Trip to Sydney - 1st day

So, after attending my bro's convo in Perth, we headed to Sydney on 14th of Sept. It's was an 4 days 3 nights trip. We bought the air ticket from perth. We flew there by budget airline which is Virgin Blue. The budget airline seat, is very uncomfortable but heck, it's cheaper than those normal airline. So no choice. Our flight was at 12.55am of 14th sept which is early morning of Sun. The flight took bout 4 hours but due to d time zone, we arrived in Sydney domestic airport at 6.55am i guess. So we took a train to Museum station and walked to our hotel/apartment. Museum Station

Wow!!! The apartment is 5-star!!! So well maintained and so nice!!!! You have everything you need. And it makes you feel at home. As our flight is a midnite flight, we didn't manage to slp well. So, we dozed off in d apartment around 7sth and woke up around 10 sth 11am.

Then, we headed to Sydney Fish Market which is only open on Sundays i guess. They have really fresh and big seafood over there. Really nice!!! There's lobsters, crabs, mussels and many other seafood there. We took our lunch there, had seafood platter and mussels.

Mussels and Lobsters

After that, we went back to Paddy Market, where we took d tram from to Fish Market. We went into the mall there for awhile.Paddy's Market

There's nth much to buy so we went to take another train to Circular Quay where we can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It was superb nice!!! Can you imagine the whole building's roof is made from tiles?? It's amazing!!!

Later, we went to look for a chinese restaurant that uncle don recommended but didn't manage to find it. So at last we jz simply had our dinner at a shop in China Town. The food was alright. Right after that, we headed back to our apartment and i fell into deep sleep. I was really exhausted that day. We walked alot and i didn't have enough slp. We have to wake up at 6 sth the next day as we'r joining local tours.

My bro's convo..

That's my bro with his uni name in d pics. University of Western Australia.

That's him, jz after shaking hand with the chancellor.

Him, holding his cert that costs alot!!!

So... finally.. after studying for 4 years... he finally graduated in bachelor of civil engineering.. we went over to perth on 6th of Sept to attend my bro's convo which is on 11th.. it's something i never been thru.. i dunno how excited he is.. but my parents are excited.. their baby son.. finally graduated.. lol. n d fees are heavy burden.. n d burden finally is done. I remember my dad very excited n funny.

My Family

Before taking any photos, he kept asking me, ' My hair messy not?' of course, in a joking manner. I dun think he's so vain. lol.

That's my bro again!!! He looks like a bear!!! hehe.

Something special bout his convo is their convo gown, the students have to rent by themselves n if you wanna rent d hat as well, it's extra $21!! what's d point rite? since everyone else wasn't wearing. Oh ya, another special thing is his convo is at night. I was surprised when i got to know this cuz in M'sia, our convos are all in d morning.

Winthrop Hall

D whole convo thingy was boring!!! I mean, i'm not involved rite, i'm not the students who'r graduating, of course i find it boring!!! But i love the hall. It's call Winthrop hall if i'm not mistaken. I alwiz remember it as sth like the harry potter's hall. haha. His uni is like those that we see in d tv series or movies, d classic type. D buildings are nice since it's ancient type. lol. We took some photograph around the uni and there's this photograph session by professional photographer. After that, the uni provided some light refreshment such as wines, fruits and sandwiches outside the hall. But when we went out, it was all gone. Wow!!! i guess those ppl must be very hungry as it was like 10pm. I was starving as well. So, my bro went to took some pics with his frenz then we headed home for Late Dinner at 11pm.
