Australia day - Eureka tower & Passionflower

Happy Australia day!!! I know I posted a day late but I was too tired to think of stuff to ramble on here last night lol. Wednesday night, a bunch of us from work went for dinner then karaoke so only slept like 4hrs yesterday. Yesterday being Australia day, we went to the city for some drinks at the South Wharf Hotel.

 

This is what I wore yesterday (mini OOTD) - loving the pastel colours lately. 

• Top - Kookai 
• Shorts - Forever New
• Shoes - Wittners

 

 After that I wanted to go to the Crown chinese festival but turns out they haven't started yet so we walked to Eureka tower and went to the sky desk instead.

 

Check it out! Level 88... when we were going up the elevator, my ears were popping. It took like 2mins to get up to 88, It doesn't feel like it's going up that fast.

 

 The view at the top! B was disappointed when we got up here coz he's been up higher lol I love it how they always advertise stuff in Australia 'tallest building in the southern hemisphere' or 'largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere'. Seriously, there is not much stuff down on this side of the world that could compete.

Dessert was next! We went for ice cream at this place near china town called passionflower, they sell asian flavored ice creams and desserts.

Menu looks pretty cool.

I ordered the black sesame ice cream with glutinous balls. To be honest, I've had better ice cream than this and for wayy cheaper too. This thing you see cost $15.50 and it was only 2 scoops of ice cream. They had like a dessert platter for $40ish, I was thinking omg 40bucks for some ice cream?? I could have a decent meal for that price.

I don't really do the traditional Australia day celebrations, my day was more like a date lol I had a really nice day, too bad I had to go into work today though!

What did you do on Australia day?

Thanks for reading!! =)

Puffing Billy & Yarra Valley Wineries!!

Visited Puffing Billy and Yarra Valley Wineries today, it was a very intense day lol We had to meet up at fed sq at 7.45am to join the tour group. Our first stop was at some park (can't remember the name of it), you can buy bird seeds and feed cockatoos there. Not very exciting but at least we got morning tea, where I had two lamingtons. If you don't know what lamingtons are then you are missing out! It's a cake with jam in the middle coated with chocolate and coconuts on the outside. Next stop was puffing billy, it was filled with very excited parents and kids. We got off at menzies station where our bus driver picked us up and picked up an additional 12 newbies to our tour group (not exactly the best mix of ppl)

 We then went to Fergusson Winery for lunch. Lunch was roast with vegies. The meal was average, probably because I had such high expectations for it. After lunch, was the wine tasting. Only managed to try 2 types wine at this place. Their moscato was quite yummy! Second winery we went to was Dominque something lol really bad with names as you can see.

Last stop was at Rochford - I do really like this place. Tried around 6 types of wine here, their fortified wine was really nice (only coz I like sweet wine) After the tasting, we all went for some dessert. They had a lot of macarons, cakes and fudges. Last time I came here, I got fudge so I didn't get it this time. This time I got a carrot cake with a green tea. It was very yummy, was perfect with the cream.

The newbies that joined our tour ended up drinking so much they were really annoying on the way home. They kept talking really loud and said some things they shouldn't be talking about in public. One of the guys came down to speak to the driver and told him they wanted to be let off. The bus driver agreed and dropped them off and everyone on the bus was clapping coz they left. When they were outside the bus, one of the girls decided to flash herself at everyone!! Who does that??? It's not like they were even young, they look like they were in their early to mid twenties.
