New South Wales, Sydney

Two months ago I spent my Semester Break at Sydney. It was my second time to visit this wonderful city in Australia and also my second time travel alone oversea to this country. Sydney is very beautiful, with lots of golden beaches, blue skies, historical buildings, friendly birds over the park. The very first time of Winter in my life time which is around 15-20°C(day time) and 8-14°C(night time). It was freaking cold at the night time! =D Here was the photos taken by myself at City. We had the relaxing sight seeing with my boy friend at the second day of my holiday at Sydney.

A must photo for me when Travel


I fall in Love with Lomography since 2011. I know about it through 1 of my friend, she was holding a Diana F+ ( Lomography camera) I was so excited about it! After some research, finally I get my first lomography camera - Ultra Wide and Slim. It is a toy camera with Wide plastic lens, 35mm film (any 35mm film will do) For those who play film camera, they will understand what I'm saying here. =) Do some research if you interested about it!

Feel weird to these photos? These photos are always off colours  wrong focus, vignetting effect – these is what traditional photography defines as a ‘bad picture’, but for Lomography, these is the photo they want. They use these ‘wrong’ settings to their advantage, creating one of a kind photos. Lomography camera is a film camera that always give you surprise of the result. Because you never know what you taken in the photos unlike Digital camera can view the photos through screen. Sometimes, you will get nothing because of over exposure, over light leak, wrong aperture and so on. It is always Unpredictable like our life. You can't predict what will going on the next second. Appreciate every moment you spend with your family and friends. 

According to Lomography.com, There are 10 rules that define ‘lomography’:
  1. Take your camera everywhere you go.
  2. Use it any time – day and night.
  3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
  4. Try to shoot from the hip.
  5. Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
  6. Don’t think.
  7. Be fast.
  8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
  9. Afterwards either.
  10. Don’t worry about any rules!
Don't think just shoot!
Have Fun with the Lomography camera! =D


Seafood Paradise - Sydney Fish Market

Sydney Fish Market is the world's third largest seafood market. They have indoor seating and an outdoor promenade for visitors. Beside my hometown Sandakan (Sabah), Sydney fish market is the second seafood paradise for me! I don't ready eat raw seafood, but I tried the Scampi and Oyster. Scampi still taste good to me, I can eat one in once. I not really like the Oyster's taste. (Boy friend gonna kill me because he love it very much) =X I love their cooked Oyster + Bacon, Prawn, Grilled Abalone, and Fish and Chip! My boy friend loves Oyster and Scampi a lot! He can eat more than 5 Oysters in once. =D Visitors can purchase seafood for cooking purpose or dine in over there. Sydney Fish Market is a tourist spot and it is always crowded with both local visitors and tourist. I love to go this place because Food make me HAPPY! =D


Visitor can choose any Seafood as their set meal

I not really eat Chocolate but this is really delicious Chocolate Dessert. Chocolate Drinks served in the Hug Mug, Chocolate Banana Pizza, Chocolate Fondue, Chocolate Dip (Fresh Strawberries in Pure Melted Chocolate). My favourite dessert in Max Brenner is Belgian Waffle (warm Belgian Waffle drizzled with pure melted Chocolate). They served more than 30 type of Chocolate Dessert, Chocolate Ice Cream and also Chocolate Drinks. Max Brenner is one of the cafe in Sydney that open until late night. People can enjoy Chocolate drinks or Dessert in Max Brenner although its already late night and there are more than 10 outlet in Sydney.
