My 2011 in Photos






The year starts with me working as an intern in Ernst & Young. Life as an auditor ain't easy.











This is a photo I took during one of my outstation audits. Pretty messy workplace we had. Haha













CNY's around the corner! Ah Ma and my bro were preparing some snacks.












Bamboo adventure, in preparation for Pirates Ahoy!













You have no idea how much time we put into making these weird bamboo structures. They were parts of a boat.











Success at last. We made it despite the rain!











I think this photo needs no explanation.

















Not forgetting my numerous visits to the beach to dig for these.











I'm not the only siput fan. All smiles!















On the way to Cameron Highlands with family. Cool, bro!













I enjoy visiting strawberry farms.














Fresh strawberry dessert, home-made.














Farewell Mr Kee! Hope you're doing well wherever you are now!












Happy birthday Mr Banana! That's supposed to be me =.=












DURIANS!!! Hehehe














First semester of degree ends. Time for some sightseeing.











Langkawi was beautiful :D














Happy birthday Ms Carole! Li Qian's foot was injured, but he still joined us.










A one night stay at Hard Rock Hotel Penang. A once in a lifetime experience.













Lunch together before leaving the hotel.













Faiye returns from UK and visits us.













The largest chicken rice party I've ever been to.













My old lappy suddenly decides to retire.














Photo of old lappy, on my new lappy! Haha












Karen leaves for UK. Good luck!!!













Papa gets fascinated by some frog dishes. Delicious, but expensive.












Marketing 100 debate. War of the tongues!














After debate, still good friends la. Haha...












Making Sushi at Zhong Yang's house. I'd say we actually did quite a good job.
















Our works of art. Not exactly pretty, but edible.













My favourite hot chocolate, at Dave's Deli Queensbay.













Guess who got hold of my uncle's old treasure!













Our last outing for the year. Carlyn's birthday at Full House.













Second semester of degree ends. This time I'm interning at Western Digital. Here's a photo of our Christmas dinner.










Me choosing my present! Yay...








We're down to the last 8 hours of the year. I'm happy with my 2011. Are you happy with yours? =)

Australia Soon

As you already know, I'll be going to Australia middle of next year to complete my degree. Performing this stunt requires 1 year's time, beginning from next July. Since I had some free time after work today, I decided to check out how Australia is like now. No serious research. Just some random google-ing.

The Great Barrier Reef! But of course, I won't be holidaying much :P

Very impressive indeed, provided you don't drown.

Now let's look at something more relevant. I'm not going to the Great Barrier Reef. I'm going to Perth, and that's where I'll be stuck until I graduate. I heard it's pretty boring there, but hey, I'm just going for a year, so why ask for so much?

Perth. Not bad, eh?

This photo looks oddly unnatural, but I hope Perth is this nice.

Curtin University! That's where I'm headed.

Australia looks great. I'll miss everything about home, but at least I'll get myself some nice scenery to enjoy. Of course, there's always the downside...



So staying alive in Australia requires much skill. Looks like I have half a year left to develop my survival techniques. Ah well, like they say... high risk, high return.

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone. Allow me to start by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope you had the chance to enjoy fireworks and participate in a countdown somewhere. Better still, to my Christian friends I hope you had a wonderful time having Christmas dinner with family.

Finally we can all get a well deserved holiday. Except Santa Claus of course. That guy only works once a year, so I see no point in pitying him. Yes he has to worry about delivering billions of presents within a single night, but still, he only freaking works ONCE a year! He doesn't even need to run his toy factory. The elves do that for him. I wish I get the chance to audit his factory one day. It's probably called something like Claus Industries Pte Ltd.

But enough of Santa. At least this year, those of us working get an extra day off. Monday's a replacement holiday because Christmas is on Sunday. Yayyyyyy... another chance to wake up late. That's a (lazy man's) luxury.

Oh, and while you're busy receiving this Christmas, don't forget to give too. There's much joy in making others happy. Enjoy yourselves :D
