2 July 2006 - Last day of play before work starts tomorrow!

2 July 2006
Slept only at 530am Sydney time catching the whole of England penalty loss to Portugal and more than half of the first half between victorious France and Brazil. Woke up only at 12 noon. It's seafood feast today! Sydney fish market is our very first stop for our breakfast-cum-lunch.

Sydney Fish Market is well known for the fresh seafood that one can buy and eat right here at the fish market. Fresh seafood can be bought raw or cooked. Rows of benches and tables are available for visitors to feast right at the market. See what the 8 of us ate! (8 including Max, Kevan, Hazel, me, Christina and her 3 frens)

We had 1kg of cooked king prawns, 4 boxes of fish and chips, 3 dozens of oysters, 1 seafood platter for 2 big ang mos AND 2 boxes of sashimi (Raw salmon, tuna and king fish)! And Christina was actually thinking of getting chilli crabs!?!? Luckily we stopped her! Haha..

A note for those visiting the market, do bring your own chilli sauce, wasabi, soy sauce as all these sauces cost $$. As the seafood is known to be super fresh, I took my first swallow of fresh, raw oyster! First ever oyster in my mouth and into my stomach with just lime juices over it! I had 2 in quick succession and decide that they are enuff for my first attempt. Hazel ate more than 6-8 easily. Her favourite! Haha..


After the heavy lunch, it was really so hard staying fully awake for all the 4 of us; even when walking! Haha.. we forced ourselves to take a short walk to Chinatown to see if there is any last min stuff to buy before we start work tomorrow. All of us were really fighting lethargy and sleepiness. At around 6pm, we bought stuff to cook our dinner and we cooked our first meal in Max's room. All thanks to Christina for the 3 boxes of dumplings she made for us! We simply cooked noodles with dumpling, fried an egg with luncheon meat and that's our dinner! See how proud we are! Haha..
