Seeing more

Ivy and I were tired of our weekly routine life.. so we decided to take short overnight visits to nearby holiday spots over the last two weekends. We thought it would be easy to book rooms since there is an alleged ecconomic slowdown.. what ecconomic slowdown nonsense! almost all rooms over most weekends in every known NSW holiday spot were fully booked. Anyway, we managed to hunt down rooms at wentworth falls in the blue mountains and kiama in the south coast. The good weather was a blessing and both locations were beautiful holiday areas.

our room view at wentworth falls. ivy likes the highlands... i am more of a beach person ^_^ however i dun think the mountain areas will be nice during the cooler months

the zig zag express at the blue mountains. nothing special.. we were taking advantage of a "buy one get one free" coupon  we had ^_^

we stopped over a few vineyards at southern highlands on our way back to sydney from kiama...the vineyards here are small. it's a lot better at hunter valley.

SIngle life

I was a single man for a week coz Ivy headed back to Spore to attend her younger bro's wedding. It felt unusual initially when I was home alone... but work took up most of my time and i did manage to do some photography with my ex-colleague Sonny. Didn't manage to take many nice photos mainly coz of the dull weather. Sonny is now working for a centrelink associated company..he handles those dole suckers. I was amazed on how tough it is to cut dole payment to these lazy people. Not many countries can afford such a wasteful system.

come cacti formation tat i felt looked unusual
