Cousin!

My cousin, Xiao Lan came over to Australia for 3 weeks and had just left. I hadn't seen here in probably 8 years and was looking forward to getting to know her better. We had a blast! Before I turn this post into an ode to her awesomeness, let me just succinctly say that we had lots of fun! I wished I could take time off so we could go to the outbacks and have some real adventures, or even explored more wilderness, but time was just not permitting- with a PhD and all..

Xiao Lan also has a blog, with some great pictures of her travel here:

*Did the South Australia (Adelaide) for the first time. Caught up with Ju Ann and her new hubby, Roshan and had a blast monkeying around! Will post picture from that soon.

*Did the Great Ocean Road, with the lab peeps, which was cool too.

*Introduced her to all my friends, and she got along famously with everyone!

Now that she's left, it's back to the daily grind...

I'm a dork, I am!!

Hahaha.. I just discovered my old photos. Taken in Cherating with Gordie, SK, and Ping- 2004, July. I was...26! I love these photos. We drove overnight to Cherating, stayed up whole night to watch the sunrise and waited for the turtles to nest.... while having beer of course. And up to silly antics as usual.. This was the good ol' days before PhD, babies, girlfriends and boyfriends- when we could all still stay up late, and climb coconut trees. And no matter how hard I try- I just could not look not-dorky. I love you guys!

Adventures of one Mrs. Wong in The Land Down Under

Mrs. Wong on her first (windy) Sunday in St. Kilda, with Gerald and Ginger (GG's). Mrs. Wong's first weekend in Melbourne- getting acquainted to Melbournian lifestyle with a cocktail in the afternoon! Mrs. Wong on the Great Ocean Road- she didn't like the cold wind (which was pretty frightful for Spring, but she thinks it was quite exciting). This trip involved a lot of very cold tiny Asian people scurrying from the People Mover (the car) to the spot of interest, peering out of their hoods/ scarves/ jackets for 30 seconds and mumbling through frozen lips "Ah, very nice" and back again to the comfort of the car. In the background is the 7 and 1/2 Apostles (formerly known as 12 Apostles). Said Mrs. Wong on her first winery tour around the Mornington Peninsula. Despite the rather chilly morning, she still couldn't resist Gelati. Sometimes I wonder who the kid is... (picture taken at Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm, where us being Asians, proceeded to almost wiping ou...
