    Sydney Ahoy!!

    G'day peepz!!! I'm at an internet cafe now.. surfing and checking my results and all that... in the meantime squeezing in this blog post with the few minutes that I have remaining... the past few days have been absolutely leg-achingly fantastic!! hahaha.. and I've spent heaps as well... mostly on FOOD...

    Day 1: Arrived at the backpackers... pretty rundown and shabby looking, looks pretty dodgy, but then again, for $20/night you can't expect very much. At least there's a bed to sleep in and a roof over your head, and free tea and coffee... hehehe.. Did a walk down in the area and had this really yummy pad thai (AUTHENTIC OK!) at a thai restaurant nearby.. that was so shiok!!! so much better than brissie's asian food...

    Day 2: Took a shopping trip down to darling harbour, along the way stopped by Paddy Markets near Chinatown.. really bargain hunting man!! t-shirts for $10, etc etc etc.. i bought for myself another pair of shoes.. white and black.. $40!! hahaha.. and darling harbour is really nice! walked till my feet hurt...

    Day 3: Went on a tour to Nelson Bay and Port Stephens... We went sand boarding!! its so cool.. though we weren't allowed to do stunts and all that.. but its very nice.. almost like a desert, though only a small plot.. then went dolphin watching! its so nice!! i envy how carefree they are and fun-loving.. no stress, just enjoying themselves, its so relaxing just watching them! and they're pretty cute too.. =) We came back all tired out..

    Day 4: Walked up to the Sydney Opera House!!! Yes we walked up.. its about a 20min slow walk up.. through the Royal Botanic Gardens and past the Government House and all that... its so nice.. photos galore man.. and we also managed to catch a show there!!! woohoo!!! i watched something at the opera house! sounds so much better than "I watched a show at the Esplanade." hahahaha!! again walked until our feet were aching really bad.. all in the name of HOLIDAY!!

    Day 5: We visited Hillsong Church in the city this morning! thanks to Joshua's friend who brought us there. A pity that it wasn't the one at the Hillsong Convention Centre but it was still really very awesome.. I was amazed by the drummer cos he looks like he's 40+ but he's drumming is still fantastically tight and they have to dress young and cool and all that!! hahahaha.. but it was an awesome service.. headed back to Chinatown where we found this really fantastic food court with absolutely MOUTH-WATERING asian food.. and its cheap!! so we're practically eating there just about every meal.. =P

    Well, the conference officially starts tomorrow so its exciting man!!! can't wait!! hahaha.. ok time's run out.. got to go already.. will try and get posts in as and when I can, earliest should be just after the conference I would think.. kekeke.. =) woohoo!!!
