Since we're in Sydney already, we wanted to explore Canberra, the nearest city from Sydney. Plus, there was a Floriade Festival being held, so it was a good reason to go to Canberra. Therefore, since Emma can't drive and Aunty Na was too scared to drive in a foreign country, I had to self-convince myself to drive all the way to Canberra and back to Sydney. Collin, Siew Heng bf, was a good help for giving me directions & tips about Canberra. We left the house at 8.30am, and we managed to reach there around 12pm.. (with the pitt stops + getting lost moments..). Once we reached the Floriade Festival, it started to pour heavily..but the sun came up again after awhile. We were mesmerized by the beautiful flowers around, from one colour to another,from tulips to roses, it was like a kingdom of flowers.. Flower Haven! We took pictures at almost every corner garden, it was really pretty.. We even made a mini Hindustani movie scene at the festival! hehe.. There were also little "people" mini-statues that was painted by various people, from kids to adults, with fancy decorations & all. Later that afternoon, we took pics at the important monuments of Canberra, namely the National Library, Parliament & so on. Driving back to Sydney felt much faster, as I managed to reach home at 8pm (We left Canberra at 5). Can't believed I managed to drive all the way.. Sydney-Canberra.. woohoo! Now I can say.."Been there, done that..." =)
