New Year Resolutions.

Time Flies by so fast.

Soon, I'll complete my degree. Then where is my path headed?

No one knows. Life is set by the path chosen by God.

The new year resolution listing is back again.
1. Improve my financial standing and education.
2. Pay back my debts to my parents before hitting 32.
3. If I can, start a business with Kenny and Mr Fok.
4. Further improve my skills in photo-taking.
5. Further improve my friendships with others.

Changes so far.

Over here, I learn that I shouldn't be living telling myself that I will not be able to afford things. Instead of saying, "I can't do it", I should ask myself, "How can I do it?"

I'll continue this entry another day. Going to zzz.

Merry Christmas!

Spent my xmas eve and xmas with Yu Zhen and her friends, thank you for the dinner and the invitation.

Thanks Edna and Jake for the Xmas card.


Wow, I saw lotsa people at Uncle Michael's place today.

The sight was so heartwarming. So many people there, although I am not there with them, I really feel the warmth. Its' really clear that I became a bit fat, so please stop rubbing it in. I'll try to lose some weight before coming back, ok?

The pictures taken during the brief conversation:


Happy 1st Picture.


Happy 2nd Picture.


Happy 3rd Picture.


Happy 4th Picture.


Happy 5th Picture.

I'll work hard to achieve my goal. Merry Christmas to all.

Cravings for Singapore food.

Awww..spending xmas alone sucks.

Luckily, a friend invited me over to her place on xmas eve. Phew. Wonder how will the weather be like tomorrow?

The weather nowadays is nuts. Rain, then 5 mins later Sunny then rinse and repeat again. So people around Melbourne or coming, do remember to bring a certain raincoat or umbrella here. I hope one day the city gets flooded, and yay no more flies. They fly to your faces, spects or any other orifice that they can go in. (Eg.ears, nose, mouth).


Food i miss. for now.
1. Bak Kut Teh.
2. Prawn Mee.
3. Pig trotters.
(Withdrawal symptoms.)

Updates for the week.

Just wanted to write some stuff before going out.

Some updates for the week.

1. Joined the school's gym membership.

Went for my first body balance class which is a combination of Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates. Found the experience extremely relaxing, although there were only three guys in the whole of the class. Would definitely be going back for the next lesson. Starting working out as well, at least 2x a week. Definitely be going for more once everyone leaves.

2. Helped Daniel to get his 'sunburnt' hair.

Nah, basically it's just dye. but sorta achieve shades for him, compared to my own personal one, where my entire head is more or less brown. Poor Daniel, he has yet to know when are the dates of his papers.

3. Went to Dandedong with Ah Xiong's family. The pics can be found here.

Went to Dandedong with Ah Xiong's family. His daughter was really cute. Always tagging along with me and she looked the cutest while feeding the seeds to the birds at Grant's Picnic Ground. Enjoyed the trip with them alot, though there was a very naughty boy around. =P


Toying with my camera pouch.

The Cutest Pic.


A Self-Pic...Arr!


Just outside Uncle Albert's place.


Dinner @ Sofia.


4. Attended my friend's graduation ceremony. The pics can be found here.

When I stepped out of the house, I thought this would be one trip that I would regret, as I was left behind with most of my cohort graduating. Instead, I found that it serves more as an encouragement for me to complete my degree. And get what I deserve. Now, I would just have to focus on passing this paper of mine, and carry on with my life.

My Dandedong Adventure.

Went to Dandedong over the last 2 days. What can I say about the countryside?

1. The air is superbly fresh and sweet somemore.
2. The 'friends' there damn alot.
3. The scenery is really great.
4. The carefree feeling is there.
5. Devonshire Tea rocks.



Panaroma View on the mountain-top.

Devonshire Tea.


Cute robo Dog.


Alot of 'friends'.


Great view of the skies.


Superb view of the skies.

What I find about the trip there, was that the GPS sucks. It doesn't really give the proper location.

Well, during Irene's birthday, I was rather disgusted at her friends from the apartment block. They were so self-centred, we tried talking to them, but I guess there would be better results chatting to a wall. Well, maybe not including Brenda, but I didn't really like the rest of them. They actually brought a camera to take pictures for their own sake and they did not even actually ask Irene to take pictures with them.

Don't know why there are such people.

Anyway, back to my trip. The journey there was rather long, and yes, I got carsick yet again. We went to Grant's Picnic Ground. My first thought was when I stepped out of the car, the air was really fresh. And I saw some kookaburras there. A really cute and fat bird. Bought seeds to feed the birds there as well, rosellas, king parrot, cockatoos and galah. Couldn't find the lyrebird though. Don't know where the hell it was.


A Galah.


A Rosella.


Scare of the day.


Feeding time.


A King Parrot.


A Cockatoo. Damn heavy.


A Kookaburra. Freaking FAT bird.


An open conversation.

Then went down to stay at Aunt Jennifer's place. Really nice. Alot of rooms. Got golf course and superb cloud view as well. Plus a natural reserve. I don't know what should I bring there on the 11th. My jackets perhaps. Then what should I leave here? 1 suitcase and some clothes meh? To last me till end of Jan.


Me with Uncle Albert.

The trip back...well it took me 2hrs plus to get back to the city. All the pictures can be found here.

Weekly Updates...once again

Lazy to blog everyday, so this is going to be a weekly thingy.

Well, my little sister is in town, and since I haven't spolit her for almost a year, this elder brother has to get stuff for her! But I'm really pissed with the school's arrangement of not letting her go out on her own, not even if she is accompanied by her own brother. Where's the fairness?

From what I have deduced, the hotel that she is staying in, has absolutely shit security, since I can just walk in and out as I please. The rooms look sorta just a teeny bit better than the place that I'm staying in.

Some pictures we took.


Krispy Kreme!!!


Posing with a Doughnut.


Brother and Sister.

So what did I do this week? Besides going out with Jerome and friends to Sofia, not much was done. I really should send some emails to Aunt Jennifer and Ah Xiong, to confirm when they are coming to Melbourne...Aww, and I can only spend so little time with my sister.

Some Pictures with Jerome and friends.


Jerome and Friends.


The gang @ Sofia.

I just came back from a Jazz club via Irene's invitation. It's my first time to a Jazz club in Melbourne and I kinda like it. Took some pictures for Irene, and well, they can be found here or on my facebook.

Some Pictures taken.


The Girls of the Group.


Me and Brenda...


Irene taking the picture with us.

And...not to forget.

The Dumb and Dumber Duo. :P

I used to didn't know what was the idea of watching the Simpsons, but I realized that I pretty much love the show and the dumb antics of Homer.


Being part of the family. =P

P.S : Xiqi....the simpsons pic can be found here.
