So on the 5th day upon arrival, which was Sept 16 (my lil bro's birthday), we decided to take a ride down to IKEA (they dont pronounce 'ee-kea' like we always did back home, they say 'eye-kea') for some cheap home furnishings. That's me in Sean's jacket, its cold out there that day, and I didnt have anything warm enough to wear. It's really a nice jacket... there's a dragon on my right-hand sleeve... so 'leehom-ish'!! =)
My brother and his banana - breakfast.
He was fascinated by the fact that there are actually oranges in the garden... huge ones... but they're green in color... dunno if its edible or not...
On the bus, I was sitting behind them. No pun intended, but I thought it was a must-take picture to share with you guys. If I have to name this picture, the title will be: Compare and Contrast. Asians and Americans in U.S., they generally look like them. Okay I might be slightly mean here.. but hey, I'm not passing any judgment man. Just being observant, that's all. It
is a fact anyway.
This is my not-so-cool IKEA picture. Check out
Brandon's blog for nicer pictures of our outings, and
Chea Ean's for interesting pics.
This is actually a huge truck's car number plate. They can actually choose any letters and/or numbers for their car's number plate. Cute, eh. =)
Umm.. this is my not-so-nice picture of a smooth and sleek car. It might look like nothing to you, and it might be true, this may be nothing special.. but there are many many more cars like that here... abundant! Smooth and sleek. I like! =)
Very cute pillows. When I'm rich, I'll get one of these. =P
Well we were famished after shopping around. So we practically gobbled down our meals, grabbed more coffee which is of free refills, and took the free flow of Zesta crackers! Even the salad dressings we didnt leave out. Terrible cheapskate Malaysians I swear. The it's-free-so-we-should-take-all-but-leave-one mentality. Goodness... I admit I was, and still am, horribly disgusted and ashamed by our acts. (Well sadly I didnt grab those personally, but I didnt go against it and I ate those stuff too, so I have to count myself in). Mental not to self: dont do that again!!! -_-"

Hi Yizhen
When I first arrived in OZ, my first impression is also "wow! look at the size of Oz women, they are large!!!" later in life, I realise the reason. The wind in Oz is very fierce and strong, if one is too skinny, they will be blown away, one have to be large and solid to stay put. So I guess it is ok for Kam Lun to eat as many Jaffa as he like. (;-)

yup, in aus they pronounce it as "eye-kea" as well.. hmm, could it be something wrong with our pronounciation then??
hmmm maybe it's us that's wrong. cuz i think i heard the radio station back home (forgot if its hitz.fm or light n easy) pronounce it as eye-kea too!
