Sydney Day2: Shopping w Lululemon & Lorna Jane

our king size bed was no joke the most comfortable and it really hugged our bodies in just making you wanna sleep more but time was precious!
another sunny and breezy day in sydney. perfect weather calls for more long walks and discovery!

selfie with momster!

the best part about this trip was being able to bring home new memories of the new friends made :)

after much shopping and walking it was time to scout for food!
free & easy is how we roll! no daily itinerary made beforehand, just discover our way throughout the day!
we made our way to Darling Harbour hoping to find delicious aussie food...

tip on determining if the food is good: WHERE THE PEOPLE AT!

Kyeanies 22nd Birthday @ Strato, Troika Sky Dining

Happy 22nd Birthday my dear Kyean, you're officially a real-real adult now and i know it's a wee bit scary just thinking about how that number will be increasing as time goes by but no worries because.. i'll be there right next to you holding your hand throughout the entire aging journey (holyshitLOL).. and as cliche as it may sound, age really is just a number ;)

in a million ways we really are worlds apart, but that just makes our friendship interesting and special! we both agree that it doesn't matter how long the friendship is, but the effort in making the friendship a genuine one. these  few years with you have been great, thank you for always loving and caring for me :3 know that i would only want the best for you (explains the bitchings hehe). always stay strong and don't be afraid to always be yourself!❤

i will take this opportunity to apologize for all the times i've verbally/textually bullied you hehehe :P i just can't help it sometimes! maybe it's because i love you so much, totally a sisterly thing ya know! hehehehe!❤

anyway Kyean wanted to have an early celebration because she'd be working and all on the actual date and since Mun and I are her special babies we got special treatment as well! thank you for the lovely dinner <3

Where? Strato, Troika Sky Dining

it was my first time there and i really love how it gives you that casual yet romantic atmosphere. bookings aren't available for dinner because tables are very limited so either go on a weeknight or during the day for luncheon :)

i've try quite a few italian restaurants and i'd definitely recommend this place as they serve pretty authentic meals. let them pictures speak~

Sydney Day 1

DSC_1119

Mom was greeted with a warm hug by Shaun when we got the our hotel! it was so spontaneous and definitely took mom by surprise! he wouldn't let go till i took a picture of the adorable moment :)

We stayed at The Grace Hotel located right smack in the middle of town on 77 York Street. from the moment we got there they've served us beyond well, i'd definitely give them 5 stars for their service! even though the fine print said check in was at around 3pm, they immediately checked us in at 11am and upgraded our room! What a BONUS!
