- Sydneysiders wear a lot of black too.
- No matter how many times I visit Sydney, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House take my breath away. Every single time.
- Never fly Tiger Airways.
- Why can’t Kinokuniya come to Melbourne?
- It’s refreshing checking out the sights, shops and markets on my own instead of going with people. Getting to do my own thing allows me to fully enjoy the beautiful city.
- After a year of coveting the scarf I’ve always wanted on L’avion, I happened to stumble upon the owner of the online store at The Rocks Weekend Market. Not only did I finally get to see the scarf in person (it’s even more beautiful than the pictures on the website), Jo gave me a discount on it too. Oh, and the name of the scarf? It’s called the Melbourne *chuckle*
- I had one of the best Japanese meals I’ve had in a very long time at Yukis At The Quay. I couldn’t fault anything in all of the courses, they were that good. Excellent service too. A Japanese waitress came to us apologising profusely that due to the number of tables they had to serve first, our entrees will be late. By 5 whole minutes.
- The CityRail confuses me. I was so afraid I’d take the wrong train and end up at Wollongong. Speaking of Wollongong, it’s quite a lovely town. Beautiful beaches and people. And no, I didn’t miss my train and end up there. Phew!
- People can be really creative when proposing marriage.
- As beautiful as Sydney is, Melbourne will always be my home 🙂
I totally agree with number 4! It would be awesome to have a kino in Melb, especially since they stock all the lovely mooks 🙂

Kim: Oh I know, right? Problem is, mooks are so expensive here! I recently bought a Jill Stuart one, which is, to be honest, just a catalog, and it sold for $30. Can I hear a “crazy”?!
No. 10 – Amen sister.
Celeste: Right back at ya! 😀
I’m hoping to go there soon and visit my aunt for a weekend – you really have me excited now! Though agree with number 10 entirely. 😉
I’m in love with that scarf too!
Peta: Haha another Melbourne lover *high five*! 😛 Do visit if you can though. It is a beautiful city regardless 🙂
My next holiday I want to go to Australia! 😀

Beetrice: You know what, next time you’re here (not counting this May), let’s take a trip up to Sydney, how about that? 😛
Love this post. It made me smile dreamily in the middle of a busy Monday. =)

I love the scarf! I’m rather into scarves lately… and I think the color theme suits my blog’s. LOL! How big is it anyway? Ah, what a dramatic and lovely proposal. I wanna visit Australia some day!

Bun Bun: Me too! The scarf measures 90 x 90cm, and the material is exactly like the scarves from Hermes 😛
There were some ladies looking upwards when I was walking along the street. When I did, I was like, awww! The YES didn’t come in until later (probably waiting for the signal for an answer). A lady next to me said “damn, this is going to be an expensive proposal if she said no” 😛
Very nice scarf! Hope I get to visit Australia someday 🙂
Issa: Don’t forget to look me up when you do! 😉
Just heard from L’avion’s PR the other day and the lusting begins! The scarves they have are sensational! The Melbourne scarf you’ve got is absolutely to die for. Good purchase, I reckon….an absolute work of art gem! 🙂
That proposal you witnessed is absolutely romantic! A definite wonderful story to tell!! 🙂
Love all your pics of Sydney! Have always loved Sydney, but you’re right, Melbourne’s home! Sydney’s just very nice to visit every so often.

Razfira: So sweet, right? The words “She Said” were paused as everyone who were watching waited with bated breath on the answer. That’s why it looked fuzzier than the “yes” 😛
The proposing part is super interesting. Unlike here in the US, it is boring!!
Beautytoast: Aww really? But I’ve watched really romantic proposals on Youtube, which are from the US! 😛 This is the first time I’ve actually seen such a proposal in person. The person next to me was saying “man, she’d better say yes, or else this is a very expensive rejected proposal” 😛
I will be going to Sydney (also Melbourne) in Sept/Oct this year. We should meet up for tea or something! 😀

Pelf: You’re coming here? Huzzah! We must definitely meet up. I can’t believe we’ve known each other on our blogs for so many years and still haven’t actually seen each other in person. Do message me on Twitter/email closer to the time. It’s a date! 😀
