The Demanding Family

…kidding…!!!...hhhhmmmm…seems like you guys underestimate my position as a sophomore…it’s harder then it looks…I haven’t quite found my feet yet…still trying to get use to the new schedule and work load…and the other thing is that…I don’t have THE GOLD MINE of FAMILY POTRAITS that you are have somehow assumed I have…hahahah….sorry…but it’s true…remember…half the time…the family wasn’t together…it was only towards the end of Sam’s stay that we were in the position to calmly have a meal together…the family portrait seems to be the only one I have…I think it look just dandy…none of you guys complained when I showed it to you…hhaahhaha...anyway, I’ll try my best to fill in the voids.

It seems that this couple have some sort of syndrome that prevents
them from looking at the camera. (not the first time it happened)

Wombats seems to have some kind of afflilation with Sam...Jia Ming seems to
be reminded of Sam at the sight of a wombat...

Meng Haw the gallant horse

"Mabo's" Church...hahaha...kidding...just a traditional aboriginal church

Toast to the host...and hostess

Typical evening in the house

The Three Sisters...if you ask me, they don't resemble faces at all

Candy store...i never seen so much candy in one place at a singular time...
must be a great place to be during the Christmas season

Winter Break 2006

First I apologize to my faithful readers…I know I have disappointed my small but very supportive fan base…and those of us in the business know it’s all about the fans…anyway here are some of the long awaited highlights from my winter break with the family…I have to upload them quickly or else some fans might start boycotting me…hahahah…plus I pinky promise Serene I’ll upload them first thing when I get home.

Circular Quey revisted

Lunch at the fish market...yummers...good stuff

Opera House revisited...picture taken from the Harbour Bridge

Harbour Bridge with the sunset backdrop

Couldn't be any more blokeky...

The guys staring at the gigantic reptile thing...not a T-Rex by the way...

I was the guinea pig...since none of them wanted to get on the mechanical contraption

The much anticipated family photo...dinner prepared by me...but the credit was controversially given to Sam and Jia Ming...

This has BROTHERLY LOVE written all over it...!!!

Afternoon tea at Leura , Blue Mountains in a place called Eagle Boys...hahahaha...nah...it's called bygone beauts...which included scones (you have to say it the scottish way) with strawberry jam and cream accompanied with tea...yummers...

Goodbye to a Friend

Oh STEWART, What a turbulent friendship we have endured.

It’s hard to imagine that our friendship has lasted so long…

One and a half years…alas, it’s time to bid each other farewell.

So many memories I will cherish…

I remember the first time I met you…

I was shocked at the price you demanded for our collaboration,

I had no choice…but since then, we have come so far…

You were indeed a friend that brought out some of the best in me.

But you were a difficult friend as well…

Your theorems and ideas far exceeded mine and constantly left me dumb-founded.

Persistent you were…forcing yourself onto me when I wanted nothing to do with you.

Sometimes I found myself toiling and slaving over you…sometimes…sometimes even having sleepless nights just trying to understand you…

BUT STEWART…you shall haunt me no more…for today…we part and say our final goodbyes…

Goodbye STEWART…I'll cherish our time together…I shall always try to remember everything you had taught me…

I will miss you dearly my friend…

I’m sure at some point in my life, I shall need you again…but I hope it will be few and far between…

So long and farewell my friend…
