Circular Quay... u see those red suits and those red people? :lol: They are boarding the JET-BOAT... will try that next time :unsure:

Before we depart, the captain made an announcement... they received satellite information... sea a bit rough... around 20 knots... too much wave... so can't locate whales via satellite imagery... offer us to return the next day instead :( None of us take the warning seriously ;)

Fast forward...

Taken at the airport... my parents took this plane back to KL... while I waited for the bloody SQ222 that got me delayed 5 hours ;)

The design of this MAS aircraft is quite horrible actually... I think they purposely design it in such a way to irritate SQ... those ribbon design... exactly the same used by SQ007, the one that crashed in Taipei airport couple of years back... a horrid memory for SQ's aviation history <_<

Or perhaps the ribbons are just a coincidence :lol:

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!

:thanks::thanks::thanks: for your time and bandwidth :bow:

they don't look like krispy kreme donuts. where did you get them from?

or maybe they are KK donuts and I'm not too good at spotting non-original ones. hmm.

regardless, nice photos. makes me real tempted to take a short drive/flight up from Melbourne. (=

although the last time I went to Sydney, I did spend a significant amount of time at the fish market, and even bought some fresh fish to cook for dinner. heh.

hope you enjoyed your stay down under.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
