Adelaide-Part 2

Work sponsored trip almost 2 weeks ago. Because it's almost 1 o'clock and I have stupidly made an appointment for 9 am on a Saturday morning, I will be going to sleep soon and am not in the mood to write too much.

Briefly, the whole lab went to Adelaide sometime during the Olympics period to check out the Supervisor's new place. Here are some photos I took of Adelaide city itself. Didn't do much, except slept and watch the Olympics- hooray for the Olympics!!

Here is a photo taken outside the Art Gallery of South Australia:



The State Library, with the jet-trail (whatever you call it?)

A view of the North Terrace, where the Library, Museum and Art Gallery are all situated. I love this photo because it captures the brilliance of Australian sky.

St. Peter's Cathedral


OK, sleepy time.

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...

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!
