My third home country...

I'd say Malaysia is my third home country because I have a friend whom I consider her as my family member.  Her search for the food is brilliant, so she can take me to the different places every time.                            From the  local outside food court up to the fancy elegant restaurant, we indulge our tongues.

I introduce Japan and Malaysia this time because I stopped over at KL both ways .
They have very different culture, religion, tradition and food but our search for the good taste  will never  stop.  TQ my friends!
* I am learning Manglish(Malaysian English), TQ means Thank you.

They serve contemporary food and south african food

Smoked salmon, very good texture and taste

Muscle sauteed with butter,   oh la la~ delicious

We came here just for drinks so we had small snacks but next time we will dine here.

Spring, Summer,Autumn and Winter...which season do you like most?
When you are asked, do you think of the season of a country where you are living ??

Now my mind is in Japan so thinking of the seasons of Nippon.
This time I was in Sapporo in May,the first time in long long years.  I was so excited to see the cherry blossoms.  It is hard to answer my most favourite season.. Japan has distinctive characters in each
seasons...Its nature and of course its food,too.

If I was in Sapporo in Winter time, would it be my favourite season? ( I doubt it ha ha..)
I still haven't answer the question but it is fine not to...because it is not a matter of yes or no, black or white and good or bad.   " A virtue of Grey(between white and black) "is more acceptable in Japan.
Here! Enjoy the virtue of Pink.

goodies goodies at Katoomba

5:48am train for Katoomba left Central station on time.  Hardly anyone was in a train on Sunday morning.
2 hour train ride was very comfortable and relaxed.  But I was not having a day off , came here for work.

Anyway I had 1 hour free time at Katoomba, so I was wondering around the main street where all the shops expect cafe and bakery were still closed.

Window gazing to look for goodies....

Stanwell Park 2

80% I saw were ethnic Australian

   When we arrived around 9am at Stanwell Park,there were hardly anyone in a park.
 Walking to the beach, and there were so many of African Aussies  sitting on the sand.

After more than 2 hours of surfing, we came back to the park area and more Wow,Wow Wow~~~
Thousands of Middle Eastern,African,Asian Aussies were having picnic.  BBQ, Ethnic Food,
Muslim praying ceremony.....Just amazing,amazing...I have never seen such a huge amount of ethnic people hanging around in one place.   White Aussies are all in a surf!!!   I love to see variety of people (including us) enjoy themselves.

What do you think where this place is..Australia??

My favourite night spot in Sydney

Etty and Takkie

My favourite ride except surf board  is  Ferris wheel at Luna Park.  It is a great place to have a night view of Opera House and Harbour Bridge,and also Luna Park itself. Ferris wheel ride is $10 for 6 rounds.  This old style wheel amuses us a lot!!

Easter Holiday Surf at Maroubra

Searching for a good surf near-by , we three Jap surf chicks were heading to Maroubra.
  
At 6:30 there were quite numbers of surfers in a water.

 Ummmmm it was going to be tough!                                                        

Bra boys, Localism...that made Maroubra more tougher.

Yah, wave were 3ft and pretty good , as might had been expected it was hard to get waves.
On a  good set ,4-5 guys  at the same time took off and yelling as if they were in a battle field.
