9 girls + 6 boys = 1 memorable trip

Yay! I finally get to have some free time blogging our trip last weekend - A Trip to the Blue Mountains. So, basically we have 15 people including myself in this trip - The 6 Barahinebans: Jesselyn, Serene, Jun Shi, Tian Mun, Shook Hui and I; The 2 Edwards: Kwang Hong and Sein Hon; The 2 Evatts: Vinora and Kimberly; The 3 Allowahs: Kim Fei, Edison and William and the 2 Morpeths: Wen Ya and Hock Luck.

DAY 1

It was kinda tiring catching the 4.56am train as the blur me has forgotten to bring my phone and the Allowahs & Morpeths nearly missed the train. Cut all those irrelevant stuff, we reached the Blue Mountains at 10am.

On the train. Yea, a pimple below my right cheek.

Erm.. pls look at the white colour hair band! That is the main character!!

A photo shows all, doesn't it?

First thing we gotta do... Buy "Day Pass"! Which was AUD15. Due to "unforeseen circumstances", we spent extra AUD12. Hahaha!! Actually, it's because we wanted to take the scenic ride - Railway and Flyway.

AUD15 day pass.

Add on AUD12 for scenic ride.

Next, to find our accomodation. I hereby apologise for being such a noob.
1) Can't find the place and brought everyone the wrong direction.
2) Don't even know the name of the backpackers. Well, found out - it's the Katoomba Mountain Lodge...

Doing the checking in...

Meanwhile a few photos were being taken.

Leura Cascades!

After an hour plus of trekking, we managed to climb out to the main road. We are LOST! Although there was a sign board saying, "Echo Point: 1 hour 20 mins", it seemed that no one has the energy to continue walking except for Edison and me. It was a good thing to find a restaurant nearby to ask for directions. Yup, we were just 3 mins away from a trolley tour stop. 15 of us dragged our feet all the way up the slight slope and sat by the roadside.

After "Mountain Trekking"... Exhausted!

Look at us! 無家可歸似的!

My poor roommate who was cold and exhausted.

Tired! But still in mood for photo-taking!

Kwang Hong: 哼!Blue Mountain 算啥? 征服Blue Mountain 比征服素蕙的心容易多了!

Guess it's a tiring day for us. Not to forget our nice dinner at a nearby Thai Restaurant. 15 of us, 7 dishes, more than 7 buckets of rice! Gladly present our rice-eating-champion, EDISON Chen NOT! Edison So =p.

Dinner at Thai Restaurant. It's a rare thing to see Edison in photos.

After dinner, Wen Ya and I went back for a shower before joining the others in a coffee shop. Yea, I had organic hot chocolate while she had her own recipe - Honey Milk Shake. We have to stay awake, at least until 12am...
Why? 'coz... it's SEXY HU's Birthday on the 29th!!
Guess what we did. Play "Chor Dai Di"...
Results were as expected. Whenever I play with MengKim and Hock Luck, I will never get the chance to win! The game continues until 12am when the cake was brought in. Jess was dozing off on the couch, while Shook Hui & Tian Mun brought in the cake. It started with a "Happy Birthday song"... and ended with unfinished cake and laughters! =)

Our Birthday Girl - Sexy Hu

Happy Birthday Dear!

DAY 2

It was a cold night, yet I slept soundly. People who know me well should know how I sleep. Like what sis-in-law said, "睡豬!天塌下來也不會醒的!" That kind of person.
Anyway, it was another rushing day for us since two pigs - Sein Hon and William - woke up late. We were suppose to catch the 9.25am train yet they were still sleeping at 9!!! When we managed to hop onto the train on time, guess what we realised?
SEIN HON DIDN'T BUY TICKET!! (Katoomba is a small stop, therefore there's no scanner to scan our tickets.) So, 9 of us - Kwang Hong, Edison, Mengkim, Hock Luck, Sein Hon, Shook Hui, Tian Mun, Jesselyn and I - jumped off the train at the next stop. By the way, the other 6 were planning to go bondi. While waiting for the next train, Jesselyn suddenly realised that she was following them to Bondi. Oh no! That means the other 6 gotta wait for her at Central. Central is where we met up and where we parted. Cute Cindy (that's me) didn't want to go Bondi but wanna eat rice, in fact it makes no difference whether we are taking the same train or not, followed the Bondi group for chicken rice while the other 7 people went for "wan tan mee".
I was quite glad that I didn't join for noodles 'coz I heard from Shook Hui that there were prawns! Well, remembered I left my phone at home? Therefore, I gotta stick closely, VERY CLOSELY to Wen Ya. After meeting up with Tian Mun and Shook Hui, Wen Ya left for her friends' house while 3 of us walked around China Town until it was time to meet up with ALBERT WONG!
"ALBERT ALBERT ALBERT!!" I was singing his name secretly all the way!
Hahaha... what to do? Miss him so much and I haven't seen him for almost a year!!

I cannot believe that there was so many obstacles just to meet Albert!!!
The plan was: "Meet Albert at 5.30pm at Central."
When we were on our way to Central, Tian Mun called Jesselyn for confirmation.
But then, she said, "Meet Albert at Harbourside since he's taking ferry here."
Alright then, so we took the path to Darling Harbour.
Suddenly, Tian Mun received a call from Jesselyn.

*TaDa*

"Jesselyn said meet Albert at Circular Quay."
Wow... Circular Quay is like 20 mins walk! But, to meet Albert, even climbing 10 mountains I wouldn't mind! =p
Just then, when we were half way there, we received another call.
"Meet Albert at Harbourside foodcourt!"

"!@#%#$^%@$#@%#$^^##%@$#^@" <---- 8 of us started moaning... OMG! This is really OMG! I take back my words! I don't wanna climb 10 mountains! Anyway, since Jesselyn told us this was final, we hold on to our hope and dashed to Darling Harbour. After a long wait, Jesselyn called again, conducting the next step. Don't worry. It wasn't change of plan. She told us to meet at the foodcourt in front of Novotel. But... when we arrived... Albert was nowhere to be found. "I'm sorry. Albert is at Circular Quay now." "O_O WHAT!!" *faint* At the end, "meet at Chinatown". SET! We walked all the way back to Paddy's Market and waited for Albert. The meet up delayed from 5.30pm to 7pm... BUT! It worthed the waiting. We finally saw Albert dressed up expensively walking towards us with his friend, Melvin. We had our dinner at a nearby Chinese Restaurant and this was where our catching up took place as well as talking about our past events! Awww...
