Heyyyooo guys!

I've just finished my exam today and I'm in a particularly good mood.

Only one more to go, ohyeaaaaa *smug grin*

Aight, here's another sequel – the 7th blogisode – for my Sydney trip!

Taken along some wharf area 🙂

So being a typical tourist, I was seen with enthusiasm plastered on my face and lugging around my camera.

Just as I pointed my shooter to this buggy-wuggy looking train, the driver grinned, waved…

and shouted "HEY!!" to me 😀

We kept walking and walking; it was nice to feel the cool breeze against my skin.

Best part was, it was evening by the time we got there.

Yay! For the sun was just beginning to set 😀 😀

The sunset was too pretty to miss!

So I took a moment to sit by the waters and yeah, started shooting away

Leaning back : just a random piccie of my Converse

As we kept walking, I realized we've finally reached the huge bridge of Darling Harbour!

It's really up high and we took an escalator up.

It was an excellent view along the entire bridge – admiring the city skyline

With couzzie Bernice atop the bridge!

It's a reaaallllyyyyyy long bridge across the sea.

But long walks can really be a pleasant experience, especially if you have a picturesque scenery like this!

Stopped to take so many pictures!

You can see puddles on the pathway, remember when I told you it was really cloudy leading up to a wet weather in the afternoon whilst I was at the Sydney Opera House?

Yeah. I'm glad the rain cleared up now, making way for the peeking rays of the sun!

OMG OMG did you notice the rainbow in the background? 😀 😀

I never spotted it until I saw this photo

Various office buildings along the crystal clear waters

I had an odd sense of deja vu whilst walking along this route.

It somehow reminded me of a certain spot I walked past in Clarke Quay, Singapore. It looks almost similar!

When we were finally done with the breathtaking view, we adjourned for dinner.

But before that, I came across this strange fountain-like thingy and the first thing that came to my mind was that I just HAD to run around the spirals.

BUT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED MYSELF FROM DOING SO BECAUSE I SAW A GROUP OF 5 YEAR OLDS

DOING EXACTLY WHAT I WAS JUST ABOUT TO EMBARRASS MYSELF WITH

Hmmmmmmm…. at least I'm glad to know that my inner child still reigns.

IT LIVES!

Passed by the Chinese Garden of Friendship!

This stone lion/dragon above must be the guardian of its gates

… which somehow reminds me of Mulan. The great stone dragon which Mushu broke

Speaking of stone animals, something very peculiar caught my eye.

What on earth is this?

It was a stone sheep/ewe/ram suspended in mid-air

My, my… you must be having fun defying gravity

And I certainly had fun becoming a shepherd for a fair bit

BAAA RAMM YUUU! To your breed, your fleece, your clan be true, sheep be true! BAAA RAMM YUUU!

(quoted from one of my fave award-winning film Babe, the sheep-pig, released in 1995)

Omigosh and finally we began to head home.

I had such an amazing time – a full day out from 9 o'clock in the morning until past 8pm!

Was about to pass out the moment I got home! Oh but before that, I'd like to remind you to….

Sign me up for any sheep-wrestling competition!

… because I know the sheep password 😛 😛

I have loads of love for pancakes. Do you?

Back home in Malaysia, I used to go to Paddington's House of Pancakes every so often that the waiters automatically acknowledge me with each visit. I was hoping to eat pancakes whilst in Aussie but there aren't any close by.

So when I first came to Sydney, I've asked on Twitter where would anyone recommend me awesome places for food?

The answer was unanimous – Pancakes on the Rocks.

And so I did as I was told 😀

Thanks guys, for the recommendation!

Had some Iced Coffee with Ice Cream on top while we waited for our orders.

Seriously, when I said OVER-POPULARLY FAMOUS Pancakes on the Rocks, I meant it literally.

It was over-populated LOL

We had to queue all the way up the staircase and the line behind us kept growing!

Thankfully we were allowed to order while waiting – saves heaps of time!

As we came in a group of 4, we decided to share some dishes and have some of our own.

The first dish we ordered was ….

the traditional, famous pancake stack!

Served with maple syrup and ice-cream 😀 😀

We reckoned it wouldn't be enough, since it was too yummy!

So we ordered another stack –

Ommmnomnomnomnom

I know some people may not get what the big deal is on pancakes, as it's only made of flour, milk, eggs and other stuff.

But no, I've attempted making pancakes a few times and although it was edible, it took me a while to actually get ALL the ingredients in the right ratio to achieve that fluffy, soft & melt-in-your-mouth pancakes!

Really, it's no easy feat.

Here's what we ordered next –

Chicken and Bacon Gourmet Pancake Pizza!

Couzzie Ken and I shared it, but it proved too much for the both of us so Uncle Shen and Auntie Julie ended up having some too.

I haven't seen this before, Pancake Pizza? Now, that's something new to me.

Also, sundried tomatoes, marinated mushrooms, tomato salsa on a guacamole & mozzarella cheese base

What's not to love? 😀

Auntie Julie ordered some Macademia Madness!!!

It had a nutty twist to the regular pancake stacks… delish

Check out that nutty pancake! 😀

(A quarter eaten, I stopped her midway LOL)

The vanilla ice-cream complemented this combo well. Thumbs up!

Okay, my turn. Here's what I ordered, one of their famous savory pancakes –

the Monte Cristo!

Chicken with smoked ham and cheese, served on a bed of lettuce and topped with chili sour cream & shallots

It was soooo delicious I wanted to have another helping but was already full to the brim!

Can't take it any more even if I wanted to 🙁

Here's a short VLOG I made whilst in Sydney, enjoy watching the entire 1 minute of it –

Wheeeeeeee *spins around*

If you missed it, here's the blog-episode on my visit to Sydney Opera House & Harbour Bridge!

So with our stuffed bellies and satiated appetites, we headed back to the car after a short stroll around The Rocks.

Here's a very amused me by the typical Western-looking red postbox!

Why don't we ever have one of these in Malaysia?

Just like Australia, we were colonized by the British too, so… where's our iconic red postbox? 🙁 🙁

Taking a good rest after a good meal

I love the flowerbed behind me! 🙂 🙂

Next up!

Kingsley's Steakhouse, Darling Harbour & Sydney's popular Star City casino (where I won triple my cash!) $$$ Now, who wants to take me for a spin on their next trip to the casino? Muahaha.
