Carlton loves the Wii

Carlton+Wii controler +Pointer Sisters=20 seconds of FUN I was laughing my a$$ off watching this video!

Queen

Queen is my favourite band. It has a looney and gay characters - thanks to Freddie - as well as intelligent and grande elements build into their songs. Queen had crossed different genres, combined them, mix them, experimented with them. Some people like it, some don't. But they had done it. Queen - you are made in heaven.

Braun Buffel in The Flesh

 
My folks and I were on vacation in Philip Island, Victoria back in May 2005. We went to a farm for country lunch and this furry thing crossed the street with full ignorance on our way back. We had to stop our car for a couple of minutes until it finally on the other side. This thing is huge. Good thing I had chicken for the lunch. I would not want to mess up with this giant. 

Bird Eye View of My Apartment Building

 
This is as close as Google Earth can do for Australia. But I can distinctly recognize my building. Very cool. I did the same with my friends' home but I won't put them due to privacy reason. Big Brother is watching you..... 

Newtown Festival 2005

 
This was the biggest Newtown Festival I've ever been. Since I left Australia years ago, the festival was never this big. I heard the festival attracted around 200,000 people - which maybe made Newtown sunk a little bit. It was a good fun - music, food, bazaar. I am all those.
Can't wait for this year's festival. Really looking forward to that. 

Ol' Shanghai Alley

Ol' Shanghai Alley

After so many late night activities in Shanghai, my buddies and I sometimes did an afternoon walk around area in Shanghai where "laowais" not usually go to. We enjoyed walking and seeing the real Shanghai life, sometimes.
We were amazed to see street sellers making wonton, noodles, and old shops selling things that we thought already extinct. But what caught our eyes when we passed this alley that has beautiful symmetry. And no, we did not take a piss in the alley.

Hooters is back to Australia. Picking a location further part of Sydney - Parramata, the "family" restaurant is trying to make a comeback. I went all the way from Newtown just to try its famous wings. It has been a while since I went to Hooters - last was Shanghai Hooters.
I actually parked behind this not-too-new BMW 316ti with customized plate "LEGZ" - too bad the reflection made it barely visible.

PS: This Hooters is the most diversed Hooters I've ever been. But they need to put more effort to survive the business.

Million Dollars View of Sydney

Million Dollars View of Sydney
Originally uploaded by cyberlucky.

I was in the Governor's House in Sydney and when I was looking at the window, I just had to take the picture. I bet a lot of people took the same picture - maybe even better, but it really is a spectacular view. It takes millions of dollars to be able to go home with this view.

Broken Vending Machine

 
 
The vending machine in my office floor somehow always refuses to spit out products made by Coca Cola. I always pick Pepsi Max instead, but some people still insist on Coca Cola. So I put a note to avoid disappointment, and it seemed the maintenance guy could not find what was wrong with the machine. He left his comment in my note instead and ask us to call him everytime the problem occurs - he also left some Coca Cola cans and coins.
FYI, the vending machine still has the same problem. But I did not bother to put the notes anymore. We just keep on calling him. 

Soft-Shell Crab at Thai Express - World Square, Sydney

 
 

This is a great treat. The soft-shelled crab is really hit the spot. I went with my office buddy Keiron for lunch. I recommend this to everyone who can eat shellfish who happen to be in the neighborhood.
