(Canberra, Australia, taken jun 25, 09)

Taken on a trip to the peaceful capital city of Australia, Canberra. This is the bridge that connects the city with the capital hall.

Winter doesnt mean no more fun in the park.

(Taken in 11jun09, Melbourne)

Taken in Lygon Park, Carlton while I was on my way to take away lunch.

At first, he was rolling on the grass, then he was feeding the birds! Taking pictures of children is just so much fun.

My boy of the day.

Yes, he was rather scared of the birds in the beginning. Well.. when u suddenly see a flock of birds flying towards you, who wouldnt be scared!? =)  don’t look so miserable, smile in front of the camera!

Oops oopss dont fall! they just want the bread on your hand

A sense of Victory!!

Street Flowers can be lovely too

(Taken in Sep 08, Melbourne)

I took this last spring on the way back from breakfast, along Rathdowne St (carlton)…

For some reason, everytime I see this picture, I think of one of my friend who simply loves red hehee

Welcome to Langkawi, Malaysia

(Taken in Jan 2009, Langkawi, Malaysia)

This has been my desktop picture for the whole year. Simply love the view of Langkawi from the plane.  Langkawi, Malaysia is a a huge island surrounded by 90+ small islands. Really, I cant understand why people wanna travel out of Malaysia for a nice day in a beach when they have the best in the country.

Care for some ‘quality coffee’?

The Point Restaurant

Apple soufflé

(Taken in May 09, Albert Park, Melbourne)

For my friend’s birthday, we had lunch in The Point Restaurant in Albert Park Lake. Located in the park itself, The Point has a fantastic view overlooking the whole albert park lake.  Designed as a glasshouse with white furniture, the restaurant is pure simple, modern yet elegant. If you have a chance to visit Melbourne, be sure to enjoy a nice meal in the restaurant. This is the most peaceful part of the city.

ps: The Apple souffle makes me fall in love with souffle. I’m not a very good food critics. With my insensitive taste bud, I only know how to differentiate between nice or NOT nice. So really, dont ask me the details.. all I know is I fully enjoyed the desserts and they tasted really good!!! (My friends ordered the souffle and I ordered tiramisu…hmmm… although the tiramisu is great, i have to say the souffle is still the best)

Royal Melbourne Show

(Taken in sep 08, Melbourne)

Every September, Melbourne will hold its annual Royal Melbourne show for about 10 days. This was taken in last year show. Basically, its just a lot of fun fun and fun. It is filled with different types of shows, competitions and rides. Some of the shows include, ‘flying pig’ (I’ll show the picture in my future entry), ‘dog show’, ‘horse in action’, ‘milking cow’, ‘animal nursery’….. more than just allowing children to have fun, it is also to educate today’s children who live in the city about farm animals. After cuddling the animals, one can go indoor to buy some show bags or have fun with all the rides and rollar coasters outdoor. Personally, I can never get on this ride, it makes my dizzy sick after.

Brighton Beach- Message in the bottle?

(Taken in sep08, Brighton Beach, Melbourne)

One of my favorite picture. Saw this cute little boy having a wonderful time on the beach with his family in the evening.

Yes, Melbourne (not England) has a Brighton beach too.  Line with colorful huts along the whole beach, it is one of the most popular site for wedding shoot.  Australia is ONE GIGANTIC island. Hence, even though Melbourne has unpredictable weather and fierce wind, Melbournians still really love beaches. Winter is coming soon… that means the end of ‘beach life’ and more ‘heater heater heater’. Looking forward to my sunshine escape to Australia sunshine state in july!

I shall post more photos of Brighton Beach soon.
