你有壳吗？Do you own your own shell?

在安东尼的部落看到了一则蛮有激励潜能的小故事。。。

有一天，小蜗牛突然反问自己为何自己背上天生就得有个重重的壳。想来想去，他得到了一个不满意的结论：

“老天爷对蜗牛不公平”

于是他便问妈妈。

小蜗牛：为什么我们从生下来，就要背负这个又硬又重的壳呢？
妈妈：因为我们的身体没有骨骼的支撑，只能爬，又爬不快。所以要这个壳的保护。

小蜗牛：毛虫姊姊没有骨头，也爬不快，为什么她却不用背这个又硬又重的壳呢？
妈妈：因为毛虫姊姊能变成蝴蝶，天空会保护她啊。 。。

小蜗牛：可是蚯蚓弟弟也没骨头，也爬不快，亦不会变成蝴蝶。他为什么不用背这个又硬又重的壳呢？
妈妈：因为蚯蚓弟弟会钻土, 大地会保护他啊。

小蜗牛哭了起来：我们好可怜，天空不保护，大地也不保护。 老天不公平！

蜗牛妈妈安慰他：所以我们有壳啊！我们不靠天，也不靠地，我们靠自己。

结论：如果你觉得老天不公平，那是因为老天爷对你怀着比别人还高的期望。不管多少重重的壳，种种的困难，都无法剥去我们心里那份层层且沉沉的努力与耕耘。=)

Just saw a short but meaningful story from a tuition teacher's blog. 安东尼

Below are the translation:

One day, Little Snail started to question about the pros and cons of the shell on his back.

He couldn't help it, but came into a conclusion that :

"God is UNFAIR...DAMMIT!"

Feeling depressed and frustrated, he started to ask his mum the questions he thought off by himself just now.

L = Little snail

M = Mama snail

L: Why we, snails have to bear a huge and massive shell on our back at the moment we were born?

M: This is because we are invertebrate, which means we don't have the vertebrae to support our body. Furthermore, we can only glide around in only a pathetic slow pace. Therefore, we have to rely on the protection provided by our own shells.

L: ..... But Ms Katie-Pearrer (caterpillar) at the school has no back bone too, and move around in a slow pace like us. Why? Why wasn't she born with a shell like us?

M: This is because she will become a butterfly one day, and the vast sky is her protection.

L : But brother Earthdy (Earthworm) has no vertebrae, move very slow and don't have the ability of turning into butterfly like us. Why he was not born with this heavy shell?

M : My dear.... But he has the ability of tunnelling into the soil. Therefore, he has the soil as his protection.

L : .... .... (start crying) Why? .... Why are we so PATHETIC? Why there's nothing that can protect us?

M : Come on~ boy boy XD That's the reason why we were gifted with a shell. We don't rely on others, not the vastness of the sky nor the soil.

WE COUNT ON OURSELVES!!!

cheers guys!

Newspaper huh?

Newspaper, a piece of reading material which is the combination from pages of words, pictures.

Or if you would like to take it literally, it means paper which are filled with news, ranging from useful, educational news to tabloid and aunties' gossips. In general, it will suits you no matter what kind of person you are.

I can't really remember when I was exposed to this so called 'one of human's lousiest invention' (I mean in now a days XD ). What I remember is how I was guided to it.

It all started from cartoon addiction during my childhood. When I was small, I had to rely on my Mum to tell me when the TV will show my favourite cartoons. When I grew older, my Mum take this "GOLDEN" opportunity of his son being one of the hardcore devotees of Power Rangers, Tom & Jerry, Popeye the Sailor Man etc and she taught me one of my most vital survival skills (at that time) ------- How to 'decode' the TV guide in the newspaper and know which columns and rows to look for if I'm searching for a certain cartoon on a particular channel.

Once this PRECIOUS skill was mastered, my brother and I no longer live by the TV,

WE LIVE IN THE TV!!!!

You name it, WE GOT IT!!

From 'Elmo and the obese Big Bird from Sesame Street' to Gundam Seed , Dragon Ball, KFC hour, A-L-O-N-G~ ALONG! ........ endless list of cartoons.

