and he's faster than ever! PacNet ADSL! yay~! took us quite a while to set up man! we gave up on the wireless set up for now.
anyway i'm back from sydney. last night the train ride was abit harrowing. a 19yo guy was celebrating his birthday on board the train with 2 of his friends in my cabin and they played sparklers. he was being friendly lah but annoying abit. a friend of his lost a round of scissors paper stone and came to tickle me. then he wanted to invite me over to join them at least twice. then i declined him politely and he backed off... reached sydney we kinda lost and since it was getting late + we're in unfamiliar territory we decided to hail a cab. damn exp! the short ride cost us $11.25! omfg their meter jump so fast de... abt 13 streets away leh. hotel intercontinental.
my cousin, karen, was on the fone when she opened the door for us. uh yeah apparently we can walk straight up to her door without anybody stopping us. so theoretically we stayed in the hotel for one night without paying anything. hehe... and so we slept. 3 ppl?! uh jason slept on the window ledge. which was rather alright i guess. and i slept on the bed with karen. so comfy! feather down pillows, comforter!!! but i woke up intermittently probably 4am 6am 8am 10am... we intended to wake at 11am.
so we got changed and met her colleague. 4 of us hit the street, took a bus to chinatown and dropped by this building Market City i think. lunch for today, dim sum! and it wasn't too bad lah. $77, avg $20+ per person lo... quite full. heh and we saw a table full of angmoh gays. they left and we saw another group of gays. this time they're chinese. but they definitely behave gay. not forgetting, one of the waiter(no he's not gay) who came around to serve us abit, speaks cantonese but doesn't look half a chinese. XD yes we evil. my cousin couldn't bring herself to place orders with him. HAHAHA...
then we finished eating and walked thru the shops. as typical females, the 2 ladies went around looking at clothes. my cuz shot down 2 shirts for her guy. omg $49 per shirt! next stop, the flea market down below. quite a lot of stuff. after walking in the aisles after aisles of little stalls, i found a little something for shan. hehe... dun say dun haf arh... it's the closest thing i saw that's similar to something u wish to have. XD happy birthday hor shan!
we finished walking that area and walk to find bus stop that has the bus we need to take back to hotel. it's not exactly nearby but the walk was ok. huge gusts of wind blowing occasionally kinda surprising at times. so we took the bus (oh the trip we paid for is AU$1.60 pax either way) and popped over to Circular Quay. bought some donuts, sandwiches n stuff for dinner. headed back to hotel to eat 'em. we hung around slacking watching tv and resting basically. and i took a warm water shower. uh yeah i haven't had that for a while now.
XD and we say goodbye to my cousin and left around 7. we missed the bloody bus by few minutes, waited for the next, was late for the 7.44pm train and had to get the 8.40pm ride instead. my ATM card is locked for another 24hrs(because i still can't remember the PIN after 3 tries) and it's getting ridiculous. by the time we reached north wollongong station, it was around 10.30pm. =_= drizzling somemore. we headed to woolworths to get some groceries (they close at midnight on weekends) and finally went home.
gaaah... still have to set up the network! must get broadband up and running! we tried the wireless but it was getting tedious and getting late. the wired approach was taken and the cables were laid with black tape on the floor. and by the time we're done, 3am. and voila, here i am. i'll post the pics in the morning or something. at least we're not on dialup anymore! it's so much faster now!!! V^_^
oh and i've gotten more shorts/clothings, few pairs of chopsticks, some reference books and a benq wireless mouse!
*sydney girls are slimmer than wollongong ones. but still not much of a looker*
