What I notice...

1. Fork is the utensil to go in Australia. Even when you eat "chap fan", it comes with fork instead of spoon. Spoons are only given if you are eating food which cannot be lifted with a fork, of course... soup.

2. Bolster is unheard of here. Hence, I have to settle with another pillow, but I still find it a tad too short.

3. You greet people with, "Hey, how is it going?" or "Hi, how are you?" instead of "吃饱了吗?"


Side note: Just a short one. I almost burst my upload/download quota, so no pictures

认真的男人最帅

Lost my flow of thoughts. But there’s just some time when some things happen and this phrase crops up in the head. There are not many moments that happen, but in rare few instances…

A couple of days ago, chatted with a friend over MSN and that thought crept past my mind again… nay, I shall not elaborate but… don’t you think so… ?


Side note: Don't crack your head over it... just one of my rambling...

冬の花

Tempted to post it up after seeing my sis's blog

Somewhere along the way to Blue's Point
Outside Milsons Point train station
By the road side
In Lavender Park
Lavender Park with Lavender Bay in the background
Random bush in Milsons Point
Random home garden
Along Lavender Bay
Also along Lavender Bay
From the same garden as the yellow flower


Side note: Had to go back second time to take pic of the tulips... cos the owner came home the first time and I not in time to take... didnt want the lady of the house to think I'm crazy :P

Temporary "backyard"

My first residence in Sydney is at Harbourview Medina situated in King Street Wharf and it has a great "backyard"... which is none other than Darling Harbour.






from outside of the apartment's balcony


Side note: And of course... it's one of the first places I went for a walk... its like a bigger version of Clarke Quay, in a way :P
