I seldom get the chance to talk to my friends and keep them up-to-date with what's going on with my life...
well, this is it. My online journal. Yah, another personal blog,just exactly what the world needs now. Let's be realistic, it's cheaper than overseas calls. Less tiring than novel-like emails.
About Me
Name: celgee Home: Philippines About Me: just read through my entries and you'll get to know me :) See my complete profile
Together with my cousins and nephews, we headed to Sydney last June 6. We arrived in NSW around 9am last June 7 (we took a charter bus from Melbourne to Sydney, thanks Ate Kathy for the treat!). We went to the city for lunch and had a quick look at the Opera House from the Circular Quay.
We headed back to my cousin's hotel to meet Yas and Al. Kuya Alex and I will be staying in at the Locnen Residence during our entire Sydney Vacay. :)
Day 1 - June 7 (with Yas, Al and Kuya Alex) - We went to the Featherdale Zoo where I got to see the koalas up-close and feed the kangaroos. - We had dinner at Hooters (love the chicken wings!!!)
Day 2 - June 8 (with Yas, Al and Kuya Alex) - We went to Katoomba to see the Blue Mountains and Rain Forest. We also got the ride the Katoomba Scenic Railway, which is the steepest incline railway in the world. (It's worth every cent!) - Around night time, we headed to the city and had a pictorial in the Macquarie St. which had a nice view of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. - We had a very satifying dinner at a Thai Restaurant and then went to the Lindt Cafe for dessert.
Day 3 - June 9 (with Kuya Alex, then Yas & Al joined us for dinner) - We went to the city and spent the whole day walking around. We visited the * Hyde Park * Macquarie St (again :)) * Royal Botanical Garden * Opera House * Chinatown * Darling Harbour * Maritime Museum * Queen Victoria Building - Yas and Al surprised me with a birthday cake, and we brought it to the Italian Restaurant where we had dinner. The waiter was very kind that he even offered to put it in the fridge while we had dinner. When he went out, he added 3 candles (no, I did not turn 30 yet... I just turned 28) and walked backwards so that I won't see the cake he was carrying.. It was kinda sweet. :) Anyway, the cake is perfect, it tastes bitter-sweet and light... Thanks again Yas and Al for the Tiramisu Cake from Cafe 85 Degrees.
Day 4 (with Yas and Kuya Alex) - SHOPPING DAY!!! We went to the Macquarie Shopping Center, DFO, Birkenpoint (I think.. I forgot the name of the place hehe) and QVB. - We had dinner at Ribs and Rumps.
Day 5 (with Kuya Alex) - We went to the city and had breakfast in Circular Quay. We stayed inside the Opera House (it was very cold and windy) and then headed to Chinatown for lunch. After lunch, we took the cab to the airport for our flight back to Melbourne. We arrived in Melbourne at 4:00pm and headed to Ate Kathy's place in Bayswater to get Kuya Alex's car. :)
