Kajie's Bday

On the 19th April, we celebrated kajie's bday. Since the whole family was down, I was in charge of the planning. Instead of the normal boring dinner in a restaurant, I thought of going for a dinner cruise around the darling harbour but in the end, we went for a tall ship cruise twilight dinner!!

Pirates of the carribean ship

The weather that day was kinda chilly and windy, so the ship was really rocking. This is a historic timbre tall ship, everything you see on the ship is what it is when it was first built, so it's really old and rustic.

Me and old man:P

Mummy and us

Ah xin with the poker chips to redeem our complimentary alcoholic/non-alcoholic drink

You see I've some problem telling apart the Harbour bridge and Anzac bridge, but this must be the bridge we always see to promote Syndey

Since is Autumn now, it turns dark by 6pm, so before it gets really dark, we took some picturesque shots of Syndey viewed from the ship.

It was raining by the time dinner was served, so we moved into the ship to eat dinner. The food was alright, nothing too fancy but I guess you pay for the experience rather than the food.

Interesting pictures on the wall behind of us


The lame sister wanted to camwhore on the winding stairs

We moved to the outside to breathe in some fresh air because they stopped running on engine power and opened up the sails. So the wind was moving the ship and this time the ship was really rocking bad haha..

We threw the captain off the ship and took control of the ship wahahaha but sadly the camera battery was dying so papa took the picture in a hurry and it came out blur!

Last picture of the ship before the camera really DIED

Back at the apartment, we did the usual sing song, cut the cake tradition. April is filled with birthdays and so is May..yeah yeah more birthdays to celebrate

Royal Easter Show 09

Finally I'm finished with my mid sem test. Weeks of microecons and macroecons. I'm officially ECON-FIED!

On Easter Sunday, we visited the most talked about event for Easter which is the Royal Easter Show at Sydney Olympic park. We were a little worried about the weather as its been raining for the past few days, and from weather forecast, we were suppose to expect rain....BUT according to my weather goddess who has been observing the weather during easter weekend since she was 11 told me that on easter friday and saturday it'll be gloomy but easter sunday will definitely shine!!

Well, rain or shine I wanted to visit the show at least once in my Aussie life. It cost I think 38 dollars or so to get in to this big show. Basically, the show is about the agriculture industry, mainly about dairy farms animals and easter goodies booth and a mini theme park with lots of games booth.

At the entrance with Jennifer, the other pharmacy asst

It wasn't really sunny but it didn't rain either

First show we watched was the dog racing show...so cute the lil dogs competing against the big size dogs.

There was lamb shearing, I think that's what you call it, the process to get the wool It's really smelly..but the wool is really very nice to touch..feels like a comfy carpet

More and more farm animals, and I noticed most of the farm animals are prized or award winning cows and horses

The cow felt like a thermal heater, their body feels very warm, no need to hug those heated stuff during winter, just hug a cow instead!

Award winning cow, award winning droppings

After leaving the big farm animal area, we visited the cute animal area..

Bluey's cousin

Bunny wannyyyy..so cute!!

There was this whole area where little lambs and goats were running around to be fed and pat

See the look of disgust on my face, I took a cup of hay to feed the goats and this particular one kept attacking my cup

Huge ass duck, till now I'm not sure if it's a duck or goose but they say it's a duck



Baby with baby lamb...awwwwwwwwww

Momma pigs and baby pigs

Seeing all the animals made us hungry..not for meat but for CORN, the corn place is really happening, they play mexican music and start making music with pots n pans while peeling the corns!

The highlight of the easter show must be the pig racing and diving show, kt waited almost 1 hr plus to get seats for the show while we went to shop around. By the time we went to the line to get into the show, it was already filled up and we lied to the people that we stepped out to go to the toilet and we need to jump que to the front where kt is waiting...haha they believed us. When we jump que to the front like VIP, there were angry stares following our backs!

The crowd for the pig show

After the pig stunt show, we were off to fulfill Jennifer's wish to win those stuff toys from playing games, she wanted kermit the frog really bad, so the first game we tried was the mini bowling game but after spending 20 over dollars, we decide to move on to another game.

We finally spotted a fun and quite easy game. All we had to do is pay 4 dollars for 5 darts to shoot the balloons which had different points and to win the frog we needed 140 something points!!! Well the guy who attended to us was really nice...coz we knew which balloon gave the most points, so we kept aiming at that particular one, each time we burst it..then we'll talk him into putting new balloons into that spot for us to aim!