But the all-time-favourite is still

"GO! GO! Power Rangers!"

most of the boys would die if they missed a second of the episode XD Silly huh? I can't imagine why they need to do all the stupiak and embarassing poses when ever they want to transform.

As a grown up (eceh~) , I call them "GO!GO! BOWEL rangers!" (the constipation edition)

On the other hand, I'm sure all the girls would absolutely melt into 'SailorMoon'

"Dengan Berat Badan,

AKU AKAN MENGHUKUM MU!"

(awh~ aren't they adorable?... I think I saw them before.... somewhere near the Western Food court.... OOOOhhh!!! ooohhh!!! OOOOHHHH!!!! They're the PORK CHOP lunch set!!!...... no offence girls! jangan perasan sangat, ya!) XP
Years later, I bid goodbye to all the kiddish and stupid cartoon which I used to watch (still keep some...hehe) and throw myself into documentary like National Geographic, especially the Animal Kingdom...SIMPLY LOVE-VIT!

老师常说：“报纸是人类的精神粮食”

是吗？也许十年，二十年后还会有人读报纸。但，五十年后？一百年后？

Translation: You always heard teachers in the school encouraging school kids to read more newspaper because it is the food for human's soul.

It may be true in this 10 or 30 years. But, how about 50 or even 100 years later?

Conclusion?

Come'on, don't tell me you still don't get it?

Sorry~ it's not about Internet. It's still about newspaper.

My match

Weeks ago, I joined the Community Friends Network Programme (CFNP) organized by the Uni and the City Council. Tomorrow they're going to have a pot luck and it's going to be my very first time attending the CFNP event. and meeting my match!!!

Below is the e-mail I received from the CFNP advisor.

"...I have found a match for you! Their names are Jodie and Kevin. Jodie is Social Inclusion officer at the council and Kevin is a Wood machinist and Production Manager. They're married and have a son. They enjoy a lot of the things you do, like home experience, sport, camping and cultural events..."

Happy Birthday to Mrs Old Crab

今天是老蟹的生日，我想对她说：

“生日快乐！！”

谢谢这几十年来的奔奔波波。。。辛苦了

其实，很多人都不知道我和我的老弟是有哮喘病的。（当然啦。。。哈哈）

还记得小时候，应该还在幼稚园吧？最多也才刚上一二年级吧。那段时间，我和老弟的哮喘病简直就像“发作不用本钱”，不时不时就来让长辈们‘high’一下。。。哈哈。 真的，有时真的很辛苦，觉得好像要死酱。XD 再加上小时馋嘴，不时就会往“雪厨”（客家话）挖一下，所以往往病情发作时，长辈们都回来得束手无策。

“兮~咻~兮~咻~”

这就是当时我父母的闹钟。

根据我姑姑们的报导，有时她们觉得我弟好像差不多要GO酱（因为他比较严重）

CHOI!!CHOI!! CHOI!!!

但，不知道是什么原因，我觉得我永远都会记得三更半夜，和老爸老妈在诊所前面等医生的那一幕。（好像《岁月神偷》那样）还有，和老蟹坐在秋千上的时光。。。。。。

觉得全世界的时间都停止了。。。

放心，

我一切都好。

你们也要好好照顾身体。

与你们分享一些短片（来自ASTRO)

父母心（Part1）

父母心（Part2）

父母心（Part3）

当中，我很佩服那位年轻妈妈的毅力和意念。

“如果我什么都不试，酱。。。她以后什么都不是咯。”

“也许对他人，或者孩子自己来说，那是一小步。但，那一小步，往往是父母眼中的一大步”

eleh~这个post有点act 'chim' XD

who cares? 这是我的提款机 X）

It's holiday!!!

IT'S HOLIDAY!!! YEAh~

But .... looking at the submission list just spoil my mood......(booo...booooo)

Come'on, it's just a week holiday, it won't make any difference if you don't really enjoy it.

Ya.... whether I need to work or not during holidays, I still need to breathe.(what kind of argument is this? haha.... it sucks, but I like it!

So.... I've signed up for a day trip with the Singapore Student Association, to Cradle Mountain.

This time is 单枪上阵 (go into the war zone with a single spear, got it?)....coz I can't find any legs...kaki. DAMN~

It's so so so so hard to find someone to do some outdoor activities with me.

