I put lots of monica and williams photos there!! please come and visit us!!

I bought a new car today. The one only has two doors, very sporty looking. White colour. It's going to come to me in 2 weeks!! I have been searching for cars since this monday. First went to Volkswagan to see Eros the convertable one but dad said it's dangerous. Then to Mazda to see the new Mazda 3. It's pretty and the price is cheaper but i don't feel safe in it. Went to BMW too but didn't like it either. Too high tech for me. So I went to Mercedes cause I have been driving Mercedes for 14 years...and in terms of keeping in long term it might be good for money. So today I got a very good deal from the Mercedes Macintosh in Mosman. The sales is also very quick and efficient too. I walked in to the shop yesterday afternoon and this morning 10 am I bought one from him. I also registered it as a company car for my business so it's great for tax benefit. This is the new scheme that current government has for small business owner so love to take advantage of that too. I will show you the photo soon as soon as i get my new car! A brand new white colour CLC 200 Mercedes Benz!!So exciting!!

We went for monica's wedding rehearsal....they pay so much attention to details.....amazingly organised.

Mum loves this place. Very typical japanese noodle shop in Crows nest. the soup is indeed very good. But everytime we have to remind them that the soup can't be too salty. We went there for lunch today again.
 

I think Sydney is getting more and more expensive....Everytime I go to wolly to get grocery just for one or two people, it will cost me at least 100 dollars easily for nothing. Now I go to Aldi. This fridge full of food is costing me around 100. In Wolly it will be 200!! How come Sydney has such high cost living?! Sometimes i think if you don't actually earn Australian money in Australia, it's so hard to survive. Especially for the parents to earn money in Taiwan and send the kids to study in Sydney. In here my weekly expense for one person can be easily more than 500 dollars a week..this is only for bills, grocery, food and professional cost. Not including morgage or buying clothes or entertainment! Scary hey.

This blue eye dragon restaurant is awarded the best restaurant of the year. And it's a Taiwanese fusion restaurant in Prymont!! Can't believe its Taiwanese. Everynight the restaurant is booked out and it's actually quite expensive. The whole restaurant is full of Australian. The chef is a 60 or 70 year old Taiwanese A-MA. But they successfully made this restaurant becoming a trendy high class oriental experience. Very cool. They even publish their cookbook. Expensive though. It's about 60-70 each person for typical Taiwanese food.
Please check out the link that my friend wrote about this place.....she wrote so much better than the way i wrote!

welcome to re loate with me!!

It's father's day here today. Dad and Mum arrived Sydney too. After teaching in the morning i went to monica and william's church to rehearse my singing with the pianist. I am going to sing Panis Angelicus and The prayer. The acounstic was very nice in that church. Anyway, why do I always feel that i got lots of things to do? I was still looking for dress to buy for monica's wedding. ON top of that i need to buy a car too. Today after yumcha we went to Mazda to check out MAzda 3 sp25. Then Volkswagan Jetta and Eros. Gosh I like the convertable....but not very practical isnt it. tomorrow might go to BMW and Benz. Just to see the difference. Don't like buying cars. Not a single clue what to ask and what to choose. I found it very stressful. Especially i need tp get one urgently. Dinner we went to the OZ BBQ at the rocks. You bought a raw steak and then BBQ it yourself. That raw steak was 30 dollars. If you Grilled it badly then you got to eat it badly. Quite a lot of tourists there. Bit cold this evening.....we just drove home straightaway. Happy father's day!

I went ice skating after teaching in the morning. On the way back on busy wet military road my car totally lost control and spin. To the left first and suddently to the right and did a huge turn. That really scared the hell out of me. You sat in the car but you had to control over. Luckily and very luckily there were no cars beside me....lots of cars before and after me but happened to have no cars on either side of me. I feel incredibly grateful. My 14 year old Benz got to go. 14 years is long enough. I have to let him go. God is telling me that. The NRMA membership actually due to renew in 2 days and my parents are coming in 2 days. All this syncronise the incident. Yes even though I hate to let him go, I have to let go. Time to get a new car finally.

Last friday we went to Nancy and Alex's place to have a Wii party. I saw Elanor had a pedometer on her. She said she has been on a competition with friends. they have to record how many steps they walk every day for a week. According to statistic, you have to walk 10000 steps a day to keep healthy. So i bought one from Rebel sport yesterday. It was made in Taiwan. Small little thing costs me 30 dollars (780 Taiwanese dollars?). I bet this probably costs only 150 Taiwanese dollars Maximum in Taiwan. Anyway, Today I swtiched it on and record it. So far I have 13966 steps (now its 10 pm). Looks like I walk pretty much enough for an average day. Cool.
