I’ll post the scenery photos separately soon. 😉

Time to get my engines cranking! Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend guys!

Reuben Hills is located at Surry Hill, home to most of the hippest cafes in town. As we stood in line for our turn, we realized this is also where the dressiest and most fashionable crowd hang out in Sydney.

Let’s take a peek at the menu, shall we?

The cafe is famous for its coffee, which is rich and potent. Another popular favourite is the salted caramel milkshake. It comes in a gigantic tin cup and one sip is enough to blow your mind.

We shared a table with 2 friendly Australian ladies who not only offered to take a couple shot for us, but also gave us recommendations on places to visit.

The potent concoction. In general, the coffee in Sydney is much better than that in Singapore.

JW had the spice grilled chicken fillet burger. The food here is surprisingly good!

I had the soft baked eggs with shaved jamon. If you’re familiar with Wild Honey in Singapore, this is the equivalent of Tunisian on their menu. I like Wild Honey’s version, but sadly, it pales in comparison to Reuben Hills’.

After filling our tummies, we drove further down the street where all the vintage shops are situated!

Grandma Takes a Trip and Cream on Crown (http://www.creamonline.com.au/) are 2 of the most popular vintage shops in Sydney.

Besides vintage clothes, you’ll also find a record store (http://www.recordstore.com.au/) that specializes in vinyl records.

Even the drivers on the road are polite and always ready to give way when you signal. Everyone’s graciousness is so infectious, it’s no wonder Australia is crowned the happiest country in the world!

The asymmetrical neckline and geometric stripes create a dramatic entrance in a way that’s visually stimulating.

As you can tell, my hair has grown quite a bit in recent months and I can finally experiment with different styles!

I don’t exactly have high expectations of my own cooking, but I must say the 2 recipes that I tried out and improvised upon recently have turned out to be pretty yummy!

Throughout our time together, it was amazing how much we shared about our interests, aspirations and opinions about life in general. I know I’m starting to sound philosophical here, but I really do treasure heart-to-heart talks. Our next meet-up will take place at Forty Hands (my favourite cafe in Singapore), as promised! 🙂

Sorry to have gone missing over the past couple of days. Right after we came back from our ski trip at Snowy Mountains , we headed to Canberra for a 2-day trip and I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate Sydney after visiting Canberra.

I love Sydney’s quaint suburbs, complete with quirky cafes and weekend markets. Located south-west of the CBD, Glebe is one such suburb that bursts into life on weekends.

The Glebe Saturday market is a huge attraction. Its wide variety of knick knacks, eclectic clothes, accessories and vintage ware is a feast for the eyes and the main reason why visitors flock here every Saturday!

In an era where brick-and-mortar bookstores are closing down one after another, it is extremely comforting to be know that one of Sydney’s best loved secondhand bookstore is located right at the heart of Glebe, across from the hustle and bustle of the Glebe markets.

It’s not commonly found in Singapore, but essentially, it tastes just like Bouvril, which I used to love when I was a kid. It has since become a staple in my kitchen. 😉

Pretty ladies all in a row

Now for the guys.

Yu Hao, William, Zi Yuan and Hong Peng

We couldn’t have left the lovely SQ air stewardesses out, could we?

Now, here’s presenting to you the amazing lady who ensured that everything went like clockwork. Many many thanks to Jessie for inviting us to be part of this spectacular event!

Group photo before we called it a night!

My dress and lace pillbox hat for the night were from Dustbunny Vintage. In fact, Karen, Sushi and I were all dressed in Dustbunny Vintage dresses! I know I’ve said this for the umpteenth time, but Pia definitely has the most amazing dresses and accessories for every occasion!

The sun rays streaming down from the sky cast a beautiful ray of light that’s almost magical. I felt like I was transported to an enchanted forest where fairies and pixies frolick with their little wands.

More often than not, being a photographer is not about having the most expensive lens or the best camera.
