9th day. Last day.
We had partied until 2am the night before. I mean, 2am in the morning. Watching nodame cantabile most of the time and half sleeping. And the lime flavoured chips that hangyin picked out for me is really nice, just that if you eat too much (like me who finished half a packet the size of a humongous lays chips), you end up getting gastric pain. Due to the lime acid I guess.
And on 2am, Yuhan fell onto my bed (lying horizontally) and is proclaimed as immobile. That is, no matter how much I called and poked, she refused to wake up and tell me how to load the photos into my memory card, which was what I was doing at 2am.
………………………

And being the last day, everyone felt somewhat sad and so we resolved to taking a huge amount of pictures (and yawning at the same time). Anyway, we were taken to the Paddy’s market to do our last minute shopping, and to my horror, I found out that all the goods were SO MUCH CHEAPER than what we had bought during the previous few nights. Conclusion: I had spent at least $10-$15 extra just buying goods outside. T.T
Does it look like a shopping centre? =)

Anyway, before we went to paddy’s market, we were taken to the Queen Victoria’s shopping centre (is that what it’s called?) to take photos, since according to renyu, not been to the queen V shopping centre would make us regret. That’s not his exact words but that’s what I interpreted anyway. Still, although we had barely time to shop cos we were walking ever so slowly like senior citizens, I think the Q.V. shopping centre is SO NICE!!!!! =) better than the vivo anyway. And certainly more glam than the AMK hub.


And then we went to THE ROCKS. It is the first place in Sydney where ppl settled there, along the beautiful river where the famous darling bridge, Sydney opera house and many more shared its home. MORE SHOPPING!!! Though I only bought a gigantic strawberry-dipped-in-choco. And stamps. And we were 搭讪-ed by two weird ppl who looked like Sydney locals with golden hair who asked us if we want a helicopter ride with them. To which we replied by simply running away. Haha.
And then we went to the fish market to settle our own lunch. And my stomach responded by telling me that it has to appetite at all and is not moved by the lobsters cockles shells fish and crabs which were sold at unbelievable low prices. *(#@*. My stomach sure knows when to eat and when not to eat.

And after that we went to the airport to spend our last 8 hours. The fact that it’s a A380 does not seem to lift our mood either, and so we took more photos, and vowed that we shall not sleep at all and shall watch movies all day. I think only yuhan managed to do that, considering that she finished 6 episodes of hwang jini. And me only a pathetic 1 ½, and the rest of the time spent crazying over the cute guy in hwang jini, me and yuhan, like two hua chi. That is probably the only time you see lingxuan doing that. Too bad you missed it. What a sight.
A380. sorry for the blur photos. im holding in one hand and trying to take while there're like ppl squeezing past me.

I miss the ppl and the sights in Canberra. But I must say that it’s a wonderful experience and that pardon me for repeating for the nth time, but it’s a once in a life time experience, really.
