Bye Xmas and Hello New Year!
Can’t believe how fast this Xmas holiday has flown past. The only productive thing that I have done so far was tidying up my front yard this morning. Yesterday we went to watch the MI: Ghost Protocol and it was brilliant! I will post a short review later if I’ve got time 
Now…off to shops for some more food shopping and may be making some chocolate fondants later for tea, thank you Wayne for the great Xmas present!
Bye Xmas!

Back to Freo
Finally I got a chance to bring my camera for a walk before our work Christmas dinner at the Outback Jack in Freo last Saturday. It was a rather interesting night I must say, unfortunately not in a very good way. Our dinner took what seemed like more than 2 hours before they were served and the crocodile meat that I ordered tasted more like breast meat from a geriatric chicken. I guess the kitchen was a little bit overwhelmed by hungry diners but still no excuses for the slow service and uninspired meals.

Xmas Shopping
Yeah! Done all our Xmas shopping (….well, almost done) last Sunday in the city. We didn’t even realise there was this yearly Christmas pageant earlier in the morning until later. Anyway, I still think having the pageant in the morning is a rather silly idea even though it is said to improve the city trade in the afternoon. I guess having the parade in broad daylight has one definite advantage, the participants could probably cut down a bit of electricity usage by not powering up their traditional flashing lights, which unfortunately could have made the parade a much more presentable event late in the evening

I need to take more photos!
Well…that’s what I have been keep telling myself during the past weeks. I haven’t been busy lately neither, so can’t use that as an excuse. I guess I have better things to do…like playing computer games (I know I know) and …baking. To prove how serious I am, I have even got myself a Sunbeam Mixmaster from Myer last week!
To keep this blog rolling, I guess I better post something These few photos were taken quite a few weeks ago during a picnic lunch in Yanchep.
Even with more than average rainfall this year, the lake in Yanchep is still rather dry, not a good sign indeed
Life will be perfect if I can live like a Koala

Genesis in the Hills
Just by looking at the name, it definitely doesn’t suggest a restaurant or anything close to that but it is in fact, a beautiful vegetarian restaurant situated in Roleystone, right in the middle of the hills. I have been to Araluen Botanic Park numerous times in the past, but not once did I realise that I drove past this restaurant. Of course, it is rather easy to miss because they only have a small inconspicuous sign on their narrow driveway pointing to the restaurant. We went there just in time for breakfast last Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful and friendly their staff is. We quickly placed our orders and grabbed a table along the balcony waiting with anticipations. Trust me, if you are feeling the stress or need a place to escape to after a wild Saturday party, a healthy breakfast at Genesis in the Hills will definitely instill some sanity back into you. The place is amazingly tranquil and beautiful. The food, well, they were beautiful and very reasonably priced. Unfortunately the same cannot be said with their coffee. Our flat white is a tad too bitter even though they appear to be using quality beans from Fiori. So go there for their wonderful service, food and atmosphere, and probably give their coffee a miss We will definitely go back again….for their beautiful range of cakes.

I have been really slack at updating blog lately. Couple of weeks ago, both of us did have a week off work but we spent most of our time in our backyard and garden. Furthermore, I think we are allergic to weeds seriously because we literally got a rash straight after we cleaned our backyard lol!

The Big Prawn- Real SteelReal Steel is a very interesting and surprisingly great family movie. I know some people (me included) may be kind of sick of below average movies with giant butt-kicking robots such as the last Transformers but believe me, this one is different. I said it is a family movie because it basically is about the journey between a father and his son in rediscoveri […]
- Little MacFinally we added another member to our Apple's family, a small Macbook Pro for Jin :)
- Magic TrackpadToday I got an Apple magic trackpad to go with the OS X Lion. I know it will probably never replace the good old rodent especially precision is your main concern, but it does work seamlessly with the Apple new OS. The trackpad, through the new operating system enables you to bring the full "touchscreen" ability of an iPad into your regular desktop. […]
- Transformers 3As one of the most anticipated movie of the year, Transformers 3 was a great let down for me. I think Megan Fox got out at just the right time. Although her replacement, a beautiful model from fashion powerhouse Victoria Secret, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley failed to bring anything fresh to the franchise. I don't have much to say about this movie except th […]
- Roomba 577iRobot Roomba 577 is an automatic vacuum robot which can be programed to run on its own according to a set schedule of up to 7 times a week. I bought this for Jin as her birthday present but in fact, it's probably a present for both of us. Vacuuming has never been this fun since we adopted this little baby! It comes with a self-docking station for recha […]
- BBQ Pork BunsI have been wanting to share this recipe with you since our trip back home but I was just too lazy to do anything else apart from sitting on my ass every evening watching some Chinese dramas downloaded off the net :P For this recipe, I cheated by purchasing the ready made BBQ pork from a restaurant in Northbridge. You actually can achieve very similar result […]
- Fast FiveFast Five is not only the fastest but I reckon, it's simply the best out of the five in the long running Fast and Furious series. Hell, it could be the action movie of the year; and yes, I know we still have more than half of 2011 left; and yes, the Transformer sequel is at the horizon; but the Fast Five is that good! Although the storyline might be a l […]
- The Athlete's FootNo...not the fungus or tinea infested foot, I am talking about The Athlete's Foot shoes company in general. My pair of New Balance runners were long overdue for replacement, so I took advantage of the new year sale and got myself a new pairs at The Athlete's Foot in Belmont. I have never shopped in any of the stores before and to my surprise, it wa […]

- Something for the kitchenDespite needing regular sharpening, I love my big and cheap Chinese cleaver which I probably have been using for more than a decade now. While the cleaver is great for cutting through bones and making mince out of steak, it is sometime too big and clumsy for other purposes. We have been looking for a good cooks knife for quite sometime now and today, we fina […]
