Gosh. I really miss aussie. What wouldnt i give for another day in Aussie!!



Well.. that means that i'm prob gonna recap my trip in excruciating (Thanks vinna!) detail so be warned!



Before i can recap anything though, i must thank two incredible people who were the very reason for my trip to down under in the first place. A huge "Thank you" to Ting and Neela! No amount of "thank you"s can adequately express my gratitude to them for making aussie such a wonderful experience! It was precisely because of them that this trip was more special and heart warming than most! :D



Ting and Neela during dinner

I have to say a huge THANK YOU to Neela for taking time off her busy schedule, managing to tear herself away from her love, and travel 3 hours to join us in Sydney. Sydney would not been half as fun without her at all! She was my sole rock to cling to when we would devise ways to leave the lovey dovey couple to themselves! lol! Also, the poor girl had to endure us pausing every once in a while to snap photos, or forcing her to take a photo! At the Sydney Opera House, Ting was going all out for her love of photography by lying on the floor to get the perfect angle while Neela looked on disbelievingly / disapprovingly..

An incredulous Neela watching Ting demostrate what she would do for her art. The picture is a tad blurred cause i was laughing so hard

We even ran out of the car to take photos of a lovely sunset while she missed Nathan... heh!

The beautiful sunset Ting and i were scrambling to take photos of while Neela goes "wtf?" in the car! Neela was also a very crucial participant of Mission Hot. So heaps of love and thanks go out to the Goddess of Wisdom!

Neela missing her Nathan..

This trip was a super relaxed one because i didnt have to plan anything for the
travel itinerary (thanks vinna!). In fact, ting was cheering me up during the exams by telling me what she had planned! Here's the lovely angel!


The flurry of emails during my exam period was, indeed, a guide towards the light at the end of the tunnel! Instead of dreading to come online to read more notes, i knew i count on checking my email inbox to see that i've got new mail from them.

Besides taking over the travel itinerary, ting was an amazing food guide. Not once did we waste our calories on bad food! Every eating experience was a delight and made me regret not bringing maternity clothes to aussie! I fell head over heels in love with freddo's, developed a strong crush on grecco's cakes and more...

And have i mentioned how grateful i am to ting for accompanying me to places tt she has already been to? Even though she had been to the Great Ocean Road, Philip Island and shopping, she still made the time and effort to bring me to all these wonderful places. What can i say? She's seriously the best Melbourne guide ever! :D

Ting is also one excellent photographer with her big ass camera! If i post any nice photos, chances are they were taken by ting. For example, the photos of the animals posted in my previous entry were taken by ting. For some reason, all the animals looked directly at her while she happily snapped away. hmmmph!

Ting's huge ass pro camera

And of course there was the self-love photos tt she is seriously good at taking! Not to mention how patient she was as i would closely scrutinise every photo and if i was dissastisfied, she would just roll her eyes and take one more photo.

More examples of Ting's excellent self-love!


Then.. she found the self timer mode on my camera and nothing could stop us!

Setting the camera's timer




Needless to say, ting soon became the person who was running from the camera after setting it. And yet again, the photos she did the self timer for always turned out better than the ones i did! That girl has a midas touch with cameras!



Another memorable example of how awesome ting is the when we were freezing our asses off at the Great Ocean Road.

I learned how Ting deals with the very very cold... she kneels down!


We were viewing London's Bridge and ting was about to go back when i asked her whether she wanted to take a self-love photo together. The incredulous look she gave me was a moment i would always remember! then our tour guide came along and asked us whether we wanted a shot.. LOL! Poor ting's look was simply priceless! Here's the resulting shot!


So to Neela and Ting, THANK YOU for all the fun, laughter, talks, guides, photos and memories... You have truly made my aussie adventure the best one yet! :D
