Expensive bottled water

Why is bottled water so expensive?  I don’t know!  It needs to be to keep the economy going?  Nah.

I have seen bottled water costing as much $3.50 in vending machines.  What is this world coming to? Its actually more expensive than a litre of fuel.

Do we really need expensive bottled More >

Sleepless in Melbourne

No.  I don’t have sleep apnea or any sleeping disorders.  My kids are all sleeping through the night and I have no immediate worries.

I have been on work pager duties for the last 2 weeks.  It was going smoothly (no paging) for the 1st 10 days and when I last More >

Bus shelters vandalism

Broken glass near bus shelters are a common scene here in Melbourne.  Especially after a long weekend and during school holidays. I drove past many bus and tram shelters last long weekend, I lost counts of the numbers of shelters/stops that looked like the picture on the left.

Jadon’s 7th birthday party

Thursday is night shopping and thus a good night for Jadon’s 7th birthday party. Credits to the partner’s planning. She surprises me sometimes.

Recent events such as the Haiti and Chile earthquakes have claimed thousand of lives. Families and friends are affected in a big way, however we always bounce back and it never cease to amaze me – human perseverance More >

T.O.Y

I was browsing on the internet and happened to come across a blog called T.O.Y “Thinking of You”.

What a good and meaningful acronym!

I can use T.O.Y on the missus after work today. She sure will be surprised and love my thoughtfulness, hehehe. On the other hand, she might also be More >

Quiet Chinese New Year in Melbourne

Year of the Tiger it is…  This year, it was on a Sunday 14/2/10.  Yeah…

It’s not a public holiday here in Australia for Chinese New Year(CNY).  Maybe mandarin speaking K Rudd can align our nation with our neighbouring SE Asian countries and declare CNY a public holiday?  I am sure More >

1st post, a giant step…

Oi Oi Oi… What is this? I was thinking of a short and punchy domain name for this blog site. I had a few suggestions from friends but there were too ordinary. My friends might disagree though. What’s better than the Aussie chant/catchphrase “Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy Oi Oi Oi…” Hence More >
