Now that im fully rested and unpacked, and almost used to the sweltering heat here (by that i mean, in an air conditioned room), i can start summarising my little aussie adventure :D

i ..
- had this air steward for eye candy on the way there :D :D a very good start to my holiday. He was attentive and even attempted to strike up a conversation with me! But, being the incompetent social idiot that i am, i spluttered and stuttered and so, good bye cute air steward.

-discovered that ting's place has no lift. *horror music please* i had to lug 19kg up the staircase twice (once when arriving from spore, once when coming back from sydney) and then down twice! What's the point of a fireman pole's in such scenarios?



the enclosed fireman's pole (the building used to be a fireman's place)


the many steps i had to lug my luggage up! I'm mighty mouse!





- got scratched by a bloody kangaroo!! I was feeding it in the proper way mind you!


ting helpfully took the exact moment it scratched me. Yes, i am howling in pain in the pic.


- decided that kangaroos are the EVIL-EST of all! evil-er than dolphins. i literally was scuttling away from the kangaroos.


the sight i was fleeing away from


-got match made. Yes, he was cute (im putting him into mission hot if he agrees). No, i'm not his type. I drank lots of alcohol to escape from reality. They told me that Jon's friend, Jenny, would join us for dinner and i was half thinkin of all the topics i could talk to her about.. (my worst case scenario was to talk about tampons). and then Jenny turned out to be a guy.


- was attacked by a poncho. And my dear friend, ting, helpfully took a photo. le sigh. JUST because i took photos when she broke her slipper and when neela and her were figuring out directions, doesn't mean tt ting is entitled to point, laugh and then gleefully capture the moment on film. especially when you considered how she was a conspirator of Plan "Jenny"!


Attack of the poncho!



- realised that aussie has a weird fixation with animals and their naughty bits. In Canberra where Neela lives, the main highlight of the town is a.. wait for it.. a sheep sitting up with its naughty bits for all the world to see. In Sydney, we discovered this very very virile bull where one cannot help but notice his.. ahem virile-ness. Then, there's a pig in a very seductive pose. Melbourne, on the other hand, gets a cow up in a tree. hmmm. ah wells. Singapore does have a confused lion/fish so i suppose i'm not one who can laugh very hard.

The seductive pig
Melbourne's famous "The cow in the tree"

- put on loads of weight. Ting is the best foodie guide ever. Not once did we waste our calories on bad food! The problem was that we almost always over ordered and didnt learn out lesson till day 9. Every meal, i would dread hearing the worst five words coming out of Ting's mouth "You can have the rest". She would utter it with such finality that i wouldnt dare to argue! I kept on mewing for help and the signature catchphrase of every meal was "We're in trouble".. normally said after warily reviewing the huge portions of the food!
Fish at Sydney Fish Market (This fish made me smart enough to provide witty comebacks to Neela and Ting!)
Neela squeaked in delight when she saw the green seaweed.
Crab Noodles.. yum!
Sofia's garlic bread with cheese
Stalactite's wrap and chips
Pancake on the rocks' ribs
Pancake on the rocks' desserts
Hurricane (Bondi Beach)'s ribs
Mcbrenna's waffles
Grecco's cakes
Spicy Spciy Ramen!


We agreed tt we would detox right after the trip but so far, my plans to detox and diets have fallen flat on their faces. Day one : Diet smashed to bits as soon as i got home from the airport resutling in gulping down Curry and Lo ark (duck) Day two : Renewed diet lasted till approximately 10 am when i started stuffing my face with Macs Hotcakes and then with Prawn Noodles.
- realised how fast i can strip and jump into the shower. Brrrr... almost as good as Sherlin's shuttle run. Hahaha!

-discovered the world's greatest ice cream. When i ate it, i realised how empty my life had been until that point of time. Freddo's!! marry me!
- met mr wenting, jon.

-suck at self love (aka taking photos of oneself)
i always always cut myself out.


... whilst ting is very good at it!


- fell in love with aussie
