I was just fine without you.

Sky is blue-r on the other side.


My 3rd trip this year. If not for too many AL rolled over from 2010, I would not have been travelling non-stop, and getting addicted to it. Slotted leave in July for you-know-who. But of course by this time, I had to be planning a trip without him already. I was torn between a family trip to Taiwan, or Australia to/with Sham. I chose the latter because the family couldn't confirm the trip with me. So it was to down under to look for already-there-ten-days-before-me Sham & Jack. A nine days trip to Brisbane, and I slotted in 2 nights at FSH Sydney - thanks to Scott for the nights!

One week in Brisbane, it was more like a student life since I crashed at Sham & Jack's new apartment. Was running around with the boys getting new furniture and grocery daily. It was kind of interesting to be "living" in the suburb. Nothing much to do everyday, nothing much to think everyday. Along the Brisbane river I found a little corner which eventually became my favourite spot. I really liked the days I went out on walks alone, especially the chilly weather made it more fun and relaxing.

3 days 2 night in Sydney. To be exact I only had 48 hours to explore the city. Besides the hiccup at the airport which I missed my flight from Brisbane to Sydney, everything else was AMAZING. Of course, the stay at Four Seasons was marvelous! I felt so much like home and the people are just great. Not to mention, I met Scott in the hotel after almost 3 years. Great time catching up over coffee. Unfortunately it was raining when I arrived at the city and had a hard time going around. And I was also not feeling too well - already down with cold, headache and toothache.. That didn't really spoil my plans (it almost!) and I went to Sydney Opera House, Manly Wharf, shopping at George St onwards and some sightseeing. Time at Sydney was just splendid! Totally loved the place :)

Never would I think of, one day I would visit Australia. Since young, I wasn't too interested in the country but today I even ventured around on my own. It was great fun and I would want to be back there again..

Missing Aussie and missing my bro already..

See you in December bro.
