Melbourne & Sydney

After a hectic months of work, it's time for a break.
Went to the Aussieland for a holiday with my mum, dad and sis.
It was a free and easy trip. Our first stop was Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria via MAS.
It is always good to fly via standard airline than those low-cost airline (well, sometimes :P). I don't understand why other airlines are making profit but MAS was said to make a loss? Their flights are not cheap but the seats are pretty much occupied though. The in-flight meals are good too.

It was end of autumn; turning to winter. It was pretty cold when we arrived. The weather was about 9-15 degree celcius in Melbourne.

 The maple leaves..covering the whole garden. Lovely view..breezy weather..

 It was great to meet up with a long lost friend , Victor, from where I've once studied, University of Southern Queensland. Although it was a short meet up but I was brought to a pretty special local coffee shop
 to have a sip of hot chocolate in the cold. Wondering around the Melbourne city within 2 hours. lol

 A day trip to the kangaroo farm and the Phillip Island Penguins and wildlife park in Melboune. You get to feed the kangaroos. Watch the little blue penguins swimming their way home and tapping their way back to their nests. Very cute!

Manly and Northern beaches. Very clean...people surfing

Bid farewell to Melbourne and we departed to Sydney via Virgin arilines. Not much difference with our Air Asia (AA) but at least they provide snacks and drinks. Not like AA where you have to pay for it. Meet up with Chee, our cousin who was there too!

Thanks to Chee who brought us to the Fish market in Darlington Harbour for the fresh seafood! We had fresh oysters, abalone, lobsters, squids, crab and more...all FRESH!!! YUMMY!

There was light festival in Sydney during our visit. Colourful ion lights light up each corner of the city and the effects of arts on the buildings. Pretty nice!


In Sdyney Harbour, we stroll along the shopping area..nice to see but it seems like things there are just far too expensive even you don't convert. If you ask me, I rather / still prefer shopping in Newcastle/London. Aww..i still miss the UK but it was a wonderful trip with family...
