Dinner at Ippudo Sydney & interesting sydney’s sights
I'm usually not a city person, but i do love having the opportunity to visit cities that have interesting sights and historical looking buildings. after all, they are not a common sight in singapore, right? Here's some interesting sights that i saw while making our way from circular quay to QVB (chain mall) to have our dinner on the first evening of our sydney's trip. a street (angel place) filled with loads of empty bird cages. it's an installation titled, "Forgotten songs" that features a bunch of empty bird cages and recorded bird sounds to remind the city dwellers of the abundant birdlife that was in the area prior to…

Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour Bridge & Sydney Opera House
Post lunch on the first day of our trip, we took a slow stroll around the rocks & circular quay area, just to soak in the sights. The entire place is so lovely and i totally love the magnificent, clear blue sky that day. peeking on the harbour bridge from the rocks area. i shot andy while he attempts to capture the bridge on my lens. the opera house. selfie of the 3 of us. but totally over exposed shot that the opera house went missing. a nice shot of us three with the bridge. watching the people moving along slowly up in the bridge doing the bridge climb like…

Visiting Sydney – Our arrival!
We arrived in sydney this morning! We are pretty hyped about visiting Sydney but we both were pretty much like zombies upon arrival because instead of sleeping on the flight (which in itself was tough), we watched movies, had supper, chatted non stop and i read on my kindle (ah, bliss!) and ended up catching only 1.5hrs of sleep. or less. when we finally landed, we took a while to orientate ourselves, get our data sim (Optus offers unlimited data, voice calls and smses for just $2/day), and hopped onto a train to andy’s apartment. that’s us waiting for a train in central station, by the way. the trains are very…

Vacation to Sydney!
photo creditI am finally going for my vacation to Sydney! the thing i hate most about vacations, is the wait. the wait for the date where you set off for the trip! and today, i will jet off to sydney! like finally! (i booked the tickets in march!) and yup, i didn’t really research intensively but i’ll be doing all the city sights – harbour bridge, the rocks, the maritime museum, aquarium, the wild life zoo and maybe the taronga zoo. I definitely want to attempt scaling the harbour bridge (it’s a dream of mine, or make that the bucket list) and check out cool places like surry hills, the…

life is pretty much about packing.
life these days is pretty much all about packing. all the boys are asleep right now. I am pretty much as tired as they are and very sleepy but my mind is racing, checking off all the to-do list and trying to pack. pack up my life. heh. some of my bags, all going into carton boxes for the husb to bring over to the new nest. while I’m away, he could slowly bring my stuff over bit by bit so I am trying to be productive and pack in whatever I think he can bring over first. and speaking about me being away, its…

I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that he doesnt have to go on any biz trips while im away.

Day 4: Visiting the Melbourne Aquarium. [warning! pictures intensive]
i have a love for marine life. my mum used to spend all day watching the fishes in our home aquarium when i was a kid because observing them has a calming effect and i totally agree. i remember i used to like going to changi airport as a kid and watch all the fishes in the huge aquariums for hours and hours at the arrival halls. while the aquariums have long been gone, but i do have very fond memories of them up till today and i’m sure many of you would agree with me. so, as i grew older and started to travel, i would often visit aquariums…

Outdated post about my Melbourne vacation. [warning: pictures intensive]
This is an outdated post about my Melbourne vacation. a group chat with some of the yummy mummy bloggers triggered this entry about melbourne. i am soooo bad with my travelogues because i never get round to finishing them! in a flash, its been 4.5 years since i last went australia, and it sure didnt seem that long ago. it was a last minute trip that i pulled off in less than a week and it was before i started on my current job. I cannot remember the vivid details to continue documenting my melbourne travelogue but i am just gonna show some nice pictures about the places i visited,…

hong kong vacation day 5 – last day!
Day 5 of our Hong Kong vacation. when we got back after a long day of shopping, I was a tad disappointed that I didn’t manage to eat the seafood I wanted to. the main deterrent was the distance because its so out of the way and required either to take a bus/ferry and I decided I wasn’t brave enough to do it. Der already had a hard time carrying baby + stroller up and down the steps in mtr through the days we were there so I wasn’t gungho enough to go. so I had a plan. to head back to hing kee for more seafood, but without…
