Bye Sydney ...

Last day spent in Sydney, woke up at 9am from my beauty sleep :) Showered and packed for the 8 hrs journey home ~ Yeah, i am really missing my bed (notice that its not Leecher, haha)

Once again, I couldn't make it for the A380 flight, arg, hate the awkward timing! Check-out from the hotel and realised that my room costs a freaking $1.85K SGD for just 3 nights stay - wow, thinking of the points that I will chalk up in my CC bills. (Leecher keeps wanting to leech on my points to redeem "presents" for himself...)

Arrived at Sydney Terminal 1 - looks quite deserted on a Wednesday afternoon.

DFS - looking for gate 52 ...

That's my flight back to sunny Singapore, no A380 - sob sob :(

My usual picture -taking routine on the seat - I heart window seats

As usual, started my chiong-ing of movies, caught 3 movies on flight. Beowulf - not that bad, but it gets boring after a while. Angelina Jolie is hot, though its not her in person :(

Pausing for a break in-b/w my movies, must rest my poor eyes. A must-take cloud picture. I always wanted to take a heart-shaped cloud, but (haiz)

Nice bar-top dances, plus the song "Can't fight the moonlight". I think this movie was released in Yr 2000, but I only managed to catch it 8 yrs after, haha. Brings back fond memories of the time when I was in Sec X (not going to reveal my age here, haha)

Ratatouille - love this movie. Remy is so cute ! Watching this movie makes me kinda hungry, but not to worry, for I am well-fed on board :)

Chicken meal - I think SQ rice tastes pretty decent, but I can't say much for the salad/vegetables.

Refreshment - mee goreng. Super spicy, but it's delicious. I swear that I almost want to lick the plate clean.
I know that whenever I see ships, I am near SG. (Sings: this is home, truely, where I know I must be. wait - I should wait till its near NDP for this, wa ha ha)

Finally, arrival at T3!

Out from the gates ...

Gosh, feels so good to be home after 8 hrs of flight :)

Our Love Nest ~ in 2012

26th March 2008 marked the day whereby we made the decision to ................

put our names in the HDB appointment form - therefore sealing our fate for the rest of our lives ~ sob sob (when want to zao sai also must consider, a lot of money is at stake here, hahaaa)

Here's our love nest that is expected to be completed in Yr 2012 - Punggol Vista

Opted for the 4-room flat - since we're too used to staying in 4-room. Poor me, was so used to living in the West - but in future, I will be staying in the North-east side. I used to think NE side is some ulu place, cuz it seems to be sooooooooooo far from the West.

Floor plan - we're located at the 12th floor, haha. (Leecher wanted to choose the 13th floor, but I refused. I am not that superstitious, but I don't feel that comfortable staying on 13th floor) Not going to reveal the blk and house unit - later Leecher strike 4D den the whole world will know, wa ha ha ha.

Leecher bought me a stalk of red rose on that day - must be his attempt to coax me into signing the letter with him, haha.

We were pretty early, so went to the hawker center to have our lunch - chicken rice + dumplings

After a satisfying lunch, we went to the HDB Hub to wait for our turn.

Looking at the TV screen for our number to be displayed....

Our last "happy" picture before going into the room to seal our fate .... :)

When we were in the room, the Admin officer posted a question to us:

Her (Looking at Leecher) : So are you guys married or single?
Leecher (Pretending to look away) remained silent for like 5 seconds.
** WTF **
Me: We're going to be married.

Leecher definitely got something from me when we stepped out of the room. Wa Ha Ha

The huge noticeboard that was put up at the site of our love nest

The plot of land that will house our love nest in 4 yrs time .....

Can't wait ~ will post more pics as the place gets developed further.

Simple Meal with Blamer

Wow it is a long time since I last blogged, and Blamer has been Kao Pei-ing non stop, heh heh. So I decided to blog abt our little dinner at mac.

