Bus from Sydney to Adelaide 26/12

We took the bus from sydney to adelaide, a 23 hours bus ride. Chi yenn didn't enjoy it coz there was an Indian gal on the bus and most of the time she was talking loudly on the phone or playing indian music on the phone with the loudspeaker. So Chi yenn was really annoyed at her. As for me.... i slept through coz I'm a PIG.

SYDNEY! 15/12-26/12

SYDNEY!!! We stayed at Florence and Brent's place. They were a real blessing to us. Took us around shopping, eating, hillsongs, and sight-seeing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! How did i repay them for their kindness? Introduce them to CHI YEN!!! :) It was the first time brent met Chi yenn. She showered him with lots of laughter, but lots of anger too... his friends never saw him angry before, but during this trip, Chi yenn brought out the anger and frustration in him. You'll find out later.
They organized a christmas party at their house and flo cooked turkey, roast pork. YUmmmy!! Played pictionary and exchanged gifts.

Visited Hillsong church at Castle Hill, the place I used to live when i was 5. My family also went to Hillsongs when it just started. Was looking at a published book of the early years of Hillsong church and i saw a group picture of the ppl in church that time and could pick out norman, my mom, dad and me in the picture. Ppl didn't believe it but it was soo us. Anyway, we went fo the Christmas play which was awesome. It was a musical, the acting, music and voices were amazing! They even had farm animals in the play too.
The delicious food we had in sydney, HUGE plate of spare ribs, dim sum, pancakes, SEAFOOD, ice cream, korean, vietnamese, char kuey teow, English tea, lobster.... yUmmmmMMmy
The Taronga Zoo... liked I promised Chi yenn i would go with her. I didn't take much pictures of the animals, so i took pictures of chi yenn as the 'animal' instead. U can see chi yenn in the middle 2 pictures of me feeding her. :P

sydney continuation

We went to the blue mountains for a 2 days, 1 night trip. The wrong day to sight see the blue mountains. The day we arrived was the day the whole place fogged up. We could barely see the road, let alone the person in front of us. We visited the 3 sisters but couldn't see anything. The next day was sunny and clear. THANK GOD. We went to the caves and visited one cave only. Should have visited more.
AH.... the famous George St.... not famous among sydney ppl, but famous among chi, me, flo and brent. The day CHI YENN got LOST! what happened? Well..... where should i start? As most of you would know by now, chi yenn LOVES to take pictures... not of herself but of nature, food, and random stuff (like deflated balloon in lifts). So in the heart of sydney there was a REAL christmas tree and chi yenn wanted to take a picture of it. We were driving, going to an Irish pub along George Street, at the rocks. Since the beginning of the day, all of us planned our day, talked loudly knew wat were were doing, and where we were going. But CHI YENN.... was day dreaming the whole day and didn't listen to the plan. So we were driving along george st and stopped at the traffic lights along george and martin st. Then Brent said...'OH... that's the real christmas tree on martin st, just on your right.' Chi yenn was soooooo excited, she asked brent to park the car in the middle of the main road which had NO STOPPING signs, so she could take a picture. BUT... as chi yenn haven't drive before in Aust wouldn't know the law of the road that well. She does know but when she's in the zone...nothing matters as long as she gets that picture, anything goes (even breaking the law). So Florence suggested, y don't you go and take the picture and walk straight (which is along george street to meet us at the pub). CHI YENN wasn't looking at her hands of what straight is, she thought walk straight along martin street so we would u-turn and meet her the other side. So chi yenn was so excited she jumped out of the car without her bag (so NO mobile and money) to take her picture. As she was jumping out of the car, i was shouting at her 'HEY!! YOUR BAG. You forgot your bag!!' But she didn't listen to me. So we thought she know that she had to walk straight along george st. So were that worried. We parked the car and i took her phone with me coz we thought if she was smart she would call her mobile to know where we were. We arrived at the pub, ordered and i walked half way along george street to wait for her. Waited 15 min and thought to myself, she should be here already but she didn't arrive. so walked back to the pub and all of us were worried. The food arrived and we ate. I was still waiting to hear the phone ring but nothing. After that we waited at george st and no sign of her. we were very worried by now coz it was dark and who knows wat might happen. Then brent decided to walk to the tree and me and flo go back to the car and drive to the tree. Then at the car, i got a call on my phone from CHI YENN's MOTHER!! Saying, chi asked for my number and she's lost! PLs take care of each other. ARGGHh..... like got scolding from her mother.. wasn't a scold but contents like one. so i got her phone out and there was a miss call. GUESS WAT?? CHI YENN puts her phone on SILENT!!!! so that's y no ring from her mobile. Who puts their phone on silent? for the guys its ok coz u can feel it vibrate in ur pants, but for gals in their handbags, its not easy to feel the vibration. Then chi called and we found her, she was at the hotel at martin place. when we got her, ALL of us were scolding her. BRENT was FURIOUS!!! Chi yenn said, first rule in boy/gal scout if u got lost, stay at the place when u were last seen. Me, flo and brent didn't know that and plus brent went to the tree but she wasn't there, she was at the hotel by the tree. So wat chi yenn learnt that day? To ON your ring tone (which she still hasn't leant since today), LISTEN to instructions, and NEVER leave without your bag (which has your money and mobile). during those house of being lost, chi was finding it hard to get money to call her phone. so she had to reverse call back to kl to get my mobile number. Well.... I still love chi yenn despite the headaches and stress i got worrying bout her. :)
We went on the jet ski along darling harbour. that was soooo cool, adrenalin rush! it was drizzling that day too. :)
