Snippets of Melbourne

Melbourne. Been there and back, and missing it greatly.

It's a great place to have fun-filled family activities and outings, but the best thing we like about Melbourne is its people's warmth and hospitality. We felt very welcome right from the start, and we have Kak Tan & Family, Hasbi & Family, Cik Azman & Family, Faisal & Family, Tony & Katie and Jim & The girls to thank for all the wonderful help. Hope to see you guys again someday, and do look us up if you come over to Singapore...

Meanwhile, here are snippets of our month long Melbourne experience. Do visit our photoalbum for more pics.

I Finally Did It

After 4 long years, tonnes and tonnes of reading, plenty of nervous nights finishing last minute assignments, a few deadline extensions, a couple of nervous breakdowns, one or two thoughts of quitting and a big dose of guilt for having not attended a single tutorial and just half a lecture, I finally completed my SIM degree. Alhamdulillah, with God's help, an immense amount of support from my beloved wife, loving children, parents and in-laws, and plenty of encouragement from friends and relatives, I finally made it. Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.

"Oii bila nak update blog ah?!"

Oklah so we've been LAZY, but surely one can be allowed to be THAT sometimes? ;)

Not that laziness equates apathy anyway. We're simply allowing ourselves to take a break, at least where blogging is concerned, and hopefully after 2 months of sinful laziness, some form of inertia can start us blogging again.

Anyway, puny excuses aside, we had our inertia yesterday.....In the form of a desperate call from a desperate woman that is Kak Tan *roll eyes*

"Eh mimi! bila nak update blog ah?!" she demanded.

Fine, just say you're addicted to me.....anyway, don't I always make you hyperventilate?

So, now that all system's going, I've only but one important mission to accomplish in this post. And that is to welcome Kak Tan to the blogging world!

I'm elated, excited, overwhlemed......I'm hyperventilating....cos here comes one of the most interesting personalities I've ever known.

She's intelligent, crazy, witty, crazy, big-hearted, crazy, talented, crazy, passionate, crazy, daring, crazy, funny, crazy and above all, unique.......

Welcome Babe!

Happy Gadget Day

Father's Day came early for me this year, in the form of a cool gadget that is all the rage nowadays - The GPS receiver. Sham (God bless her) got it for me, but she doesn't know it yet (HINT).......

K I'm merely 'helping' her decide what to get me, and this one's a good bargain to boot.....got it from auctions, $65 off market price (M, eat your heart out, bro)

The epitome of modern navigation, this new toy, ahem ok 'tool' of mine, will come in handy in our travels, outings and business errands. More pleasant rides ahead....so ya, I think this is definitely a good father's day gift.....right dear?!
