Sweet Strawberry Harvest

Its Strawberry season!! love it...love it.... love it!... big juicy deep red strawberries with honey...perfect match in heaven....would have loved to go strawberry picking!

got myself 2 punetts at $1.99 each.. great bargain... munched them dwn with honey in no tim

Most of you would probably know I’m quite a camera crazy gal. I had only an old Nikon film SLR fr my dad and that jus simply didn’t cut it.. tink of all the film developing costs! I rem buying my first DSLR back in Nov 04 when I attended a basic photography course. Shockingly its been already 4 yrs! Still rem I bargained and negotiated with my dad and managed to get him to pay half for the cam… haa.. citing that he would get priority usage of it… but I was the one who used it like 99% of the time.

I went through a phase where everything was about photography. I would go to fashion shots, marathons, parks, weddings, courses.. goes on n on.. I even managed to ace a spot on a wedding shoot in Melboune with a reknown wedding photographer. That was definitely a great learning curve! Really thanked him for giving a chance

but since I’ve started working up here.. its simply to difficult sometimes. So this passion of mine kinda got waylaid and buried till I’m on R&R or on hols… I still love it heaps though.. I suppose it will be something that stays with me for life …u can never say no to a good shot right ..

Some spring blossoms shots that I’ve taken on my time off… really beautiful and stunning flowers… jus make u wish it spring every time eh. Hope u like e shots as much as I did.
Jus love the tiny flowers bursting open here… the colours are simply amazing.
Some close up shots of the variety of flowers in bloom!…. Wishing I had a macro lens then!
Abstract shots of a huge tree with spreading roots, “life n death” shot of fresh spring weeds with brown leaves of last season and a curious grisly gecko suntanning while trying to read the sign

HAPPY F1 PRIX!!

FINALLY!! its the long awaited, biggest ever event for the whole year!! First city night racing in the world! right in singapore!! wow! tink flashy mean machines, droolicious speedy hunks and sexy babes... zooom zoooom ZOOOM!

Aww... i'm gonna miss out all the excitement being stuck up here.. will defintely be keeping updated on Foxtel sports! Have all the excitement on the weekend !!

Foodies Paradise

Yep… that’s right! I’ve been to foodies paradise….sluuuurrrrpp! *big lick smack on lips*… I’m a glutton.. oh boy.. and I am a very satisfied glutton! But glad I had someone to share gluttony with me HA! How good is that….

Viet food at Hawken… always reminds me of the good old uni days…*for brissy frens.. yep that shop is still the same! Looks the same! Except utensils n bowls have changed and prices up a bit*
Hot pipping Viet beef soup with rice noodles and finger lickin salt & pepper wings… was v tempted to get the Porkchop rice as well.. oh greedy me…. but simply couldn’t stuff in more

Hanachi.. another one of my bestie fav. Famous for being yummy, cheap and fast. They have a new branch in Indooroo now… was torn between chicken katsu curry and yakiniku.. haa.. finally decided on beef yakiniku… yum! Yum! Yum! Still reckon the branch at city taste better though…
A place where all students would know of for sure… Three Monkeys at West End. Great hangout place for coffee n cakes and usually pretty crowded. Love the atmosphere there… dim lighting with a tropical sorta feel with a mix mesh of asian resort furnitures…..That night there was a big group of musicians jus chilling out… and they started playing their percussions.. with drums, bells and wat have u…. relaxing sounds of Egyptian Asian influenced sorta music… with strong percussion beats drumming through…it was jus a great time.

Indulged in a chilled mocha topped with sinful white fluffy whip cream and a thin crusted pizza topped with perfectly orchestrated ingredients
Wah Korean restaurant at city was busy busy busy. Fully packed. Popular place for Asians, especially students. Managed to ace a spot and started ogling n pawing over the menu. Decisions decisions…. Hmmmm….

Settled on a hot n spicy beef stew soup and wats-that-called- claypot rice topped with beef slices and Korean stuff.. was definitely all smiles when the food arrived!

Shucks I’m out of food… hmmmmm…. wat else is there to eat?? Humph!



Warning: all these food wasn’t finished in day.. that’s wild food bingeing…I’m not that crazy (trying hard to see toes over tummy) It was simply 10 course meals taken over several days J *pat happy tummy*

China Scare...

Its scary wat the world is coming to. After the huge China milk scare… u’d probably never treat food labelled *made in China* the same again. U’d tink twice, thrice and read hard, doubly hard. Though this is not the first scare and recall, happened before to China imported products like fishes, prawns, children toys… u name it. But this is probably the first where so many China children are affected as well… Its chilling how unscrupulous humans can get jus to earn the extra profit and more so frightening as they inflict harm on their own people as well. As we all know and learned by now…Money is easily the root of all evil.

Sadly even my fav childhood sweet “white rabbit” is being recalled!! .. bugger…

To ALL Mummies! Pls pls pls double check the milk formula u getting for ur prince n princess!!

Big Catch

Australia Wildlife

Jus say Australia….. boxing kangaroos and sleepy koalas starts poppin in your head…. Its jus natural.
Here’s some of the natives animals that I hugged, carried, stroked and gawked at on my Tassie trip. It’s a really good wildlife park as they allow you to carry, pet n pose with the animals. Most other parks either dun allow touching or try to rip u off with pay-to-carry scheme.

p.s. hey mummy.. since no more tv for Enen.. here’s some free education shows for her ok – “Aussie Animal Show” Taddaa…

The kangaroo I posed with was HUGee.. easily taller than me at full height… ok ok *roll eyes* I’m not THAT tall but he’s still big ok.

On the top right Mr Itchy Skippy (Skippy is Aussie’s pet name for kangaroo). A hilarious sight as he tried to scratch under his armpit with his left paw! So human-like in this action.

Some national geographic action in place! First time I’ve seen a joey in mummy’s pouch!! Soooo cute ehh! And another feeding in mummy’s pouch too.. that’s a big bb!

Another famous Aussie icon. Known to be always chewing on leaves, super slow-mo up the branches or snoozing away with its butt wedged nicely against the tree.
Too bad we weren’t allowed to carry Ms Koala coz she was in one of her “bad moods” but we got up close n personal! Oh yeah.. they have super tough flat butts… that’s how they secure themselves in the trees for a nappa without falling off.

Something to ponder on.. Although Koalas are a native of Australia, they cant be found in Tasmania, this baby was imported from mainland Australia. Haa.. jus goes to show Koalas cant swim…
My BIG Favourtie… Wombats!!! They are really irresistibly cute! Chubby and furry.. and pretty heavy too! They have a big tough bum like Koalas too but its more for protecting themselves against predators as they scurry into their tunnel with their bums facing up when attacked. And boy dun be deceived by their chubby wobbly looks. They can shot off really quickly into the distance when scared or stressed.

Tassie Devils are found only in Tasmania. Dun they looks cute and pretty harmless?... wait til you hear them growl and scream…. Its REALLY HORRIBLeeee… very bloodcurling cry that sends shivers down your spine and goosebumps popping!.. I’m not kidding.. you have to hear it to believe… like a torturous animal/vampire cry u wld hear out of a horror film. Another reason they are also named devils because when they were first discovered, their ears were bright red in colour like the red horns on a devil. (u can c it in e pic)

oh boy.. and you think that’s all…. You have to stay til feeding time and see how these ferocious creatures go crazy at the smell of blood! Growling, attacking, fighting, spatting over the feed ( in tis case was the leg of a wallaby culled by farmers) they start chasing each other round n round the pen like whizzing Ferrari cars while snarling, howling and tearing at the meat. Now you know why they have such a bad reputation. Other than that, they are actually pretty harmless adorable tiny animals….really.
Less famous but super cute n furry Australia natives… the dark brown “mouse like” kangaroo will keep furrying n snuggling in to your warmest corner when you carry it. I love the white dots and the pink nose on the other one! *sorry.. cant rem their names. If you know wat they r called… u win J*
Simply Love the irony of this pic!

Kangaroo 1 : Humph ~ after being scrutinized and stroked all day, finally its our turn to people-watch.
Kangaroo 2 : Yeah! See that red baby hopping around? Mayb we should go pet her!
Kangaroo 3 : Hee hee….Let’s hop over to scare her.. BOO!
Ohhhh and lastly!! A kungfu panda wanabe!! Haa… even the colour matches! Need to work on the expression though! *oppss this is a China- import on Aussie visa*

The world’s most expensive pencil

U must be thinking… “how much can a wooden pencil cost?” at most a 100 bucks hand carved out of the finest wood maybe. That’s quite a hefty price tag compared to the everyday blue wooden pencil that probably just cost about $1 each. But the world’s most expensive wooden pencil commands an astronomical price of $20,800. yep that’s right! You din read wrongly, I din miss out on the decimals. It cost nearly 21 grand!...
So wat’s so special about this pencil? It comes with built in eraser, sharpener, an 18 carat white gold extender and 3 glittering diamonds studded on the cap beneath a count’s coat-of-arms. AND…. there’s only 99 perfect pencils in the world with 2/3 already sold! (where do these people find so much $ to spend man!) oh yeah.. btw its by Faber-Castell brand…

Babies Bonaza..

Isn’t it funny how we grow up in phases? Rem when we were young.. it was all about play hopscotch and recess time, then on to teenagers all we yakked about was ECAs, boy-girl relationships, hanging out with frens, as we joined workforce we would talk about shopping, our love-hate r/s with work, and slowly as the age creeps upwards, the conversation veers to weddings, flats and opps now BABIES!!...

A few more years we’d all probably be exchanging info on the best schools, best tuition centre and for sure year end papers.. haaa…

Being labelled as an aunty now brings shudders down my spine....yikes.. sounds like a death sentence where you’ve hit the thirties-forties phase for sure!…I definitely prefer to be called Jiejie anytime (hint hint mummy)

Age is definitely catching up.. but I jus LOVE how cute, tiny and adorable babies are!! some girlfrens have brave pains and labour to go through pregnancy.. and taddaa… having absolutely CUTE babies nw.


He’s got huge round eyes and fairest skin! And he giggles when you read Tang Shi to him!! Amazing!
She’s got the most flexible cutest tongue.. ever…and with amazing lung power! Next Whitney Houston!

Angmoh bbs always have the most amazing eyes!
Ohh ohhh… need to learn the pose for gong xi fa cai b4 CNY.

Also been watching this 2008 KBS Korean drama called 个妈妈三个爸
Synopsis: KBS水木剧，为精子症的朋友赠送精子的三个男人,与因为意外事故失去丈夫的母亲之间发生趣味小故事的罗曼蒂克喜剧.

This drama is a must for any to-be or new mummies… very heartwarming, hilarious and u’d definitely feel the pains and rewards of having a bb…and oh …the bb in the show is sooo cute tooo!! One scene for sure my gf has experienced… dodging flying bb poo n pee… haa.. I cant imagine that happening to me next time!! Gosh…but I guess bb’s poo will sure smell great! Especially when its ur own bb’s

Here's some of the big creatures that visited our site.

Magical dolphins having a playful swim just beolow the wharf.


Whale season jus got started... this was about 1+km away... whale showing of its acrobatic skills!


More flick and slap of whale tail nearer the wharf.

A scale to show how huge the mantra rays are.. compare that against the crew boat!
