Flashback Friday #2 – The Amazing Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya – the smoke that thunders)
I never completed journaling down my south africa trip from 4 years ago. the last i checked… my last entry was at day 6 of the trip… and i had to stop cos i was going to be late for a flight to orlando. ahhhh.. orlando. a trip that i never got round to blogging about at all. maybe i’ll do that for the next flash back friday instead. i totally miss travelling pre-kids. you know, the luxury of dropping everything and flying last minute? the thrill of not knowing where i’ll be and what’s my next travel destination. adhoc travels used to my kind of thing, i realised. still,…

Flashback Friday #1 – My visit to Illinois from many moons ago (2007!)
taking a break from the sydney trip, i’m gonna launch into another country US state that i visited but never got round to blogging about. Also, i think i’m gonna make it a point to do a #flashbackfriday post every friday because i do have a lot of outdated stuff that i want to talk about! So yup. Illinois. For the longest time, i kept telling people i went to chicago, but the truth is… i landed in Chicago O’Hare International Airport and zipped out of the place in under an hour. i only saw the chicago airport and some streets. nothing else. I spent the most of my time…

Sydney Wild Life Zoo @ Sydney Darling Harbour
if you are wondering, i’m still at day 4 of my trip and I have 5 more days to blog about….Some times, I get stressed thinking about how I am going to find the time to jot all my memories of my trip down, but small baby steps.. i’ll get there somehow. you guys bear with me alright? So, we headed to the Sydney Wild Life Zoo as the last destination for the day. We were pretty zonked out having visited the Sydney’s Maritime Museum, Sydney Sea Life Aquarium & Madame Tussauds all in the same day. I would’t recommend it doing the way i did because we were pretty…

Madame Tussards Sydney
This post is all about our trip to Madame Tussards Sydney. I know, i said i’ll blog about the Wild Life Zoo next in my earlier post on Sydney’s Sea Life Aquarium, but i totally forgot that we went Madame Tussauds before the zoo. So, i’m just gonna talk about Madam Tussauds first. If you know me, i’m more of a animal, marine life person or adventurous type of person. Thrill-seeking type if you need to label me. or nature-loving. I’l visit zoos, aquariums, do climbs, white-water rafting in a jiffy but museum sorta places, i’ll choose carefully and only do those that interests me. so, Madame Tussauds isn’t really…

More of my Sydney adventures – visiting the Sydney Maritime Musuem
I’m blogging about Sydney Maritime Museum today! I’m have been kinda slacking on the sydney’s posts. errmm, it’s already been more than ONE MONTH since i landed back in singapore! Hmmm, where did all that time fly to? anyhow, i am inspired to continue blogging on my adventures because it was a really, really, fun trip and at the same time, i had a gf who messaged me and said she got inspired by my posts and booked herself and her family on trip! (hello and waves to P!) I think i’m doing good to boost sydney’s tourism. Heh. heh. To catch my earlier posts on sydney, you can read…

st andrews cathedral and chinatown in sydney
after our morning excitement checking out the sydney’s tower eye on day 3 of our trip, we did some light shopping and had lunch. we had full intention of checking off a lot more items on our “to-do” list but the day turned out to be a lot more chilled than we planned it to be. chicken avocado spuds from spuds and crepes for lunch at westfields sydney, which is basically potatoes. shopping for jellybeans as gifts for colleagues. this is such a happy place! there are soooooooo many different jellybean flavors that i couldn’t buy it all despite lugging a lot! (pardon the pixelated pictures, nabbed from my instagram)…

Experiencing The Sydney Tower Eye & Sky Walk (Sydney’s tallest building)
I have a lot more about sydney to post about, so bear with me! I’m only stuck at the 3rd day for now, so there are 7 more days’ worth of blog entries coming and I hope I could pen down all the wonderful memories that i have had. It was really a lovely trip, especially sans kids and doing all the exciting activities and fun things in sydney, together with friends. mainly touristy things, because i am after all, a tourist! For some weird reason, I kept craving for vietnamese pho the moment I arrived in sydney and I was so excited when I came across one shop selling…

Sydney Fish Market where fresh seafood resides!
This post is about Sydney Fish Market, a place where I visited during my vacation to Sydney with my gf and without the kids. i’m still missing the fun i had on my trip and am seriously experiencing a bad case of post holiday blues. it pains me to view the pictures because… i just want to head back there and chill. the place is just so chill and laid back. anyhow, what’s a trip to sydney without checking out the Sydney’s Fish Market right? it’s a stone throw away from darling harbour and we simply walked over after soaking in the sights at the harbour. checking out the map of…

Sights at the Darling Harbour, Sydney.
on the second day of the trip, we planned to visit the darling harbour to soak in the sights, and walk to the sydney fish market for lunch. but this post is just gonna be loads and loads of pictures of darling harbour. simply because i find the place so alluring and mesmerizing, i could just sit around a whole day and people watch. sharing all the pictures that i took! warning – it’s A LOT OF PICTURES! to get to darling harbour, just take the train to town hall and its a 10min walk from the station. that’s the easiest for me. I wasn’t familiar with the bus numbers…
