Winter Trip and Good News!!

I had a great time at Cradle Mountain last Friday and I will like to go back one more time during summer. Also, we visited the Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot. It’s the best maze I ever went and it is huge!

Lastly, I had good news to announce. Yesterday, it was my first day for Winter Elective. But that’s not the good news. The good news is that I found m 6 years long lost friend! Finally he tried to contact me on my Singapore Woodlands home and called for my youngest sister and asked about me. I can’t believe he still has my MSN address. He is really some true friend who still keeps my home number and MSN address.

Snow and Fun

I had a extremely fun and exciting weekend touring the southern part of Tasmania. We head off to Port Arthur. Along the way, we stopped by Richmond and visited the Old Hobart Town Historic Model Village.




What are they doing? O.o

Then, we went further down the road to challenge the Maze. I had trouble getting out of the 2nd maze. In the end, I took a short cut by crawling under the divider.


Maze 1

Port Arthur penal station was established in 1830 as a timber-getting camp, producing sawn logs for government projects. After 1833 it became a punishment station for repeat offenders (at least 2 twice) from all the Australian colonies.






A pathetic small cell.

The Chapel in Separate Prison.




It is so narrow I have to walk sideways to get in.


The Church (1837)

Saturday morning, we head down to Hobart Salamanca Market and Mt Willington. To our luck, there is snow up there! It was so crowded with cars and people and cars are anyhow parked along the road up to the tip. We managed to slot into a “lot”.

We had lots of fun throwing snow balls at each other. We made snowman and chicken and some animals. I wish I could spend more time playing in the snow!









Later next day, we head to the Airwalk and swinging bridge. Not for the faint hearted to cross the swinging bridge. No la… its not that scary actually. Hehe. It is nice to revisit these places since I last visited them 4 years ago.




The Airwalk Cantilever.


Swinging Bridge.





Lastly, the Moon during the afternoon. We also missed the last tour to Hasting Cave at 3pm by just 10mins. Went all the way there and that’s the last tour. It is just not our luck that day. We should do our homework before any trip.

Headache + Bad Day

I have my tolerance limits. There are some things which I can just forget it, and accept it, but there are some things which gone too far and I just can’t tolerate with that kind of stupid act. I had a very bad day last night. Someone did something which pissed me off. It is, to me, a very stupid act. Someone can just change totally in front a girl. As what one of my friend said, maybe he just wanted to impress the girl and wants everything to be perfect. But it is just so stupid.

This morning, a lot of things doesn’t work well for me. My mind is not working. I used my mobile phone in the patrol station, but luckily nothing happen. I went to buy lunch, paid for the purchase, stood there, and the cashier was shouting over at me to go over to the cashier counter. I took my car for servicing, and I did not have enough money with me for the charges. I just dun feel very well. Now, I have a headache. I think it just sucks.

Tamar Valley Touring Route, Tasmania

Today, Edwin, Sandy and me went for a short half day road trip up north along the Tamar Valley to George Town and Low Head. We also stopped over to pick oysters at one of the rocky beaches and Batman Bridge. I wonder why they named it after Batman. Then, when we were “cruising” along the minor road below the bridge, we realized that oysters are all over the river banks! Not high grade oysters of course.

Kranji War Memorial

Well, I should not be doing this, but I am just too tired from work and I wanted to get some time off them. So, I went down to Kranji War Memorial earlier this afternoon and took some shots and done a bit of Photoshop editing.



tata…











Yeah right, I was at Kranji earlier today. How can I? This shot was taken a year ago. 20th May 2006. Just 1 year 2 days ago.

Singapore Dreaming

I think by far, this would be the best movie I ever watched. Singapore Dreaming, the reflection of the society in Singapore. Thought it is a bit exaggerated, but it is true in all aspect. Not comparing the living standard in Singapore, it is of course stressful when it comes to work and studies. Nevertheless, it is still a wonderful place to stay in.

Great movie, worth a few more watch… hehe… going to watch it again when I can grab on the DVD.
