Another Hair-Cut

Today, I had my second hair-cut in the week. Never thought i wld ever cut my hair within such a short time. However, after so much of tolerance of my bad hair over the last few days, daddy n mummy eventually got me to go for another cut. Finally, got some shape now, n my head feels much lighter. Although the aftermath of last cut still remains, i m much satisfied this time. I swear i ll never go to that stupid saloon again!

Merry Christmas

今個聖誕過得好嗎？聖誕大餐吃了嗎？雖然我不注重聖誕，但我喜歡借題發揮，與親朋戚友開開心心吃一餐~

粤暉園

粤暉園一日游。對于$60的門票, 我們都只有同一個評價—真是好過去搶，難怪裏面没多少人。不過風景不錯，我和媽咪都不惜一切盡情利用我們的新相機。再説一家人難得可以開開心心玩一天真好，如果哥哥也在就好了。

Life Taken

Today when going out for grocery shopping with parents, we witnessed a fatal accident on our way back. Horrifying was the word. The young boy, with brain matter throwing out of his skull, was lying in the middle of the road, covered with blood. No first aid. No life saving. No one even went offering a hand. Everyone was by-stander, watching as if it was just a show. Does the education level of a country make the society acts in such an inhuman sad way? With no respect of human life? I wonder if someone actually tried saving that boy, would he be saved? What a sad display of this under-developing country…

冬至要吃湯圓

“湯圓making” Take TWO. Returning to China in the afternoon, and without further ado, Mummy and I started our “湯圓making”. With my previous experience at 18 Marshall + Mummy’s old memory of my Grandpa’s 湯圓, we kneaded the dough with laughers, joy and love. Haha… Mum kept saying my dough look too dry/un-sticky/unfamiliar to her. But nevertheless, we balled them up into individuals, crossing my fingers n hoping my 湯圓 wld somehow turn out alright. Haha.. Guess what? This time they looked n TASTED like 湯圓!! Daddy n Mummy were quite satisfied though not very sweet. Haha.. Now we kept some in the freezer for Koko to try when he comes back. Yeah~!

Modification Me

Early this morning, I went to see the dentist to get my decayed tooth fixed. Ha.. The dentist told me my teeth are very healthy except for this small hole, but now fixed. This dentist visit allowed me to learn an economic fact. It is much cheaper to buy tons of toothpaste n brush my teeth twice a day than visiting the dentist once in a blue moon. (my face almost turned green when I paid…) So I must keep my teeth clean! Anyway, after that, I went to the hair-dresser, planning to trim n tidy up my one-semester-long hair. However, the hair-cut was very very unsatisfactory. The stupid hair-dresser simply cut my hair short in length n not improving the overall look. I look so nerdy now. I m cursing him so often now. *argh!!!* At night, I went to watch 大戲 with Mummy + 3 aunties. Honestly, it was an auntie activity (the hall was filled with aunties over the age of 50 in average!) but I just joined in to have a greater understanding of the Chinese traditional art. The costume, storyline, n even the enthusiasm of those aunties in fact surprised me. 50+ year-old hot fans!! Hahahaha…

** Yes, bought a new di-camera! So happy! =D

Back to Hong Kong

Third day back home from Melbourne, or my fourth?! Ha.. I lost count of days already. Life back home has always been busy. I went out everyday. 18th was the HKU visit with Daddy, 19th went for cable car ride + visit to Da Ou, n today I was at the Wetland. For now, let's pictures speak louder than my words....

On Cable Car with Mummy

With Mummy at 心經林

Sunset~ Awesome!

At Wetland with Mummy

Go Mine Gold

Go Mine Gold! A day trip to Ballarat, Sovereign Hill. Although the day started a bit late for lazy sleepers, n we indeed lost our way there, we managed to reach the gold mine before lunch. What an interesting place to visit. We got to see what miner life was in the olden days. Did some mine tours, watched the shows n experienced a little of gold mining in a dirty river. Haha.. However, it was a pity to have limited time there. But nevertheless, it has been a long happy day, but definitely tiring for our two destinated drivers. Thank u.

For these few days going out with friends' parents, it was really funny. We all have transformed back into kids~ Was treated like kids, n in turn, acted as kids.. Hahaha..

Grad Day

14th Dec - Graduation Day 2006. Today I witnessed five of my friends graduating, who included my best buddy. Running from one studio to another.. Handling the families for friends.. Taking photos n more photos.. But honestly, really, i can say i did not regret staying back in Melbourne for today as I was there to withness my friends' big day. I felt the joy, contentment, satisfaction, thankfulness, pride in the eyes of the graduads as well as the parents. It wasn't like watching a show anymore, i was simply infected with the happiness. Really hope that next year this time, I ll be doing my parents proud too~

Kheng Ling, Victor, Wan Yi, Me, Song Yee

Me + Kheng Ling

They are all getting anxious!

