Total Lunar Eclipse, 28th August 2007 20.37 PM.Is that true?
Today is suppose to be the Total Lunar Eclipse and over here, according to
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.php?id=63,409,0,0,1,0
in Melbourne, we could see the full effect from 20.37pm onwards..So I wonder is that true..
My "auntie" and I went down the flat and observe the so called moon or they call it as Blood Red Moon. How weird the name comes..hehe. But the moon is really looks like a YELLOW DHL BALLOON found in Singapore (haha).
Too bad my camera could not capture it as it is too small for my camera. If I can observe from the Uni, it would be larger. Because when I am on my way back just now at 7pm, I can see the full moon is very large and could be easily captured by any digital camera.
Nature Calls....to be continued. ¶ 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Today, I finally cooked my first soup of the day ...so nice especially at night time where its so cold!
Unfortunately, I didnt take any photos for that due to my landlady is with me while I am cooking. Haha...anyway, will do the next time I am cooking (when theyre not around).
I put the pork bone and let it simmer for one hour plus before put various ingredients. These ingredients is so abundant..brocolli, carrot, pak choy, chicken wing...etc. So sweet and nice..Hehe.
As promised, below are some nice pictures I suppose which I managed to take in Melbourne on the first part while I am here. Enjoy!
To be continue....the upload rate is too slow ..It took almost 5 minutes to upload just this photos..believe it or not?

Protest in Melbourne
Did you ever think of protest in public in Malaysia? Or any streets in Singapore?
Impossible is the answer!
But nothing is impossible over here in Melbourne. Road protest is very common and it has even special escort from the Police! Imagine that....
The protest can varies from Anti Govt, Anti this anti that...the list goes on and on...
This reminds me on today when I just went out to the City to catch a tram to Smith St.
As I am walking to Brouke St figuring out the tram 86 to Smith St, I saw a roar of protest on something on Murray Basin and Brumby's thingy...i wasnt sure the full details...haha.
Need to check it out at theage.com i guess.
Well, as the protest crowd is over, i assume that the tram will reach ...but unfortunately, the tram alert that it has switch another route...which is at La trobe St. Oh my Gosh! I just came down from there to Brouke St and awaiting for the protest to over..And now , what?
I have to walk back to La Trobe St and catch the tram. However upon reaching there. I was confused on the direction of the tram heading to Smith St. I tried to cross to another side of the road perpendicularly and was overjoyed that the tram 86 is right there...but only to know its suppose the returning path ones.
So , I need to cross back to the other lane of the tram perpendicularly...well, dont ask me why its perpendicularly and not just across the road..very weird road system here due to the tram !!
Well, I managed to get to Smith St. to get to one of the pharmacy shop to get my Logic programming book from one of Pr Ngoh's friend's son in law. Haha...thats the nearest path I can get the book other than at Glen Waverly!
Well, I am kind of happy because I managed to get there without any much trouble and back again :D(Self applause to myself :P)
And another note, sad news is due to changes that I made on the air flight ticket from this coming Dec to next Jan for CNY, I have to be paying AUD 85!! Super expensive...AUD 60 (one flat charge) + AUD 25 (service charge).
I was kinda reluctant initially and thinking to go back and perhaps do the changes through telephone yet...I am thinking why not since I have already reached there.
Hmm..still evaluating am i so stupid?
Keke...more ramblings to come...:)

"De teng liao ah"
This is the "phrase" commonly heard (if any of you are Hokkien):P
This is the typical phrase I used currently whenever I am back home from Uni. My landlady which is almost the similar age to my then-grandmother.
When I just stepped in to the house, she will start by asking "De teng liao ah" (means "Have you come back already?") I usually just nodded and agreed ironically. Very weird.
The irony of this phrase when I think back is physcially I am back home and the question have you come back already isnt is a redundant? Hmm...all I can say for my side is just one of the Chinese gestures we used to ...What do you think anyway?? :D ¶ 9:01 PM 0 Comments
