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 ;)

But for sure... some kinda fish coz I can see them jumping out of water... stressed by the birds :o Those white foams on the water surface were caused by the fishes... coz out boat have not even reach there... pix taken from the front of the vessel.

Ok that's the most exciting sighting of the entire trip... before things get really nasty :cry:

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.
