Portraits of a Zone (part 2)

Portraits of a zone (part 1)

Giving Glory....

Thank you God for the 2nd upper. =)
All of it belongs to You.

pitter patter

rain rain rain....

boo hooooo....

Bye Portia

Today's one of those days i feel sentimental and sad.
Sold the trusty car. Miss her curves and cutesy eyes.
So easy to park and smooooth. =)
Bye portia... you have served the uwa community well.

Shoes and Men

Slippery slope.

This Guy thing called CS

So apparently LAN shops have lost their business to home-set-up.... the kinda DIY LAN gaming that our zone guys have established. wow... you gotta give it to them.
Here i am in edison's place... with crazy people playing CS (short for Counter Strike) :)
Singapore vs Malaysia style. haha, inevitable?

The house moving is going well... the place is almost empty... feels clean and green.
Leaving for Brisbane this Sunday... exciting!
Catch you later!

Informal Evening

That's Samina in the kitchen moulding the Chappatti. Mari and i helped out too! ended up playing with the dough. haha fun.

This curry was great! even eggplant, which i normally wouldn't eat, tasted good!

Had a great dinner at Samina's place today.
Well, it lasted for well over 4 hours... not the actual dinner but the nice, long relaxed chats we had.
i had 4 cups of tea! haha Mari's eyes lit up everytime the word 'tea' was mentioned.
-Thank you for coming with me girl, hope you enjoyed urself!

Just sitting and talking was really refreshing. Especially when u're with a woman who's accomplished not just academically, but who's caring, inspirational, smart and heart-warming.
I've learnt alot, not just how to interact with people but how to deal with different situations. She's somebody who's had to deal with huge, i mean HUGE challenges in her line of research and work. It's funny how God places people in your life, and how much favour He promises to give you. I am deeply grateful and thankful, no matter what the thesis grades say... i've come out stronger, more resilient, i want to keep learning and improving.

Brekkie with Love

Woke up to a danish sitting pretty on the coffee table waiting to be consumed =) Thanks Ja!

Home affairs

We never knew we had so much junk, so much of other friends' junk... and junk that belonged to people whom we've never met. haha how about that!
Cleared out the whole house and kitchen... never seen it empty in 4 years since i've moved in here. It's quite cathartic and therapeutic... i was telling Ja. I think she's finding it sad that we're actually moving. I told Chris about the move, and he was saying he liked our place.... i like it too.... I guess we still get free access since the Princesses are moving in. =)

I've brought the trash out 5 times now... still counting. Filled out 2 large garbage containers (not counting our recycled material). We have so much stuff!! Plus some bags we're going to transport to the Salvation Army containers at broadway. Everytime i bring the trash down... the resident Magpie downstairs follows me, glaring at me intently. grrr

Here's to the Magpie:
Stop staring at me! i'm not purposefully threatening your nest... because guess what? i don't even know where it is! and i'm not wearing anything shiny on me... so you can't have it. Stay away! Bah!!

oof!

After an hour of bouldering along the miniature cliffs @ Point Walter, i'm OOF-ed.
Really enjoyed myself... i wanna go do it a couple more times. =)

Unfortunately no pictures my friends... wouldn't wanna risk bringing my precious panasonic lumix on the cliffs and get it wet n 'sea changed'.

Now after that and 3 hours of basketball... i'm OOF-ed.

Daylight Robbery!

As most of you informed people would know... we in western australia have lost an hour of our lives.....

And i want it back!
