The day that Santa and I have been planning for even before the beginning of exam is finally here! I am too excited! Too enthusiastic that I could not even sleep that night. I know this might sound a little bit odd to you, it is to myself too, but then again, I don't know why. Oh I know, this might be one of the reasons of being too long getting locked up (not exactly locked up) in my room.
I woke up pretty early that day. Took a shower, returned a book to the library, but then I missed the bus and had to wait for another 30 minutes for the next bus to arrive. That sucks. But no need to worry, I was being amused with a new app called
snapchat. I adore this app so much! It is super easy to get addicted to it. You just send an image or video to a friend and the recipient would view it in a maximum of 10 seconds. It is for temporary sake only, the pictures or videos will no directly be saved into your gallery like any other messengers you use. Sounds fun right? Download now if you must!
It was kinda drizzling when I arrived at the Grounds! But that didn't stop us from having fun aye. What was stopping us was the huge crowd at the Grounds itself. It was super long. The waiting list was about 40minutes-ish. It was a complete no-go-for-us-to-the-museum if we had to stay and wait for the line. So, instead, we grabbed a couple of hot dogs.
We were both planning to catch up with the museum tour at 2. So, we were trying to be on time.
There were basically lots of things to catch up for the both of us. We rarely met each other during second semester. We talked quite a lot.
Then we took a stroll around the place. There was the cutest farm again along with Kevin Bacon and the other farm animals. They are adorable. The rain made the photos that I took look quite pleasant. I have no idea why.

It was time for us to go. We walked to the nearest bus stop in the rain, it was a good thing I brought my umbrella with me. But again, it was kinda broken. I haven't got the time, well, honestly, I am too lazy to buy a new one. Because, the thing about Australia's wind is that it is too strong and no matter good and sturdy your umbrella is, it would soon be broken. It is just insane.
It was a 45 minutes journey from our current location to the art gallery by bus. Not to mention, the bus that we got into was crowded. We only got seats after a few stops. Fortunately, when we arrived it was raining no more which was incredible aye.

the state library in Sydney |
The glitch about this public library is that you are not allowed to enter with your backpack. You have to put it inside a locker in which you have to pay. Yep, no thanks to that, I was just going to sightsee what is inside, so Santa and I proceeded on our journey in finding where the art gallery is.
Found it at last! Thanks to the help of GPS and Santa's navigating skills.

there is a native american paintings exhibition. |

Santa and me (doing a peace sign) |
The place is indescribably wonderful! The inner building looks really grand. High ceilings with marble floor and lots of entrances to different sections of the museum. There are Aboriginal arts, Modern Australian paintings and other sorts. But to me, my favourite would be the European paintings. I thought there would be a section about Greek Myths. I have always admired mythologies since the day I watched Hercules and actually understood what it meant.
|
reminds me a lot of anatomy class |
|
I love this painting. It is entitled Crown and Sceptre. |

Despite the colourful choice in colour, the statements were depressing, showing the irony |

Alice in Tokyo!
I love this concept!
So the artist who is an Australian went to Japan and felt like Alice where everything
is small and just not the right size for her. |
|
Magic mirror! you'll see why later on in the post |
|
Tadaa! My butt looks LARGE! I look like a bee |
Both of us were just wandering around again, up till the moment that I heard a voice. There were a woman and a man conversing. Curious about it, I went to take a look. And bam! I saw these two clowns lying there. They looked so real, I was in shock! I held on Santa's arms. The saying curiosity kills the cat really works huh. Especially on me.
|
another magic mirror. At first i thought I would just play around taking picture on a really black window.
Apparently when we saw the output on my camera, it was really clear. |
|
And I saw this too! zz |
|
COLOURFUL! |
|
In the desert I saw a creature naked bestial who squatting up on the ground held his heart in his hands and ate of it
I said is it good friend? it is bitter. Bitter he answered
but I like it because it is bitter and because it is my heart. |
Afterwards, when it was closing time, both of us proceeded on hunting for dinner. We were planning to eat at Chanoma. So we headed there. We passed St. Mary's Cathedral! It was huge! We even saw a pre-wedding photo session taking place.
However, to our bad luck, the place was crowded. We were planning to eat at Oiden but the line was too long. The other place were a bit pricey so we moved on to another place similar to Oiden just a few blocks away. I forgot what it is called. The name of the restaurant just slipped our of my mind.
