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 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.

The perfection of imperfection, that’s what it is.

I’ll be sharing more photos in time to come, so keep checking back!

These are from a Korean shop called Angel at Far East Plaza, near the escalator on level 3, which is the same shop that I got all my transparent heels from. The transparent heels are superbly comfortable and so versatile, they can match practically everything in your wardrobe.

Now, which of these is your favourite? 🙂

If you take a closer look at Haji Lane, you’ll notice that the shophouses of yesteryear emanate a beautiful old world charm that blends in seamlessly with modern additions such as brightly coloured gates, graffiti, eclectic fashion shops and hip indie cafes.

One of my favourite cafes is Pluck. Pluck also retails a treasure trove of unique ornaments, apparel, accessories, crockery and all things beautiful.

I’m addicted to ice-cream waffle at Pluck. It’s always sold out on weekends though, so do try to get there early.

They ran out of waffles the last time I went, so we settled for the ice-cream sandwich instead. It’s basically ice-cream sandwiched between 2 chocolate biscuits. Tastes yummy but I still prefer my waffles!

Besides Pluck, Soon Lee is a shop that I frequent, mainly to admire interesting pieces from Asian designers. I was so drawn to a pink tulle skirt I saw recently, but they were only left with L size. 🙁

Still rummaging through the rack in search of the elusive size S skirt. ;P

Soon Lee stocks gorgeous accessories, bags and the most precious books too. I spotted quite a number of English and American classics which will not only be great reads but will also look magnificent on anyone’s bookshelf.

Now, who said Singapore was boring? Sometimes, we only have to look around us to discover beauty in our daily lives. 🙂
