Queen Victoria Building.
We left Sydney Fish Market by tram, and headed for Darling Harbour. Oowh... by then my stomach was already totally full! I could hardly breathe and walk!:PSo from there, we walked to a few popular places and malls until we ended up at our hotel for our prayers and rest. We went on a night cruise on the Parramatta river!
Among the many malls, Queen Victoria Building (QVB) is still my favourite in Sydney. Owwh, I read on a board somewhere on the 3rd floor that the renovation and modernization they were carrying out on the building, some parts of the building will be painted in blue. What??? Blue?? err.... Btw, the coffee at QVB's JET Sydney cafe was really great! *kembung kopi
Darling Harbour by the Cockle Bay.
Sydney Tower. Both En Arip and I have gone up there during our previous trip, so we decided to not bother on this trip. *pic taken by Me.
Sydney Tower. *pic taken by En. Arip.
I just love the tone of this pic; the brown and blue stripes of En Arip's shirt blended well with the surroundings..
While En. Arip was taking this shot, another homeless man yelled out at me; " Smile!!! You're in Sydney!!" Oowhh I bumped into two friendly homlessmen in a single day... seem they were really proud of their city so much!
The York Street side of the QVB...
The front of the QVB, facing the Sydney Town Hall - the other fabulous building around...
The grand matriach of British monarchy, Queen Victoria. If you think she looked rather sulky, that's because she went into depressed mode after her Albert died. Albert was her husband, not her dog huhu :P
Another En Arip's coffee rendezvous... But JET Cafe really knows how to pull a nice, slicky shot!
Coffee again, Yummy
Big yum!
*errr kat pic ni br perasan bibir cawan tu mcm comot LOL
Cup Cakes! Pastry for tea was from the QV Bar Cafe inside the building. Their cream puffs were the best in the world! Creamy and smooth... or simply "Orgasmic!", as En Arip puts it...
Really luv the coffee they served here... luv the surroundings, too...
The lovely Sydney Town Hall building in the back... I am amazed at how well they have preserved this building.
The majestic Queen Victoria Building... We came back the next evening ;)
En Arip filming the nice evening buzz...
The interior. Noticed the "Ipoh Limited" on the clock? Yeah the last restoration in 1997 had been done by a Malaysian Company : Ipoh Garden Berhad, or IGB.
Antiques at every corner u turn *including En.Arip opsss
Little florist shop on the ground level...nice...
Below is a short clip I've taken from En Arip's DVDcam. Take note of the Royal Automata Clock (turret clock)...
Following the hourly Westminster chimes, the clock displays a moving Royal Pageant, showing six famous events from the pages of British history, namely King Henry's reign, King John signing the Magna Carta, and the knighting of Sir Francis Drake...
