He arrived late thurs night after a long long looooong 12 hour flight from TPE.
No dramas at the Arrival Hall... just big big big hugs ^^ 我很害羞的！你不懂meh？？？不然？要在机场见到他就抱着哭meh？？？演习给大家看啊？chey！
Anyways, since it was already 9-ish, we came straight home for dinner.
Good thing i had planned it all in advance... had prepared and made chicken/mushroom stew earlier in the afternoon and left it in the slow-cooker, so we came home to a hot dinner ^^
Day 2 --
I had class (and presentation!!!) that evening, so we did not go far...
Walked to Coogee Beach in the morning... had brekkie along the way... spent the rest of the morning at Coogee before heading to Coles for groceries at noon. We were talking sOOoooo much... was like trying to catch up with lost time and cramp everything we missed telling and sharing with each other into the time he was going to spend here. Uni. work, parents, Claire, my friends, his colleagues, 旺旺... everything!!
Spent the rest of the afternoon preparing dinner together before i went to uni.
oOooh i love that he is so comfortable in the kitchen... with food prep.s, with cooking, with cleaning... heeee!
Day 3 --
Did ALOT of walking that Sat.
In the morning we went to Paddington Market. Funny how when you're with your loved one, even the longest walks seem short... the farthest distances no long feel far... and time just flies...... The otherwise long walk up Oxford Street to the Market felt like a brisk 10minute stroll... we reached the Markets in time for early lunch of Aussie Grilled Chicken and Steak Rolls and did all the touris-y stuff like chocolate-tasting and sniffing our way past the stalls selling incense and handmade soaps etc. before leaving just after noon to make our way to the City.
A spot of shopping and a huge yummy Java Chip Frappucino later, we joined Daniel, Joanna, Carrie, Fred and Henry at Green Box Plus. K-歌！I like!!! Ting and Jas joined us soon after.
After that we walked to Darling Harbour for ice-cream at PassionFlower.
** I have no idea why Daniel's butt was in Fred's face... but he looks so funny here ^^
(With Carrie, Jas, Joanna, Daniel and Fred; Photographer Henry)
Then we walked back to the City for dinner at Pepper Lunch. Yes! They opened up an outlet in Syd.!!! Woohooooo!
After dinner we walked (yet again), to Circular Quay. Fred had cravings for 雪糕 (he always seems to be having cravings for 雪糕...), Daniel wanted to do drinks at the bar at the Opera House. So we walked there (Fred getting his 雪糕fix from Royal Copenhagen along the way). Took lots of pictures, had a drink at the bar, before we called it a day and headed home.
Day 4 --Went for Sunday Morning Mass before going to the Fish Markets for lunch.
oOoooh! Yum!
But it was so so SO crowded at lunchtime on Sunday. Had to go round 'n' round looking 'n' waiting for a table. And as usual there were just sOooooo many Chinese tourists, pushing their way through the crowds and trying to cut queues. Bah!
We walked back to Darling Harbour after that.
Dropped by the Maritime Museum for a look-see before walking over to Paddy's. Had initially wanted to window shop in Chinatown to kill time till we were hungry then eat out, but then we changed our minds and went to get fresh seafood and veg. Came home and i made Tom Yum Seafood Soup for dinner that evening. Heeee! 又酸又辣! 好好吃! Heeeee!Oh, and that evening i 'introduced' the Aussie Big Brother programme to him as the telly was on while we were having dinner.
Day 5 --
The weather was absolutely glorious that Monday! We went for the Coogee-Bondi Walk. It was fantastic!!! Absolutely wonderful! The weather was just glorious! The sun was so so bright! Yet the wind was cooling. We had toast and fruits and plenty of water as we did our Walk.
Then when we got to Bondi Beach at 1-ish, we shared a Fried Mars Bar and large smoothie at the Beach. *Sheepish* did not take pictures cos we were starving and the Fried Mars Bar was so yummy-licious we dove straight into eating before we remembered we should have snapped a shot of it :p
**An elderly caucasion man who was having lunch by the beach when we got to Bondi, saw him taking pictures of me and volunteered to help take a shot of us 2 :) how nice!**
Day 6 --
Went to catch Spidey at Ritz Cinema -- my first movie this semester since coming back to Syd! Its just too expensive watching movies here lah! PLUS! Watch movie must depend on company de... 如果不是跟他，我也不会去看！我看戏也选人陪的！Haha!Because it was a tuesday afternoon show, and Spidey was not a 'new released' movie, we had the whole (well, practically the whole) cinema to ourselves ^^ we took up about 4 seats cos i had all the arm-rest up and was stretched out there, head on his lap, while we watched Spidey do his stuff - flinging himself from building to building, giving upside-down kisses, blah blah blah....
Day 7 --
Went to the City. Shopping! Yippeeeeee!
We headed straight to QVB and within the 1st hour there, had spent a hundred odd on new shirts and jacket for him. It's so difficult to get him to spend money on himself! He's such a sweetheart... is willing to spend hundreds on a pair of shoes for me, but not willing to spend the same amount on a shirt for himself. *sweet*
Shared a Jesters' Popeye, then later Krispy Kreme donut, before we walked over to Hyde Park.
Dropped by St. Mary's, said a 'lil prayer, then we walked through the City to Circular Quay. .JPG)
**i love his HUGE toothy smile here... taken at the Opera House... very windy... i think this was one of those snaps where i'll go "take a picture!" and he'll bring up the camera and go chi-chak without waiting or thinking... no need to aim or wait... haha! thus, the impromptu effect ^^ **
Spent the rest of the afternoon in the area - the Opera House, the jetty area, The Rocks...
And what's a trip to The Rocks without dinner at Pancakes right? Haha! Yummy!!!Day 8 --
Class and report due in the evening, so we stayed home during the day. I caught up with some readings and prep. for class while he watched dvds.
We went for dinner at Sushi Fusion with Yanis, Wilson and Olivia later that night. Hurhurhur... still can't forget Wilson's face when he was first introduced to him! His jaw almost hit the ground! Cos i think he never had a clue of his existence since i've never talked with him about my relationships. At least Olivia and Yanis were more composed and their reactions less drama. Haha! Wilson's expressions can be so comical sometimes ^^
Day 9 --
Rained!!!!!! Bah! Spoilt our plans for a 'lomantic' day at the Botanic Gardens.
Stayed home, curled up next to him in my pyjamas and woolly socks (cos it was coooooold!) and watched dvds till i had to go for class.
Like the previous days i had class since he arrived, he insisted on walking me to Uni., seeing me to class, walking home again alone, shower, help around the house (that evening he helped with the ironing!! oOooh hugs!), then walking back down to Uni. to 'pick me up' after class. 开心开心！好开心！**幸福的感觉** Haha!