In the end, we got the frog and even better I helped them take a picture...sniff sniff I approached him to take a picture with her but actually I wanted a picture too haha...he's got really sexy irish/scottish accent!!

Jennifer and the GAME boy

And this is me with my NAB macho man

Kermit the frog

The main thing I was interested in was the fireworks at 9pm, but before that there were really cool bike and truck stunt shows...


Fireworks was quite good, brings me back to old days in US..all the seaworld mystified fireworks..and disney ones

Jennifer was so happy over her kermit that she bought us a piggie balloon as a gift for helping her win her frog prince!

Yea..the piggie is still floating in the air after almost 2 weeks..amazing man this pig!

That's the end of my Easter post, we're going to Port Stephens tomorrow so I've quite some stuff to blog after this...


Anyway, today's JM's birthday...though I can't be there like the past few yrs to plan HAVOC surprises, I still hope you would have as much fun but It's going to be abit imposibble as nobody else would give you such highly creative surprises haha

Don't fret okay..I'll try my best to find you a bf here...among the pool of koreans and hongkies and prcs
Stay pretty, stay happy and as you grow older I've to wish you stay healthy haha
And as of your time, is still 5 more minutes till the end of your bday but for my time is already past... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JM!!

Carnivale @ SPACE

Last Saturday was an action packed day. In the afternoon, kajie n kt's friends came over to play board games and the usual poker or Big 2 (dai di). I didn't really join them in playing, just help kajie with a few words in scrabble and lost most of kt's money in Big 2, the guys here play dai di differently!! Most of the time, I was burrowing myself in the usual every week ECONS quiz..sigh

Well, work hard and play even harder muahahahaha

That night, we went down to the club called SPACE. The event is like a hall bash, but this one is organized by malaysian university students in sydney..so you can say is a Malaysian clubbing night! Didn't know what to expect, my first club in sydney, to add on top of everything is a Malaysian thing...back in Malaysia the clubs are either filled with hot Machans or ah lians n ah bengs...over here...surprise surprise I'll get to it soon!

Before we head down to the club, we had a light dinner at Hungry Jacks. By the time we reached the club, I guess it was still early..not much que

Oh HAWT dammmmm..haha

My dancing partner for the night, I call him suk suk to exaggerate his age but judging from that night, he had amazing stamina despite his arthritis haha. He could still come up with lame jokes while moving around..

The name of the club says it all I guess, you step in the club, there's I think 3 elevators to go up to the main dance floor, and there would be a girl in each elevator to chat you up while serving you..I mean serving you to which floor you want to go!
There's really alot of SPACE in the club, there's 2 dance floor with different music and it's separated by the bar in between.
Never before I've been to a club, where you can move so much to the left, to the right, to the front, to the back!!! I can do some capoiera around the dance floor lol
Though there was quite a crowd but there was still lots of SPACE
The music was not too bad, but the DJ's are abit out, they play the whole damm song and repeat it maybe after an hour!! You only get high at the beginning and the chorus of the song, playing the whole song only makes you want to visit the toilet!

I found my way to the mini podium..decided to step up and see the world from the top..I was telling my friend when we dance on top..it feels like we've fans at the bottom!

Typical clubbing pictures..if you can spot me

Brokeback is IN..haha

Actually I was quite surprised that the club was filled with not bad looking guys, and I assumed that most of them are Malaysians. I always thought our dear M'sian guys cannot make it, but according to sy..all the rich one come to Australia become more handsome..leaving all the muka tuts at home haha

DJs also not bad..quite "SEH"
The DJs can be spotted on the dance floor now and then

As though to prove my point, while I was sitting down to drink water, kajie took a random picture and there you see a not bad looking hunk behind!

We lasted for 3 hrs plus in the club..not bad considering kajie n kt were mostly sitting down since her heels were killing her..It was a fun, not bad for first time clubbing in Sydney ......different feel as compared to S'pore and US. No mambo guys doing hand movements haha no jm doing chicken dance haha

Before we left the club, I just remembered, I didn't take any pictures of the club interior, so here's one with the pretty light behind.

This week is Easter break but I'm stuck with mugging for both my Microecons and Macroecons midterm next week!! I'm looking forward to this weekend as the family is coming down yeah yeah...
Next post should be about Royal Easter Show!!!
