Creamies Morning

When we were in Sydney, I was searching for unique food items to buy. Food items that I know unavailable here in SG. And I found these:



White Wings homestyle cookies. These cookies are called creamies mainly because they whipped cream filings.



The creamies were great! It's like I'm eating ice cream with my usual chocolate cookies.

As always, I forgot how much were these cookies. I sure hope we bought a lot of these!

The Great Blue Mountains of Sydney

Continuing on with my blog posts about our Sydney trip was our experience in the cold Blue Mountains region of Sydney. Like what I said in my Featherdale Wildlife Park Adventure, my Blue Mountains experience was not that good because I didn't like the cable way ride and the scenic railway.

Anyway, after almost a 3 hour-ride from Sydney City, we arrived the "entrance" of Blue Mountains where the beautiful Three Sisters rock formation can be viewed. I was literally awestruck when I saw how neat and beautiful Three Sisters is.

Three Sisters rock formation was as if God went down and made by hand this rock formation. God is truly amazing! We were at a place called Echo Point where we can see the rock formation and the beautiful mountains.

After Echo Point, we then headed to a more adventurous part of Blue Mountains, Scenic World.

going to the different views of Scenic can be done either by Scenic Skyway, Scenic Cableway and Scenic Railway. We didn't do the first one, thank God! We just did the Cableway and Railway and n both rides, I was either shouting or I had my eyes closed.

good thing I was able to give smile to Doms at the Scenic Cableway above. I literally screaming on the way done, haha!

 But for the Scenic Railway, I was really scared when it was coming. A lot of things was coming inot my mind while doing the Railway! I was really freaked out!

In between the cable and railway, we had the chance to do the scenic bush walk going to the coal mines of Blue Mountains. It was a nice experience but it was also tiring! Steep staircases were always present and I hate stairs!

All in all, I liked out Blue Mountains adventure. It was scary for me because I didn't like anything that involves heights and steep railways but Doms seemed to like every minute of it. 

Fashion in Work

There has been a study stating that a person spends more than half of his/her life in the office or work area. This is true for young professionals like me who works from Monday to Friday, 8.15 hours a day. I like my work because I know that when my salary comes, I can buy the things, clothes or shoes that I intend to buy. If I spend around 30 to 50 SGD per month for usual shirts, pants, dresses or shorts from Uniqlo or F21, I should also spare a certain amount for my work clothes. OK, I am not justifying the idea that I need to buy clothes every month but come to think of it, investing on work clothes is not a bad idea after all.

Scanning through my closet, you will see a range of tops, blouses or dresses with different "bright" or blunt colors. I call the left side of my closet the "informals", where the bright colors are, while the middle part of my closet is called the "formals" where the boring beige and undesirable black can be seen. Just by looking at the height of stacked clothes between informals and formals, you will know that I spend most of my money buying informals than formals. With this comparison, I made a mental note of buying formals this weekend.

But what type of formals or work clothes do I like?

I know myself and I also know that in buying clothes, I go for comfortable, not too flashy and unique. So, here are some of the work clothes that I'd like to mirror and hopefully, I can buy these in the coming weeks and wear them to work.

Slacks and Pants
Ever since I started working, my idea of corporate look involves a crisp black slacks and a collared blouse with peep-toe shoes or flat Mary Janes. With this in mind, I'd like to shy away from this statement and buy lighter colored slacks.

I like all the styles seen above! I like how the pants goes down perfectly accompanied by a great blouse that is not necessarily collared. My body isn't this thin but I'm that I can find clothes like this for my size.

Dresses, Dresses and Dresses
Majority of my mood in dressing up for work involves considering if I like to wear pants, skirt or dress. When I'm lazy, I choose to wear a dress or a skirt. So, I plan to buy skirts or dresses for my work clothes.

I like simple dresses that are comfortable and not much of a hassle. Chiffon or free flowing dresses are nice and I hope I can find good quality and cheap dresses like these.

Tops and Blouses
Even if the pants or slacks that I will buy are simple, the blouses or tops that I will pair them will be the highlight of my dream work clothes closet.

Tops or blouses that are light and comfy are my main priority. I also like to buy colored and vibrant hues to make my closet lively.

So there. A compilation of the work clothes style that I wish to fulfill. I hope that I can have the budget and the time and patience to find these styles. I know not all of the styles here will look good to me but at least I now have a basis of what I want and what style I want to pursue.

Good luck to me!

Featherdale Wildlife Park Zoo Morning

I can't think of a nice title for this blog post because I am not very excited talking about these activities. The main reason being my dislike in going to zoos and my fear of heights!

Our third day in Sydney marked a change from walking around the Sydney streets. We purchased a package tour going to one of the famous spots in Sydney called Blue Mountains. I was excited of course but terrified at the same time because I knew that I will be placed in a compromising position because our tour package includes "rides" that I was afraid to do.

Our tour also includes a ticket going to the Featherdale Wildlife Park. I like this place! Animals roam freely and you can pat or touch them. Except of course if there are snakes and lizards which I scream just by looking at their pictures.

Anyway, as always, Doms liked touching animals and taking pictures. As you can see, he looks like he loves all of them already!

 Me, on the other hand wants to as far away as possible to them.

My favorite part of this zoo experience was the picture taking with the cute Koalas. At least this one, looks like a stuffed animal only so no problems to me if I touch them!
