  • A Journey Full of Surprises

    A Journey Full of Surprises

    A visit to Long Pine Koala Sanctuary, a ride on the Wheel of Brisbane, The Merry Widow operetta at the Sydney Opera House, and a Sydney Harbour sunset cruise.. My companion had surprised me over and over again during this whole trip in Australia. What he unknowingly made happen was an unplanned meeting with a Mastodon “friend” of mine. It was such a wonderful encounter that my companion himself felt immediately connected.

    Although it was merely a two hours conversation over coffee, everything felt so easy and comfortable. There’s no more need to put quotation marks on that word..

  • Good Night, Sydney.

    Good Night, Sydney.

    We will never know, but yesterday’s missing the cruise might have been the best thing ever happened. Even though we had to pay extra for rebooking, today’s sunset sightseeing cruise felt like a perfect conclusion to our journey in Sydney.

    Good Night, Sydney. It’s been a wonderful experience exceeding expectations. It’s a long, tiring journey to get here. Will we ever come back here? I won’t close that door just yet..

  • City of Disorienting Illusion

    City of Disorienting Illusion

    Spending time leisurely in Brisbane and now Sydney has somewhat disoriented me. The amount of Asian population, to me anyway, is surprisingly high. That’s one thing I did not anticipate before I arrived in Australia. Casually walking on the street, the languages I heard and recognized include English, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. The faces that I came across were also giving me the illusion that I was somewhere in Asia. What a world we live in!

  • SkyFeast at Sydney Tower

    SkyFeast at Sydney Tower

    The celebration continues. My companion booked in advance for a special dinner on the Sydney Tower. The whole floor spins continuously and slowly that you barely notice it. Needless to say the view of the cityscape was amazing..

    On a side note, I have to admit that the images captured with my iPhone 16 Pro were far more impressive and hassle-free than the one I posted here..

  • Smiley Cat on My Matcha

    Smiley Cat on My Matcha

    We still try to maintain our Sunday routine even when we are traveling. After our morning run and walk, we took it easy for the rest of the day and only went out for Lunch plus quick shopping. Inside the Kinokuniya Bookstore in walking distance from our hotel, there’s a tiny coffee shop. I ordered a matcha latte and had to capture it when it was brought to me. It’s one of the most elaborate creations I’ve ever seen.

    Sometimes life can seem endless steps ahead of us. And all we can do is keep moving forward, one step at a time..

    Wherever you go, take me there with you. That’s all I ask of you..

  • Birthday Rainbows

    Birthday Rainbows

    I had to cut my birthday run short this morning because it started to rain again when I was approaching 3 miles. It’s been like a tradition for me now that I’d run 5K on my birthday. I know I shouldn’t feel that way but it kind of bothered me that I couldn’t finish my run.

    It’s the first morning since we arrived in Sydney. The sun had been teasing us the whole day. It rained on and off the major half of the day. I suppose because of that, we also witnessed multiple rainbows through out. I think I’ll take that as an auspicious sign for my birthday.

  • Greetings, Sydney!

    Greetings, Sydney!

    Today we traveled from Brisbane to Sydney. The bird’s eye view of the city was spectacular.. We’re looking forward to exploring this destination, which has been on our bucket list for a while.

  • Repositioning Focal Point

    Repositioning Focal Point

    Not sure how long it has been since I feel somewhat losing my focal point. As a consequence I often live in a state of confusion. I know that a decision has to be made and a hard conversation needs to take place. But it’s when that should happen frightens me…
