Sydney

Sydney...will be one visit i will rmbr for a long long time....

I flew to Sydney on my birthday....early morning, 6.15am flight with mom. Was kinda excited till i could hardly sleep. Slept for like about an hour plus and then had to get up to get ready. I have to say i was kinda moody then. Not a morning person i guess and the lack of sleep certainly ain't helping at all.

Was a little agitated till i reached Sydney.

Once arrived, mom's fren picked us up from the airport and went straight back to Uncle Ban's place. Settled down and off we go to the city for Yum Cha. Apparently i have the same birthday as Uncle Ban. So double celebration again. The Yum Cha is good...so much better than the ones in Melbourne.

Then went around the city...went to Darling Harbour...and then my granduncle insist he wants to go to the casino. So we all went. And again, i was stopped by the stupid security. Hai~!!! Then mom played the slot machines...and there was this one machine that is called "Pigs Can Fly." She purposely chose that machine to play cos it's the pig's birthday. Made me stand with her and press the buttons as well. She said the pig's birthday so should bring some luck. True enough, we won $25. Not too bad. Haha...the pig really flew....

After that, went for another dinner celebration, again paid by my uncle. We had dinner in chinatown. Food?? Not too bad...Dessert??? Superb...

Then head back home and on the way, met up with my cousin bro, Andrew. He just finished work and went home for a bath. So he didn't join us for dinner. Instead we tapao some food for him so all of us head home and he then ate the dinner.

Later, he brought me out for some supper and he is not full enough. Had some waffles and pancakes with ice-cream. Had a little chat or two....then went korean grocery shopping...and head back home.

That was pretty much what i did on my birthday. There wasn't anything wild but the idea of being in Sydney was just fantastic. And mom has paid for my flights, my trips to Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island in Victoria. I just cant ask for more. I told her that my best gift is just having her around here with me on my birthday or i would have felt really lonely.

What more could i ask for???
