Met up with a few other Xu doan's then went for a massive walk at Cliff-edge  It was such a long walk ! bought two trolleys full of food and drinks lol.

Like expensive stores at the top to cheap stores in the bottom level. There's a Food store for David Jones and a kg of a chocalate costed $120. DAMNN ! I would never buy something like that.

 After shopping we headed to the beach and played Ooooo since it was such a crappy cold weather :( It was super windy and cold ! After playing Oooo only 4 of us went for a quick dip in the beach. It was super cold but Yolo ! waited for the bus then we headed to the Opera house and went for a long walk to Darlning Harbour for some ribs at Hurricane.
