“you gotta get out of ur country to start loving it” says auntie yen (my godmom)
I find it quite true, but then still I’ve not come to a point where I start missing Negaraku n Jalur Gemilang. Not yet…
I’ve done so many things, seen so many sites, tasted so many foods, experienced all sorts of feelings… hard to blog everything out, but I’ll try.
Left the land of roti canais n rendangs, n took off to the land of flies n wine on the 6th of feb. my best boobie, shua, came to send me off. Together with auntie Esther n pei yi (hmmm, conclusion- all HELP students like to ponteng, haha, jkjk)

The flight was good, had a mini screen in front of me(watched zoro2 n Elizabethtown all the way to aus), nice vodka lime served n chun toilets that big bird has. I had a glimpse of s’pore airport. It was soooo nice. had the sky train from one terminal to another, Free movie screenings, nice smoking area, really good services…. Msia shud follow, at least the free movie part.

And so—I touched down to Sydney at about 6 something aussie time, n 3 something msian time. It was belaaadie cold! N I kept reminding myself it was summer… anyhow, met up with our tour guide for the whole Sydney stay- uncle sam, n he took us to our hotel – Avillion Sydney!! No, this don’t go on stilts like the one in pd does. Its rite in the heart of a very bz metropolitan city where no one cares who or wat u r. we had a nice suite room, complimentary from uncle Joseph skipps (my dad’s ex box) he’s a really nice man, knew him well when he was in msia. Now he’s GM of Av, syd. The hotel was really classy. I love it! Only one thing I dun like… I’ve to get up every morning, n place my naked butt on this cold, n huge toilet bowl n its so high, I cant touch the floor after sitting on it… haih… aussie stuff…
We slept till noon, had a good look around the city, walked thru china town, Vietnam town, Thailand street… truly asia… which was something I didn’t come here for. The guai lohs were so few, I cud count them on the streets! It was like petaling street but a little more organized and cold… oh ya, we had lunch there, n I ordered wan tan mee (I think the lady mistakenly heard that I ordered two ton mee—it was soooo huge!!! Like, ‘wan tan min dai dai dai’)
We also strolled down to Paddy’s market. I tell u… the buildings here look so dull n boring from the outside, but once u enter it, its like a whole new world with bright lights n darn good entertainment!
At nite, we had a super luxurious dinner in the hotel’s restaurant, called the Avery’s. I had veal

meat with fresh shrimp and asparagus. Ooolala~~~ I was deeeelicious!
At nite, dad wanted a drink, so I went down with him to the streets to find beer (cheaper to drink that way than in a pub). But…. We cant find ANY alchohol drinks in ANY convenient shop. None. Had to find a liquor shop/bottle shop, to get 2 cans of beer. Funny rite?
Anyways, that was my 1st day in Sydney, more to come in my next post.
