i got a new digital camera!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!

my godpa got me a digital camera! it's Canon PowerShot A75 - 3.2 megapixels with 32MB card! woooweeee!!! yeay!!!! i've been waiting for a digital camera for sooo long!!! heheheh now i can take pics of my stay here! MUAHAHAHAHAHA

today we went to Sydney (the city)! i can't believe that i'm still here!! hehehe... it was amazing walking around the city... first we stopped at a park that had the view of the Sydney Opera house and the bridge.. took some pics but didn't turn out nice (my godpa took it with his video cam and he rather take videos than still pics..)

Then we parked the car and headed to a park that was on the way to the city centre of Syndey and where all the shopping is!! no i didn't shop.. things are too expensive but i got to see the different shops they had, the people there with their fancy winter clothes... i think i'll come back here again just to have a cup of tea or chocolate, sit by the side of the walkway and watch people walk by... interesting...

There was a guy just singing

Walking along the outside of the mall (it's a pedestrian walk like Bintang Walk in KL) there were ppl singing and playing their instrudments to get some $$ from the ppl around.. so we saw this guy who was singing oldies and his voice was quite good!! hahaha my godpa said i should get a pic with him while he was singing (note the opened mouth) and he was quite friendly! after the pic he asked how was i! hehehe...

eventhough it's just been 24 hrs since i got here, i realised Australians are soo friendly.. what i mean is that they can just come up with a conversation with u!! like while driving to town, we had to stop at a traffic light and there was some construction going on at that junction... my godpa's wife just put down the window and asked the guy cementing the pavement if she could put her initials there!! i mean!! u don't do that in Malaysia!!! and even when buying food or stuff, the cashier will just talk to u like some good old friends!! can crack (sarcasm) jokes too!!!! i'm like really in a culture shock!!! hahahah....

don't know what tomorrow will be like.. i'm sure to use my new cam to take more pics!!! will put it up here!!
