Sydney Road Trip <-- Best thing ever!

First of all, I would like to thank Malcolm Teo for the planing, driving, fun idea, and etc. I don't think it'll be fun without you around in this trip. Then, sorry to my parents that I really went to Sydney although you keep on advice me not to go. By the way, I did go to Sydney and NO REGRETS at all! Those who came along are Susan, Huyen, Caryn, Mandy and of course Malcolm. Yea, there are six of us in the car, but still we managed to go to Sydney safe and comfortably.

Nothing much really happens until Friday, the very first day we started our half way journey after a rest in some hotel. Mandy suggested to play some game in car. Which we have to act as an animal when you lost. I thought I'm lucky at first until I really lost and I have to become a monkey, then a wood pecker! Lol, you know what, the driver, Malcolm also have to play along! The vids of every animal in the trip is in Malcolm's camera, can't wait to watch it.

Once reached Sydney, Malcolm brought us to meet his friend, Erica which tours us around Sydney all the time. We had Korean for dinner then walked along chinatown. It looked a little bit like Petaling Street in KL anyway, except everyone are speaking chinese and people are much more friendly.

The next morning, we went to fish market! What I can say is, awesome!! This place is superb! We ate some fresh, nice and cheap seafood once we reached there. Later the afternoon, we went to Paddy Market near chinatown to shop shop but we end up taking pictures around. As for dinner, we head to Darling Harbor and thought of going to Hurricane, a famous place to have dinner, but too bad, the queue was too long and we went to pancake on the rock. It looked similar to pancake palour in Melbourne. The rest of the night we went back to the penthouse and played drinking game till midnight. Can't believe that we did multi language name calling this time lol. Got malay, hokkien/fujian then, ChiKamKo!, penguin in Vietnamese, dunno what fish names when playing with chinese names, where I lost all the time! Lol!

Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge! We went there the next day and took a lot of pictures especially Mandy said that she wants to take at least 200 picture that day! We took a super fast boat ride at there, 'drank' a lot of water and experienced, and many new things there. Saw bunch of naked people on one of the beach also LOL!! Too bad I didn't wear my glasses and can't see anything at all. xD Everyone was wet after the ride. Malcolm offered Susan his cloths since Susan was wearing a white shirt that time. Then, when Malcolm tried to wear Susan's shirt I laughed like hell LOL LOL LOL, he was so SEXY!! Nice body, Malcolm, even Susan was so prepared with her camera to take pics but too bad didn't. After that, we went to Bondi Beach, a famous beach in Sydney and have a 'walk'. After some time, Malcolm whispered "Eh, Susan, Susan." We made Susan lie down on the beach and 'buried' her! Lol by that time, everyone was wearing jeans and normal wear as if walking around the city. Malcolm and I later, run and carry Susan (yea again lol), Huyen, and Caryn to the sea! We can't stop laughing when everyone was wet and caught sands all around their body and their shirt. Once we reached back our place, we went to the swimming pool for a swim! Yeah some of you are thinking what I can do there cause I don't know how to swim at all! Susan and Huyen was trying to help me with swimming! Learned a little bit things but still can't swim! I will learn one day!! Btw the swimming pool over there are cool! Really hard to describe unless you at the place yourself! The night we went for a Thai cuisine and then to Sydney Opera House again for a night view. Then finally returned to the penthouse and rest since everyone are really tired already. Once we reached the penthouse we found that we left our room keys inside! Thanks to Mandy and Malcolm to call, talk and find ways to settle the problem. The rest of us were sitting on the couch at the lobby and took a nap.

Next day, Susan and Huyen told us that they will stay at Sydney awhile longer and stay with Huyen's uncle's place. So only four of us went back to Melbourne. During journey we stopped by some village for our lunch. To be honest, quite spooky leh, imagine its quiet and no people all the time, then enter an old wooden tavern and an old woman served us. Then Mandy added, "What if our chicken pie is not made of chicken" lol. The place and settings really look like watching House of Wax leh! On the way, Mandy was too exhausted and didn't feel so well. Hope she's better right now.

Well, this is my trip and definately looking forward for another one, the next time, I have to make sure that Ken joined us and had this fun together!
