Sydney Fish Market

Sydney Fish Market, a place where we heard long long time ago before depart to Australia. Hubby and I take a bus to Pyrmont, walk cross a few street and reached Sydney Fish Market. It's easy!

Sydney Fish Market incorporates a working fishing port, wholesale fish market, fresh seafood retail market, a delicatessen, a sushi bar, a bakery, a gift shop, a fruit and vegetable market, a beverage outlet, a seafood cooking school, indoor seating and an outdoor promenade for visitors. There are daily wholesale auctions for Sydney's seafood retailers.

Hubby and I bought a lot of great cooked seafood inside Sydney Fish Market, and because all the seats are fulled due to the Easter holiday, we went across the street to a large field, sit down to enjoy!

Hubby and I went Sydney on free and easy, no guide was appointed to bring us around. Thus I had put in a lot of effort finding our own itinerary.

Melaka trip planning

Melaka is located on the Western Coast of Peninsular Malaysia facing the Straits of Melaka.

I wanted to go Melaka. I've have been there long long time ago. And because I have got my DSLR, I could have get lots of great pictures there. Delicious nyonya food is a main attraction for me too!

I have listed here the must go places in Melaka. If possible, hubby and I will stay in Melaka for one night during Chinese New Year's holiday.

• Jonker Street - Known worldwide among famous antique collectors as one of the best places to hunt and bargain for antiques.

• Christ Church - Built in 1753 by Dutch to commemorate a century of their rule.

• Hang Li Poh's Well - It is said that the well never dried up, not even during times of extreme drought. It has long since been converted into a wishing well.

• Maritime Museum - Get a closer look at Melaka from the famed Malay Sultanate of the 14th century to the Portuguese era, the Dutch era and the British era.

• Baba-Nonya Heritage Museum - Art and objects illustrating Malaysia’s wide cultural diversity are on display in this restored home.

• Porta de Santiago - The only remaining gateway of the formerly massive A’Famosa fortress.

• Melaka Town Square - Town center during Dutch colonial times.

I'm recruiting friends to go Melaka with us, most of them doesn't want to go because "nothing to see"!

Gunung Lang Recreation Park, Ipoh, Perak

Gunung Lang Recreation Park is a place located within Ipoh, but not much people had been there, or may be not even heard about it.

I have been there during my secondary school time, with hubby. lol

It is practically nothing much to see there but I enjoy the view pretty much. It is very relaxing to enjoy the wind and view at Gunung Lang.

Travel to New Zealand

New Zealand

New Zealand is known in the native Maori language as Aotearoa, often translated as The land of the long white cloud.

New Zealand is a country of stunning and diverse natural beauty: Soaring mountain peaks, fiords, lakes, rivers, and active volcanic features. The islands are inhabited many species of unique fauna, including the elusive kiwi, which has become the national symbol.

The Maori culture continues to play an important part in everyday New Zealand life, and there are abundant opportunities for the visitor to understand and experience the history and the present day form of Maori life.

The country is sparsely populated, but easily accessible. New Zealand has modern visitor facilities, and developed transportation networks. New Zealand often adds an adventure twist to nature, and is the home of jetboating through shallow gorges, and bungy jumping off anything high enough to give a thrill.

Paddy's Markey, Sydney

When you are in Sydney, do not left out Paddy's market. I bought a lot of souvenirs and gifts there with cheap price. LOL

Paddy's Markets is a commercial enterprise that has two large markets in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Paddy's markets are located in Haymarket and Flemington and specialise in the sale of fruit, vegetables, fish, clothes and giftware.

Flemington Paddy's is the larger site and specialises in fruit and vegetable sales. The market is the primary delivery service of these products for Sydney. The market has a wholesale sales section that caters to larger business and general sales to the public. The market is the central marketplace for Sydneys farmers to sell their products. Paddy's Flemington also has Sydney Central Fresh-Cut Flower Market, that is the central provider of flowers to Sydney's florists. On weekends, the markets also feature clothes, gifts and souvenirs. There is also a second hand market, where vendors set-up a sales stand selling a range of second-hand goods.

The Haymarket Paddy's is located in the 'Market City' site, beside Chinatown and is more like a traditional flea market, specialising in cheap imported clothes, giftware and also has a small section for fruit, vegetables and seafood. Paddy's Haymarket also sells souvenirs which makes it popular with tourists. Market City features these markets along with The Peak apartment building and a modern shopping centre containing a food court, restaurants, boutiques, specialty shops and a cinema complex.

There were street performance outside Paddy's market on the day we visit. I've snap some photos. It was amazing!

AirAsia Fly More! Now 3x daily to Hong Kong

Cheap flight tickets to Hong Kong! I've just bought 4 tickets to Hong Kong for April 2010. My FIL, MIL, hubby and me will go together! A holiday for our family!

I've got cheap air tickets, only RM361 return per person including airport tax, 15kg luggage & seat allocation. It will be a 5 days 4 nights tour.

After discussed with hubby, we decide not to go Disneyland since it's quite similar to Gold Coast Movie World. But a visit to Hong Kong without visiting to Disneyland okay or not? Anyway, it's still early for planning, we have 4 month's time to decide!
