A Day To Reminisc

22 Nov 2008 is definitely a day to remember for some of us. It is the wedding day of my beloved friends. Due to this event, some of us managed to catch up with some good old friends back from the Uni days in Perth. I was excited for not only the wedding but the chance to meet up.

There of course were some interesting incidents that happened on this very day. Closure of a part of the road leading to the Church, "missing" champagne from the hired stretched limo, the breakdown of the hired limo, the winter-like weather with strong winds, hails, etc were some of the "excitements".

I unquestionably agreed with what the Groom said in his speech. "I rather marry the right girl on a wrong day than to marry the wrong girl on the right day".

Certainly, however these incidents are being looked at, it was a day to remember.

Time passes by so very quickly. One of our friends left last night. Getting the chance to meet up for the first time after more than 5 years is certainly one of the highlights. However, sending the very friend off last night and not knowing when our next meet will be aches me. I didn't say any goodbyes though.

Friends come and go but the truest friendships are forever. So, no goodbyes from me but "I'll see you soon" to all my dearest friends.

Perth Weekend - Murdoch University

Visiting a few friends in Perth over the past weekend certainly is fulfilling though too short and tiring. It's tough trying to keep everyone happy. For that reason, I kept my trip to myself and a handful of people to avoid disappointments.

Dropping by Murdoch Uni and its Student Village on the first day with my good ol' friend from college and uni days brought back memories from more than 9 years ago!

The courtyard and flats we lived in, the walkways and stairways we took, the halls and rooms we sat in. It was nostalgic. We even dropped by the usual place we got our lunches. However, the Asian Caravan was no longer there as it has been replaced by a proper hut/container that houses the kitchen! The aroma of Polo Chicken definitely brought us back in time. I took some shots of the food with my phone and sent to some usual suspects of the food! It was hilarous!

Here are some pics:

Flat 45 where some great memories!

More on the Perth trip later. Speaking of Murdoch Uni, a few of us managed to meet up in Melbourne for a good ol' friend's wedding! That will be the next post.......!

Beauty

It's been said time and again that beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. I've been and will continue to be working on capturing these beauties that have most of us ignoring them due to the hustle and bustle of modern living chasing after material dreams. There are beauties in all simple things that soothe some of us.

Here are some that I'd love to share.

We should all be taking some time soaking in the little simple but beautiful things around us.

1st November Post

I have been slacking off in blogging, processing and posting photo.

This month will be a hectic month for me. Work (not photography-related), visiting friends in Perth, a good ol' friend's wedding here in Melbourne and relatives' visit later in the month of which we will be heading to Great Ocean Road (GOR) for a weekend away will certainly keep me occupied. I am looking forward to my short trip to Perth, friend's wedding and GOR trip with my relatives.

My motivation for heading to office for work has been really badly affected even after the Bali trip. Anyway, I hope things will get better.

Here are some registry wedding photos taken in Oct before the Bali trip.

OH.......The news of RPK's release has been great! Now, that's a big blow to the government for invoking ISA on him! I can't hardly wait for more of RPK's writings and revalations!

Well, time to get ready for the buck's night of my friend! No cameras are allowed!
