We went to Pesta Kampoeng which is err a celebration of Indonesian culture. There were a lot of food stalls... and a lot of food stalls... hehehe I think most Indos go there just because of the food. They miss their food the most I think, especially the inter students... I miss my food too... but I think I miss my mum's the most... she's probably the best cook in the world!!! (I know that I am being biased since most people would probably says that their mum's cooking is the best in the world :P) But honestly they do not even come close to what my mum would cook... and even the warungs (they're like little stall where you can sit and eat) are much better!! I know I'm probably being too biased now... hehehehe...
Anyways... we didn't get to really do anything much there... but bought lots of food... hahaha maybe I should have told Joycie when she comes that most of the food would be made with coconut milk!! She hated coconut!! Oh... btw Joyce and Holly went with me... Anyways... after a long while of choosing which food would be best to try and eat without feeling nauseaus we tried chicken satay first... Joycie and Holly liked it so there you go... and we tried some Indo cake... but Joyce doesn't really like them because THEY HAVE COCONUT!! Teehee... sorry... and so.. because Joyce was still hungry but doesn't really want to try any of the Indo delicacies we went to this hotel that serves steak for $5!!! how good is the price?!?
Anyways... we went and order some wedges... sorry... I meant holly and I got some wedges instead... and we gulp the whole thing... hehehe... and because we were kinda tired anyway we went home... that was only for 2 hours... but good enough... since I bought some Indo cakes to bring home and share :P...
So... we went to Redfern station without Holly because she was catching the bus... and because we needed to go through Sydney Uni to get to the station again we went through Seymour Theatre and walk through it... and so Joyce began a tour around her beloved Sydney Uni and her engineering section... it was fun...
Btw... I do have pictures but unfortunately i didn't get any pics from Pesta Kampoeng because we were kinda occupied with the food for a while so no time for me to happily snapping away... but I get to snap some pics of the way home... or back to Redfern stat at least...
This is the way to the station... at first I was a bit reluctant because Joyce said she never went this way but 'supposedly' her friends told her this way is nearer to the station than taking the whole way back...
This is an err... I guess monument at the Seymour Theatre. I have no idea what this is actually so I'm just going to leave it for your imagination.
This is another strange sculpture that I thought looked a bit like an elephant... hmm... maybe I was delusional... but I'm open to suggestions...
This is another one too... it just so happened to be there... ain't that a coincidence... anyways... to me it looks like one of those funny looking benches that you sit onto... but otherwise... it looks like a waterfall...
This is the way to Redfern Station... and in this photo Joyce looked like she's "singing in the rain" get it?!? hahahaha sorry... bad joke... anyways... this was the way... notice the interesting building right in front? It looks very interesting...
And get this... they have their own little jungle!!! How environmentally friendly is that???!?? I never thought of it that was but a jungle within university compound is pretty strange... but I think it really is trying to be as environmental as possible... which is scary to me...
When we were passing the engineering section... with the bountiful nature and stuff... I noticed there are kookaburras!!! Honestly though... I've never actually seen them in real life just those nature pictures that look perfect whichever way you see them... So I took just enough... *big smile... it's cute... but it's noisy...
We went through rows and rows of houses that looks the same just in different colours... but it was kinda drizzling some rain so I put my cam away... but I managed to get one shot... and thought that maybe I shouldn't really attract attention with a cam on hand...
This is pretty strange according to me... I have never seen white doves running freely around the street... I have enough of pigeons that I thought this is a strange coincidence... so I took a photo... or two... before it started to drizzle again...
And not long after that... we got to Redfern Station and thus end the journey... through one of the largest uni I have been in plus walking around places I have never been to...
