Wisdom Lost

Well, I had lost my wisdom on Friday afternoon! The wisdom I'm referring to is my wisdom tooth that had been bugging me for many years. It was the phobia of having the extraction surgery after the experience of removing 2 sets of pre-molars (milk and permanent) over 16 weeks in my early teens. That is one tooth every fortnight with the permanent set barely protruded out from the gum!

The dentist advised me to take the medication 2 hours after the surgery. That last hour is the most agonising of which I was in pain and feeling chilly though I had a jumper on as well as the heater switched on while the temperature outside was hovering aroun 18C sunny!

A good old friend actually picked me up after the surgery and bought/cooked me porridge and soup! Thank you......

I am recovering but it's a whole lot better now.

Friendships

The Mansion in Werribee ParkThere were some cute moments before this snap (think crab's movements) Geelong HostsUncle, The Legend, with his Apprentice (depending on which topic, could be a reverse)Wii Fit Hula Hoop moments (I beat them all with 314)!I'm not bad at Yoga too!

In the last few weeks, I have had some friends visiting Melbourne with a couple staying over my humble place. It's tiring but certainly fun to be able to catchup.

We visited The Mansion in Werribee, Torquay and had a BBQ over at a friend's house in Geelong. There were some memorable moments like the group pic above in The Mansion, the "Tua Ki" heat-stroke indicent in Torquay, the group pic where we dipped our feet into the cooling seawater in Torquay (friends' cameras which we are still waiting for the pics), the Hokkien song by Chicken Wing, sharing of medical knowledge by the Doc and Uncle's awesome stories.

There were some Wii Fit sessions too and I didn't know Wii Fit actually means one has to be quite fit to accomplish some of the exercises. Hula Hoop sessions, some Yoga poses and muscle toning are notable ones where we still need a lot more practices (just to note, I need not as much as the Doc....LOL).

We grew up with one another as well as going through some ups and downs together. I guess that one tiny little strand of string has bonded us together for life. Friendships are forever but it's still up to us to at least make an effort to cherish them. That effort was definitely apparent here.

Happy Easter

Slideshow of Images

I have just added a slideshow of some wedding images as a test. It looks great and smooth.

EDITED
I have updated it with some new scripts.

The Grand Illusionist

After being informed by a friend over the weekend that David will be in Melbourne for one show only, I couldn't resist myself and have confirmed that I will be attending it come 15 August 2009. Hopefully, the show "An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion" won't be cancelled. The David I'm referring to is the one and only David Copperfield.

I was amazed watching his feats on TV. Making Statue of Liberty disappear and re-appear, walking through the Great Wall of China, standing in the vortex of fire (Tornado of Fire) and his levitation, just to name, are some of the unforgettable experience. I'm certain that seeing him live on stage will be another "out of body" experience!

Excited I am though it's more than 4 months away!

Sarah & Josh

I have been missing in action for a long while. 2 of my school friends from my primary school days visited Melbourne and bunked over my place while another swim friend of mine too drops by. We had a blast visiting some places. More to come later.

So, here are some of the photos taken on the International Women's Day, 8 March 2009. A lovely couple as well as great groomsmen, bridesmaids, parents and friends! It was too sunny on the day itself which led to harsh lighting most of the time.

There are at least half way to go in completing their wedding photos.
