Sydney Revisited

The last time I’m in buzzing Sydney was late last year. Guess work has taken toll of our travelling for a bit. Plus I have been home to Malaysia twice this year.

This trip, we flew specially for Dat & Darren as they just nested themselves a new apartment in Centennial Park… very near to Oxford Street ( Sydney Gay Central ). The house is amazeballs. Its an art deco with white on white background. Very chic furniture and as always have Dat’s and Darren’s touch all over it.

Day 1, Penny collected us from Kingsford Smith Airport as we landed. Unlike Melbourne, Sydney airport were buzzing with travellers. We packed light and did not have any check in luggage….

We went to Jones the Grocer for coffee while waiting for the boys to come home. Its kinda lost its charm. The place is a bit empty considering that they normally cater for the upmarket grocers. The coffee was good. It started to rain in Sydney…. and as we reached the boys apartment, it started to rain really heavily.

After shower and change, we went to Fratelli’s Fresh where Dat works. We had a beautiful dinner and VViP treatment. It was fantastic…. We went home in a taxi….and its still pissing down raining…. decided to stay in.

DAY 2…

We left the house on a roadtrip to Bowral, to see Declan’s mum and dad. Its about an hour plus drive. When we reached Bowral, we were greeted by Ron and Beryl…. and Jack..a miniature version of Veuve. A very obedient puppydog.

Mum and Dad made BBQ lunch for us….and it hit the spot. Really yummy…. after 2 hours chatting we left Bowral back to Sydney.

That night Dat and Darren invited some of their friends out with us to ARQ…. Its a fantastic night out…. put on our disco boots and off we go painting the Sydney Gayest venue…all white.. thanks to our trustworthy friend Kate!!!

We left home the next day feeling tired from all the fun we had in Sydney. We’ll be flying there again in August…. Thank you boys for the hospitality……
