DAY 2!

Omgosh I. Am. So. Tired. But the cause of this tiredness is definitely worth it. Was supposed to wake up at 7 this morning but I OVERSLEPT by FORTY FIVE minutes. Rushed like mad and managed to meet the rest at the lobby at 8.30am before heading down to the train station to take a train down to Paramatta to take a shuttle bus to HILLSONG ON THE HILLS!

On the double-decker train..The boys.

They were HILARIOUS ok! Leonel was playing with that small window thingy and then Chris decided to open it for him and -wahlah- Leonel got whacked in the head by the window. AHAHAHA I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING OK!

At Paramatta station, we scouted for some breakfast. I bought HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE STRUDEL at some German bakery. Oh.My.Gosh. It was. SO GOOD. Plus a long macchiato that was so strong and yet so smooth. It was not too hot either. Finished it in minutes. Nice lah.

There was this cupcakes store where Pia stood outside, waiting for it to open. Once they opened, Pia was the first to rush in HAHA.
$2 for one cupcake. I think it's insane. But they looked cute lah.

The last Hillsong shuttle bus came but it was super packed and guess what! They immediately sent another shuttle bus down! Talk about love.

When we reached the church, it just brought back so much fond memories. A year.
I can still clearly remember where I sat a year ago. And how Jiahuei dragged a few of us all the way to the front just to take pictures with Jonathan Douglas when service ended =_=.

Hillsong bus! I so love it!

After alighting from the shuttle bus back to Paramatta train station, Eunice, Leonel, a few other UWA girls and I took the train to city central for Harry's Pie.

I got the curry pie with cheese sauce.

Ooomgooosh. It was just awesome. To top it all off, I went to Passion Flower to get sticky rice ice cream. It's just like eating pulut hitam with cream but frozen. Aaaaaahhhhhh......

We met up with the rest at Paddy's Market. Got some track pants for myself and nothing more. It felt like Fremantle mix Shanghai mix pasar malam in there. So I was out with the boys (Jim, Chris, Leonel) in no time.

While we were out, I saw this little kid feeding the seagulls.
DAMN CUTE LAH!

We decided to move on to Queen Victoria Building (QVB) but along the way, I managed to get my EasyWay bubble tea!
Double pearl. How AWESOME LAH!

Met the UWA girls on the way to QVB but as we were making our way there we somehow lost all the girls but Eunice. The boys went on their hunt for nice jackets while Eunice and I just walked around.

Bumped into Lynn, Karen and Yee Mei at Nine West. I managed to get a handbag! Originally $189, reduced to $89. Karen got the same one too. Next hunt: wallet.

Eunice went back while I was at Nine West. Lynn, Karen, Yee Mei and I continued shopping at Supre. I bougth SCARVES. New addiction. It's just amazing how I can still use them in Singapore where the malls are CRAZILY cold. Did I mention the Supre here has SEVEN STOREYS?! But only the first two levels were open because we went in when they were about to close.

Four of us went back to the apartment to put our shoppings down and lazed on the sofabed while watching the new Hillsong DVD; Faith+Hope+Love. Totally. Awesome. Took us a while to get our butts off the beds and onto the streets again for dinner.

Dinner was at Darling Harbour. We wanted to go Hurricane for ribs but we had to wait 1-1.5 hours for a place! So we walked on, wanted to go Pancakes on The Rocks (DH branch) but there was a queue. So we walked on again and decided on Waterfront Grill.

Nachos! Not bad lah. Wasn't fantastic though.

Lynn's greek salad with chicken. The chicken was SO GOOD. Tasty and tender.

Yee Mei and Veli's rib and rump. They were struggling to finish towards the end haha!

Karen and I shared a 300g sirloin steak (medium rare) with mashed potato. We chose the garlic butter with truffle-something sauce. The sauce was TREMENDOUSLY AWESOME!

The steak was tender....but would've been better if it was juicier. Karen only took 1/3 of the steak lah! I struggled to finish my larger part. Don't ask about the mash (which wasn't very good actually). We didn't manage to finish it.

After dinner, we walked over to Lindt Chocolate Cafe. I got a cup of hot dark chocolate. SO. FREAKING. WICKEDLY. AWESOME. Nice and smooth and aromatic and EVERYTHING NICE.

They had a wide display of cakes as well which I daren't touch 'cos I was so full. Ohoh!
And macaroons (which they call Delis I think). ICE CREAM TOO! But their ice creams didn't have much variety.

On our way back (where we got lost numerous times over just one bridge), Karen returned a DVD and rented another one. DID I MENTION HOW COOL THE RENTING MACHINE IS! It's just like a vending machine! Well, almost.

So it's a machine with a touch screen. You pick the DVD you want to rent/buy, swipe your credit/debit-master card, and the DVD comes out! You return the DVD into the machine itself too! It's dead cool. I swear.

So we watched Role Model. I didn't pay attention haha 'cos I was using my laptop talking to the mother. Now everyone's asleep except for me and my room mate. Which reminds me. I should take a picture of the apartment. Maybe tomorrow. =D
