Sydney, Sydney ~ Pylon Lookout

Can't afford of climb the Harbour Bridge?? hehe

Just go to the Pylon Lookout!!

Of course there's the down side: You have to climb 200 stairs up to the lookout area!! For unfit people like me, it was...trying >.<>

Awesome views of the city center and Opera House

*see the Harbour bridge really really close....and even the people climbing it!!*


87 meters above sea level!!

Best time to go??

*Playing games with the setting sun*

It doesnt open early enough to catch the sunrise, but I was told that if you go just before it closes, then you can catch the sunset ~ which made the experience ALOT better!! haha also extra bonus: nice lady only charged us for one person, since it was late and there wasnt much time left!! =)

Bad Hair Weekend

GOODBYE my dear bautiful fake long hair!

*The last pics of my beautiful fake long hair...*


You may have had a short life...but you have served me well! I'm so sad to say farewell, at last...


*Bautiful fake long hair in bin! lol That's how much fake hair that was attached to my head!! hmm...Actually looks kind of gross now!*

Thank you for making me feel pretty! I can assure you that you will be sorely missed!

*Me and my mediocre-looking real short hair*

FINALLY decided to take my extensions off after a long 3months! So now I'm back to my short hair! And as you can see from the photos, my fringe was so long that I got so sick and bothered by it....just before I left for work on saturday, I cut it!! MYSELF!! with a NORMAL scissors!! And this led to great regrets...blah! Thus, I spent a miserable weekend at work, serving customers, with my really really bad hair

I'm really glad I got hair extensions because I finally got to know how having long hair really feels like. AND IT FEELS FREAKING GOOD!! Eventhough it looked really fake (because me hair was TOO healthy looking *apparently* and the fake hair was so dead looking..not matching at all!), it still feel good to have long hair! And I have to say, I felt prettier and sexier with long hair!

Jordan's Seafood

honestly....I wouldnt pay to go there again...

*entree: oysters -- $33/dozen-- price was OK but damn! they were so small! we had to share between 4 people so that...3 oysters each...which was literally 3 gulps of...something...couldnt taste it*



*Mains: Snapper Fillet, Seafood pasta, Salmon Fillet and Steak - ave $30/main-- hmm what can I say? Portions were not very big, the plates were quite bare (i.e. no sides) and not tasty*

*Desert: Jordan's Encore--$29-- practically saved the meal! We couldnt decide on the dessert so we picked the one that had a bit of everything! Highly recommend the Creme Brulee and Tiramisu!* =)

No idea what the hype over Jordan's Seafood is all about! Its pricey for the food we ate! I could pay half that price and be ten times more satisfied at any other restaurant! Admittedly, we didnt have their signature Seafood Platter, but I was still expecting abit more than that. Well thank god we knew about the offer *buy one main get one free!!* and thank god we were Myer card holders! ^^

Yeah there's this really good website that tell you all about different promotions going on around Australia and also any sales, bargains etc and not just food! got to: ozbargain.com.au

Osakaaa aka Underground Japan

Or so some people say...and I completely agree! =)

*Kita-tanabe: the station we called HOME*

*the only tourist-y thing we did...visit the osaka tower, and we didnt even go up!! it was 600yen, and we were tight! also the "God-Of-All-Things-As-They-Are-Meant-To-Be" XD*

-- randomly with a normal sorft serve and a GIANT soft serve XXD I have a thing with giant things *winks*

From making our own takoyaki to *kinda* making our own okonomiyaki!



*behold the Tea-Monsta!! from 0 water-a-day to 1Litre of tea-a-day!!*

...Tokyo Tokyo... =)

Didnt take many photos around Tokyo coz we weren't there for very long. This was in front of the Omote-sando Hills...a very rich area 0.o This was just off Harajuku Lane, which I didnt find very special at all. Don't know what the hype is all about..hmmpphh

Perhaps the most memorable of all Tokyo (other than shopping at Shibuya 109 on the FIRST day of sales!!) was...Kabuki-CHO! had awesome Ramen at this place...

*LOOK AT THAT LINE!! from all the china tourists!*

And also....UFO catchers!!

*heart* Kabucki-cho!

Our Prized Collectionss frm KabukiCHO...takes alot of skills OK?

We even caught a live fugu *blowfish* for Jess, but it scared her so we gave him away. His name was...JAC-chan! ---> stands for Joycie Ann Crystal...coz we caught it! =)

hmm more on Osaka lateerrr! =)

Because I love to eat…

So I’m dedicating a whole entry to ALL the food I ate in Japan!!! My friends and I always used to say that we’re eating fake takoyaki, fake ramen, fake sushi etc etc since it was'nt really 'authentic'.
