In the morning of Tuesday, 2 Jan 2007, I was inspired (actually... more irritated...) with my Sydney friend's unending love for his Japanese idol, Ryoko Hirosue, so i decided to pick a young lady from a neighbour of Japan, Korea, as my new infatuation! I picked Hyori Lee... Little did i know tat i was setting myself up for the greatest discovery of all time! That afternoon, the the gang (Nesa, Shawn, Seng, Khairil, Norzie, Shiela & Myself) decided to head down to the city central for a little sight seeing & a buffet dinner at Star City, the Sydney casino... And as usual we had to endure a tedious 1 hr bus ride to the city from the subrub we reside in.

Im gonna call them every day & ask if i got it! =) --------------------------- koko' In Melbourne I arrived alone in Melbourne to find this city as warm as the previous Australian cities i was in... but there was a twist... Melbourne was more windy & breezy that the others... The wind had some resemblance to those in Wellington but gentler & more refreshing; complimenting the warm weather... beautiful, isnt it? There are no theme parks... ntg to pump ur blood... but there is architecture of beauty & creativity... for the gentle soothing of thy soul...   Melbourne

Now that I'm back in windy Wellington, i hav to sort out some things here, like getting a place to live in, but i somehow got some extra time to write about my Sydney trip! Therefore, you Sydney guys can stop pestering me now... =) --------------------------- The Capital of Australia! Coming from Brisbane, my companions & I knew wad to expect... WARM WEATHER & GOOD TIMES!!! We came wif great expectiations & we were in for a treat! =) Sydney from the air...