Another "DAMN!!!"

Anyway, happy holiday to all in Tassie and happy celebrating the Hungry Ghost Festival to those at home in 槟榔屿。XD

Things you should do before your Uni life ends...

Last post is one in Mandarin, if you don't mind, google translate it... it's meaningful. XD

Again, I discovered another notes on FB which some how, I think collaborated with my previous post.

Title: Things to achieve before you graduate from your Uni

When you can no longer have it, remember it.

1. 1. No matter how shy you normally are in the class or how many times you have decided that you have autism.... at least once, ONCE! Stand infront of all your classmates (tute-mates), and give a serious speech, or sing a song (even if it's your national anthem). Even something like 're-introduce' yourself when you did during orientation. They'll remember you, and this particular moment.
2. Pay a visit to your favourite lecturer or even your past tutor. Ask them for a life-long advice, write it down and keep in your wallet.
3. MUST tell the girl/guy whom you used to like that you loved him/her before. (blush~blush) XD
4. Take the opportunity to apologize to a friend whom you felt guilty to but have never manage to gather enough courage to say the word "SORRY" (you'll be surprised)
5. Let yourself be drunk... really drunk (not until start stripping off your own clothes).... even if you're not fond of liquor Y(*~*)Y
6. Go to the food court/ canteen... sit down, take a cup of free drink (or bring your own mineral water).... feel the oily fumes coming out from the kitchen.... the smell that you will never forget (gonna get lung tumour sooner) X)
7. Wake yourself up on a morning, before the sun rises. Go jog around the school.... if you don't think you have such stamina... just walk. The morning view of your school when it's still dark which later slowly brightens, will stuck in your mind forever.
8. Never ever vandalise on the school wall "XXXX been here! XOXO -December2012-" Because you'll only get to be cursed by the cleaning lady.... 'CELAKA PUNYA BUDAK!'
9. Participate in the class activities (if have)
10. Take a photo of you in a suite (formal wear) when you're still a freshie, and take another one 3/4 years later.... compare and see how you've changed? (sure fatter) XP
11. Spend one lazy weekend afternoon, dig up all the stuffs you brought along with you when you first entered the Uni.... even if it's some torn message, left by some one. (I don't know why, but old papers smells very nostalgic...)
12. For guys, before you leave, pass your jersey to a junior brother, if you have CDs, give them to your favourite junior sisters. For all DOTA/R.A kaki, please bring all the installation CDs with you.
13. If there's a hills nearby, go and hike it once more.... if there's a swimming pool nearby, go and swim for the last time. If there's a McD? buy a packet of large chips and eat for the last time...haha
14. Leave some contact info to your juniors..... and exchange some with friends who's leaving with you.
15. Before you leave, trim your hair like how you looked when you first arrived. Remember.... you can leave with an old looked, but you're going to start something new.
16. Kiss goodbye to the furnitures which had accompanied you for the past few years.... give the fridge at the corner a good pat, hug the sofa and tighten the tap near the basin, so that it will never leak.... so do your own memories
17. Make sure you write your last report with extreme caution & passion...... every strokes of the alphabets.
18. Cam whore with the bed which you've slept on it for 3/4 years in a row.
19. Give everybody that you can reach a gift. Throughout those years, they may carry something memorable in your life, so do you, you'll always be part of their life-long parcel.
20. STOP dreaming!!! YOU'LL NEVER GET TO GRADUATE IF YOU DON'T STOP DREAMING!

Back to work.... Cheers!

上了大学。。。

摘自面子书：（有点长，蛮长，很长）

01.上了大学才知道，两个天天在一起的人不一定是朋友，有可能什么都不是。

Hmm....

