The weather here is getting warmer. I'm beginning to miss the strong blow of cool wind across my face and sending chills down my spine. At least, it wasn't as warm back then. Now, the climate just totally reminds me of Singapore.
Post-Christmas Sales in Sydney are just madness. Everyone is out shopping on Boxing Day (including me, hehe), cos' almost every shop is having 50 – 70% sales. The amount that I spent over the Christmas period (26th – 30th Dec) is equivalent to the expenses for the first 2 weeks. The central shopping district is just filled with a sea of people. Myer (something like high-end Metro in Singapore) is completely filled! Loads of people and just heaps of shoes and clothes... Even the queues for the cashier take ages. My friend, who bought a GUESS bag for AUS 50 (Cost price: AUS 99), queued for 30 minutes to pay. Nevertheless, the discounts are really worth it. I was so tempted to get a GUESS wallet and bag myself... They look really gorgeous.
Went straight to Bondi Beach after shopping... Pretty diasppointing for a beach that was so overly-praised... Laperous Beach is much prettier. My biggest headache now is to fit all my shopping accomplishments into my luggage. Masses of chocolate and biscuits, several clothes and bags and slippers... No souvenirs though, since I guess everyone is just sick of getting bookmarks, keychains and magnets... Or at least, I am sick of looking at those things...
Yeah, I completed almost every name on my agenda for the Christmas week. I've been to the Sydney Aquarium, Wildlife Park, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Sydney Fish Market, The Rocks Market and Paddy’s Market.

Taken at the most beautiful beach (my personal opinion): Laperous Beach
I love the wind!
Taken in the Sydney Aquarium... I feel blue...
The Sydney Wildlife World was quite ok. Not very spectacular... At least, I did manage to see the koala and wallabies, and touch a lizard. Oh, the koala bears are really cute!!!

Last place to go before I'm totally satisfied: Taronga Zoo! I'm planning to go next week. Hopefully, it won’t be too crowded.
Three more essays left to do… I’ll persevere!
