Dandenong

郁金香
如果时间允许的话，可以到 Dandenong 去欣赏郁金香（Tesselaar Tulip Festival）。开放日期是从九月十一日至十月八日。更多详情可以到官方网站查询http://www.tulipfestival.com.au/。

建议你为鞋子准备一些塑胶袋，要不然后果就像这样。。。。。 +_+

欣赏完郁金香后可以到山上去看墨尔本的景色,或者到附近的 Winery 品酒。

Puffing Billy

有兴趣的话,还可以到 Puffing Billy 去尝试澳洲有名的古老蒸气火车。当火车停在 Lakeside 站的时候, 游客都喜欢下车到附近的湖边公园去野餐。

蒸气火车不是骗人的哦!

你也可以像他们这样把脚放到窗外坐, 别有一番滋味的。

23rd July 2008

Happy Birthday to You.

It's a Happy Day to You, but Sad Day to Me.
You eat, I pay.
You got your new wallet, I got my mobile lost... :~(

任性

2008-07-17T02:40:00.000-07:00

我任性。对, 非常任性
看中的东西都会想尽办法去得到。
对他任性的时候，就来个一哭二闹三上吊！
看中衣服，鞋子，首饰的时候，就省个几餐。
可是这次我却任性不起了。。。
好不容易看中的结婚晚礼服因为挡期的关系借不到
度身定做吗? 这钱可不是我任性得起的。
上演一哭二闹三上吊吗? 谁理我? 吊死了还不知道什么事呢!
heh! 任性不起这种感受还真难顶, 气死我了!!!

维多利亚, 澳洲

2008-07-15T08:09:00.000-07:00

洁仪定了机票到澳洲去观光，要我为她介绍些旅游景点。哈，墨尔本，难不了我吧，在那儿留学的几年并不是假的哦！嘴巴上介绍了几个景点，心里却想着回家去弄个图文并茂的介绍书。谁知翻转了整个电脑，才发现原来平时常去的地方，都没有拍照留念，真失策！

就让我用仅有的一些照片，加上我零碎的记忆，简单的介绍一下维多利亚的好去处吧！

Great Ocean Road

来到维多利亚，当然要到 Great Ocean Road 啦！

如果自己驾车去的话，记得在上图每一个著名的景点都停一停哦！

天气不好，乌云密布。我就告诉你, 我一下车就下雨，看，有图为证！

到 Great Ocean Road 的话，记得到 Warrnambool 去，可能可以看到 whale 哦! 据说它们会在六月到九月之间出没。可是我上一次七月去就没有看到，还真不够运的！

Sovereign Hill, Ballarat

古色古香，历史浓厚，一个非常值得参观的地方。离墨尔本市区大约一个小时车程。

嘿嘿，刮金去吧！

在这里可以为蜡烛添上自己喜欢的颜色

也可以参加个 Gold Mine Tour

我身后的就是些古色古香的店铺

有卖衣的

有酒吧

有银行

有可爱的老伯伯

友善的阿姨

还有像是要打枪的 *_*

有发黄金梦的 ^-^

口渴了，要自己打水...

待续。。。（悃了）

C: We should place a mirror in the living room and master bedroom, it’ll make the living room and bedroom look more spacious…
A: Brilliant!!!

C: The walls are too plain in white color; maybe we can build a wood panel on one side of the wall like the show house.
A: Hmm, good idea!

C: Hmm, there’s this walkway here, but we want to enclose the kitchen. I think we should ask someone to tailor make a display unit with lights to conceal this walkway, what do you think?
A: Good, I like it.

C: We should custom make a ceiling high shoe rack here, and a bench with cushion top so that we can sit down nicely to wear shoes, good?
A: Of course!

Weeks later….
Z: A wall size mirror at least cost few thousand…
C: I think we should postpone this mirror idea, hor?
A: yealor…

G: Sir, to make some wooden decoration on one side of the wall should cost you at least RM3k.
C: Wow, that’s expensive…
A: Wow, then we gotta drop this fancy idea…

G: Mr, the estimated cost for this tailored made build in display unit plus a wall to conceal the walkway is RM3500.
C: *_*
A: ….

G: And the shoe rack and bench should cost you RM2800.
C: -_-"
A: -_-

Too many ideas, too little money… -_-

Stonehenge, England

2008-06-22T21:37:00.000-07:00

Stonehenge, one of the earth mysteries. It is surely Britain's greatest national icon and it's original purpose is still remian unclear. Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe that the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.

The Phantom of The Opera

2008-06-06T15:49:00.000-07:00

The Phantom of The Opera is definitely a musical that you wouldn't want to miss. I was so glad that I got the best seat to enjoy this seamless masterpiece, thanks to my sister! Althought I have seen the movie years ago, but it's truely different for an orchestra. It’s SPECTACULAR in every sense of the word. I really enjoyed it so much, the live band, live singing, special effects, lavish costumes and stage settings... all and all, truely magnificent!!!

Dream came true...

2008-06-06T15:20:00.000-07:00

以为已经觅得最好的，事实却不是。
领悟，却已太迟。
伤心，于事无补。

就这样，一辈子。。。

我说的是。。。。婚纱照啦！

一些朋友看了之前的帖子都私底下问我发生了什么事。

本来以为找到了一间很棒的婚纱店，结果令我太失望了。

我梦想的美丽婚纱照看来真似冻过水了！*sob sob*

Cotswold

2008-05-28T03:38:00.000-07:00

Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful areas in England, the Cotswolds, with its unique stone-built heritage, gently rolling hills and broad valleys, is an ideal destination for the discerning visitor.

Part of the famous movie, like Bridget Jones's Diary and Stardust was filmed in Cotswold. In startdust, the mythical village of Wall is actually parts of two medieval Cotswold villages. The Lake District village of Bibury, lined with natural stone cottages. And, the lushly wooded village of Castle Combe, virtually unchanged since the 12th Century.

Bibury
William Morris called Bibury ‘the most beautiful village in England’ and it remains most attractive in its setting alongside the river Coln.

Bouton-on-the-Water
Probably the most popular village in the Cotswolds, and often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds because the River Windrush runs right through the centre. The combination of this clear sparkling water and the attractive low bridges crossing it create a charming scene.

The Slaughters
It is a Conservation village in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The village has been used frequently as the setting for both commercial and fictional film and television productions.

Staddle Stones

Stow-on-the-Wold
A hill-top town and famous as a centre for antiques, Stow has a long history and probably dates from a prehistoric fortified settlement on top of the hill.

The Oldest Inn in England

Obviously, I have no problem on this...

Who can do a before & after like this???

On-the-Way Home..

Flowers grow naturally here... isn't it nice?

7th Day in London

2008-05-23T10:41:00.000-07:00

Had my favourite Burger King today.

Hmm, delicious but one whopper value meal cost around RM35.

Just too expensive...

6th Day in London

2008-05-21T12:45:00.001-07:00

Shopping day, too many things to buy, too little money.. =(

5th Day in London

2008-05-21T10:30:00.000-07:00

Never had breakfast like this since I left Melbourne... simple yet nice...

4th Day in London

2008-05-20T10:17:00.000-07:00

19th May, I got nothing to do but stay at home. To recover a bit from jet lag. =D

3rd Day in London

2008-05-20T09:44:00.000-07:00

18th May, I took a train down to London City. Had my lunch in the city and walked around the city. I like the building in London city very very much, the city is full with old style building, very different from those modern type of building in KL.

The only sad thing is ..... the living cost is too high here, especially the travel ticket... =(

2nd Day in London

2008-05-19T04:14:00.000-07:00

Woke up at 6 a.m. in the morning to go to
fish market (Billingsgate Market).

Baby Shark selling in the market.

Da Dang... Delicious Dinner!!!

1st Day in London

2008-05-19T01:25:00.000-07:00

16 May 2008, I started my long holiday to London. After 13 hours flight, finally I arrived at the city that I have long dreamed of to visit. It was 10°C, colder than I expected.

It happened...

2008-05-19T01:04:00.000-07:00

It happened... on 10th May 2008.

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

2007-07-18T21:49:00.000-07:00

I read this from a forward email and find it quite interesting...

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese Legend...

Thumb represents your Parents

Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings

Middle finger represents your-Self

Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner

& the Last (Little) finger represents your children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (As shown in the figure above):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

Please try this out......... .... ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?
