There's a "Jazz Hot Baby" Babies Proms presented by the Sydney Opera House so I thought that it would be a great idea to bring Lil' Angel to experience a performance at the Opera House! Knowing that we can't get up early and reach the Opera House early, I chose the latest time slot available at 12noon...
The tickets cost
AUD18 each. Lil' Angel had to buy a ticket too...
We reached the Opera House half an hour early so we could take some pictures of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House! Lil' Angel was quite cooperative. I asked her to stand there so that Mommy can take a picture and she obliged...
Another shot with the Harbour Bridge...
Now a picture with the Opera House...
Another picture...
Yet another picture...
I wonder what she was staring at...
Mommy, can we go in already? It's getting hot...
Waiting in the Opera House...
Souvenir shop in the Opera House...
We were finally let into the Hall...
The kids were all waiting eagerly for the performance to start...
The stage set up...
Lil' Angel was looking at everything around her...
No pictures of the performance as photo taking was not allowed. Anyway Lil' Angel didn't really enjoy the performance. Think she is still a little young to appreciate Jazz music and she found it a tad too loud! But she was fascinated with all the instruments so I brought her to see and feel the drums, trumpets etc after the performance...
The kids could mingle with the musicians and play with the instruments after the performance...
Lil' Angel likes beating the drums...
And playing with the chairs too...
She still has her eyes on the drum...
There she goes thumping on the drum again...
Lil' Angel was intrigued by the trumpeter blowing the trumpet...
End of performance...off to find Daddy! Daddy went to the Rocks while waiting for us...
As always, Lil' Angel goes running off...
She just kept on walking, not even bothering to check if Mommy is nearby!
After meeting Daddy, we drove and parked at Chinatown, had lunch at Pho Pasteur for my favourite Vietnamese Beef Pho, shopped at Paddy's Market and Market City. Then we walked towards Pitt Street Mall. It's like a ritual...I MUST walk from Chinatown to Pitt Street Mall every time I am here. It's weird, don't ask me why. But Daddy didn't like the walk. He complains that it is so far, there's nothing to see...blah blah blah...
Daddy's look says it all...
Mommy is Happy! This is Lil' Angel's first visit to the Queen Victoria Building...so I brought her upstairs to see the QVB Turret Clock. It chimes every hour and there's a little "show" to see too..
Lil' Angel trying to get a better view of the show...
It's 4pm!
One of the shops selling cute life like puppies...Lil' Angel got all excited and she went "Woof" "Woof"...
Pitt Street Mall. After that, we decided to head to Kingsford for dinner at my favourite restaurant...
We are at Kingsford! The apartment in the background was where I used to live when I was studying at the University of New South Wales. The Uni was just opposite the apartment...
See the yellow sign? It's where the Kingsford Chinese Restaurant is...it's almost every student's favourite Chinese Restaurant...
Ooooohhhh...the best Jing Du Pork Ribs! It dawned upon me that I have not eaten here for sooooo long...maybe since 2000...the year that I graduated! Surprisingly, the price is still almost he same and the standard is just as good!
Since it's our last full day in Sydney, we decided to maximise the day. We headed to Lady's Macquarie's Chair to see the Opera House and Harbour Bridge after dinner...
Ooooh...lots of cockatoos!
Lil' Angel wanted to go near them!
The Lady Macquarie's Chair has one of the best views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge side by side...
Beautiful view of the Sydney Landmarks at sunset...
Time flies when you are having fun! Today is the last day of our holiday in Australia...*sobz*! But we are glad that we enjoyed ourselves and we got to enjoy really good weather on most days! Of course we had to take some pictures with Grandaunt & Granduncle...
Lil' Angel with our gracious hosts. Lil' Angel loves playing with them and never fail to entertain and amuse them with her antics...
And with Mommy...
And with Daddy...
With Great Granduncle outside the house...
Bye Tai Jiong Gong & Tai Gu Por...
We drove to the airport...Lil' Angel is sad that the holiday is over...
Our luggage bags...I am pretty pleased that we didn't burn a big hole in our pocket on shopping cos Mommy has got self-restraint! The loot for Lil' Angel this trip was only...3 dresses, 3 tops, 3 pairs of shoes, 4 hats, 1 swimsuit and some food!
Looking at some displays in the airport...
On board the plane. Lil' Angel got a toy...I call it the GHOST...
What's Lil' Angel pointing at?
Oh, she has company! Her new friend is a 10-month old boy...
Lil 'Angel's post weaning meal. She didn't eat very much so I helped her finished the food...YUMMY!