It's been a while since I last had Mac, and since I had been expanding horizontally for the past few months, decided against my fav Mc'spicy and opted for the healthier Chicken Foldover. skipped the fries for cup corn, and even changed the drink from coke to hot tea! Niack Niack, healthy rite.

Me with my HEALTHY cup corn

Blamer with her unhealthy Mc'Spicy and Fries. Notice my HEALTHY chicken foldover by the side.

It's just a simply dinner but just felt very fortunate to have Blamer with me. Hee...

Men ...

Been with Leecher for 27 months, but sometimes, he nv fails to surprise me with his &^^%&%*&$ (not sure what is the correct phrase, so you can go and fill in the blank)

Incident 1 (on MSN)

Leecher: dear, your posts getting boring leh.
Me: den you blog lo
Leecher: but all the pictures with you, I cannot blog
Me: I can send you the pictures, so you can blog
Leecher: don't want lah, u blog better
Me: I thought u just said that my posts are getting boring?
Leecher: ......

Incident 2 (on phone)

Leecher: I want to kun already, v tired, tml still need to wake up early for work.
Me: ok, bye
Leecher: bye
(me put down the phone and switched off the lights)

3 seconds later, my hp rang - Leecher's house number displayed

Leecher: dear, you 变了
Me: huh? what you mean?
Leecher: You will always say "我要挂电话了"before you hang up, but tonight u nv say ...
Me: I thought you say you want to sleep already, so I saved you the effort of answering one question, so that you can sleep earlier ma.
Leecher: ok lo
Me: so, you want me to ask you?
Leecher: can can
Me: 我要挂电话了, ok?
Leecher: (finally appeased) ok, good night!
Me: good night. ^__^

Haiz ....

Footprints in Sydney - Sydney Tower

Jamie took me to Sydney Tower Restaurant for lunch - it's a revolving restaurant and the ideal location to enjoy all Sydney has to offer from over three-hundred metres above the city centre – spanning its gorgeous harbour across to the blue mountains

*Leecher is so going to kick himself in the ass when he sees this post - Buffet with lots of food *
The salad bar - which I only walked over to take pictures, not really a fan of greens. Think Leecher would love this, since he has been eating greens recently in a weak attempt to diet. (He always ends up eating more when he is on his so-called diet, haha)

That's Jamie and me :)

All kinds of bread, but funny I don't see any soup around ...

Starters ~ seafood galore!

The oysters are so fresh - seriously, I think they're better than the ones that I ate at Morton's

Prawns - I happen to eat around 3/4 of this plate, haha.

Meat section with some Asian fare

I think the chicken wings + samosa (hidden below) are not bad ~

Beef, lamb and Kangaroo's meat - tried a small piece, very chewy but I don't think I will want a 2nd round ...

Dessert Bar - there's always room for dessert in my stomach though I was already full to the brim ...

Not a fan of puffs, but the strawberry-filled puffs taste pretty decent.

Definitely must take picture in the restaurant ~ nice view right?

To Leecher - a picture for you to compensate for not being there, wa ha ha...

Returned back to the office when I stumbled upon ....

OMG, all just 2 streets from my office, arg! I wanna move to Sydney ~

Went to buy chocolates for Leecher and family ~ purposely bought the Easter egg for Leecher to munch on.

Self-check at the hotel before leaving for my dinner, haha ....

Decided to walk over to the Harbour Bridge again to see it in the night - looking magnificent in the background

The Opera House at night - I still prefer it in the day time ~

Stopped for dinner at the restaurant along the river - my last chance at eating seafood - ordered scallops. OMG, its super juicy and grilled to perfection with cheese. I am still mesmerised by the taste of this as I am typing this out ~

Salmon - pales in comparison with the scallops but still pretty delicious.

That pretty much wrapped up my short stay in Sydney - would definitely want to go back again, maybe with Leecher :) *hint hint to Leecher, wa ha ha*
