Photos
I've realised that I've been a little slack in posting photos on this blog.... I've just been lazy to take my camera out... Guess I have to be a little bit more proactive in taking photos :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai 2007
And so we usher in the year of the Pig.... we had a good time ushering it in... had a massive 10 course reunion dinner at JS & SS place... and ate to our hearts content. YSF said that because there was so much left over, it means that we will all have an abundant life this year.
Then for dinner on the first day, we had steamboat at my place... I attempted to make the Coca chilli dipping sauce and from what my guinea pigs said, they think it was almost like the real stuff...
To put a damper on our cheerful spirits, the house had an attempted break in while we were having dinner and the burglar tried to break in thru the front window (which is thru my room). We only found out about it when WL had to move his car and reaslied the broken window. I think a couple of things foiled the attempted break in, the dogs started barking, humans started yelling at the dogs and the window wasn't big enough for him to get in (unless if he was a kid or a woman).... Needless to say I'm now paranoid...

Five years on....
This month (and maybe today) marks the fifth anniversary of my move to Perth from Sydney.... it was an arduous journey for the first couple of years, but I think the last 1-2 years, things have levelled of a bit. So what do I still like about Perth? Let's see... my dogs, the weather (ok I dont like temperatures in the 40s or below 10), the openess, the freedom, the food, the fact that I can drive around here and not take public transport, and the friends I've made. What I don't like about Perth... expensive shoes, boring bags, and the EARLY closing hours of the shops, especially the supermarkets!!!

Prank!!
My brother and I pulled off this prank on our cousin ....
Dad told us that our cousin and her husband was going to do a presentation to his class at SMU on working together as a husband and wife team....So bro and I thought it'll be quite funny to hear what they have to say, so we suggested to dad to skype the web cam with us so that we will be able to watch them in action - abt 6pm perth time
So dad did and during their presentation, dad and I were sending sms to each other and my bro and I just kept laughing at what they said. So half way thru their presentation, bro and I thought of a question and sent a txt to my dad and said the perth contingent got a question to ask and the question is you seem to know quite abit abt businesses, has your family always had a business that you helped out in. So dad replied saying yes good training. So we kept insisting that he shd ask our cousin just for the fun of it.
So when it came to question and answer time, my dad said "The group of students at University of Western Australia would like to ask you a question ...." That just triggered off laughs from my brother and I .... the 2 of us make up the UWA students?? And the look on my cousin's face was classic coz apparently dad didn't tell them that they were bring broadcasted to Aust and that was dad's way of announcing to them they were being shown 'live' to Aust. BUT what made it funnier which we found out later was that my cousins didn't know it was us who asked the questions until later when my dad showed them the text message!!!
Classic.... pure classic....

Book News
I was kind of sad when I read that Sidney Sheldon passed away. You can read his obituary here. He was the very first author that I got hooked onto when I was 13 (I think!) after I saw the mini series If Tomorrow Comes. I will miss reading his books. He will probably be well remembered for writing the tv series "I Dream of Jeannie".
And onto another news, the last Harry Potter book will be out July 21, 2007!!! Can't wait... might have to start reading the last few books to remind myself what has happened so far so I wont get so lost when I read the book. Have to remember to place an order (yes, there's a level of kiasuness here) ;) And so the countdown begins .....
