We met up with my cousin around noon and headed for a quick lunch before going to Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour. I didn’t really want to go, after all, we’ve visited Ocean World at Manly and watched Under the Sea previously but my cousin told me that it is a MUST go, so we decided to head down.
The aquarium itself have dugongs and shared with visitors their conservation efforts and spreading education message on how to take care of the coastal area of Sydney. The magnificent part was a super huge glass panel which you are able to observe the sharks with other types of fishes swimming together. Ethan was fascinated by the dugongs. It was no regret visiting the place as their display was really fantastic.
After visiting the aquarium, we went to Paddy’s Market. Its a wholesale centre and the setup is like our Pasar Malam. Factory outlets of ESPRIT and COTTON ON were located there as well.
It was Christmas Eve and there was a fireworks display at Darling Harbour. In typical Singaporean style, we arrived at about 7.30pm (1 hr before the start of the display) to get a good spot. If you look at the picture, you will not believe it that its 7.30pm cause its still so bright, but well, it is.
The scenery in the evening was beautiful. Just look at the picture below. I always love the waters around the harbour, it always look crystal clear and I like to see it whenever there are light cause it will reflect really nicely.
The fireworks displayed lasted for about 7 minutes and its my first time using my DSLR shooting pictures of fireworks. Well, I can say that its fairly good and of course, the greatest regret for the trip is not getting a good lens but well, we can always do it the next time. Jingyi took a video of the fireworks and enjoy it!
We ended our day with a really nice group photo.
