Easter 2007

Happy Easter Everyone....

It was one of my better Easters in recent years... had it pretty full on for the first 3 days of the long weekend and then pure vegetation on Easter Monday....

On Good Friday, we went for an early service (surprise surprise) at Riverview and then to breakfast. The service had a piece of jig saw puzzle on stage and then it was broken.... reminding us that Christ was broken for us... In the afternoon, my brother and I decided to visit the Avon Valley National Park - after getting lost for a bit, we eventually found our way there and I had an experience with a lizard... a BIG one... for those who know me, knows that I absolutely detests reptiles... in any shape or form... so a loud yell was heard throughout the National Park.... After the hard work at the National Park, we realised that we were pretty close to the Farm where the youth from church was having their youth camp so there we went for a feed... and a good feed it was :)

On Saturday, I decided to be ambitious and decided to cook popiah for my friends... I havent done it in a while (last time was probably in Edinburgh!) but I think it went ok... well everyone is still alive... :)

Easter Sunday was the highlight... TC flew in for a short visit from Melbourne and us girls decided to catch up... since I have always been taught that a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm attaching photos and well it can be seen we all had an extremely awesome night!!

Play Time & Pink

Hhhmm... it's always play time for me but this time round, I'm planning to head back home for a couple of weeks, hopefully my birthday weekend so that WY and I can celebrate our birthdays together for once. We're also thinking of heading on to BKK or Vietnam for a couple of days of R & R (more like eating and shopping).... can't wait...

On another note, I streaked my hair pink again :) Think I might try purple the next time round...

All Jazzed Up

A couple of weeks ago, CY, my bro and myself decided to check out the Perth Jazz Society gigs. So we found ourselves at the Hyde Park Hotel on a Monday night, listening to Elle Deslandes Sextet and totally enjoying ourselves. Last night, we headed there once again to listen to some really cool piano playing by Mat Jodrell & Konrad Paszkudzki presenting the songs of the Ray Brown Trio. I have to say the finale was really cool when the 2 pianists took turns to play on the piano for their encore.

Funnily enough, we've mentioned to some of our friends that we went to listen to the jazz and a couple of them have surprised us and 'admitted' that they are jazz enthusiasts... however.... we have yet to see...
