I know its been ages since i've updated any interesting stuff i've cook cause kinda lazy to take the pics.. hehe..
anyway, i try cooking curry chicken today and its quite nice.

It's Australia Day today!! Australia Day, celebrated annually on 26th Jan. It is the official national day to commemorate the first british to ever step foot on Australia in Sydney.

Typical girl film where the main actress Katherine Heigl has been a bridesmaid 27 times and been waiting for the right man for her to come. She doesn't say 'No' to anyone and always out to please others rather than herself. She met Mr Right at one of her friend's wedding and everyting just went on a roller coaster ride when she was preparing for her younger sister's wedding with the man she had a huge crush on, her boss.

Something you might wanna catch with your girlfriends. Nice and easy to 'digest' but don't expect anything extraordinary. But i do think Katherine Heigl's performance was pretty good.

The Australian Open has officially been open for 8 days and right now, there is this whole tennis fever going on in Melbourne, because it is held right here in Melb!! I don't watch tennis but i have no idea what got into me but i'm glue to the live broadcast and catching every match when ever possible. I really really regretted not getting the tix last year when they were up for sale!! Now, i can't watch it live from the stadium.. AAARGGGHHHHHHH.......

Oh, and this is Novak Djokovic. He's third in world ranking and he is really cute! But not in this pic. His younger bro plays the junior matches and just as cute too.. hehe

In the past, I used to wonder why some girls will 'check' on their bf or even husband mobile, emails and all that sort of things. Though we all know its invading the privacy of others but why do they still do that.

Now I know why. Some guys are real jerks. When their gf are away, they will try their luck. Even when the other person shows no sign of interest and not even available. Buying her flowers, asking to go out for dinner alone. Yuck!!!

What is wrong with these people? Why go screw things up when everything is going fine? Why do they have to cause so much trouble and bring pain to those that truly care about them? Do men really have a higher tendency to stray or is it because they can't stand to be alone by themselves?

Dar is on his way home.. I hate it when he's not around.

I have been waiting for this one since last year November. I would give this show a really high rating cause personally i really like it. Dr Robert Neville (Will Smith) was a virologist who thinks he is the only survivor in NYC after a mutated virus, which was once known to cure cancer, strike the world killing 90% of the world population. Out of the 10% that survived, only 1% were immune to the virus (people like Will Smith) and the other 9% were turned into some sort of creature that is afraid of the dark and hurts for food at night.

I think Will Smith really did a great job portraying his fear for the mutated humans but at the same time trying to find a cure for the virus and the daily struggle living in a world where he hasn't communicate with another living human being for the past 3 years. Highly recommended.

Went out with a couple of friends yesterday for some karaoke session and steamboat dinner. Both were really cheap where the karaoke was only 20 bucks per pax for like 4 hours and dinner was also 20 bucks for a buffet style steamboat.

But it was really a wrong day to go for steamboat because the temperature was about 37 degrees at 8pm. Phew! Hols will be coming to an end soon so its time to get back to work.

Caught this film on New Year's Day. I was really attracted to the trailer when it was shown in December. After the movie, i wasn't really that impressed. Before you catch this movie, be prepared to catch the 2nd or even the 3rd part of the story cause i think this might be a trilogy.

The story is about an orphan, name Lyra who live in another universe where human souls are reside out side their body onto an animal called daemon. In this universe, the magistarium tries to control everything and restricts freedom where Lyra's uncle (she later found out he was actually his dad) found a new way to contact other universe which the magistarium is preventing him to do so. Meanwhile, children from this universe are being kidnap by the so called 'Globblers'. Lyra's adventure begins when Mrs Coulter (Nicole Kidman) brought her on a journey to the North, possessing the Golden Compass that tells the truth to a trained reader .

I personally find that the show sped through the foundations and facts of the plot. Before you can get a grasp of what is really going on and why are they fighting, you are already seeing the war scene. Nevertheless, i really like the special effects that were given to the animals. I think the children's' daemons are the coolest because they have yet to stabilize and take any specific form, the animals can practically change into any type of animals.

