Shirley's 22nd Birthday!

On November 15th, my sister Shirley turned 22!! A reminder to people who haven't wished her Happy Birthday yet, now is not too late.. Haha.. So on that faithful day, we made plans to have lunch, explore the city, and do SHOPPING! Firstly we took the bus to Elizabeth Street...

The reason we came here is because of a certain cafe... Chocolate lovers listen up! Have you guys heard of Lindt Chocolate? For those who love Lindt chocolate, remember to pay a visit to Elizabeth Street because there is a Lindt Cafe there. That was our destination!!

Taadaa!! Lindt Cafe really does exist okay.. I'm not lying.. This is my Sis outside the Lindt cafe..

This is the logo printed on the window.. If you really wanna come here then try to remember how this place looks like.. Or pay me to bring you there.. Works for me!! Lolz, I'm seriously kidding..

That is just the timeline of the history behind the Lindt Chocolates. Nice picture le??

Hehe taking some pictures while we were waiting in line. It was a Saturday so there were quite a few people waiting to get seated.. I think they needed more people to work there, because the same guy did the cashier, took orders, and served coffee.. Haha, I wanted to ask for a JOB there because they looked like they need help..

There was just so many chocolates around that I had to take so many photos. The chocolates are not cheap.. For example that huge chocolate ball thingy is 900g and AUD 100.. Haha no girl would buy so much chocolate. Suicidal..

There is a section that sells chocolates connected to the Cafe. They also sell cakes and tiny desserts.. Lindt Cafe is any sweet tooth's heaven..

See.. The place was quite filled up by the time we got there..

Let me tell you.. The menu has 4 sections rite? The first section is Drinks (a lot of chocolate stuff like Hot chocolate, Iced chocolate dark or milk with Lindt Ice cream).. So sinful!!

Then the second section is just Breakfast and Lunch la.. The third and the fourth is all DESSERTS!!!! I saw also like wanna die already.. So difficult to choose dessert because it all sounded so GOOD...

See my thinking face.. "Hmmmm..."

I decided on the Iced Dark Chocolate drink.. There were white & milk chocolate flakes on the top of the drink and the whole thing was DARK chocolate & milk.. The first sip was so heavenly.. Btw, my Sis ordered water.. I was sure nobody came in here and ordered WATER!!! I hear the Hot Chocolate here is the best!

WARNING: People who are Lactose Intolerant please don't order this.. I am a little Lactose intolerant and I didn't feel very well after this.. Hehe..

Later after 30 sips and eating all the chocolate flakes..

This is my 'I wanna puke' face.. Too jelak already.. All the chocolate.. I won't be eating chocolate for awhile after this..

These were the sandwiches we ordered.. Emm, honestly not that good.. This place is famous for the chocolate stuff so I don't recommend coming here for food.. Hehe I couldn't finish my sandwich and had to takeaway..

Lastly, we still had the courage to order Chocolate Lava Cake!!!! Siao man.. We thought so small should be able to finish.. OMG we were fooled.. The cake is 3 times more chocolatie than my drink.. But thank God we managed to finish it thanks to the Vanilla ice cream that covered the chocolate taste.

After the "healthy" lunch, we had to do some major walking to burn off the calories.. So we went to my Sis's favorite street. Haha all the brands are there like Tiffany's, Escada, Jimmy Choo, Cartier, Gucci, Prada, etc.. Don't worry we didn't buy anything.. Haha..

All the endorphines produced by the chocolate caused us to take pictures like this.. Haha! This stairs looked so grand so we just stopped and took some pictures..

I hope you had a good birthday Sis!!

Cute, japanese machine.

Hey! There was once I went to the city and I saw this cool machine. It makes those tiny cakes that have the cute face of cartoons wan. OMG I want this kinda machine in my kitchen to entertain me... So so I couldn't resist so I took a video of it. Don't just read and not see the video! You'll miss out on this cute thingy!!!!

Okay okay.. Just remember to see k??

Hillsong 25th Anniversary.

Alrighty.. The Hillsong 25th Anniversary just happened last Sunday on the 2nd of November. They decided to have the event in the middle of the city, so they had it at Darling Harbor (there will be photos of Darling Harbor below) Cool.. Anyway, they set up a stage with 3 wide screens all floating on the water in the Harbor. So unbelievable rite!? You only believe it when you see the evidence caught on camera. Haha...

So the 25th Anniversary started at 6pm sharp with Darlene singing a really nice intro, which I almost missed. Phew.. got dinner at McD and was running back to hear her sing. So so.. after the intro then they had worship la.. Darlene, Reuben Morgan & Joel Houston were leading worship for the event. When they were on the 2nd praise song, suddenly all the sound died and all you could hear were the drums... But thank God we had a supportive crowd that started singing the song and the worship leaders were still so cool, just acting like nothing happened.. Still rocking on the guitars like everyone can hear them.. Haha.. I'll be freaking out man, just like how the production team was freakin' out once the sound died. LOL.. But once the 2nd praise song ended, we had sound again.. Yay!!!

The whole event was pretty cool, we had worship and all but no preaching of the message. Instead they made a powerpoint of how Hillsong grew among the years and some of the leaders in the church came and gave some speech.. They also made a Time Capsule.. I can't really tell you much because I couldn't find a good place to see anything because of my height.. But I got to see the FIREWORKS that ended the night. I would have enjoyed the fireworks more if some ash didn't fall into my eye... *teary eyes* Ahem... Yeah on to the pictures!!

The floating stage.. The stage is the white thingy in the middle..

Yup.. See the instruments all on the stage? The choir and everyone was on the stage.. Too bad I wasn't on Choir..

Imagine this man! When I got there, these people were already there.. I couldn't see anything because of the crowd.. I really liked this event because we had church at Darling Harbor! Imagine that.. all believers coming together to worship God here..

There were even people on the bridge looking down at the event. I was up there looking down too because I couldn't find a good spot, but after McD... even the stupid bridge was packed with people.. I felt like Zaccheus..... except I'm a woman of course...






We were at McD before the thing started and see how pack it was.. Siao wan ah!!

Oh.. These are some my friends.. Let's introduce them from the right to the left... The first one is Sean/Toast (the Indian), Nick, Florian, & Luke!

This pastor was emcee-ing for the night.. The name very hard to pronounce wan so I won't even try..

Just more pictures of the stage.. Those white words were just floating nicely on the water...

So this was the worship time and Darlene was singing the worship songs (this is after the power died)..

Okay picture this.. You are enjoying worship, lifting up your hands and when you turn your face upwards you don't see a ceiling, but instead you see the heavens.. This is what I experienced that day.. So profound & beautiful..

Me eating my McD, worshipping God on a bench so I can look at the lyrics.. Hehe..

Haha this is a good one.. Okay this guy is Chrishan and in his hand is the priceless cassette called "The Songs of Brian".. LOL.. This is from the time where Ps. Brian had to lead worship in Hillsong and he recorded this cassette..

This is the video of the FIREWORKS!!