02.上了大学才知道，从来不要和别人争论什么，因为那是没有结果的，无论谁对谁错。

这我反而赞成。

03.上了大学才知道，手机是有事的时候用的，并不是为了交流感情。

有时，手机也是交流感情的工具，只要别太依赖它。

04.上了大学才知道，真心对一个人好不一定有回报，而你忽略的人往往有可能是最重视你的。

有可能。。。能怎样叻？眼睛睁大一点吧！

05.上了大学才知道，很多东西是可遇而不可求的，很多东西你只能拥有一次。

赞同！但是，很想要的东西是很难遇的。明白吗？

06.上了大学才知道，恋爱不一定是真心的，有可能是利益关系，有可能是攀比心理。

一样的道理，还是带眼识人罢！小子！

07.上了大学才知道，原来中学老师教的是那么好，那么负责任。

呜~呜~我做梦都梦到我小学班级任。。。T——T

08.上了大学才知道，很多时候自己遇到不开心事，千万不要渴望别人同情，大多数人会采取冷漠回敬的。那样会更让人家看不起。

听过苦中作乐吗？偶尔当下人家的小丑，以丑消愁啊！XD

09.上了大学才知道，有很多东西是不属于你的，你使劲强求会遭天遣的。

不会遭天谴罢？那么严重。。。除非你害人利己咯！（我很相信因果报应的！！）

10.上了大学才知道，生活是有很多不公平的，你一定要正视，相信实力和群众的眼睛。

啪！啪！啪！啊！！（尖叫！）赞同！

11.上了大学才知道，人的性格可以差异到如此之大。

上大学之前，看多点TVB港剧罢！

12.上了大学才知道，一个人要自己对自己好，因为真正关心你的人很少，有了事他们也不一定会在你身边。所以要自己照顾自己。

对！只有好好地对待自己，才能不让他们担忧。

别想与他们分忧，只盼不让他们担忧。。。

13.上了大学才知道，课程会在你不经意间，拉下很多，期末考试前不一定能补回来。

拼到屎都拉出来了也未必赶得完！

14.上了大学才知道，钱用的是那么快，用钱的地方是那么多。

对。。。节俭是美德！

15.上了大学才知道，从现在开始应该把握每一个你能把握的人，放弃你留不住的人，不要因为想留住个别人而失去一群人。

没错。但，难的是你认为你能把握的人是谁？确定吗？还是一切只是借口？

16.上了大学才知道，自己一定在乎自己的自尊，因为你的自尊在别人眼里根本不算什么。

就如 “烂泥是扶不上壁的！”

17.上了大学才知道，不要心情不好的时候对周围人发脾气，渴望他们谅解你，人家不是你的父母，现在你可以明白父母对自己多么重要。

Baby,长大了，别再咬住你妈妈的乳头！！

18.上了大学才知道。即便有人对情感看的无所谓，你一定要坚信，人之间的感情，有可能会令所有东西无法超越的，但记住，只是有可能。

亲身体会会比亲眼看的来得深刻！

19.上了大学才知道，会遇到许多自己看不惯的人或事，但那与你无关，别人爱咋整随他便，别生不该生的气，不值。

对，减少生气，减少皱纹，减少肉毒杆菌！！

20.上了大学才知道，许多曾经的人会变的让你认不出，但请留住回忆。

别让事实与过去牵上太多关系。

21.上了大学才知道，会遇到很多诱惑，无论别人怎么样，你是你，你有你的原则和底限。

虽然你爸妈没对你说，你因该懂得这个道理！这个做人的道理！

22.上了大学才知道，会有人很讨厌你或者和你过不去，但是他爱怎么样就怎么样，我们要大度，不和小人计较，但前提是你正确。

如果beh tahan 了，就跟他/她/它 大大力锤下去！让他/它/她 扁到阿妈也认不出！

23.上了大学才知道，很多人无法理解男女之间的朋友关系，在一起就一定是恋人，不是恋人就一定不能在一起。

对于爱情这科，不是你我他，几张嘴巴就能定案的。

24.上了大学才知道，学习要刻苦，因为凭聪明就能应付大学科目的人是凤毛靇角。

street smart! and Study smart!

25.上了大学才知道，原来时间一空闲下来是那么无聊，丝毫没有中学的充实的感觉。

找些东西来做吧！我选择找东西来吃！哈哈!

