Updates from Oz

It has been another month since my last update. Really updating my blog less frequently! Sorry for that ya! Details of the highlights for the past month is as follows:

Sumptuous lunch boxes and meals (continued)
With Haz starting work, she started to prepare lunch boxes for two instead of just one for me! Let your saliva drip with the following pict of the delicious looking lunch boxes whipped up by Haz!

Sydney Wildlife World

Haz and I visited the newly opened Sydney Wildlife World @ Darling Harbor. We had not visited any touris-ty attractions for quite some time already. Frankly, this attraction is a tad too small and the wildlife on display is quite disappointing in quantity, quality and variety. Maybe I had expected too much but given the admission price of $27 per adult, I expected more.

Hazel was particularly excited to see the large range of colorful butterflies at the first habitat near the entrance and other interesting animals/insects. Attached below are the nice photographs taken:

The cute koala (but lazy too):

Will go visit a wildlife park where we can get up close with the animals. I believe that it will be more fun and much more awesome experience touching them, feeding them. Keep a close lookout for such updates ya.. =)

Favorite sport

Bowling! Super expensive over here! 1 game cost about $10, 2 games $19 and 3 games cost nearly $25. On weekend nights after 9pm, 4 games cost $22 at certain bowling centres.

Main reason being that there is just 1 MAJOR player over here in NSW and that's AMF (Always Mean Fun). The other bowling centres are small fry and thus with a monopoly, you will never get cheap rates.

Games of bowling here really burn a hole in your pocket but it is actually quite a fun game to do together as a group at nights where you just wanna do something. Max and Chris are children of a national bowler, thus, they are good in this game (although I can stil beat Max in it some times...).

I really appreciate bowling in Singapore. What is $4 per game?!? Soo cheap! Haha..

Look out for my next post on the Australian Idol Grand Finals 2006 held at Sydney Opera House. I was there......
