whale watching

Hey hey...
Chiau Chuin and Annie will your guide today on board to a trip of whale watching.
This is after the sydney trip...on that weekend...we went whale watching!!!!

Woke up super early that morning...after a late night of work....not feeling tired at all..
cos me and my flatmate was so excited that she have to drown herself with some coke to calm her down..it is her 定神茶
anyway..slept almost the whole car journey towards the port...looks like the tiredness finally catch up with me.
and finally up we go..on the yatch and off towards to a whale watching adventure.
The crew talk us thru the process of how to spot the whales...
she oso mentioned that the min length of the whale can be from here.................. to here and multiply by a 10000000000.
i dun think u all got what i mean so being a good friend..i will draw it out for u all...
here u go it is as illustrated below.















= = "

So everybody get the message...my my picture really mean a thousand word...
so for hours we sat sailing thru the windy breeze...
wait..i think i saw sumthing....
oh it only a boat....


one by one the island pass thru....














Still no sign of Mr whale....
Land Ahoy!!!
Well after a few hours of wind upon our face....


Land is near once again......all i get to see some stupid fin of a dolphin....
but I still have a great time out on sea...Disappointed though.
My friend say maybe all the whale went to church on that day = ="
pardon my friend..cos she a christian..but if you like u can oso say that the whales went to 天后宫for praying or the mosque...ahahaha

so guys...no pic of the evading whale...will try my luck next time.
take care

trip to sydney

Ok..finally some pictures from the land down under...
Went to sydney with my classmate, Annie on the 25th last month.
so these photos are so long over due.
^_^ V
Finally some picture for all my friends in malaysia...look I'm doing fine over here in Aus...Even gained some weight....no thanks to the cold weather...
However, if you are wondering who is the guy behind me that is looking at me with a 'what is she doing expression'....his name is: Perdestrian A.

The day start off with a 1 hour and 25 min train to sydney.


Well, it's quite a long journey...so you all can't blame us for occupying ourselves with the only entertainment on board.
On our last visit to the city
we mainly visited chinatown and the surrounding area. Never really able to reach the main shopping area of the city.Why?
Because there are alot of funny and cute shop in chinatown that is just too hard too resist...just imagine this isn't even the main shopping section of the city yet....
So the main aim for our day in Sydney this time was to be able to resist all the temptation of the surrounding and finally get to the Pitt Street mall.
And luckily for us...because it is a Friday ...there were alot of markets for us to browse and shop around....
Just imagine a pair of boots for only $20....mind you it wasn't those cheap stuff you can get in the pasar malam.... it actually look very nice. the only thing bad abt it is they dun have my size...
Is my feet too big or small..i will leave you guys to discuss over that.


And so we shop, walk and camwhore our way towards Pitt Street mall....
Sydney tower is the landmark to guide our way to our main dstination..Pitt street Mall.
On the way there we pass thru many restaurant..one of them is...

Full House!!!Honestly...there are so many korean restaurant..you would think that you finally reached korea....
Then finally pitt street mall.
We spent nearly half the day there walking thru all the shops...although all the things are super expensive...some of the shopping center are very nice.

guess how much this bag cost??
Hee hee...the shopkeeper is actually quite shock that we 'illegally' take photo of her product...hahaha

After Pitt street mall, We went into St Mary's Cathedral. They had their friday mass there..so all the light is on..so I can take this beautiful photo. Mind you they must have know that I'm coming that day so they decorated it specially to welcome me....wahahaha


Special thanks to the personnel in the Cathedral for this pic.

Anyway, the biggest accomplishment of the day is that we actually found some stores selling pirated DVD's...can u believe it!!! ok I know that is common in Pasar malam..but u have to remember I'm not in malaysia...
anyway..they have lots of taiwanese, japanese, and korwean drama on display....hee hee.
There is still more pic that I haven't post up..will show it to you guys when I'm back
Coming up..the whale watching trip.

Back from china

feels like a lifetime ago .......finally I'm back from China....overall it was a very intresting trip...the scenery in jiuzhaigou is amazing and I get to experience to type of seasons there....autumn and winter....and I finally got the chance to how white a mountain is when there is snow covering it and how beautiful is with different hue of colour covering the hills.....
the waterfalls and lakes in Jiuzhaigou is magnificent....it's really a heaven on earth....
however if you want to reach there you have to bear with some side effect from the trip up the mountain.....and the road up the mountain is horrifying!
but trust me the trip is worth all the pain that you are gonna get...because you get to see the magnificent view of mountain and high plane that is untouched by human.You can even see snow covered mountain along the way or hills that contained amazing waterfalls....
There are hill tribes living and sometimes if you are lucky you can even be the audience of their amazing singing......it's just like in the sound of music.....because their singing will be blown away by the wind.....you can listen to their singing even you are far away....
It's sad to think that eventhough China is progressing as I write.....there are still people who starve to death....the distribution of wealth in China is still far from being even.....the life is very tough...living through everyday is a big challenge for some...just imagine you can buy four orange with RM1!Imagine what they have to go through before they can the tree to bear fruit....some don't even own their own land, they rent it from the local gov...