26.上了大学才知道，太在乎别人了往往会伤害自己。

你不是神，有时神也懒得理你.阿弥陀佛~

27.上了大学才知道，对自己好的人会随着时间的流逝越来越少。

重要的是，你要待他们越来越好!人生难得有个知己！

干杯！

28.上了大学才知道，可以不把所有人当朋友，但千万不能把一个人当敌人，至少可以当同学。

冤家路窄，凡是留一线，日后好相见！

29.上了大学才知道，玩你能玩的起的，玩不起的千万别玩，不然会输得什么都没有的。

听好咯！男的，记得带套哦！女的，如果对方不带套，斩了它！XP (严重18SX)

30.上了大学才知道，快乐常常来自回忆，而痛苦常常来自于回忆与现实的差距。

欢呼后的落寞，还算平衡吧？好好让自己习惯罢！

31.上了大学才知道，原来上课，吃饭，上自习常常得自己一个人。

一有机会，就抓几个来跟你吃啊！一个人上课时不会死的啦！但，一个人吃饭，有点酸酸的。。。妈的！饭臭酸了！

32.上了大学才知道，有很多人的想法与做法你无法理解，或是根本不知道他在想什么，千万别在那揣摩或者瞎猜，那样会让自己累，既然人家要保持神秘感那就让人家保持去啊，自己又不是占星师。

“今天，山猪座的朋友会有些桃花运，母狗座的女性得小心哦！出门前，带把‘巴冷刀’。。。

33.上了大学才知道，每个人都是带有“地方特色”的。

是地。。是地。。。包括我们自己。

34.上了大学才知道，别人请客吃饭或着自己请别人吃饭都是很平常的，甚至请一个不怎么熟的人都是有可能的

吃饭？对我好的话，有可能请你吃糖吧！

想害我？！接招！吃蕉！看刀！

35.上了大学才知道，每个人都是认为自己的家乡最好，无论他的家乡贫穷或富裕。

见人而易的啦。。。但是，家乡的食物都是最温暖的，连‘米田共’都比较香。。。哈哈！

*”你说呢？“， 当然是我的回应啦。。。XD

Life resently ... ...

Life recently huh? (=___=)

Busier... and get to know a few more 'Ang Mor' classmates, all guys, because girls are way too sassy...haha

*Not appplicable to all, but majority XD

Yesterday, I just did a survey hosted by IDP. The reason is way too obvious : I will be able to stand a chance in winning an i-Pod out from billions of entries. XP

"How would you rate the country you are currently staying in for its security?

1 for 'Extremely concerned'

10 for 'Not concerned at all'

11 for 'I don't know'

I chose 22, 10 for trying to be positive =) , 1 for showing that I'm well alert with the local social problems. Another 11?

For all my local classmates (^~^)

I saw Calvin posted the shooting incident that happened yesterday on Facebook.

Is media a source of information on how to keep ourselves secure or a pill that everybody's taking to maintain or heighten the fear in their deepest heart?

Both, I think.

I'm going to talk about a friend of mine.

I knew him at the early days I reached Tasmania.

He's a Malaysian too. But he stayed in a different house, quite a distance from us.

He said he misses Malaysian food and always feel lonely when he cooks alone. Therefore, he wanted to join us for dinner, every night. Since then, our relationship grew stronger and stronger. Later, he even insisted that we should do our school work together. But, I can't deny his slackness in doing his work (just like someone in KBU XD) . Sigh...... But, there's one thing which I'm impressed with him - BRAVERY.

Dear architecture friends, would ever consider of using a small round, plasticine ball as your model? No details, no surface treatment, no scale..... simple yet , nice nothing.

After several months, he said he's having a serious financial problem. I believe. He said he wants to quite from eating dinner together with us. (FYI, we cook everyday). I accept without asking more of the reason.

He disappeared.... until the new semester started.

Something's wrong, I know.

He's no longer the guy I knew. He's like 'a new classmate'. He spoke so little in the class, most are involuntary conversation and are mainly questions directed from lecturers.

I tried to speak to him, but no response were heard. Not even the buzzing sound of the speaker.... Since then, I considered he accidentally glued his mouth with Elephant glue (like in 'House of Wax'). Suan le... ...

Around two weeks ago, three of my friends (including that friend) were involved in an accident.

It's not an ordinary accident. It didn't happen because of carelessness in both of the drivers. They were chased, and hit on purpose. But, luckily, no one was hurt. Just the car was a bit dented. Out of three, I think he is the one who still suffer from the post-accident psychology side effect.

