My Sydney & Perth Trip

Praise the Lord for blessing me with the wonderful, splendid & blessed time spent in Sydney & Perth, Australia recently! I have met many gracious and friendly local aussies as l roamed the streets of Sydney alone...Went to the Sydney tower thrice as l was simply mesmerized by the enchanting city of the Sydney....Simply bowled over by its beauty....Managed to visit the Sydney wildlife zoo and Aquarium on the every same day so as to maximum the time spent...Simply adored the Koalas bears though they are almost or shall l put it, sleeping all the time...such carefree creatures who do not care a hoot for the materials of the world...I totally envy them ah...Ha-ha...Eat and sleep the whole time...Wonders what is the purpose of having them around?!
I wonders why?! **Chucklings**

Most of the time, l simply loved strolling along the Bondi Beach and Congee Beach. Simply enjoys stepping the soft sand that felt so so comfortable and the cool cold water splashing around my legs as if the sea are welcoming me to their humble premise & sashaying proudly towards me with their mighty waves. I liked Congee Beach the best as it's located near my best friend's apartment ah which is only 15 to 30mins...The waves splashing around the rocks had such a calming effect on me...

In the meanwhile, l simply enjoys strolling the Royal Botanic gardens of Sydney..Lovely flowers and gigantic trees plus not forgetting the bats...Hundreds of bats...**Shudders at the thought of them flying around in broad daylight though they didn't disturb us but their hissing sounds made one skin crawls ah...Thanks goodness l managed to join the free 1 and 1/2 hour of tour around the Botanic gardens where the local volunteer guide gives a great preview of the Botanic garden...Managed to find a great view of the Sydney opera house for photo taking...Such beautiful memories to behold ah....Not forgetting that l managed to get a glimpse of the Sydney government houses, a free 45mins tours around the government house..such breathtaking view ah....There are so much free things to do if only one knows the way around Sydney ah....

Oh gosh! I also managed to get a glimpse of the inside of the Sydney opera house when l happened to chance upon it during one of the concert breaktime on one fine Saturday evening...What a night to end my trip in Sydney....Ha-ha....Oh before l forgets, l also managed to catch the earthsaving hour which the partial lights in Sydney harbourbridge and Opera house were switched off so as to observe the earthsaving event...Interesting to partake in such an event....

The mode of transportation that l used most of time is bus as it's less taxing on my wallet...Heehee...I also enjoys chatting with other tourists whom also liked me...were mostly backpackers who enjoy roaming the streets of Australia alone...This is the first time that l got to roam around and alone in Sydney which l simply enjoys the solitude...Strange as it might sounds...I felt empowered and that the world is my oyster to play with...That l am alive with excitement....And that anything is possible ah....
As l was pretty much chauffeured around in Perth by my brother and sis-in-law...
**Cold sweat** Though l truly appreciated the gesture but l do not have much choices to roam around freely except for the malls....Felt liked a puppy in a pet shop with a chain around the neck ah....**Chucklings** Not that l am complaiming or anything as l fully understand that they loved me very much and do not wish to see me suffers or in any harm way....

Hence, you would probably understand why l am simply darned happy and excited to travel alone from Perth to Sydney via domestic flight Virgin blue....The domestic flight was pretty great though l listened to my mp3 most of the time as they do not provided other forms of entertainment unless if you want to use credit card to pay for the movies or other commerical stuff which l rather not...

And guess what, there was a fatal incident involving rival gang fights which leads to one death on the day that l arrived in the domestic airport....What a welcome ah!? I am glad and grateful that my best friend, Hweeling managed to fetch me from the domestic airport and showed me around for a day or two before l am left alone...Not that l am complaining as she is also tied down with work and studies....Thank god that l didn't experience any racists or none so whatever...in fact, everyone that l met, be it the bus driver to the grandpa on the streets were extremely friendly and helpful towards me...Hence, l simply am dumbstrucked by their politeness and sincerity ah...
Guess l was the only one wearing **tinted glasses** if you know what l meant when l reached Australia especially when l heard so many gruesome details about racists stuff that l was a bundle of nerves but l decided to take off my tinted glasses and smile to everyone that l have met along the way...Perhaps it is the grace of the Lord that l managed to meet all of the wonderful locals and had a swell time in Sydney and Perth....Simply loved the cosmopolitan city of Sydney ah....Till we meet again..Please take good care of yourself, Mr. Sydney ah....Ha-Ha :-)
