Happy Plants

2005 was a very auspicious year for me as all my Happy Plants flowered at the same time. This is very rare as they do not flower every year, rather once every decade or so. They give out such a beautiful perfume and the flowers lasts for weeks. Here are some of the photos I took to commerate the occassion.

Life

Being present now and assessing the situation and appreciating what I have achieved and where I am now in my Journey of Life.

Looking back at the past and feeling all the hurts, disappointments and losses, has finally hit me that this is all about GROWING UP and this is LIFE.

This builds strength and character of a person. Learn and understanding from life experiences and this will lead to a better FOCUS and more directional path in paving the destiny that I want to have and to experience.

I am the MASTER of my life and I CHOOSE where I want to go and what I WANT to do.

There will be no putting blame to anyone and anything. I am the MASTER of my choices and my decisions.

And always stop and smell the roses and always SMILE as the Universe is alway there to smile upon us and grant us our wishes.

Being alive, being now, being in present tense.
Joyful in knowing that one can guide oneself to your own future destinations.
You are the only driver of your destiny.

-Be Strong
-Be Daring
-Be Ready to Pounce
-Be Ready to allow your arms wide open and ready to receive what the universe intent you to have and to make your journey in life purposeful and fullfilling.
-Be Ready to have the Celebration of Your Life!!!!!!!

Yee Yee & Reece's Wedding

Saturday 20th Jan 2007 was a special day for my close family friend, Yee Yee's wedding.

This is me getting ready to visit the bride and escort her to the groom's family house.


As you can see, I am trying to do the Egyptian stance wearing my traditional Malay Baju Kebaya outfit. It was the most comfortable outfit I can find to fit me since I have put on 3 kilos since my three weeks stint on the Stenna Clyde rig.

The waist-line is elastic so it allows me to breathe!!!

Like any Asian Wedding, this is the opportune time for the family and friends to get together and out comes the digital cameras clicking merrily away. The family is once again all together in one spot.

This is us with the happy couple Reece and Yee
Yee at the Cottlesole Civic Park. The venue was beautiful and the weather was lovely. The groom is beaming from ear to ear. The photo is a laugh as you can see the shorties on the right and the biggies on the left. Betcha you know who eats more harmone-induced chickens!!!!! Hahahahhah






It is now quite rare for all the siblings to get a photo together nowadays. Everyone have their own lives and we never let an opportunity like this to go to waste. So here we are... "The Chai Team"





Here we are again with the wedded couple at their reception and the group of Yee Yee's relatives from Melbourne and Sydney.

Darwin 2007

After finishing my stint on the Stenna Clyde, I spent a day in Darwin to do some sightseeing. I went to Aquascene to feed the fishes that came up to shore during high tide.

The fishes just come right up and you could just hand feed them and touch and pet them. What an experience!!!!!! No fishing allowed though..it is a $10k fine if caught!!!!. There were mullets, milkfishs, catfish, angelfish-lookalike etc....

It was a truely amazing experience!!!! The angelfish lookalike is my favourite.

Kwan Yin - the goddess of Mercy was there too and I had to have my picture taken with her of course.

Buddha presence was there too with us.

Stenna Clyde

Just got back from a three weeks stint on the Stenna Clyde drilling rig on the Timor Sea out of Darwin. I spent Christmas and New Year there. What an experience. Both holidays were spent reading, eating and sleeping...very quiet whilst waiting for my work to begin. It was meant to be a 5 day job but it got delayed with drilling and most of the time was spent waiting around and doing some prelim processing of the samples. I ate so much food that I put on 3 kilos whilst I was there!!!!!! I really thought that my overalls was strunked from the constant hot water washing by the laundryman. Well that's my excuse anyway and I am sticking with it. Hahahahah.

These are some dinos/spores that we get to see under the microscope when we get out to do these rig jobs. Weird wonderful creatures that nature created. These are millions of years old and this is the cuticle of the original organisms left when they die. Palynologist use this to accurate date the age of the rock type whilst they are drilling for gas and oil.

There are thousands and thousands of these different dino/spores/pollens and all have names to them. Only the specialist like the palynologists can really identify them. I only know a handful myself....still on my "P" plates!!!!!
