Vivid 2k15

Another display of lights filling the beloved city of Sydney. I am so excited to witness the spectacular light installations available this year. This it the third Vivid Sydney I have been during my stay in Sydney. I love this event because it is bring and colorful and best of all it is FREE. Sorry for being such a stingy-person. But hey, what do you expect from a student who is very tight in her budgeting expenditures. I wish Jakarta has events like this but I highly doubt it. Not to sound pessimistic or anything but I highly doubt it since no one in Jakarta is responsible in taking care fragile displays like this. And the traffic is unbearable and where would you put huge installations plus the volunteers to guard them. Anyway, enough with the illogical rambles and let's start talking about THIS YEAR'S VIVID.

From the light installations I have seen, I think the theme this year might link to the the sea. Because there are so many under the sea features that were portrayed from the art sculptures. Keep reading and scrolling the visual diary I present to you in this blog post.

i should have uploaded the photo without vivi in it

Before stopping to Vivid, I stopped by at an ice cream shop I have been wanting to try this sea salt ice cream from the day I saw some friends of mine posting this famous ice cream on instagram. The blue refreshing creamy ice cream of this sea salt flavor is the most worth-it innovative invention anyone has ever invented. Okay, I know I am exaggerating but it is the BOMB. I know if you look at the picture below, it looks like an ordinary mcflurry ice cream you could get from McDonalds, but I guarantee this is NOTHING like that. I chose the sea salt and lychee flavor in the photo below. It's great. Definitely have to check it out. And they usually change flavors every 2 weeks or a month, I am not sure. I really want to try the MELON flavor if it comes out again.

Large $4.3 (i know it's pricey but hey it's THE BOMB)

the tentacles

how cool is this they even installed lights under the water

we printed quite a lot of photos hehehe taken from the professional photographers there

I guess that is about it. I was super tired after all that walking because at first Vivi and I arrived quite early and we have walked around and saw everything in Circular Quay and The Rocks. But then Ko Feri and Ka Ely came and we strolled around again. I know there are more art displayed around the city but I did not have the time to catch them all.

Vivid Sydney 2014

The annual light installations and projections none other than the striking Vivid Sydney of 2014 is here again. I have always been enormously thrilled with this particular event since the beginning of 2014. Honestly, I have only been toVivid once last year, Vivid Sydney 2013. And last year's experience was not the most top-notch first timer I was expecting. You could click on the link to read last year's post yourself, or even reminisce with the post if you were there with me last year..

Enough of 2013, let's talk about 2014!

I went to Vivid about four times this year. I was quite happy with this. I was able to glimpse every installations and projections from different sites. Although I did not get to see everything, at least it was memorable and a wonderful time to collect more photos. I think I have mentioned about my first trip to vivid 2014 on this post --> click me

Enjoy!

Went to Vivid the second time with my medical science classmate, Nicole! It was on a Thursday, I had to wake up early and attend my last Microbiology lab to hand in my lab manual and lab diary and my report. The rest of the day was just plainly a study time for me. At around 2, there was a Histology revision class. The day was as gloomy as ever. There was no sign of sunlight. The sky was completely dark. The plan of going to vivid that day was on the verge of failing. But then, we ended up going.

vivid aquatique show

After the show was over, the rain started to pour. We were drenched, we decided to stop by an ice cream (or maybe it's gelato, can't tell the difference) shop, N2. The place was crowded. The wait was just too long too.

This was on a Saturday, after Diana's pre-birthday surprise (which is going to be discussed on the next post). Went out with Devi and Santa.

best accidental photo ever

watched the fountain show twice that day, and still no balerina scene present

This was an incredible show and such a great booster before finals! My thirst in going to Vivid has been quenched! I mean, how could I not be happy after visiting Vivid for four times! The crowd was unbearable. Good thing Aussie is a safe country. Pickpockets are rare compared to my home country. I am excited to see how Vivid Sydney 2015 will be like. This might not be my first time experience in Vivid. But let's just be frank here, my second experience was the BOMB, ultimate hardcore, and even engulfed my first time. But every story has its own uniqueness so I still cherish my moments last year too.
