Memories from the honeymoon

We were in Melbourne from 6 June till 13 June, a good one week. It was turning winter in Melbourne with temperatures of between 7-13 degrees. A good change to the humid and hot weather in spore. How I miss Melbourne :)


Just outside the Federation Square. Somewhat similar to our Esplanade where the art scene and funky cafes are. On the night that Australia played against Japan, they screened it on a huge screen for the Fans to cheer the Scocceroos.


This is a must eat place. Was highly recommended to me by my cousin and I have since been there twice when I'm in Melbourne. The pancakes are so Yummm!

We're here in Geelong on the second day as we make the drive up to the Great Ocean Road.


Alexis is here with the famous bollards that are scattered around the beach. A adorable icon of Geelong.

We have finally reached the famous scenic road of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road.

The sights are a wonder to behold as we hear the crashing of the waves and feel the breeze in our hair. The coastal ride brings you so close to nature and so close to God as we marvel at the beauty of His hands.





Check out the red sky. It turned this red when it was only 5pm.

Bowling Nite

Back from my company's bowling tournament. To think that with my lousy skills I can still be part of a team. They must really be so kind to me. Just after the 2nd round, I broke my nail. Yes, the one on my right thumb, which resulted in my lousy score by the way. Then again have I already mentioned that I have no skills to speak of anyway.

But the whole evening was really enjoyable. In fact, I think that my present company is one where people really take time to have fun. Where there are so many committes to plan activities, from sports to D&D, healthy lifestyle, and all. Even our CEO bothered to turn up and mingle with everyone and bowl with the rest of us while we cheer and jeer at each other. And though my score of a hundred didn't get me a place to the final play offs, I really enjoyed myself. Seeing everyone let their hair down, knowing who are the ultra competitive ones, the tai ko ones, the skillful ones and like me the ones who just take part for the mere fun of it.

Working in this company has been a refreshing change in environment. One where you can speak your mind, one where colleagues have no hidden agenda, one where you see your bosses act stupid in front of you without being embrassed. I appreciate it a lot, though there have been moments that I wish I didn't have to go to work, I think I still like it here. Pity that my boss is leaving soon. I'll miss his nonsense.
