In Sydney, there's train and monorail. The monorail is above the road and goes around the city which is very similar to KL's monorail.

Sydney's city hall

Queen Victoria Building, also known as QV, an amazing shopping centre. It's an old building from 1898 and n 1984 it was refurbished into a shopping centre. Can't believe it was renovated by a Malaysian company, Ipoh Garden Bhd! They still manage to retain it's old, rustic classic charm.

very Romanesque architecture.. Pedestrians waiting patiently at the lights

The QV building has a few significant domes and it makes the building look so much more splendour

this was during tea time..

This was at The Rocks, Louis Vuitton outlet. Am always amazed at how crowded their outlets are. It's like a must for everyone to have an LV. But I don't.. hmm should I need one soon?

Desserts are plentiful, delicious and they're everywhere!! sinful!!

Couldn't resist for this chocolate cake! It's just so hard to stay away from good food here. Everything's just looks so enticing and oh boy... these days I can hardly remember when I was hungry!

My cousin, Mei Jian.. future veterinarian. So if you have pets, you know who to look for :)

somewhere near Chinatown..Chinatown in Sydney is so much more bigger. More shops, more Korean and Japanese girls and very vibrant.

I decided to go for a manicure in Chinatown, in one of the Korean owned shops and it was indeed an experience, with a lot of customers talking about their lives and me, eavesdropping.. I learned a little more of Korea and the girl who was servicing me was very sweet. Paid AUD 55 for a Mani and Pedi treatment.. Figured since am on a holiday, why not go for a treat (trying not to convert) (but OMG!! that's like RM 150!)

This was at Erskenville station. I got on the wrong train and headed the wrong direction! whhooopss... Gia Min was waiting for me at the mascot station which is another 20 minutes away. There are SOOO many train routes in Sydney.
