Everyone has done it before; locking your key in your car. But then we learn from our mistake and remember not to do it again in future. Not for someone I know...
Meet my boss D, he's the only person I know of who locks his key in the car 4 times in 1 year! 4 times! Did it first time and it's a simple mistake, done it twice and it's because you're forgetful, done it third time and you're an idiot but done it 4 times in 1 year and you're the King of Dickheads! Good one D! Well done, let's see you go for the 5th time.
Tiny Teddy biscuits come in different varieties; delicious honey, chocolate, choc chip, chocolate half coat, strawberry speckle and this one here caramel.
They are fantastic snacks anytime of the day not just for kids, I like them too! This friendly bunch joined Arnott’s in 1990 and was one of their most successful creations ever.
Meet the Tiny Teddies. Arnott’s cutest biscuit range; Sleepy, Silly,Hungry, Grumpy, Cheeky and Happy. Nice! Excuse the grainy picture but my camera doesn't take macros very well.
If you've been following my blog, you'd have read a post I did on an outdoor heater made in the shape of a dragon. Not long ago the dragon was spotted again on High Street in Northcote!
Sorry about the blurry images but we were trying to take these photos while I was driving!
I wonder if the dragon has been on the back of this truck all these times? Or maybe the client decided it was too ugly or too scary in their al-fresco area and had to get rid of it!
Melbourne spends a lot of money in art for the city, some good and some bad. One of the better ones is this piece here in the heart of Docklands called Cow Up A Tree.
The sculpture is made by John Kelly inspired by the Australian landscape with a strong water-based theme. The artist observed photos of cattles that got stranded onto trees following violent floods that occurred quite frequently in the Gippsland area of Victoria, thus the Cow On The Tree sculpture.
What would you do on your sick day, curled up in bed and hope to sleep off your illness? I prefer to watch a good movie and that's exactly what I did, I watched another kick-ass Bruce Willis action packed movie called Hostage on DVD.
This is a thriller not to be missed if you are a die hard Bruce Willis fan like me. Will keep you biting your nails till the end. The story is based on an LAPD negotiator Jeff Talley(Bruce Willis) who, after being devastated by a failed hostage crisis, retreats to the low crime hamlet of Bristo Camino to become the local chief of police. