Lunar Eclipse

I witnessed a spectacular lunar eclipse today from my own balcony. The first stage of the lunar eclipse was shadowed by clouds. However, it slowly cleared and what I saw was a beautiful sight. The moon was slowly diminishing and became golden to crimson red, what they call a blood moon. Here's some photos that Keith took tonight.

21st

Thursday night, August 23rd, I was invited to Sania's 21st birthday party. I know Sania from work and she's one of my closer friends in Australia. We click cos she's only just been in Geelong for 2 years or so having migrated from India with her family.

It's been a loooooooong time since I've been to a 21st. I can barely remember mine, forgivable I guess since it's more than a decade! I'm getting olddd *sniff*sniff*

*Think*Ponder*Think* If I'm not mistaken I had dinner at Hillarys Harbour with Kat Kat, Jo and Hung for my 21st. We then went to a karaoke in Perth where the rest of my friends turned up. Kat Kat ordered various shooters that contained banana midori for me to skull. There were about six in total I think. I'm not sure how I survived that night, I must have because we made it to Excapade after that for some clubbing. I still have photos stashed away in Malacca, at my parents place. Hmmm..... nice sweet memories.....it's all coming back to me now. Nice to have shared it with you Kat Kat, Jo and the rest *hugs* :) Wish you were there too SleepieKoala!

Anyway, here's some photos of the birthday girl and me.

Finish Deathly Hallows At Last

At last... I've finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It took me roughly 3 weeks I think. Now I'm going to start from the very beginning with The Philosopher's Stone. Missing the second and third series but it'll be a while before I finish the first one anyway. Will head to Borders on the weekend to get them.

Bak Kut Teh

Keith asked what I wanted to eat for dinner this morning and I told him Bak Kut Teh. So when I got home from work I found a pot of Bak Kut Teh boiling on the stove. It was so yummy eating it with yam rice in the cold weather. I had 2 serves of rice! Forgot to buy "tau foo pok" but still tasted delicious. Will be having Bak Kut Teh again tomorrow night :) Yummmmmm.

Watched "The Queen" on dvd tonight, acted by Helen Mirren. She did quite well in her role. With my current fascination for penguins I went to hire a documentary titled March of the Penguins as told by Morgan Freeman last night. It's worth a watch as the emperor penguins are still able to demonstrate love in the harshest place on earth.
