Disclaimer: My face + hair on this day looked like shitter than usual due to the crappy rainy weather and the crazy rides my cousin and I sat on- further messing up my already crazy hair. I apologize.
YAY! So this day has got to be by far the most tiring day but also the most fun one!
On the second day of my Sydney trip, we headed to the SYDNEY ROYAL EASTER SHOW
Started the day off super early because we had to take a bus and a train to the Sydney Olympic Park (fun fact: they also held the sydney soundwave over here). It was raining but no one was complaining, plus Sydney's trains had flippable seats which could be flipped to change the direction that you want to sit in. Cool or what!?! And their trains are all double deckered. Double the coolness.
Gloomy morning does not equate to gloomy crowd!
There was a 1D merch truck and it was so amusing looking at little 10 year old girls dragging their parents to buy some merch from there. HAHA.
A joey!!!! It was so cute omg *___*
The Map of the Royal Easter Show! It is hugeeee. There was a whole food area, kids ride area, adult ride area, carnival games, goodie bags area, animal shows area etc etc
Really wanted to try going into the haunted house, but Fion and Jie Jie backed out so I guess we couldn't leave them there. :-( It looked fun. There were actually people dressed up as scary things walking outside and scaring people. We managed to take a picture but I think it's in Clement's camera.
A baby croc! Crikey, mate! (also, the dude was kind of cute)
ALPACAS. I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THESE CUTE SMELLY CREATURES.
I clearly remember this Alpaca moving away from me to take a shit WHILE eating. Alpacas multitasking, people.
We then went to go see the bird show! Some of these cages had the most beautiful chickens/geese/ducks/whateverbirds ever. Their feathers, size.... omg couldn't stop staring.
Those chicks that we got to touch were just born the day before!
And then we proceeded to the horse stables where we got to see some of the horses that were participating in the horse show! Omg their manes were so beautifully tied and their bodies all so lean. Man their owners must've spent a lot of time and effort into making them look so good.
And then here comes the fun crazy yoyo part: THE RIDES!
Jie jie and I managed to ride about 5 rides and it was helluva fun. Really didn't think twice about the shit I was going to get myself into and just went for it. Told myself to be spontaneous and do something daring. Proud to say I did it!
(Well I didn't take that crazy extreme swinging 360 ride because my balls were not large enough for that one. Maybe next time)
(see that roller coaster behind? next to the carousel? we took that. It was amazing)
And then Fion and Clement joined us back again for a bumper car game! Haven't played bumper cars in more than 9 years and I still had the same rush of adrenaline when you collide head on with some other car and you both end up laughing. Some things never change. Simple, but so so fun.
(THIS POTATO THING IS DA BOMB DIGGITY PEOPLE, IT WAS SO GOOD I LOVE IT)
We played games, watched animal shows in the rain (we watched one where they had the pigs swim and race), ate a lot of free food samples given out in the food area, took rides, walked around, played more games and ate even more food.
Started off the day at around 9am and only finished up the easter show at 8pm. So fun but so tiring!
It wasn't even then end because Clement brought Fion and I to Pancakes on the rocks!
The rocks is apparently this relatively high class place near the city/cbd area where it overlooks the Sydney Opera House and bridge. Couldn't resist pancakes so we headed over there!
And of course, while walking to the pancake place, why not be a tourist and take some photos?
The strawberry jam/fudge/drizzle was just flgjwkdfhhjtyhnrwip so good.
We also had $4 milkshakes which were amazing as well.
To end this post off, here's some pictures of the super long and (kind of) extravagant firework display during the closing finale of the Royal Easter Show!
Fireworks are kind of my thing. I've always liked the feeling of watching fireworks right above you and they're always so.... captivating. One of the few things that can really make me feel so happy.
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
