I wonder how they got trained to do those tricks...

Found Clip: Simpsons In The Flesh

A human version of the famous cartoon series 'The Simpsons'. I thought this was the one that going to be the 'Movie' version. Apparently not.

Mother Love

I had to clean the balcony. I just had to. So I pulled out my cleaning gear and started cleaning. But I did not want to clean the nest, yet. There were two eggs on the nest and their mother was watching them. I set some perimeter of the area to be cleaned and started cleaning.
The pigeon mother was panicked and flew. A moment later a smaller pigeon - I assumed the father - came to check the situation and left, or ran away. The pigeon mother then came - slowly - and went back to the nest. She put her alarmed position and tried to protect her eggs. She took the risk of dangering herself in order to protecting her kids. That is mother love ...

George W Stand Up Speech - Funny

A great man can laugh at himself - so they said.

Nesting...

I guess I will never get my balcony clean. Pigeons thought that my balcony was their safe place to multiply. Picture above is the fourth time they used my balcony. I need to get it clean one day.

75th Anniversary Sydney Harbour Bridge

Went to Circular Quay in the morning until noon with my friends (and their son). We - except for the boy - were impressed and enjoying ourselves. Well, it's a good fun for me.

I took my friends and family to restaurant in Balmain, called Satasia. I always had good experience and this time was no exception. Although I kept forgetting that they don't serve iced tea.
We also ordered fried fish which was excellent. It looked so good that I forgot taking picture and started scooping in.
I closed it with Gula Malaka and Banana Fritters which is just right in the tounge.
Another job well done.

The famous bridge is getting older and famous. I am thinking to go to the Quay this Sunday to enjoy the festivities.

My Photo in FluidEating

I had a message in my flickr that this dude would like to use my photo of Thai food for his company's website. I'd like, that's cool, man. I don't mind at all, and I did not mind when he said that they could not pay. I ain't no professional anyway. But he was cool enough that he would acknowledge the work by putting my name and link to my flickr page.

So here it is, shown in the picture above, the website. It looks alright, I'd say.

The parade is held a week before actual CNY and people in Sydney really celebrated the occasion. The road from Town Hall to Chinatown was blocked for the parade.

The Great Ocean Road Drive

The Beginning of Great Ocean Road, originally uploaded by cyberlucky.

I finally did it again yesterday and it was worth it. Spent the whole day, mostly driving and stop once in a while when we wanted to. We stopped at several beaches, and at some woods for taking pictures of koalas and kangaroos. We left Melbourne at around 5.30AM and back around 7.00PM - we could not sleep after woken up around 4AM and decided to do the drive....very good decision made.
We will do the drive again next time, but maybe stopping overnight at Apollo Bay so we have more chance to explore - although Lorne has some nice hotels.

Cafe Batavia

I went to Jakarta on business and I took the opportunity to pay a visit to my old time favorite place - Cafe Batavia. It used to be the best bar in the world 1996, according to Newsweek magazine. And it did show its 'aura' still, although not as busy as it used to be. I went with my parents and buddy for lunch and we had fantastic Indonesian and Chinese food - at the price not as expensive as I thought it would be, although still expensive comparing to the market rate in town. Had a very good experience and definitely will come back if I am in town.

Little Penguins on Phillip Island, Australia

This guy, Bill Adler, was very lucky to have a chance to take picture of penguins in Phillip Island. Now it is strictly a no no. But it is still a good experience to see these cute birds walking back to their nests. I went there twice and I still want to go back.

Doors of Jogja

I encountered this photo in Flickr, a collection from Farl. He captured the colours that brought me some recollections that people in Jogja really loves colours, and I mean bright solid colours. I missed this details so long ago and this photo brought back the memory of my hometown.

Happy New Year 2007

Just wishing all the best for everyone. I decided to have a quiet celebration this year and watch TV. Channel Ten is broadcasting live Sydney fireworks. And I did not really excited with the programme - maybe I am a bit too old for the style - other than the fireworks. I was quite surprised when they show one act of "Priscilla: Queen of The Desert" just right after the kiddie fireworks, and they were using the dialogues that were not "family friendly". I was a bit uncomfortable with the timing - definitely too early. I just kept on skipping the channel so I missed another act in Channel Ten that apparently offensive, son of Bert Newton (forgot his name) doing some obscene gestures in front of television - again still at the hours where kids still awake. I just learned that in "today tonight" - on Channel Seven. They argument was that show was intended for 25-ish audience, but the way I see it, it is more like a show that organised/run by 25-ish people. Not that age matter...

SouthPark 1008 Make Love Not Warcraft Full Episode

I am not a WoW fan - and this episode made me sure that I did a right thing. The last things I need are to get fatter and acnes....

Real Gilligan's Island Sexy Pie Fight

I like this version of Gilligan's Island better. I guess this was all the boys imagined when watching the originals.

Sydney, Ahoy!

 
 
 

Beautiful weather, great food, awesome friends (and new friends) and a lot of booze. Add a yacht and Sydney sceneries, a bit of water, that'll make a perfect day.

Fore some people, including myself - we added beer and watermelon on a park and some football (soccer for you americans). Came home and took a nice hot bath and hit the bed. What a day....
