Woke up super early on day 2 because we are having our Sydney Opera House tour at 9.00am. We wanted to get the 5pm tickets but there was no more left. So we booked the 9.00am one which has special early bird discount too. Save more moolah.

| Double Decker Train |
How cool is there train. It's a double decker train, we only have double decker bus in Singapore. See how empty their train is. Haha, but this was a Sunday but even on a weekday morning, there will still be seats. Singapore mrt how to get such empty trains.
In return, their train tickets are ridiculously expensive. $3.80 for 2 stops (I don't think they charge by the number of stops though).
Bought a spring roll along the way for breakfast, the spring roll does not taste like our normal spring roll but it is damn good.
Our tickets cost only $29.60 as opposed to the $33.30 for the usual online tickets. Early bird tickets are for the 9am and 9.30am tours.
Actually, I have no idea why I took this picture, but if I took it, it should be of some importance. So I'm guessing, this is the inside of the 'sails'?
They took the tiles out for washing or else you will never get to see this black black floor.
I think it's so sad that the designer of the sydney opera house didn't have the chance to see his creation, feels like such as waste. The whole tour takes about an hour and I think if you like to watch opera then you will be able to better appreciate the tour.
I look quite hapy here but my teeth looks damn crooked and no eyes. After this trip, I think I became a pro at taking jump shots, inititally I need to take a few times for a perfect shot for muihong but my skill improved over time.
Do I look like I dress very weirdly? When I showed my father this photo, he said why do I dress like a crazy woman -_-

| Hot chocolate |
Hot chocolate at guylian cafe was good. I'm not good a differentiating whether a particular food is good or very good but according to muihong, the hot chocolate there was the best hot chocolate ever. After hot chocolate and lunch, it was time for whale watching.
I was expecting too much for this whale watching cruise. Paid $49 for the whale watching cruise with Captaincook, which was a big discount from the actual price of $90. I'm not sure if it is cheaper booking online, but if there is no special price online, I think it is cheaper booking directly when you are there since they charge 1.5% for credit card payment.

| Sea meets the sky |
So when soembody tell me whale watching, I was expecting to really see whales but all I saw was one adolescent whale which was super far away. The thing is the boat is quite big, so imagine you are at one side of the boat and the whale appear the far end of another side of the boat and by the time you rush to the other side of the boat, the whale went underwater again. The worst thing is, I took out my spectacles hoping to get a better look at the whale and I ended up losing my spectacles. I'm just clumsy like that, more clumsiness in the days to come.
When we were returning, it started raining. The good thing that came out from the trip is being able to see the rainbow.

Although the whale watching part of the whale watching cruise is quite disappointing, the ride out to the sea was fun cause it was quite fast which makes it exciting. Why aren't we one of those lucky ones who gets to see sharks or dolphins or killer whales or just a whale within a nearer proximity.

My photos standard not bad eh!
Went for the free walking tour for the rocks. Technically it is free but at the end of the tour the tour guide will ask you to tip according to what you think the tour is worth.
The tour guide is really good. She's a history major student which means she is younger than me but she can speak so well in front of a crowd.
I made this building look like a haunted house. I took this because this building is going to be demolished soon.

Two of the many bars fighting to be the oldest bar at the rocks.
After the tour, it was time for dinner. We had dinner at Sydney Madang.
Luckily we didn't have to queue long, about 10 minutes and we got a seat. So damn good to be able to hide in the restaurant cause it was raining outside. The Korean food there is good. Haha, I kind of dig in already before taking this photo. Their side dishes are good but they don't refill them for you automatically, I think you need to ask. The pancake is good. My chicken tasted abit like chinese chicken but still good.
