{Updates~~}

Before my memory fails me, here are some of the few happenings over the past weeks that ought to be chronicled:

Clare's birthday (17 Sept)
It was xuan's english housemate's 24th birthday!! She really knows how to celebrate and stuff. When I popped by the flat in the morning, there she was, her room crammed full with cards, balloons, party poppers, the party stuff etc. And she single-handedly liven up the otherwise drab apartment with her birthday flowers and banners!! (This takes 3 big, bright bouquets and a long banner). And for her dinner, we went to Breakfast CreekHotel, the Raffles hotel equivalent n Brisbane! Its was a really nice, family place actually, and reasonable food prices as well. We eat, drink, talk (though actually I felt quite funny, being overpopulated by her ang moh friends), and soaked in the australian culture of eating at good restaurants. Oh, and one thing, caucasians do sing the birthday song, in addtion to clinking glasses. So the birthday celebration was an eye-opener.

Yvonne's birthday(20 Sept)
I've got plenty of September babies surrounding me. And Yvonne turned 21 just last last weekend. We tried so hard to get her a present, and in the end I settled for a book which is "dress-size proof" and a sure "no mistake" present. And the cake was a 1kg caramel cheese cake (sinful sinful!) shared by just 5 persons (Han song was here!!). I was fretting over the cake actually, but settled for the caramel one as it was wad she and xuan liked, even though I would not go near caramel if I had a choice. We stuffed ourselves crazy that night -- a proper asian dinner at sunnybank, then coffee at a real cool, eclectic place known as the three monkeys!! Well, besides eating, I didn't do much, just listened to lotsa "stories" from sg wushu and aussie stuff (courtesy of my wushu frens and Dan). Still, it was just a great night to chill out.


Church Anniversary
Yea, it was quite cool, the celebrations. Its like a big high school party, just that it was the christian community version. Pastor shared on 1 Peter 2:9 one of my fav verses in the bible. Had a church membership class in the morning before I caught "Stormbreaker" with a couple of CG ppl. A tiring day, but, fun.

THE AUSSIE CHRONICLES (2006-2008)

A chapter of life in Brisbane.... Chronicles of the house on top of the hill, the lazy Sunday afternoons, the romantic Great Court, and the azure Brisbane River rested beneath the starry heavens.... Also a chapter of life in Singapore, in Malaysia, the place I was born and bred =)
