondi with you, miss looking out for bargains with you, miss eating with you, miss almost getting locked in the shopping centre with you, miss drinking easyway with you, miss buying all that cheap vegetables and fruits at the markets with you, miss drinking shit rose shiraz with you, miss swearing with you, miss doing everything with you babe. miss you so damn much..

i everything you bestfren..

so yea, bestfren if you're reading this right now, i miss you so damn freaking much. i am finally starting to emo.. and i'm emo-ing really bad.

6 weeks for you babe, till you go back to singapore... maybe 10 for me... maybe.. we'll see...
