Reality Check

Just finished the second and last test of the Harder Maths. Mentally draining it may be, but definitely challenging and satisifying in the end. That is just the beginning of a long journey which I have to undertake alone. The final exam timetable is out. Guess what, I have 2 papers on the same day. What more can I say! But it is good in a way, as i can plan my retreat back to Melbourne earlier and Alice Spring and finally to Singapore, Home Sweet Home=))))

The Simpsons- Movie







I remembered vividly that my dear sister once commented that I watch The Simpsons just for the sake of watching it, without any attempt to understand the American jokes. That is totally rubbish!!!!! I love The Simpsons and I WILL catch the movie when I am back in July. Check it out!!!!

"Healthy" Lifestyle



Look at my unhealthy lifestyle in Australia. Nevertheless, I still can't gain weight. =(((( Someone please tell me WHY!!!!!

Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park- 20th April 2007
















After the failed ambitious attempt to conquer the Royal National Park, we next set our sights on the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. As there is always a reason for everything, we are sure that the adventure at the park will be equally unforgettable and eventful. Indeed, it was =))). Located less than 30 km from the Sydney City Centre, the reserve is primarily unspoilt wilderness. Pristine bushland, waterways, native fauna, jointed rocks, Aboriginal carvings and caves, beaches, bays and headlands are some of the many highlights of the national park. What greeted us in the intial stage of the trek was black ash-laden tree trunks though. This is because the park fell victim to bushfire a few months back. We continued our journey to the Apple Tree Bay ( though there is no apple at all=( ). Along the way, we saw many rock formations. Some were really hugh. This can be like a sneak preview to Uluru, Alice Spring and the Devil's Pebble, Darwin. There were also some Aboriginal carvings along the way which was a rare treat for us. We also came across a wild wallaby, which was looking for lunch. It was not until about 2 hours that we reached the Hawkesbury River. It was clearly a beautiful sight. The feeling was so peaceful... "I have peace like a river"....... TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!

Home -Made Kimchi (17th April 2007)


Staying at home and almost bored to death, I decided to make kimchi this time round. Remember the successful attempt on Chicken Curry the last time round ?=))) Kimchi is actually quite easy to prepare. Just slice the ginger, garlic, red chilli, onion ( I almost teared), capsicum, and carrot finely. Next is mix them together with red pepper powder and something " stung " sauce. Throw the Cheena Cabbage into the mixture, and there you have it----- Home-made Kimchi!!!!! No Kick man =((( Flora and Rou Xin, I also get to eat Kimchi in ang moh country.....
