For the first time, we took a backyard breakfast outside the house. Quickly we drove to Eastwood and parked the car at the roadside. We walked to its station and took a train (double journey fare: A$5.6) to Central Station, next onto another train to Circular Quay.
First we took a short walk around the Quay to take some photos of the Opera House, Harbour bridge and the Rocks. While waiting for Loretta, I bought souvenirs of a cap (A$9.9), two small animal dolls (A$4.5 each) and 6 key-chains(A$7.9).
Soon we met Loretta pushing Alison along in her pram. Not long we boarded “Sydney 2000” to start a harbour cruise with lunch round Sydney harbour. We were led to a table for six. I had the privilege of sitting near the window so that I could raise my camera any time I liked. It was an enjoyable lunch with steak/fish/dumplings with prawns as main course. The food was beyond praise.
The Captain Cook cruiser circled round the harbour, went under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, returned to Circular Quay to drop some of the passengers and then sailed round the Darling Harbour. Photo-shooting was in my first priority because taking photos of Sydney from the sea was completely different from that from land. Besides the harbour bridge, the Opera House was my main interest.Ally was really calm, biting at bread at times. She was the centre of interest besides our food! We bought 3 photos (A$10 each) from a crew who took them while we were at table. It was a two-hour cruise.

Waving good-bye to Loretta and Alison, we returned to Eastwood by train. We boarded our car and drove to a car-park near the station. There was free parking for 2 hours. First we went to see the shop of the travel agency which sold to us the air-tickets of this trip. Next we bought some vegetables and fruit from a supermarket. We pushed a cart with everything back to the car-park and went to take cups of drinks at Hong Kong Café at Carlingford.
It was a big surprise that we met Kenny on our way to a lookout to take a long-distance photo of the Sydney Olympic Park.
We went to Tim’s house which was on the third floor of an apartment house. When we went in, May and Tim were busy preparing dinner for us. Soon Kenny, Loretta and Ally arrived. We sat compactly at Tim’s dining table and took a good dinner. During dinner, Yin Ping asked how Yuen Siu and I got to know each other at the very beginning. It was difficult to answer Yin Ping’s question of why I liked my wife. After dinner Tim performed Karate and Yuen Siu Taitze in the sitting-room.

Pictures give much animation to writings. It is a very good idea to complement your articles.
Now you are at one of the prettiest harbours in the world! We are delighted to host a most enthusiastic guest. The way you see everything interesting is contagious and uplifting.
YOu know what! The Chinese cabbage we bought from the fruit market stayed in the fridge for one month before we cooked it. It was still good apart from the outer few layers.
May we give you a few suggestions on how to answer the question raised during the lovely dinner at Tim & May's place:
* She is sooo beautiful and attractive.
* She is sooo cute and so sweet.
* She have such a nice personality.
* I can't turn my eyes away from her.
* She just captures my heart.
* I can't stop myself thinking about her.
* She is God's wonderful creation to share my life.
Genesis 2:22-23 "Then the Lord made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man,and he brought her to the man. The man said," This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man,"
Hey, Adam had no choice but you have chosen Yuen Siu out of ( insert a number ). 窈窕淑女,君子好求。
From HO Keung & Yin Ping