In the class, an emotional face is his mask. I think the accident didn't impact on any of his main

limbs, but, I think his vocal chord was seriously injured.

The speaker was muted.

Yesterday, my friend needed some help from his friend, but they don't have each other's contact number. So I text him.

"When you get lemons in your life, make them into lemonade."

"What if I get a grumpy, old, sulking big lemmon? Which tasted like a bottle of Super Active-fast Panadol?"

"Erm.... Just let it rot and make it part of the compost!"

Hmm... the roses at my house front has started to grow new shoots on it.

Winter seems to be moving on....

I should too.

你要避我们，避吧

最好避得远远的。。。

我懒得跟你玩抓迷藏

简单Yet?

很久，很久

没有听力宏的歌了

那天晚上，心血来潮，上网挖了一些他以前的歌。

无意间，看到这首歌《柴米油盐酱醋茶》。

。。。点了一下。。。

还不错，没有他前几张专辑主打

那么开放，

黏得可怕，

腻到要呕的爱。。。

哈哈！对不起，偶像！XD

反之，听着听着，

我仿佛回到了小学时段，

他刚出道的那段时间。

每回下午

放学，

回到家，

吃饱饭，

开始做功课

我都会播他的歌来听。。。

（年少无知，当然听翻版的啦！）

炎热的下午

寒冷的月夜

仿佛又回到

我们的那些年

好了，抒发完感想，是时候报告一下大学里一些值得一提事情。

Just came back from monthly forum organized by the Uni staffs. Today, the research is about "Designing for Physically and Cognitively Impaired Elderly People". Basically, our head of school mentioned about the home for the elderly which he visited in Northern Europe few months ago. According to him, the old folks home there is well known for the environment and more common compared to the Asian region. He mentioned lots of things - "the scientific experiment done onto the 'residents' (if you want to be negative, you can just address them as a group of old bustards who're literally waiting to die and can't wait to rot any sooner) that manifest that architecture shouldn't just apply a colour because you simply like it. It must comes with lists of reasons, preferably scientific one.

In the one hour session, he talked a lot, and we listened a lot too. However, a sentence which slipped out from his mouth manage to give me a huge slap. It happened when he was comparing a liveable 'home' with another one which merely covers the survival objective.

"I don't want to die there..... ...."

His words reminded me of a advert which I saw on Internet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6L2B_6U37g (watch it if you haven't) He told us that he knows that he's going to say those words if he was sent there. It's just like in the advert, the Ah Mah has to cope with the new life with his son and daughter in law.

So, WHAT CAN THE ARCHITECTs DO?

For me, I don't think that we (imagine you're architect for a while) can do much. Gladly, we can alter the physical form of EVERYTHING but not the mentality of everyone. The most is just trying hard to influence the psychology state of a person the moment he or she comes in contact with the building or place.

During the forum, one of the female staffs objected how our head of school approached the issue pessimistically. She shared some views of hers, including her mother who's suffering with dimentia and currently staying in a 'home'. Then her objection was barely acknowledged. The Head of School stated that he also has a Mum who's also currently in a 'home'. He feels that we should look at the issue with salutogenesis, instead of looking at it with pathogenesis eyes. The discussion didn't manage to go on for long, after the female staff noticed that she's unable to hold her emotions.

Hmm..... I'm not supporting the action of sending our parents to retirement institutions or a 'home' when they're old. Just that, from how the female staff trying to convey the message that her Mum is living pretty well in a 'home', I can sense that, it's not that she didn't realize the dilemma that her mum may face and have no sense of guilt at all. Just that she knows that the reasons that she's giving left her with no choice. ...... (erbs~ I think I tried to read too much into the discussion..... or didn't I?

Oh ya... ... I've a last question. Will human be able to touch the earth when they're spreading their wings high in the sky? When you're soaring high in the sky, it means there might be more things that you need to be cautious of, like the wind directions which might bring you down, drag force that are slowing your horizontal velocity, the angle of your wings which will change the altitude you may reach, hazardous obstacles ahead etc. When you've so much thing in your hands and head, will you still be able to keep an eye on the ground if you can't touch it?

Some yellow flowers bloomed in my backyard during the winter....

