We went all the way to Glenelg for some quick soaking under the sun. . .set. But it is liberating to watch the sunset by the beach! By a very clean beach with cute, fat kids running around. Took a few too many pictures of the sunset. But all of them were taken at such random angles that, it failed to look like the progress of one single sunset. But, it is.
Victor Harbor is a very nice cozy place. Ferris Wheel and stuff are just so cute. . . miniature. . . and wobbly. . . So we ended up going on the Horse Tram instead as seen above. Although it looks cruel, but actually it is machine-operated. See the tram-rails? Loved the scenery there, the sea, the breeze, the waves crashing against the rocks, and the strawberry ice-cream. . .
This must be the most interesting beach we went to. And I bet you must be most excited to read, or visually imagine. . about this.
Well, we didn't unclad for the beach. Cos we wanna protect the pride and namesake of Malaysia. Won't wanna give this stereotype: Malaysians - flabbiness all over.
Northern Lights! Some kinda lighting show near University Adelaide. 5 designs of lighting are projected onto each of 5 old buildings making them seem surreal and colourful. From a splashes of musical notes to scribble-like patterns, it was really impressive and I would have gladly stayed on to watch some more. . . if only it was not that cold that night.
We learnt of a very unique tradition in Adelaide! Crabbing - as in catching crabs! One, almost everyone seems to have a net for crabbing. Two, almost everyone knows how to do it. Three, almost everyone has done it before! We got introduced to it around 8 pm at night. Found a net by 8.30 pm (after almost calling up all contacts in Adelaide). Went home to prepare baits by 9.30 pm. Reached the jetty by 10.30 pm. Started crabbing at 11 pm. Went home empty handed and cold at 2 am. But we made a surprising discoveries that night!
I was not the only one self-portraiting the whole time! Here are some failed versions of me and Ray. (For WenJi, I bet there must be some in her own camera!! Wait till I find out!)
Another few failed pics at the hands of an unskilled cameraman. I dun wanna reveal who he is. But whoever's not in the picture, and was the only male there, shud be him la. . . .
And now, for the STAR of the trip!! Our red hot, baby car~ which sailed us through our Adelaide days, breeze in ur hair and all! And according to Ray, the water squirted from the front of the car is sooooo silent and it spreads out! And the wipers the dun leave any lines on the window! So this was our baby for the whole trip!
See. . . Flowers, of all colours, all 5 (FIVE!!) of them. And we got vegetable seeds! I wanted to get some flower seeds but some Fern told me that, it might bloom only by the time I move out. Cher. . . .
The house is sometimes a bit too quiet, so I decided to get a dog just for the fun of it. But, erm, I better use 'although'. Although, the doggy I got is not really hyper, fun or does it do anything at all other than sit quietly all day long. . . (sigh. . . ) but hey, I bet it is cuter that most dogs in this neighbourhood with its forever-smiling-face.
There are times I look at his frozen-smiley-face and wonder if I can squeeze any Botox outta it.
This picture was taken during the Mumba Festival a week or so back. It was quite fun with a lot of arcades, games, soft toys, rides and fireworks. Although soft toys are a major soft spot of females, it was actually the male market which was targetted in this event. All fighting fate (of not winning) and out-witting tricks (of the games) and turning on the tap (as in money), just to impress the females. And when all attempts fail, it will be deemed for 'charity' (to sooth the EGO). The weather was real hot that night (the snowflakes print on my dress can be seriously misleading), so there was a heavy air of sweat mixed with masculine-ego - I could literally smell it.
But of course, regardles of all these, the main theme was to have fun with a bunch of nice people and contribute to charity (girls in effort, guys in financial). Just as every festival is meant to bring cheer and to have a happy ending - everyone, regardless of a night of victory or disappointment, was treated to a round of fireworks. So we lived happily ever after. . .
The state of the 'un-furnished' house 2 weeks ago.
The very 'state-of-the-art' condition of my house a week ago. Take note of the extremely high tech television set (with an elongated antenna and screwdriver to change channels) and vacuum cleaner (with speaker function) shown here along with Mr Caveman and Ms Cavewoman.
Being the creative Cave-clan, we converted two spare mattresses and a very WenJi bed sheet into a brand NEW SOFA! Here, subject is eating grapes while watching very teeny men play cricket on the extra teeeeny TV.
Since it is late ady, I shall introduce you to the nature-side of our house - the vegetable patch and pets~
There is no reason to call this house unfurnished. In fact, we have so much BASKETS, RUGS and SPICES! Oh, and a rice cooker (canggih stuff) and hotpot-(erm) pot from Malaysia. Who brought it here? Aww. . . . dun make me say it.
Basically that is it about my house and I am not gonna show you the picture of the front of my nest. I dun want any stalkers, like Steve who might track me down and resume his stalking from Brisbane. I dun wan.
