December 2007

I have being to several places while crusiing through December and here is the list:

1. Eureka Tower (aka sky deck 88) with friends.
2. Chadstone shopping centre by bus 767 with sis.
3. Southland Shopping Centre by bus 631 with sis.

Looking down from Eureka Tower I see lots of dry gardens and interesting roof tops. Although the Yarra river water is murkey from Eureka tower it sparkled with the help of the sun of course. Going by bus to distant shopping centres we get more time to browse, as we don't have bro/dad rushing us to go home and i must say without a time limit on you don't end up implusively buying unwarranted items. My sister and I ended soaking up the atmosphere and participate in other services than just 'purchasing'. nice.

My most prized purchase would be a mini digital frames/clock.

There is a f*k up site which is notorious for defamation of ppl www.sexualrelationship.databse.com beware of such fraudsters.

Things to remember:
1. Werribee zoo bus 439 does not operate on Sundays.
2. Hadouken = fireball aka punch (street fighter).
3. MMS must be under 100KB.
4. Melbourne Cup winner was number 6 horse 'efficient'. Followed by [2] no 12 purple moon, [3] no 24 malher, and [4] no 9 zipping (my horse lost).
5. IME and fb combo winner is Chinese (Taiwan) and New Changjie. Apparently, Chinese PRC and MS pinyin IME doesn't display too well. Oh well.

6. Sound vs spell: for-ca-za vs Foccia.

7. PC issue: if it keep rebootn. Set 2 reboot fr CD. Reformat HDD. Therefore backup weekly.

8. 3G fone as modem to PC:Ntwk conn -> create a new conn -> conn2Net -> setup my conn manu -> conn using a dialup modem -> select modem w/ ph title as usb -> config dialup number as *99# -> U+P = Vodafone -> copy/shortcut 2 desktop.

Dear friends,

My annual leave was a bliss in waiting after a hectic non-break year in 2005. My four days in Sydney was half scenic and half negotiation. Reason for so being is my travel companion was my brother and he was mr negative most the time, as he hates the idea of being a tourist (but we are). We ended up only seeing major tourist spots from a far or worst from the map and no more. To make it worst he was indecisive about many things. However, i was persistent and ended up visiting: China town, Queen Victoria Building, Circular Quay, Darling Habour, Habour Side shopping centre, Haymarket + Paddy's market, The Rocks, Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park, Centrepoint, NSW state library, go on monorail, Kingsgrove, Hurstville, Orbit bar, Museum of contemporary art (saw Kienholz's "not my fault" photography that was on display), and Cremone point.

The weather for the first two days was pretty bad as it rained non stop on Wednesday 18th January and half of Thursday 19th. Friday 20th and Saturday 21st was balmy warm. I also met up with my NSW relatives and my friend, Arnold. We all had a splendid time hanging out. Indeed Sydney is bigger than Melbourne but the insides of their buildings is smaller than Melbourne and not very grand looking either. Streets of Melbourne offer more seating and trash cans. My leg got cramps by Friday afternoon. We walked more than we took local transport. The habour reminds me of Hong Kong's Kowloon port looking over to Hong Kong Island.

I miss Melbourne, Highpoint City Shopping centre, Collingwood, and Prahran very much. Home sweet home.