CHEERS!

家里那些即将开始绽放的小瓜。。。加油！

纯粹 bo su zo

Gonna make myself busier this SEM!!!

TOMORROW CLASS IS BEGINNING AGAIN!!!!

ALRIGHT!!!

For this semester, I hope:

-To master all the software taught during class

-To mix more local friends (it's going to be abit awkward though~)

-To save more and more Ma-neyh!

-To work par time during weekend (if possible) ($~$)

GONNA MAKE MYSELF BUSSIER THIS SEM!!!

AND NO MORE MID NIGHT OIL BURNING!!! (sincerely I hope)

Winter trip LAST!! 3/3

Finally, we reached the last day of our trip. In the early morning, we were greeted by some chilling frost.... XD

When you have nothing to do... you will do thing like this - carving your own signature XP

Okay.... Ignore the sheeps above and listen to today's plan.

We are going to conquer the Bicheno Blow Hole and the Wineglass Bay.

It took us a long time to reach the blow holes. Hmmm... whta's blow holes? They're actually holes formed in the rock by the sea, after the rocks being corroded by the alkalinity of the sea water. When the strong wave current approaches the 'holes', the high sea water pressure will cause the water to be shoot out in a high speed. Get it? If not, just go to the toilet and pee XD

OIIII!!! Coming!!!! COMING!!

BLASHhhh!!!

SHOOOoooooo...ttt!!!

I like the angle and the sun... arhh...nice weather X)

Hooray!! Yee PEYYy!!

After observing the blowholes for some time, and noticed that there is actually nothing but holes that spurt out water and make all of us wet.... we headed on to our next destination -

THE LEGENDARY WINEGLASS BAY.... huh? (@_@)

The Wineglass Bay is located in Freysinet National Park and you will find out that there are actually numerous bays in the park it self. Just that Wineglass Bay is the one more famous.

The journey to the park will take you some time, and make sure you have a MP3 player or at least a radio if you doesn't want to feel boring along the journey. Seriously.....You will see nothing on the road but endless roadsigns, tarred road and Australian bushes. when you see the rocky mountains like the one above, you are on the right track and reaching soon!!!!

Oh ya! Just a reminder, you'll need to purchase a vehicle pass to enter the national park.

Cheese~ Zul!!!

We were really rushing like mad just to make to the bay on time, due to the winter daylight saving which means the sun goona SET SOON!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!

Even though we're rushing like mad on the way to the bay, we manage to snap some photos of the rocky mountains.

Nice combination!! Zul and Christina!!

The temperature started to drop as we move further on.

Finally!!! An almost one hour hiking brought us to the bay!!

The view from the beach is really nice... and I don't know why, but the wave seemed to be hitting the beach rather strong that day.... Perhaps it's shooing us away?

You will be able to catch this if you reached the bay around half an hour before sun sets. It reminds me of my scouting memory when I was in Secondary school.... I miss it so much!!!

Okay! From the picture above you can see the Wineglass Bay. From its name, I'm sure you guys get how does the shape of the bay looked like. But why wine? not juice Bay? Kicap manis Bay? Sea Water Glass bay? (B.S) or Urine Glass Bay? erbs! XD

It has to go al the way back to the time when whaling is still in operation at the ocean near the bay. Whenever there's a massive whaling activity going on, the boats which contain the dead whales will be washing off the bloody corpses of the whales near the bay. Imagine..... Imagine.... Just imagine.... you cut your wrists and let the fresh maroon-ish blood dripped into the water.....

CHOI!!!!!CHOI!!!!!! CHOI!!!

Okay...back to the topic. When the sea is filled with blood, the bay will looked like as if someone has poured a huge amount of wine into it. Got it?

Sun set is always romantic, no matter you're still single or you're standing by it with your GF/BF or even friends!

After catching the sunset, it's already dark and we rolled down the hill with our maximum velocity.

Throughout this whole trip, I get to know some new friends and get closer with those I've already known. I really appreciate all the things during this whole trip.

NEXT target: THE OVERLAND TRACK!!! (google it if you don't know about it....coz I'm lazy to explain it here)

p/s: school re-opening in around 24 hour time..... and I've nothing to say about it.
