Guess what's that???
My best friend Xiao ming
I don know how the fuck it got into my house but i made sure it wont live. So i smacked it with a magazine... It was my favourite cooking magazine too...
but i have no choice because i had nothing else with me to kill it!
I flipped it over to tak a pic... oh did i mention i carried it onto my table before i took a picture of it... nice and clear
On 15 November 08, i was so tired in the morning that i cant be bothered to
cook oats with banana for Giselle sooooo,
i made cheese and shaved ham on wholegrain toast for Giselle along with some watermelon.
Is that yummy or what?
I cant help pinching some of the toast and eating it myself too... ahahahaha
i don't need to feed her simple food as such, so she will feed herself.
i tore a piece for her to feed herself, and thats how she hold her toast.. See
how she is using her pincer grasp. so cute!
There we go, breakfast is over!
I went to Coles on 25th November 08, and got myself a box of guylian chocolate with truffles and seashells and some of their assortment chocolate. Giselle was eyeing on my chocolate so i gave her one seashell... Guess what happen...
Yes, she smear it over her face and her walker n her clothes...
Her irritating aunty shanie pasted a HOT BUY sticker on her...
See how long her hair is???
That's Amy Morgan, my dad's colleague. Once a while when she missed her train home, my dad would let her stay at ours for the night, and of course she sleeps in my room...
She's a nice girl, we smoke together a lot, and gossips a shit loads... lol
I don't know why but its seems to be in every man's blood (within the Foo family) to let babies/ kids taste beer...my grandfather did it, my uncle did it, and now my dad did it....She seems happy! lol
It's the first time she crawled under her cot, and so i decided to take a picture of her doing it.
Sadly i was a little too slow, and didn got the chance to take a picture of her directly under the cot...
she looks soo adorable in that burberry dress...
my little chocolate angel.
I was watching telly one day and i was wondering to myself,
"Why is it so quiet, where is that little terror"
and than i turn around and saw her sitting at a corner doing something.......
She was busy ripping up my Foxtel telly guide magazine...
When she first learned to do that, we all freaked out afraid that she will flip forward, but as time past, its sooo funny when she does that bridge thing...
Occasionally she would walk like that too...
so i thought i might take a picture and share...
See that purple feeding spoon ?? She's like really obsessed with spoons or should i say utensils...
Below are just some random photos of Giselle.
She closes her eyes like such because of the camera flash.
This is the new ferris wheel in australia, located in South bank... All well... its still not as big as the one in Singapore...
So... BBOOOOOO
** The ferris wheel photo is a bit crooked because it was taken when i was in a moving car.

Its summer right now in Australia, and its also the monsoon period.
i love it when summer are always rainy, you know sometimes the temperature could
go as high as 35 degrees, and man we need some rain.
for the past few days, there's thunderstorms and all.
luckily we moved out of The Gap, because it has been said that The Gap and its surrounding
suburbs are labelled "Disastrous area".
There are so many houses that got hit by fallen trees, blown off fences, roofs, and roads are
block by fallen trees. and worse of all FLOOD...
I used to work in a bowls club, and guess what happened to it? its pretty much a swimming pool now... The bowling ground had became muddy, carpets are damage by the flood,
for the first two days of the monsoon, there are a total of about SIX MILLION AUD worth of
damages in The Gap.... Thats how bad it was...
Our economy is as bad as it is, its a really bad time for a Monsoon period...
SIGH...
Following pictures are taken from my balcony during one of the storms.
There are not many because its too dark to take any clear pictures and i am too afraid to step out...
See how the water flushes upwards on the curb? It only took 5 minutes for so much water...
Strong winds blowing on the ground that caused little "waves" luckily we live uphill, or we will definately hit a minor flood.
When it starts to die down a little bit.There's not much to say about the storm in this post, but i thought it would be fun to post some stormy photos... i forgot to get my camera when i was at poopoo's house, because there were numerous offallen trees and fences. Labels: seasons in australia
Today i will be blogging about my new phone
DANGER HIPTOP SLIDEMany people who seen this phone would say "oh so cool""oh so unique""ooooh I want it too!!!"or otherwise it would be"er too big""oh too bulky for me"and those mountain tortises would say"huh? what brand is this?""what model is that??""whats a hiptop phone??"And today i am going to show you how BULLSHIT thiscool phone can be...**For the record, the Danger Hiptop Slide is the latest hiptop phone available. It might be different from the older models like Hiptop I, Hiptop II, Hiptop III and Hiptop LXAll the following pictures would be directly taken from my phone, from the first top folder to the last folder available.

Who on earth don't need an alarm clock???Fear not we can download it all from "Bigpond Catalogue"BUT guess what????It cost me $3 AUD for an alarm clock application,Free for a calculator applicationAnd since i cant use my own songs that are downloaded into this phone in the Mp3 player as a ringtone, I need to download it from this Catalogue, which would cost me $4.95 AUD for each 14 second ringtone.And also, i can't use my photos taken by my camera for my screensaver,i need to download something from the Catalogue as a screensaver or else it will just showTELSTRA (see photo below)How frigging aweful is that??But i have yet to have the time to go through every screensaver available to download...so i have to bear with this for the time being...hehehe my poopoo called me when i was taking photos of the catalogue folder...Alright in the "Bigpond Catalogue" folder (sub-folders), there is... ...

(see below)They are pretty similiar11th - "GAMES"The game that comes with the phone is sooo lame...When i first played it, immediately i was like "WTH??"This is that lame game....Played it once and thats all....Lastly "APPLICATIONS"remember previously i mention about my alarm clock and calculator?yeah i downloaded these two.... i need them... so i have no choice...My precious precious alarm clock...Isn it cute?? Six cute little boxes for your alarm...The "timer" slots are identical to the ones of the alarm... So i wont bother to show them since they look IDENTICAL"Stop watch" So cool to see '0' and '1' merging togetherLe "Calculatrice"And it looks like...Pretty cool... Looks very stylish compare to the typical calculator you get from other phones...With the calculator, it comes with a "Bill Splitter"so anytime you have dinner with someone you want to go on dutch with,just whip out your handy dandy BILL SPLITTER!!!!Qwerty boardTo me they are the perfect size... although prolong usage of the Qwerty boardcould confuse me when i use my laptop...The back of the phone slide up...oh the colour of my phone is blue, well some people say its purple, and i honestlythink they need their eyes checked for colour blindness...It also comes in scarlet red. Front of the phone slide up...i really cant be bothered to take another photo of my phone so, you can imagine how it looks like when closed...This phone is lock to Telstra when i bought it, i was so determined to unlock the phone but thani asked MOTOROLA if i can use the phone with another SIM card after unlocking,Guess what?You can!! BUT you would not be able to access the internet functions even if you were to use a Telstra SIM card, because it needs to be a 'Hiptop plan' SIM card...So sad... imagine a singaporean who owns this phone... that person would NOTbe able to download themes and ringtones and such, but to use their default ringtones and some other corny tones and themes...SO SAD...and now....PLAN COSTThere's one happy thing about the Hiptop...The Hiptop plan costs $30 AUD a monthit has UNLIMITED sms throughout australia ONLYUNLIMITED internet access.It would be expensive to make calls on this plan and it is not included in this plan.All extra charges on calls will be added onto your $30 plan/monthFree incoming callsAll downloaded items from "Bigpond Catalogue" will be added onto your monthly bill.The Hiptop Slide phone cost $768 AUD over a 24 month paymentand it will cost $600 ++ AUD upfrontSo if you are a person who lives in australia and texts a hell lot, it would be the best plan to go for...I intend to bling my phone after i get sick and tired of the look... hahaha... I have already called Motorola to ask if i am still under warranty if i bling my phone...And the answer is YES! As long as i don't have any glue seeping into the phone,it would be absolutely fine...At least i don't need to live with one look for my whole two years... lolJust one last thing, everyone ask me "How do i answer the calls from your phone?"Just put your ear to the part where its circled in pink, and thepart where you speak into is pointed at by the pink arrow...You will be amazed how many people don't know where to put their frigging ears....Finally.... i finished blogging about my phone....
