Finally managed to get a day off this week and our plans to the park were scrapped since we decided to sleep in. What a waste of the day! We only managed to have lunch at KCR at about 4 in the evening and decided to go Bondi Beach. Scrap that again. Ended up at Centennial Park instead since LY has never been there. Hence, most of the photos were taken at the park again.

We decided to give miss D a lift since she wanted to head to Bondi Junction after work to do abit of window shopping. We ended up having sushi for dinner. Two days in a row of Jap cuisine. Maybe I should head down to Ben's Thai for the yummy 101 dish sometime soon. 

Mr H will be arriving soon on Sunday. I'm sure he has alot of goodies to show from his Singapore/Malaysia trip. Hopefully some nice lens as well.

PS : might meet up with the GJ crew for a spot of dinner sometime soon. It's been way too long overdue!

Bored out of my wits! Haven't got much planned cept for lunch with LY today before her shift started. Decided to have japanese at Ichiban Boshi at Bondi Junction. It's great for a quick satisfying meal with decent prices. I decided to have the karaage-don while she had the salmon don.

Salmon Don $12.00

Karaage Don $10.50

After dropping her off to work, I decided to check out Centennial Park before picking her up and it was hugeeeee!! It's a huge piece of untouched,bare land with endless parking. Had a bit of a go with my camera to pass time.

Photography is such an expensive hobby that I really need to curb my desires of getting lenses, flash, and all the what nots of any possible dslr accessory available. I'm actually thinking of either getting a wide angle lens which costs about $800 for a really nice one or just a prime lens, maybe the 35mm f1.8.

Sigh. If only my job pays more.

Tired. Disappointed. Annoyed.

Lunch did not turn out as expected to be. It rained heavily after work ended and had oporto for lunch. I'm really starting to hate fast food especially from food courts. My tummy deserves better!

I'm really annoyed at people who are ignorant towards others. I'm not saying I'm perfect either. I do have a bad temper. But in general, people should also be perceptive and know what to prioritize and for who. Not just turn a blind eye and think about oneself. If this keeps up, I might be having lunch alone more often in the not so distant future. I'd rather just cook and eat good food at home than have fast food most of the time outside anyway. For the readers out there, I'm sorry but there won't be any tantalizing food pics of my lunch which I'm sure would have been better than oporto if it didn't rain. 

But I did manage to snap some random shots while walking around and waiting for a certain someone to show up. Who knows, this might be a regular thing. The "waiting" i mean.

Mum called me today after not hearing from her in awhile. Talked to little sis too and she's envious of my dslr. Hehehehe. She even wanted to get me jealous by saying she wants to get an iphone. Tsk Tsk. Can't wait to meet them in January where I can optimize my camera to the fullest. Maybe I should create a family album seeing we don't have one for as long as I can remember.

So where should I take them to?

Don't look back.

It's been a wet and rainy day after scorching weather for the past few days. Sydney really has such a weird weatherman. Maybe he's just bored. I decided to stay in today while LY went out to look for her friends from insearch before they leave. Decided to have the oh-so-yummy-kids-cravings of buttered corn. Just like ned's corn in cup back home in kk when I was a little kid.

My homemade buttered corn

It has been pretty mundane nowadays with just work and staying home being my routine cycle. It's just too bad that most people had to go back home and I'm left here. At least getting paid reduces the worries. Had a chance to play wii today and it's still not as responsive as it should be. Maybe I'm just a PS3 kind of guy.

Was actually thinking to learn more new dishes so I can actually post them up here, and eat them all too. =)

Made lambchops today for dinner and it was just alright. Need to get more recipessss!!!!!

Marinated lamb chops

Tomorrow is just another day at work. Will be opening with Nicole till 11. Might have beef pho with LY before her shift.

PS : anyone has any recommendations for a good job in Sydney?? I need more cash!!!!

After a hell long time of not blogging, I am officially back!! And with a new mate to boot. I finally got myself a dslr camera on Saturday in which shall be accompanying me on many trips to come (I hope). So looking forward to try (and snap) new and old eateries as well as the trip to Perth with my family to prepare my lil sis for her 1st year in Australia. Don't think Sa will be there since she'd rather be in UK by now. Miss spending times with the good ol kk buddies.

Anyway, here's a little something from pushing my new baby's buttons.

Taken along Lachlan St, Waterloo

LY's sis made a batch of brownies which tasted pretty good. MMMMmmmmmm.... Supper indulgence only makes me fatter. *Sigh*

Guess that's all I've managed to learn in a day of quick photography. Might head down to the park or beach sometime later this week when I'm not working.

PS : I MISS DURIANSSSSS.....