Happy New Year to all!!!

We are having a really hot new year here in Melb with temperature shooting up to 42 degrees yesterday and today hovering at 40 degrees. It really quite unbearable and you will be sweating like a pig even if you just seating around.

The day is here! I'm going on a 5D4N trip to Tasmania. I was so looking forward to the trip months ago and here we are at Port Melbourne waiting to board our cruise.

After 10 hours on the Spirit of Tasmania, we finally arrived at Tasmania!!!!! I can't wait to get off the ship! Our first night was spent at Devonport.

After a good night rest, we started our day by first visiting the famous Cradle mountain. It was freezing when we reach the top but it was all worth it. The view was magnificent, the lake was calm and the whole surrounding was quiet and peaceful. Cradle mountain is also a place for people who love to hike and track.

While waiting for the shuttle bus to take us back down to our coach, we took a snap shot together.

We head straight to Sheffield after leaving the Cradle mountain. This little town is famous for its murals painting on the walls of homes, stores and shops. It was a real eye opener and many tourist were busy snapping picture of all the paintings.

Another mural that i really like....

Hahaha.. I was having so much fun 'playing' with the murals. Of all those murals pics that i took, i think this one looks very 'real'. The town was just cover with so many of these paintings and they all look so beautiful.

After lunch, we visited the Cataract Gorge in Launceston (2nd biggest city in Tas), It was amazing!!! The view was really fantastic and it was just so refreshing to see these kind of scenery which is consider rare even in Australia mainland.

Richmond was the first stop that we went to during our 2nd day in Tas. We first visited the oldest Catholic church in Aussie.

Before lunch, we visited this bridge that was build in the 1823. This is the oldest bridge that was build in Tasmania that is currently still in use.

Richmond was where we had our lunch. After some really yummy pies, we stroll around the town and check out what i saw. Ghost tour around the town!! And i actually see a couple of these signs around the town. Who is daring enough the try??

After an hour of delay because our coach broke down while we were having lunch, we finally set out for our next destination, Port Arthur. This place is very rich in history in particular, its prisons. Back in the 19th century, the British will sent their criminals to Port Arthur where they will be serving their sentence. This building here is the front view of how the prison looks like in the past.

After the prison was officially closed down in 1877, it was then damaged by several bush fire. Inside the prison, we can see that bush fire has definitely left obvious evidence on this historical building. But, modern engineering has allow the preservation of this building.

This is the rear view of the prison. Try imagine how the view will be like back in the 19th century when this view will only show thousands of prisoners labouring away. We had a guide who brought us around the prison and gave us a very clear and good commentary to allow us a better understand how the prison actually work. According to her, though there were some who try to escape they all got caught in the end. I would say this is my personal fav attraction for the whole trip.

The day ended with a visit to some nature's creation of rock formation like this one. This arch is called the 'Tasman Arch'. I think anyone who has visited the Great Ocean Road would find these arches pretty familiar.

The 3rd day started with a visit to the Salamanca market and the Hobart port. At this port, we gotta see these yatch that participated in the annual Yatch competition where they start sailing from Sydney all the way down to Hobart.

Next, we arrived at the Royal Botanical Garden in Hobart. In every Australia state, there is a Royal Botanical Garden and here in Hobart, this garden is being spread out on a 10 acre land. The flowers and trees were so beautifully manicure. There was even an area where veges and fruits were grown.

The weather was great for a walk around the garden. Seeing these lovely flowers, I couldn't resist the temptation to take some photos with them.

For lunch, we stop by a small town called Ross. Here, me and dar tried out the famous tassie scallop pie which is only made and sold here. We walk around the town and by passed this post office which the design of the building really caught my attention. I just love the old fashion look of it.

We were back on the cruise sailing back to Melb in the evening in time to catch the sun setting. Tasmania is very different from mainland Australia and I really enjoyed myself though the group that we join wasn't that fantastic. But all in all, it was really good.
