Canberra - Day 1

first of all....HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone out there.....

this year is an interesting year for me.....
i did not clebrate CNY at all due to i'm at Sydney....
haha.....but i manage to receive one ang pow....
and a new year card.....
so yeah...at least there's some tradition goin on here...
and we went to a club for dinner that very same night...
had some chinese food....haha....

so back on the track....
as i'd said in the last post....
i went to Canberra, the capital city of australia the very next day after the Australian Day...
it took almost 3 to 4 hours to get there from sydney...
b4 heading towards there, we went to campbelltown to pick up my unrelated cousin....
haha....he's my uncle's son...so he's not a blood related type of cousin...
okie....forget bout what i've said up there....
anyway...he's joshua and he's my age....
yessss....finally there's someone whom i can relate too...
as for our interest is almost the same.....

anyway.....upon arrival....we went to the information center to get a clue what we want to do up there....
n after that.....we check in and headed to QUEESTERCON for lunch and play time...
haha....it is a place where we can try all those scientific stuff....
n josh and i spent around 2 hours in the SPY area (having my uncle and aunt to wait for an hour plus in the cafe) to solve the case...
which we did not....left back one more clue to solve it...
but they are closing soon....
so we have to leave.....
everything closes at 5pm here =( but of coz the restaurants are excepted....

then we for a ride in the car....
and they took me pass the parliment house....
it's real nice.....
and i manage to enter the war memorial musuem...
we are just in time to walk around there for about 10 minutes b4 it closes...

anyway...we headed back to our hotel and unpack....
n hang out for a while....watchin tv and stuff....
then go for dinner....
and that's the last activity for the day....
