Woke up at 7.30am (4.30am SG time) to prepare for work - must be punctual on my 1st day to the office, haha. Ordered the pancakes, sucks totally ~ concluded that room service food sucks!
View from my room, the clock tower reminds me of "Hunchback of Notre Dame"
I adore the lift, its full of mirrors that guests can do last min check before meeting their clients in the lobby.
Reached office punctually at 9am (6am SG time, I am still in dreamland). Pretty small office and I wasn't used to it, but its cosy and everyone seems to know everyone.
Jamie took me out for some sight-seeing, since its my 1st visit there - we walked to the Harbour Bridge, oh, it looks so majestic! How I wish I got the time to climb to the top.
Next stop: Sydney Opera House ~ Woohoo ....
I didn't walk into the Opera House to take a look, no time no time....I will remember to do so next time I am in Sydney. That's the view from the walk along Opera House ~ clear robin blue sky with fluffy clouds and the sea breeze.
We had thin crust pizza at the restaurant - I ordered seafood while Jamie ordered the spicy chicken (i think). Not that bad, but there's still room for improvement.
Did some shopping at Coles Supermart after work. Bought some snacks - Tim Tams and chocolates!
It was still early, so I ventured out on my own. Walked to Supre (and surprisingly, its still open at 6pm) but came out empty-handed. Still think that they have more variety online that in stores.
Walked over to Darling Harbour- which is the "buzz" place , as recommended by my colleague.
That's the monorail station, something like our LRT - but I didn't have a chance to ride on it.
The tracks are like just a few meters above the ground, so when the train comes, you can actually see it in full glory above your head.
Walking on the bridge, its only 6pm Sydney time, but you can see a lot of people getting off from work.
Harbourside Shopping Centre - didn't have the time to go inside for a walk and I presume that most of the shops would have closed by 5pm.
On the other side of the bridge is the Australian National Maritime Museum, you can see the ships on exhibit (i think)
The icon in front of the museum, so you will recognise it at first glance.
Cockle Bay Wharf - home to some of the city's best restaurants and night-spots. Cockle Bay Wharf has a fantastic position on the Eastern side of Darling Harbour, with fantastic harbour views and fresh breeze off the water, and it glitters with the lights of Sydney.
The trouble with going on business trip alone is that you cant have nice pictures taken, haiz :(
Had my dinner at Nick's restaurant (as recommended by Jamie). Of cuz must eat seafood rite, if not, I will be letting myself down. (Leecher must be kicking himself in the ass now, cuz he can't enjoy the food, can only look at the pictures and drool, TOO BAD)
First up - Cockle Bay cocktail to rejuvenate myself after a long day @ work
Grilled Tiger Prawns ~ heavenly! The prawns are so juicy and fresh!
It's kind of lonely to eat dinner alone - can only sit and look at other people talk, quite sian. Decided to take a little walk after dinner ~ Cockle Bay Wharf is full of people at night, just like Boat Quay/Clarke Quay.
Night -shots of the harbour - it's kind of relaxing just sitting down at the chairs beside the harbour and enjoying the breeze.
Walked past 2 shopping complex - Queen Victoria Building & Sydney Central Unfortunately, no time to go in and shop , :(
That wrapped up my first eventful day in Syndey, more up on 2nd day.

Is it because of Blamer's blogging skills or is it because of my ever expanding tummy that is attracting the readership...? Anyway, thank you all for viewing our blog!!!
