The jellyfish is back! :D It's now approaching the end of November, which means the festive season is approaching soon! November has been a fun month with many interesting activities! Went to AU (Brisbane/Sydney) at the start of November with War, WL and PH! It was fun --- Seen some Kangaroos, went for a ghost tour, looked at the landscape from the Sydney Tower Eye and also did an escape room. The macadamia nuts were nice. :D Gonna go for SC run next week. Sibei YOLO, half regretting my decision. -_- Hope don't die so badly during the run... Took the Korean TOPIK I exam (67th) last Sunday! It is an experience! Only the listening and reading components since they took out writing from the 35th TOPIK onwards. The starting music to test the CD volume is very nice and peaceful. ^^ Wa heng got do the past practice papers, if not will not be used to reading so many Korean characters at once. The passages can be quite interesting though! The last one was something abo...

The morning walk was joined by War as WL was meeting his friend for brunch. :) Unlike the past few mornings, that was a really cold morning (12 to 14 deg) and not wearing jackets seemed to be a really YOLO idea... Anyway we first headed off to the Sydney Sustainable Market at a quieter area of the town. I think we were a bit too early, as quite a number of stalls were still setting up and there wasn't much food. =/ The alternative was to visit Paddington...

Each shop ...

Unlike the early sunrise in Brisbane, the sun rises at about 6+. Woke up early to find directions to various places and enjoy the morning. The 1st period of this lovely day starts off with PH and myself exploring the Royal Botanical Gardens, located in the middle of the cluster of buildings in the area. Not too cold outside~ The Royal Botanic Gardens has slightly lesser trees, but has a much larger variety of flowers as compared to the Brisbane version. This this is considered a "norma...
