Happy CNY everyone!
Just finished a steamboat dinner with some of Jie's friends and we went for some grocery shopping at the Central Market. It's fun I think. There are so many Asian grocery shops too. Even more spoilt for choice than in Malaysia. They have canned mangosteens and quail eggs. -_-''' Since Central Market is in the Chinatown area, there were some lion dance performances going on too. I think KL's pretty impressed when I mentioned that I joined e pugilistic and lion dance society then. Ahah,
kononla... He said I joined for the guys.Oh, Puh-leeeze...
I think the Ozzies really support their local bands too. Cos they're pretty good actually. I recommend Evermore! Another famous one is Wolfmother, they won something at this year's Grammy's.
Lurvve this song, Lights surrounding you by Evermore. The girl in there is Emily Browning or something in Lemony Snickett's a Series of Unfortunate Events. Remember? That's what I've been told la. For all I know it might be one of her lookalikes.
Bout my trip to Victor Harbour, I think it was pretty brainless for them to actually bring us to this place which doesn't have anything attractive this time of the year and on top of that, having to endure the horrendous weather. There's an island there which has little penguins inhabiting on it but they only come back at dusk. So what was the point of going there right smack in the middle of the day??!! Geez.. it felt more like being sent to exile island with all the wind, sand and rocks not forgetting the sun. Which was so mercilessly burning us all.

That's Granite Island on the opposite joined by this long bridge.

Can actually take this horse drawn tram across to the island. Costs 5 bucks though.

View from Granite Island.


Next stop was an animal park.

Lucky for us, this fella was awake and walking. Rare cos they sleep 20 hours per day.


It was pretty yucky actually. Cos you get icky kangaroo saliva all over your hand and have to tread around carefully cos the kanga poo was all over as well. Guess most of the people didn't really care. How could they?!
OK la.. guess that's all for now. Too many pictures to post anyway.. And there's quota on the internet usage here. How sucky is that?
