12 Apostles














Great Ocean Road with mom...

We took this tour from this HalfTix company and only paid half price for the tour but you can only buy the ticket one day before the tour and paid by cash...

The entire tour was absolutely mesmerizing to me but my mom reckons it is similar to Batu Ferringhi in Penang. What a waste of nature....

Go back time....

I have tonnes of pics to upload and so we will have to go back time ya???...

Last month, i went for a Winter Camp and on the last day, we actually went up to Mount Buller. I didn't ski this time but just played on the toboggan...lots of fun...

the camp was held at the foot of the mount buller and it was really fun....had some games and activities...met a lot of new frens...nice people...let me upload the pics and walk u thru it...

I do have more pics with Jia Ning, a Penang fren....but yet to get from her....

Sydney

Sydney...will be one visit i will rmbr for a long long time....

I flew to Sydney on my birthday....early morning, 6.15am flight with mom. Was kinda excited till i could hardly sleep. Slept for like about an hour plus and then had to get up to get ready. I have to say i was kinda moody then. Not a morning person i guess and the lack of sleep certainly ain't helping at all.

Was a little agitated till i reached Sydney.

Once arrived, mom's fren picked us up from the airport and went straight back to Uncle Ban's place. Settled down and off we go to the city for Yum Cha. Apparently i have the same birthday as Uncle Ban. So double celebration again. The Yum Cha is good...so much better than the ones in Melbourne.

Then went around the city...went to Darling Harbour...and then my granduncle insist he wants to go to the casino. So we all went. And again, i was stopped by the stupid security. Hai~!!! Then mom played the slot machines...and there was this one machine that is called "Pigs Can Fly." She purposely chose that machine to play cos it's the pig's birthday. Made me stand with her and press the buttons as well. She said the pig's birthday so should bring some luck. True enough, we won $25. Not too bad. Haha...the pig really flew....

After that, went for another dinner celebration, again paid by my uncle. We had dinner in chinatown. Food?? Not too bad...Dessert??? Superb...

Then head back home and on the way, met up with my cousin bro, Andrew. He just finished work and went home for a bath. So he didn't join us for dinner. Instead we tapao some food for him so all of us head home and he then ate the dinner.

Later, he brought me out for some supper and he is not full enough. Had some waffles and pancakes with ice-cream. Had a little chat or two....then went korean grocery shopping...and head back home.

That was pretty much what i did on my birthday. There wasn't anything wild but the idea of being in Sydney was just fantastic. And mom has paid for my flights, my trips to Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island in Victoria. I just cant ask for more. I told her that my best gift is just having her around here with me on my birthday or i would have felt really lonely.

What more could i ask for???

Birthday Celebration

Well, as most of you know, my mom is here to visit and she insist that we have a dinner with my hostfamily before she returns to sydney. And since it is Rupert's birthday on the 16th, we sort of had a double birthday celebration.

Nothing big and fancy. Just a proper dining at one of the Chinese restaurant in Toorak Village - Tooraking.

The waitresses suck big time. They can hardly understand English. Rather disappointed.

But nevertheless, the dinner was good. Paul and Janet is a little tipsy from the white wine they had. And we took a number of pictures....

My sister has been bugging me about taking a pic of my hostfamily...so this time i have officially fulfilled her dream. Hahahaa....My hostmother, Janet is very pretty and there is this picture of her in the living room where she looks so much like Princess Diana. Even my mom reckons she is beautiful.

Unbelievable? Believe it....

MIA

Yes...I am aware that it has been ages since i last posted something. I just didn't know there are actually people interested in reading my blog. Apologies to all for that.

So much things to update but i honestly have no time for that quite yet. I have pics to upload as well but not quite yet. I just got back from a Winter Camp and had a really good time there. I am dead tired - as usual.

I am in my final semester now. Can't believe it myself. I am actually graduating end of this year. How time flies. I can't wait for it to come.

Oh yes, mom's arriving Sydney today, coming to see me either on the 2nd or 3rd of sept. And i will be going in to Sydney with her on the eve of my birthday. So birthday in Sydney this time. Hopefully it's a good one.

Erm...what else do i have in mind???

Brain's not working as efficient after not blogging for ages. I do have tonnes to update but i am trying to just update what happened lately.

Oh well, just hang in there, be a little more patience with me and i promise more updates and pictures on the way.

Till then, have a great week people and Cheers to all.
