TGIF!!!!

TGIF....! Thank God its FRIDAY!!

although i wil be working full day tomolo.. bleah.. BUT its still FRIDAY! :)
everyone do a little wiggle....!!

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.
Watcha looking at??
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

Whale season!

Working on a wharf project brings the opportunity to see lots of wild marine life...
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.



there's always huge mantra rays cruising around....can be up to 2-3 m!


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