They are all getting anxious for the Big Day! 2 more days~ Many parents are arriving - Tammy's family came on Sunday; Wan Yi's this morning & Kheng Ling's tomorrow morning. I believe Melbourne is now crowded with parents~ Very happening indeed. For me, i feel very much like watching a show, but which, also requires me to learn dealing with uncles n aunties. And of course, I m trying to be a good host for Kheng Ling's parents - managed to clean my house yesterday n wash my car today. Yup, already! Anyway, meanwhile, as the day approaching, it also means i m going back home soon, calling an end to my holiday in Melbourne. Will be seeing my family again, but also leaving my friends behind.

算了, 開心就好~!

雖然對于今天無故cancel的Berry Farm Trip有點失望及不满，但最终在Wan Yi's 家spent 的一天還是很開心的~ 今日幇Wan Yi packing, 但是忙了一天，我們把她家越搞越亂，弄到像“爆格" 一様~ 沙塵滚滚，一身臭味，但是都樂在其中~ 没了Berry Farm, but 算了，開心就好~!

Weather Too HOOOOT!

If there is anything I dislike about Melbourne, it wld be the hot hot weather during summer. Today is 39C! OMG! I feel like melting now. Even the wind from outside is hot. Hai~ Pls cool me down~~

Dietetic Outing

Dietetic outing at the Dockland. Haha.. Today I had a happy dietetic outing with Janet, Sara, Wen Chiann n Kheng Ling (dietetic?!). Lunch wasn't much special but our laughters on our own stupidity was the highlight. It was joyful to spend time catching up, n learning what one another have been doing for the holiday. We go through the academic hard times together, which makes our bond stronger. Just a few words, n I could feel it - the friendship. Anyway, i really did feel extra comfortable today, with my dietetic friends.

Anyway, heard a scary news today. More than half of the Alfred 4th yr were given supplementary.. And one more international is joining us next yr.. Is it sounding more n more scary? OMG~

Shrine of Remembrance

A day visit to the Shrine of Remembrance, a landmark in the Royal Botanic Garden for the remembrance to brave soldiers died at the great Australian wars. The architecture of the Shrine was built with contributes of mathematician, architects n some genius n put together a unique feature the Ray of Light. Although we missed the 11th Nov, n today isn't really any special ceremonial day, we decided to rock up this place anyway.

With Kheng Ling n Wan Yi, I think the sad sacrifice of the soldiers has simply been washed away. We in fact had laughed our way through the visit. We were silly at times. Hahahaha.. Look~~~Trying to pretend to be Horses~~ Hahaha...

Befriending the Aussie Wildlife

A trip to Healesville Sanctuary today. I must say i was proud of myself driving such a long way there~ Haha.. Anyway, it was really nice to spend a day in the nature, seeing n learning about the Aussie animals. When u go learn something new, u realise how little of this world u know. I might be knowing human nutrition well, but when looking at Koala food, i was amazed. It was funny to know they actually eat shit. Hahaha.. Oh well, then somehow the koalas were so hyperactive today. This super lazy bear actually did some climbing, walking, jumping n eating for us. I think Kheng Ling n i were so impressed with them that we actually spent an hour taking photos of them. They are just adorable!! Ha... Besides, we got quite a few nice shots of the platypus~ Um.. yes, definitely a nice day-out.

3D Movie

First time watching a 3D movie, n it was cool. After the day interesting visit to the Melbourne Museum, we proceeded on to the IMAX next door for the 3D Open Season cartoon movie. When the movie started, n figures were jumping out of the screen, Kheng Ling n i couldn't help but to gasp. Dinosaurs walking right into us, raindrop falling right onto our legs.. I could feel to be at the scene itself! It was silly but really fun, to my opinion. Although our choice today was a cartoon, which might have made the effect less admirable, I did enjoy the technology. It was no doubt an experience. :)

Release + Relief

Held my breath.. Thoughts ran through my mind.. For the fear of undesirable academic results. Yesterday was the unofficial day for result release, everyone applied for the sms results was either hiding the mobile under bed, or clutching the phone tightly for the whole day. Anyway, i was happy for my results, which is not excellent but satisfatory for myself. On top of that, it is good to see joy n simley faces around. Friends passing their last semester n waiting for graduation.. Some achieving unexpected good results.. Ha... The results mark our hardwork, sweat, n tears of the semester, n assure us that we are capable n good in our work. It is the real joy.

Start anew

Starting anew here, for the encountering technical problems in Yam Blog. Not to mention my constant struggles with the Taiwanese Chinese used. Ha.. I got so frustrated to know the blog was changed 2 days ago which complicated process for simple login, which indirectly required me to read more chinese. (curse) No No No.. Don't take me wrong. I do like chinese, it is just the IT chinese language that makes little or absolute no sense. Anyway, i m now turning back to blogger. Hope i can keep this longer. Oh, thanks for keep reading my blog.
