My relatives came from overseas touring in Sydney, so I took them for a Jet Boat Ride in the Sydney Harbour. It was a hot day so getting all wet from the jet boat ride was fun, and we all got dry quickly afterwards. I got a few coupons which cost almost half price so that was a good deal. The cruise took us around the Sydney Harbour, pointing out various spots along the way while we were holding onto the rails tight. They did a few huge spins and swirls in which we got all wet but it was really fun. We had a great time.

We just bought our new car, a Honda CRV, from Scotts Honda in Artarmon. The staff, Sam Shak and Tim Roles, are really friendly and professional explaining details of the car, options of the finance and accessories etc. We had a test drive around the area as well. Queries were responded promptly with full information. We took our old car for trading in and they were happy to give us a little more discount on the ending purchase price. Drinks (orange juice and coffee) were served while we were there also. After sales services was offered as well and we will be taking our new car to the 1 month complimentary service in a few weeks' time. We are happy with the purchase.

Three beans Café has the one of the best coffee in the Sydney CBD. I have to buy from them every morning before I head back to the office. They open really early in the morning with good looking staff who is always smiling serving hot and strong coffee. The aroma of the coffee is really nice. They serve sandwiches and rolls etc as well. The shop is quite small but most people will just buy the coffee take-away so it does not really matter. The price is reasonable with soy milk always charging extra as usual. They only open on weekdays to cater for work office people and closes on the weekends.

I buy breads and egg tarts from Bread Top every week for my breakfast and afternoon. I like the tuna with egg bread, crab meat bun, curry beef bun and the egg tarts as well, especially when they have just been baked. They have green tea flavour, taro and coffee flavour swiss rolls too. They are always fresh. I also buy the birthday cakes for my family and friends' birthdays as the cakes look beautiful and taste delicious - not too sweet but very fluffy. My favourite will be the green tea with red bean cake and the chocolate gateau. They come in different sizes also to cater for big/ group of people. The prices are slightly more expensive than other Asian bread shops but the quality is worth it.

I go to City Medical Practice in Sydney City when I feel unwell as it is close to my office in City CBD, so I can pop in during lunchtime or before work. The clinic is always packed so it is advisable to book an appointment in advance. They always have a few GPs on duty so you can request for any GP with the shortest waiting time if you don't have any preference. They do bulk billing as well which is good for us. The receptionists and GPs are professional and friendly. There is also a pharmacy at the corner of the medical clinic, so it is convenient if you need to pick up any medications on the way.

Maisys opens 24 hours, 7 days a week and we love going there for late night desserts. I usually order the lemon lime tart and my husband orders the chocolate mousse cake. They have lots of drinks in their menu as well but I usually order the ice peach tea. The cakes are delicious, especially the cholocate mousse cake - it's warm when you eat it and it melts in your mouth. And they have free wifi and magazines there as well, so you can stay there longer if you wish. The staff are very friendly and I like seeing the little pulley going up and down with the trays of food going down from the kitchen upstairs.

Our work colleagues like going to Opera Bar after work for a few drinks winding down. The place and its settings is beautiful, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge at the front and the Opera House right next to it. You can catch the sunset as well if the timing is right. Lots of people come here so the atmosphere is great. Drinks are slightly expensive but it's still reasonable. They have all sorts of drinks avaiable. Most people stand but I prefer sitting down as my feet hurts when standing up in heels the whole night.

City Extra serves nice breakfast and other hot meals, as well as desserts 24 hours, 7 days a week. I love going there for lunch, sitting upstairs near the window, overlooking the busy Circular Quay area. They have an area sitting outside as well for the customers to soak up the sun. I like ordering the chicken crepe with salad and my sister loves the big breakfast. The portion size is quite huge. I also like how their menu is printed and presented in a newspaper format. The wait staff are friendly as well.

We love going to Pancakes at the Rocks for late night supper for catchup with friends as they open 24 hours, 7 days a week. They serve breakfast items on the menu the whole day and night and their famous pancakes are a must-order item. I always the strawberry pancakes and the chocolate devil pancakes to share. You can add a few more stacks of plain pancakes for an additional cost as well. They serve hot food also and I like the chicken pizza. The place is always full and there will be long queues during peak hours. When we go there at night, there will be cops on their night shifts coming in for drinks and pancakes so we feel very safe with them sitting around us.

One of my girlfriend has organised her Hens' party on the Wild Boys Afloat. We had great fun that night, it was fantastic! We met up at the Darling Harbour where they served us some champagne while we were waiting, and then we were brought onto the boat. We had a dinner buffet with chicken salads, bread and pasta etc. Unlimited drinks were included in the package. We had so much fun dancing the whole night and the shows done by the boys were awesome. They had a prize draw as well for a photoshoot and our group has won the prize. It originally cost a little over $100 per person but after negotiating with them on the phone, they were happy to give us a disacount. It was a memorable Hens' night!
