Friday was a very very tiring day... or should I say tiring in a good way as it was fun.Micheal, Emily, Jacqulyn, Blanch, Sharon and I are some of the lucky 56 who did register and got to tour the city with the rest of the school. Although I've been to Sydney before, it is just different actually touring with your classmates... Nope I've never been on a school trip or what so ever...
Too bad Katy couldnt join us... Pity
So I woke up at UniLodge... And got ready for the trip and gathered with the rest and off we headed to the L5 Building(Foundation Building).
There we joined in with the rest of the group. And to no surprise, we were one of the latest. But the latest goes to some Indo girls who just take their own sweet time walking. They can see that everyone is already there waiting but they just too their long slow stroll!
Anyway sat with Emily in the bus... and off we went! (and everyone keeps taking my shades as I had more than one) -red and white-
The first stop was to Mrs Macquire Point. It is a little off the Botanical Gardens. From there you can get one of the nices shot which include The Opera House and The Harbour Bridge. Two famous locations in one shot. Its like hitting two birds with one stone...
We took heaps of pitures around the area as the sky and the views around Sydney is just lovely to take photos. Seriously. Each snap shot looks just like one on a post card!
Right after this rather long photo opt. We head down to Darling Harbour... yet again... around there was more time for more photo opt. And I must say some photos look like those of the previous post as it is the same place
WARNING: MISGHT CAUSE BOREDOM
After the little walk around Darling Harbour. We went on to the Maritime Museum... As we had free time it was all for us to explore. So as the rest of the tour gruop was heating themselve till they turned grilled, we were in this really comfy place and learnt some neat stuff. And to my surprise or everyones. The trip into this
museum is actually free! At certain times, so we must be lucky!
On the way back. We bummed into some really playful Aussie Girls who started playing with water which was from a public fountain. A lot of people tend to take a dip in it as the scorcing heat might just get us all cooked. And they got into a water fight... but a friendly one. 2 Aussie Girls VS 2 Hongkie Girls(Jacqulyn and Sharon).
After that we walked back to the bus
And the next stop is the famous Bondi Beach! It was swarming with people that look like ants from far view. People there had almost the same skin colour - TAN! And besides that, us guys feel really stupid being there as many guys there had all this wash board abs that look so good and fine... we... a flat belly at least... but still...
Anyway with that heat. I think about 32 degree celcius... You just want to jump into that water to cool yourself off... And the water temperature was just nice!
After the beach... It concluded our trip and I got a little sun burn especially on the arms. It was rather red. And seriously I did put on my sun block.. Just guess I got to put much much more the next trip. So yea, do bring extra sun screen everyone...
But that didnt end... went back to Padstow and off I was to go for badminton with Joseph and Uncle Richard... and I must say I slacked a lot... havent really played badminton for sometime now...
After that, we got back home.. and boy was I beat but I was up catching up with some friends back home and due to time difference, we chatted into the wee hours over here in Sydney
Today is going to be one of the hottest day! So Be prepared... and I guess I'll just stay at home... hahaaha... Or take a dip in the pool!
