After a sustained period of absence

I know, I know, it's been awhile since the last post.

Since then I've been to Dandenongs another few gazillion times, developed an interest in wine-tasting, ate alot of stuff, fallen ill, said goodbye to some people who were going home, stayed sober, bought alot of DVDs, watched a few movies, trying to get a flight home(but still not successful),....

that's my life condensed. and I feel like I want to travel the world. NOW. (and be home for christmas).

It's finally happened. After years of ill-treatment and being tossed around, I think R I S K is finally giving up. Not much else to be said but there were sweet, good memories of it, and with it; and I think it's about time really. I don't intend to get it repaired and I think it might just be for the better.

Goodbye old friend. You'll be missed.

OUT!

2007-06-20T07:23:00.000-07:00

Will be out at the Grampians from the 21st (thurs). Won't be back till Sunday.

Till then.

Okay.

Just thought I ought to put a post up in case people thought I've died/lost interest in this blog/ suffered extreme trauma/ the list goes on.

Been overwhelmed with work for the past month. School work, mainly. If you have been in contact and have been graciously listening to my endless rantings and mad antics, I thank you for your patience. It has all come to an end now with the submission of the final 2 assignments of the semester, and I look forward to a bit of a break before the thesis groundwork gets underway.

To see the website that I've been working on, of course, with ZS's help, click here.

It's getting cold now, and we just had a helluva time taking picture in the 5 degrees(or less) Carlton Gardens because Melbourne is having a foggy night (the visibility range is about 100m??).

Just installed Twitter, so updates should be coming in in shorter bits, but more frequently (as long as I remember to SMS).

Alright, heading out to the grampians soon and hopefully I'll have nice pictures to post thereafter!

Have fun and take care whereever you are,

K.

OMG i love this girl.

Hmmm...

Okay, a technical bump.

I have (almost) reached the 200 pictures limit on flickr. While I can still upload pictures, I will need a new site (or flickr) account soon because if I exceed that 200 limit, the older pictures will be gone. So if any of you know of any other image hosting site that allows many many pictures at NO cost, I'll be uber happy if you could just tell me.

Otherwise, back to deciding between deleting some of the ugly pictures or signing up for a new account.

Great Ocean Road (10th - 11th APR)

2007-04-17T21:09:00.000-07:00

As some of you might know, I took a recent roadtrip to Great Ocean Road. A tedious drive, I'd say but a fun trip nonetheless. Shan't talk too much, here are the pictures.Welcome to the Great Ocean Road!

Standing on the highway posing for the camera is not advisable.Hokay, something to prove I was there.

Faster than your eyes can see - speeding along Great Ocean Road.Round and round we go.
the endless winding trip took us about 2-3 hours to get to Lorne, our first stop.Grand Pacific Hotel, Lorne
The place we almost stayed in. In the end we went to some apartment right behind it.
The Sky, and the Sea
view from the roadThats how the road looks like...
for a majority of the 440km of it.And after a 2-hour long battle against motion sickness from Lorne,
we arrive in Apollo Bay.
Time for a nice group picture of us...
of course, I was holding the camera.
And of what we were getting around onSome funky fountain there, couldn't resist burning more shots on it.
Again, some touristy pictures. To show that I was there at Apollo Bay.
Us, minus the couple.when we drove back to Lorne, the sky was littered with stars
It was a gloomy morning. A perfect time to sit and face the BLOODY ocean.
can't resist, so I tried to be artsy fartsy again.

So after some more speeding, and miles more of the winding road,
I'm here, at the twelve apostles.
with Bossy.and then a nicer shot of the 5 and a half and a quarter of the "Twelve" Apostles.
They need to learn to count.
Confucious say, It's good to go home before night time.
Took the very straight inland highway (A1).
here's how it looks at dusk.
Home sweet home.

More photos here.
Till the next time!

Wail.

Mommy!

City about (I).

2007-03-21T08:31:00.000-07:00

Some (bad) touristy pictures I took because I had been bored.

The Whatsthatbuilding(?) in Carlton Gardens. Kris please correct this one. I'm too lazy.

Melbourne Central, home to Hoyts and the Central train station.

The Public Baths, the place to go for a massage or an over-indulgent swim. Krissy's school is in the background.

Melbourne Uni's famous "Harry Potter" corridor. Better known as the Old Quad at Law T.

These are photos from last year, hence everyone's in winter things. Also explains the overexposures from my broken aperture that I got fixed only in January.

walking about. - moomba festival

2007-03-21T04:30:00.000-07:00

So last weekend ( or last last weekend - the one that ran from 9th to the 12th, lah!) was moomba festival here in melbourne. Dont ask me what it is about, tourists arent supposed to know too much. Besides, 12th March is labour day here so it's public holiday AND long weekend, so everybody is happy.

They had fireworks over Yarra River 3 nights in a row, i think. Went for all three. they cancelled the one on sunday due to so-called "bad weather" which was a 20 seconds drizzle with raindrops u cant see with your naked eye. Anyhow, I took a couple of shots with cameras hijacked from val, roxanne and zhensheng. so here they are, enjoy :)

Some arts centre on St. Kilda, i think its the palais theatre. is that, adel?View along Yarra River, excuse the linear shot though.

most of the fireworks picture didnt come out right cause i didnt have a tripod. was sitting on some window ledge, scrunched up like a tissue. at least this wasnt too bad.

palm tree fireworks!

p.s. special thanks to them who always allowed me to take shot after shot on their cameras.

the place i now call home.

2007-03-21T04:24:00.000-07:00

Ummm this is the living area of the house, with like glass on the roof and opens to a small little garden.
and this is the dining area of the house, if you havent yet seen it

I dont really have much pictures as of yet because poor me doesnt have a camera. but yeah. The house was built in like 1866? 1886? one of those years... It's kinda cool really... because other than what you see, we still have a wonderful study (piano included) and paintings all around the house.

Crease under ten.
