Travel Trilogy - Sydney; Arthur
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
I was so affected traumatised by the drama that i even dreamt abt it! And it was the biggest fight you could ever imagine. I woke up, heart pounding from all the shouting in that dream. Scarily weird as it may seems, I literally felt that i vented and let out all that i have inside... - in that dream.
Sydney was so much fun. Was in Syd a week for a business trip, took advantage of the trip there and explore Syd. Didnt have much time the last time i was there... This trip made it all up. Meet Arthur on my first day, spent the day with him, hence the title. You would have read abt him from my previous post, so here are all his pics. Professionally taken by Arthur:
Weather was brrreezing cold in Sydney! Fog was so thick that morning. Thankfully it cleared up later in the afternoon, we had great picture ahead! Arthur picked me up from the Hotel, we roamed the streets while swooping our kebahs for breakfast and takeaway coffee.
Walked all the way to the Opera House. Beautiful day; sunny and cooling.
Sitting by the sidewalks, people watching, enjoying the breeze, soaking in the sun, admiring the Opera House, waiting for Arthur while he figure out which lens to use... - that was the moment when everything in life seems to slow down a'lil...
Climbed up the Sydney Opera House, took more pics. The previous time in Sydney, i only saw the nightview of Opera House. And i must say... the dayview is so much better! (and brighter...)
Took a ferry to Manly Beach.
Seriously, i didnt even know there were so many pics of me. Was happily playing/running away from the crashing waves while the shutter went off. I actually like the pics! You gotta agree that my backview looks so much better...
Strolling along beach.
Sat by the cliff, legs dangling off the cliff, sound of the waves crashing onto the rocks.
Ferry back to town. Had dinner, went to Chinatown. Was so tired on the 1st day. Caught up with SG colleagues and some of the Australians for drinks.
I had a great time spending the day with Arthur. The Opera House looks absolutely amazing. Thanks to Arthur for all the awesome photos. These memorable pictures are now part of my desktop wallpaper and it looks damn good on my laptop i tell you. Thought i can share a couple of good pictures with you...
