Surprisingly, I update my blogs more frequently during school term than during holidays. Maybe I am just too lazy.
School has ended. My final presentation went quite well, except for some weird comments. Well, these are some images of my presentation.Also, you can read my Project Report.

Will be posting a series of updated photos of the model. Below is a pretty much 60-70% completed model with the main buildings almost done without facades. The left is the research tower, the right is the greenhouse

Okay, I know I am not suppose to have the time to blog because I am rushing for the final submission in 2 weeks time, but I can't help to post some photos of my ongoing final model. My white giant mash-mellow turned giant Tim Tam chocolate bar.
It is still incomplete. I am yet to add in the river and my proposed buildings. Stay tuned!

This afternoon while I was marinating the chicken for dinner, I heard a faint knock on the door. It was the postman. He handed me a parcel which was sent, yesterday, by Jonathan.
Yesterday Jon did not want to tell me what he sent, so I waited today. To my surprised, when opened, I saw 2 round plastic container, with aluminum foil in it, wrapped inside a zip-lock bag. One is for Joanne, which he want me to pass to her, and another to Linda and me.
The first thing that came across our mind is, "Jonathan sent us food?!". We couldn't stop laughing when we found out what was inside.
Inside it were Bing Pi (Snow Skin) Mooncakes! Oh my! Couldn't resist the temptation, we cut it up and ate half of it. It was so nice! Thank you Jonathan!

3 years. 3 years have past. Time flies. Today is my last time celebrating my birthday in Tasmania.
Thank you Nic for the surprise and cake. Hiding at my work station without me noticing when I walked in and out of my room. Thank you Cheng Ngai for preparing the sumptuous dinner. Everything were delicious and mouth watering, dinner and cake. Thank you Linda for getting me out of the house to buy grocery so that Nic can enter the room to hide. Even-though I might have already anticipated someone will be at the house when I got home from the grocery shopping, I did not expect it to be Nic. Thank you for all who have prepared.

After trying 3 times, finally my snow peas are growing well. The first time was dead because I sow it late during winter. The 2nd time was destroyed by strong wind. The 3rd time I made sure no "natural disaster" will hurt my snow peas. They are now bearing peas and I can't wait to harvest and eat them!

The cleaning the minolta 50mm f/1.7 or f/1.4 can be easily done with a few simple tools. All you need is a squash ball, a small Phillips screw driver, a clean microfiber cloth, and a few oil absorbent paper, or just microfiber cloth. Instead of sending my 50mm for servicing to clean the oily aperture blade, I decided to do it myself. It's the simplest lens to DIY. Follow the steps from this site to remove the lens mount. You can remove the lens mount without removing the rear trim ring; it will come off in 1 set.
To remove the front trim ring, I improvised the crutch tip tool by using a squash ball (it has to be bigger than the front trim ring shown in the picture. It is also cut into half because I used that to raise my notebook). Because it is made of rubber, it gives a good grip to unscrew the ring. Just ensure that the ball doesn't touch the lens surface. You can slice away 1/3 or 1/4 of the ball if it touches the lens. You do not want to rub the rubber ball on the lens surface and damage the coating. Just turn anti-clockwise unscrew. If it is too tight, which it might happen, you need to push and turn with more force.
After removing the front trim ring, you can follow the rest of the steps from the website mentioned earlier.

The other day when I was making Kuih Lapis, I found something interesting when I remove the steamed kuih from the baking tray.
Does it looks familiar to you?
