Graciousness

Here's the part II. Continue from the previous post, the next day, I brought darling to Zilver ( one of Sydney's yum cha place) to yum cha. Yes. I super like yum cha and the portion. Believe me. Grand Palace back at Miri can't compete. Darling said, 'Omg. I'm gonna miss the dim sum here when I go back Miri.' Haha :)

After yum cha, we walked around China town and bought some stuff and headed back home. I'm not feeling well that day (basically tired) and decided to go home early. I cooked dinner for the boys. That's basically this summed up the schedule for 1 July. Ha!

If not mistaken, I managed to bring darling to walk around to my uni when we got home and brought along my Bibi. She likes school. hehe

Yes. 2 July is my big day! I turned 24 and I received lots of present from friends and family. My brother who far at Dubai also called me and gave me his blessing. I thought he forgot about my birthday so I'm happy to receive his call. My dad. Funny. I had to call him and said, 'Pa, today is my birthday. How come you never call me?'. Haha.. but he did. It's just I slept early the night before, so Thanks, Pa. For the celebration, I invited my close friends to Pancakes on The Rock for dinner. Before dinner, darling and I went to watched Ice Age 3 in 3D. Not bad. Funny. :)

We got to wear the funny spec

Christie, Mabel and me

Brother and nephew

Thank you for taking time off to celebrate my birthday, girls. You girls are God's gift to me!!

The brother bought me this Mango cake. Nice! and thanks to the girls who made an effort to eat my cake even they were all full ( because I forced them to. lol..)

Make a wish (world peace?? lol)

Christie, Mabel, me (the b'day girl), Stephanie, Natalie and Fiona

Stephy bought me the fluffy teddy bear and pretty blue shirt. She asked me go and change. :) Christie and Mabel bought me some facial products. Thank you :)

After dinner, we all decided take a walk and took some photos.

me and my brother

YES! That's how I celebrated my 24. I'm happy. I will write a post about the present that I received from overseas. These present make me smile :))

Joe can't make it to join us for the dinner. So, the next day, he brought us to Fish Market and drove us around in the city and beaches.

First stop: Fish Market

Joe and Johnny

Second stop: Around city

One of the best pie shop at Sydney

One of the coolest hotel/apartment I ever seen

Darling found this name funny, 'Sian' ???

Third stop: Beaches

One of his friend, William, asked him that he must try this when he come to Sydney and he did. Deep fried Mars bar at one of the fish n' chip shop.

My personal advice is don't ever try this. This will definitely give you heart attack. The batter and the Mars bar inside. Goodness. The boys took out and battle and eat tiny bit of the Mars. They said they will not gonna eat this ever. Lol.

Ohh...took me half an hour ( or more) to write and upload photos. Finally. Anyway, I will write another post about my b'day present. Hehe..

It's a week that I truly enjoy myself throughout the week. I had wonderful week with the boyfriend and friends. The boyfriend just left and flew back to Miri. I was a cry baby after he entered the custom gate. Geeezz.. but I really thankful that I celebrated my birthday with my family, boyfriend and group of friends. I love them all. We took a lot of photo and I guess I have divide it into few posts to finish it. The boyfriend always love to watch movies and food, of course. So, during his stay at Sydney, we watched all the latest movies, Terminator (he insisted want to watch this at night even though he only touched down in the morning), Transformer (at IMAX, my first time too! Darling was very amazed with the big screen in there), Ice Age (in 3D). Other than movies, we went yum chaaa all the way. Ha! Eat non stop seriously.

Sushi after movie

The boys

Darling enjoyed the sushi (I was straving before this, so I ate like a monster. *shy)

After first day, I brought the boys to bondi to have some yum cha session and my bro did a little shopping too :)

We waited for almost one hour at outside :/ almost give up because everyone are starving and started to protest

Boyfriend likes this graffiti wall

Scary weather

The next day, I brought darling to Ichiban Bohsi, located at Town Hall to try with their dishes.

I ordered this and darling regrets that he didn't ordered this. hehe

One of my fav~ Gyoza (fried dumplings)

We were so full after this. So we decided to walk around at QVB (actually I already planned this way ahead. haha) and of course, took lots of photo in there.

the extension side of top floor

Darling was waaay too excited when he saw this letter which written by the Queen. Appreantly this letter only allow to open in 2085. Hmmm... I'm wonder what the Queen hide behind this?

big kid playing with the toy... lol

Cholaaatt~ yum yum

Apple store. Darling was amazed (again!) when he saw this glassy building- Apple Store, with pack with people even though it's already 5pm.

the staircase inside Apple store

After walk around at Apple store, it's time for us to walk to Darling Habour because we're going to watch Transformer at IMAX with friends.

Quick snap at Darling Habour before go to IMAX

Darling got pumped when he reach here :))

Yes! We have to queue up for the movie. Darling says, 'this is so not going happen back at Miri. LOL'. He was shocked when the girl told us that we better queue up A.S.A.P because.... it's FREE sitting. What?! but yeah.. we listened to her, joined the queue yet waiting for our friends to arrive. I'm glad that we went there early. It's a looooooong queue. Phew! After this, bunch of us went to Hurricane's Grill at Darling Habour. It's my darling first try Sydney's famous grill ribs. Tumbs up from him!! Sad that my camera was playing up (basically the camera ran out of batt at very bad timing) when we get there. So no photos of the ribs!

Anyway, my lovely readers, I should stop now. I'll continue tomorrow or day later for more photos and stories to share with. I have to go get shower and wake up early tomorrow morning because need to catch a train to Olympic Park for Hillsong Conference. The reason why I have to go so early because I'm volunteering and we have a meeting in the morning and get ready to start all the craziness with the young kids in the afternoon. Yes! Pray Lord that give us the energy and wisdom and strong body to serve and praise the Lord! Amen!

Night night, people!!
