Hi guys, its a little late, but just updating about my second day in Sydney. I'm actually in melbourne now but ya know, better late than never :P Okay, so I spent the second day near circular quay as well. Aya & I went to eat breakfast at the famous Pancakes on the rocks. 

 We kept walking past the place we were supposed to go to but finally found it on our map hehe, I'm so proud. 

 We went in and took ages trying to pick out what we were going to order. Finally we settled on getting pancakes (figuring since it was famous for them). I got this traditional blueberry pancake. I wasn't actually expecting them to be anything special, since you can't really do all that much to make pancakes different from one another right? But they were actually really good, very very fluffy. Except there was too much and I felt so sick after finishing them. 

 Ummmm yeah, just observe the buildings hahahahaha, we were so high that day. 

 I felt a little unwell on that day actually so when natalie & Aya went to go shopping at Westfield I sat down and had a mini nap. For dinner I persuaded them both to go ding tai fung with me!!! Finally got to have the food I've been craving for a few months. 

Their food is sooooooo good. But it's so pricey compared to Australia. Natalie, Aya & I shared a plate of veggies, two baskets of those buns above and beef noodle soup but we still had to pay $22 each (well including drinks). It was worth it though. 

Hi guys! I've safely arrived in Sydney now (Well technically this is already my third day here but ya know).  I know I said I was going to blog about paint ball but since I'm so busy nowadays I guess I'll just update about Sydney!! 

Firstly, let me just say... it is so much bigger than brisbane. Sadly, I'm still a magnet for creeps even here. When Aya and I just arrived at the airport, some gangster looking dude came over and asked us where we were going and that he could take us there for $15 except he hadn't even heard of our hostel  -_-. Then after we decided to take the train, there was a 60 year old man who smelt of fish that was sitting across us in a tracksuit. After sitting in silence for like 5 minutes he was just like 

'you girlies got arrangments? If not you can come over to my place' 

me= Ummm yeah we got arrangments, meeting with friends

'well my place you can stay for three months, come to my place' 

He spoke with a random accent too, so it was really really creepy. 

Other than that, we got off at Central station and went to find our hostel. Turns out it's located really close to World square which is where ding tai fung is. Had that for dinner last night, soooooo good. 

We met a korean couple here that wanted us to take photos for them and after we did they asked if we needed a photo. I gave my camera to the guy and he pretended to run off with it and I didn't even notice -facepalm- 

Anyway, on the first day it was just Aya & I (since natalie was off with her boyfriend hehe) so the two of us just went to visit the Sydney Opera house & Sydney harbour bridge :3 After staying till night time to observe the illuminated structures, we went to scab wifi for two hours at maccas hahahahaha.

 Here guys, I know you all love seagulls ;) 

 We found a really nice spot to sit in where we could see both the sydney harbour bridge and opera house in close proximity. 

 I'm holding the sydney harbour bridge guys!!! Haha, jokes it doesn't even look like I am. 

We found this plaza place near our hostel with heaaaps of asian cuisine, including japanese so we ate there. Man, gotta say that Sydney has so much more food choices compared to Brisbane (it's ok, I still love you brisbane). 

 After a few mishaps along the way, we finally arrived at Roma St parklands, the weather was so good, quite sunny and not too cold. 

 Joon took over the BBQ, I swear he has so many talents.... karaoke, DDR, pool, BBQ yeah HAHA and gaming of course. 

 Food glorious food 

Justin having an argument with a sausage 

 Me embarrassing myself on the grassed area trying to catch/kick this feather thing to someone else, I had so many fail moments yesterday (:" When we eventually went to play pool, I had joon on my team, he's really pro yet when we were about to win, I sunk the black ball WITH the white ball, making us lose. Sigh. 

 We had so much food left over that thomas made us play card games and whoever lost had to eat a slice of bread/ piece of meat/ handful of salad. By the end of the game, we literally finished a whole plate of meat, two loaves of bread and about 80% of the salad. So full. I felt so bad for pinky, she kept losing and had to eat almost 10 pieces of toast 

 SUCCESS, kind of. :3 More photos to come later. It was so fun and by the time we cleaned everything up, everyone was ready to go buy some drinks (no not alcohol, cause we're so good 8D ). Met up with kwok who bumped into richie after work and I awkwardly made him hang out with us since I forgot my student ID card and didn't go watch a movie kwok like we planned to. I really wanted to watch fast & furious 6/ The great Gatsby. Sighs. Everyone left afterwards, leaving PK, Tam, kwok, justin, Richie & I. Later On, I realised I left my camera at Roma st parklands.... and my kind friends went back with me to go look for it in the dark :') Thanks so much guys! 

 I really love this shot ^ It looks so damn cool 

 Then we decided to do some weird 'the force' thing, I think my camera had some water on the lens, making the photo have a really cool effect. Then Richie & Kwok took a super gay and cute selfie. LOL. They would make such a cute couple, except they're actually straight hahaha. 

Oh my god, this photo makes me laugh so much. 

Such a good day and by the time it was 10pm, we started to 'D&M', had to explain to justin what it meant and he kept making it awkward by going 'omg guys, are we D&M'ING NOW???' Hahaha. I swear I'm getting home later and later each time I go out. I love staying out at night time though, the atmosphere is so good. Anyway, I'll blog about paintball today later, so tired. Flying off to sydney tomorrow. Good evening guys! 

 Other than that, I also finished my exams on the same day!!! So we went to celebrate yet AGAIN. Haha my uni friends & I pretty much celebrated after every exam. We went for milk tea, yee sum and a friend came to find me  as well :) Afterwards we decided to go play pool. Joon has been teaching us how to play pool properly hehehe. 

Went for dinner at new shanghai afterwards, we spit the bill so we could all have a variety of food. Introduced a few people to the pork bun things which have soup in them. I can't wait till I get to sydney to have some at a restaurant called Ding tai fung. 

Justin chose beef noodle 

Some pork bun thingy 

Xiao long bao 

Then we decided to be pigs and go have noggi. Tom was working and gave us a discount :') Thanks so much tom!! 

Meet my friends, people who make uni heaps more enjoyable for me. 

Afterwards it was only pk, joon, justin & I left but we didn't want to go home so we went to passion tree cause we had nothing else to do. We were all super full but it would've been awkward sitting there not buying anything so we got honey bread, it was my first time trying it. 

 I made strawberry and vanilla swirl cookies for our chinese school end of term break up party. They didn't turn out sweet enough though  cause I was trying to make them healthier by putting less sugar :\ So I ended up coating the top with a bit of egg and sprinkling some caster sugar and putting them back into the oven to bake for a little. Somehow they were tasteless to me, but everyone else said they tasted fine.
