Catching Up

I’m giving myself a bit of a break from Bloggie Wednesdays for today. I’ve had quite the past few weeks when the parents were in Melbourne for a visit. Four people sharing one tiny bathroom and toilet? Not fun. But other than that, I had a great time with them, and I’m missing them heaps already (they left for Malaysia yesterday morning).

Here’s what I’ve been up to in short:

  • Went to Chadstone Shopping Centre a lot with the parents. It was too hot to bring them to the city, so we enjoyed free air-conditioning at Chaddy. Hey, I’m Chinese and I’m cheap like that 😛
  • Last weekend, we spent a couple of days at Tasmania, specifically Hobart. It was a good time to show Mum around the city, especially since my brother used to study at the University of Tasmania. I absolutely enjoyed Tassie. It’s an underrated holiday destination, and I’ll definitely be back to check out the east and west coast.
  • I finally managed to pack every item received at the ABBW away! This was a big feat, as you saw how much stuff were given to us. Just don’t open the drawers in the study, be extra careful sliding the wardrobe door open, and never ever look under the bed, okay?
  • I was up in Sydney yesterday with Val and Amy for a Proctor & Gamble event at the Barney Martin Hair Salon. Guess what? We actually had a chance to recreate the Pantene Aqua Light hair commercial you see on TV, and this time, it’s us swishing and swooshing our hair!

That me doing my thang!

It was also good taking a bit of a break from the blogging front. I felt like I needed to recharge the blogging batteries for a short while. For some reason, I don’t feel 100% charged yet, but I’m getting there 🙂

Before I leave, here’s a photograph I took at Mt Wellington overlooking the city of Hobart. I snapped a few pictures, stitched them together and formed a panoramic shot. ‘Tis a pity I didn’t do this when I was there last winter. The mountain looked more beautiful with snow on it. Still, it was a lovely sight to behold.

      Cclarebear: Thanks! OMG it was so much fun. I was so awkward swishing and swooshing my hair. I kept being asked to “shake my booty” so that the hair swooshing would look better. I felt like a tortoise doing the Macarena 😛

    I love Tassie! I agree that it’s under rated, most people think it’s boring in Tassie, but I’ve been twice and I’d go again, and again, and again, and again.

      Celeste: I so know what you mean. I’m already planning our next trip to Strahan, the Bay of Fires and Bruny Island. So many places left to see. I never understood why so many people find Tassie boring. I find it utterly fascinating!

      Megan: Do it do it do it do it do it! Do the cruises, see the sights and enjoy the cruises. Just don’t expect to do any shopping at all, and you will enjoy Tassie immensely 😛

    That is one amazing picture from Mt. Wellington.

    When I was there last time, It was raining and then started snowing. All this in early March! Love Tassie – it brings back beautiful memories.

      Lilpil: Oh the snow makes Mt Wellington absolutely magnificent! The last time I was there, there was snow everywhere. We walked on the hard snow most of the time. This time, we finally realised we were actually walking on top of sharp rocks! 😛
