27/10/2013 Part 1

it's my birthday, we're gonna party like it's my...well it is my birthday LOL

Although this is not the intended function, cant help it cos it looks nice >:3

Our hotel view of the outside.

Tried to do a cool shot of him walking down the stairs

until he almost fell LOL

George Street!

my fat happy face

PAPAROTI best breakkie bun ever! Only $2.50

Apparently same owner

We walked and walked....and walked....

And walked... until we found...

Market City 

At first I thought it was like Queen victoria market...

Had my hopes up thinking this would be where all the fresh food would be, especially seafood.... mmmm seafood

Delicious Paparoti, so yum!

How wrong was I in regards to the market....

Man my photography skills are through the roof <.<

Reminds me of Asia.

 The entire market reminded us of Asia, for the bf it was HongKong and Bali for me, it was China

Look at all the stuff animals I couldnt get >:

I really really really should've shopped more here.

so many cheap stuff

Look what we found...

totoro onesies!!!

At a steep price of $45 :'( didnt wanna spend so much so didnt get

So many goodies, its like ebay but real life LOL

Monkey and I

lost...

really lost

We pretty much got lost cos we're trying to find a "market" but instead ended up in department store complex....

 UNTIL

We found the elevator...

welcome to the jungle

Introducing Market City, underground market! Well technically its ground floor but it is underground when you enter from the department complex...

Anyone in need of a prada bag?

Or a few dozen phone accessories?

ermahgerd totoro!!

Couldn't take anymore photos as apparently, photography in a market is prohibited (depending on which stores) no wonder why there was a $5 for photographs sign on a wig store lol

After an hour or so, we decided to head out.... to china town!

Sydney is super multicultural, this place reminds me so much of Asia!

Went to Meet Fresh as apparently, from my bf's friend who went to Sydney before us, said it was the best place to grab bubble tea and dessert from!

AND

it was also the place I realised what the headpiece did to my forehead haha.... it looks so gross

Sydney had these cool gadgets Ive never seen before! It is for when you place an order, it'll beep/vibrant when your order is ready! So frkn amazing haha I felt so much like an outdated Melbournian~

We began our long long journey to Circular Quay to see the Harbour bridge and also the Opera house, here are some gorgeously old buildings along the way:

Ok top shop not that old, but still pretty *-*

Water Fountain

Cant go pass without taking selfless!

Petting the duck

Look at that tourist attraction area haha

Where are we heading? :o

Ofc theres only one place we're heading off to, which I will continue on my next entry, prefer not to bombard one entry with too many photos haha

Take care and until next entry!

Hanami Day Part 1 2013

HANAMI DAY~

yep yep I've finally finished all the editing and cropping on my photos and can publish them here :D

At last, here is my photo journey

 with my boyfriend on our very first Hanami Day

After a 40 min drive from the city to whoop whoop land, we found the entry sign!~~

Road was surprisingly smooth even in the mountain regions where normally its all rubble and rocks

Look at all dem Aussie trees!

PARKING weeee, almost there!

Look at that crowd! So many people were gathered

I used the camera on us without even configuring its settings so it ended up giving us white faces LOL

Hi there, Im a ghost~

There were various stalls set up,many different types of food stalls which this one isnt....

This stall had calligraphy which was were absolutely gorgeous

Here she's writing someone's English name in translated Japanese

BONSAI! haha I had to take a photo with this particular one cos it matched my kimono

KIMONOS! Or yukatas~ I still can't remember which is what but none the less SO PRETTY

Another photo of the performance group, unfortunately we went too late and JUST missed it.

Whilst walking towards the entrance I noticed someone in cosplay and kept telling my boyfriend I saw someone with a purple wig!

I really wanted to go find them and....

She found us! haha I approached her for a photo first, but another group of people went straight in and they took their photos -glares- 

This girl was really amazing and probably had done it a lot because she just stood there and posed for awhile!

And finally I got my chance...

She looked so amazing and I loved her outfit >< Super jealous haha

I was super stupid because I only realised after I should have grabbed her name or if she belonged to a cosplay group to at least grab some details! >< but nope my excitement got the better of me and I just giggled away like a little girl LOL

Although most of the Sakura trees were green, that didnt stop the people from enjoying nice picnics :)

Various other flowers were on show despite the lack of Sakuras

Introducing, the flowers I am wearing. LOL

Couldn't help but take selfies with ma man

My bf took this without me knowing and it ended up really nice, imo anyways haha

I wanted to have a photo which looked like I was grabbing the lantern since the area was blocked by the bushes lol

My awesome photography skills! Looks so much better here than it did on the camera lol

Along the way I saw a couple both wearing the outfits which I found super adorable!

So I had to intrude and get a photo with them haha I was such a third wheel

Asked for a photo with her since she looked so nice!

Pretty pink flowers!

As I have literally hundreds more photos to go, I'll split this entry and place more photos on another part :)

Must say it really was amazingly fun and such a great day also! Loved the crowds and loved the atmosphere.

Did I mention I had people asking me for photos? 

Haha yep me! In my cosplay kimono xD 

I felt kinda bad at first cos they kept saying how nice it was and I kept thinking "its not a genuine one ><" but nonetheless they didn't mind and wanted photos :)

So if anyone sees images of someone wearing a pink/white silky kimono without the obi and has orangey blonde hair, yep that'll be me LOL 

To end this entry off, here's a photo of me with a real cherry blossom (sakura) tree~

Take care and until next time!
