I bought an iVenture card flexible pass so I could choose 5 attractions that I wanted to go with a cheaper price. You can buy the unlimited pass so you can save more money and visit more attractions. I used my iVenture card to board the Captain Cook Cruise and visit Tarongga Zoo. The retail rate for the entrance fee was AUD 46. I used this card so it helped me to save some bucks. iVenture card offer single entry to the zoo and Safari Cable Car too. I will explain more about the iVenture card next time lol.

I realised that I went to the wrong zoo. Lol. It's not that I didn't like about this zoo. I had to fork out some money to take photos with Koala and Kangaroo. I regretted though. I should go to Featherdale Wildlife Park instead. In Featherdale, I can get close with the animals and take lots of photos with them. However, Featherdale was a bit too far for me to travel. I felt a bit disappointed too when I couldn't see Quokka in this zoo. I think I only spent half an hour there and went back to Circular Quay. It was my last day in Sydney  so I had to rush back to pack my things. I even planned to visit The Grounds of Alexandria but once again the place was a bit far for me too. 

Still in Sydney. Hehe.

It was quite a long drive to this place. Two hours's drive to reach the Redang beach and Sekinchan. My car had some weird noise when I drove along the roads in Sekinchan area. A few weeks later I went to Kedah with my friends, their car had the same noise too. I guess it's something to do with the paddy field's roads lol which I can't explain about it. I always want to visit this place because this place seems so famous on the social media. When I really got there, I was like ooo okay. Haha. It's still a nice place anyway. Even though the place doesn't have much attractions, I do love the paddy field!!!!

Thanks to my Couchsurfing host Ben and his girlfriend for bringing me to search for Christmas Light in Sydney. They drove me to some residential areas in Bondi. It was quite cold on that night. 17 celcius degree and it was very windy. It was my very first time to see these houses with all the beautiful adornments and christmas lights.

After that, they brought me to Gelatissimo. It's one of the famous gelato shop in Bondi.

Let's Hi5 the world!

I was glad that I was able to view this iconic building from different angles. Inside and outside. I booked a guided tour when I was there. The tours were in various languages. I chose the English guided tour because I think it's more authentic. I learned so much from the one-hour guided tour. The tour guide brought us to different types of rooms but I didn't get to see the stars' dressing rooms. Then, all of us watched a short video in a small room before we went to other rooms. It would be so nice if I could afford to watch a show in the Sydney Opera House and dine at Bennelong Restaurant. Photography and video shooting were not allowed when we were in the theater hall. The theater hall looked really nice. It's very  well-designed.  The Sydney Opera House was designed by a Danish architect named Jorn Utzon. This amazing building is actually composed of 1,056,000 cream-coloured Swedish tiles. The tour guide did ask us to knock one of the tiles too.  The tour guide was actually from Germany. Haha. She was a little bit nervous that day because that was her first guided tour. However, she did a pretty good job in explaining all the details to us.  

The tour departs from 9am to 5pm.

Price for the guided tour : AUD37 adult &  AUD 20 child

Sydney Opera House is just a stone's throw distance from the Circular Quay station.

Little Bay Beach is located in Randwick City Council. It is one of Sydney's undiscovered jewels. A secret 'beach' that is popular with locals. The place is quite far from the center. Luckily my friend fetched me with his old white saab. Besides that, it's my very first time sitting in a car in Sydney! I was so excited when the car passed through the Sydney's Harbour Bridge. It was really a once in a lifetime experience for me that I could actually climb the bridge and sit in a car passing the bridge. It was eye opening and I was so overjoyed to look at everything in Sydney. I'm a 'kampung' girl. This was my real first time to experience Sydney in a non touristy way. I mingled and talked with the locals. So you have to bear with me when I get so excited over little things like these lol.
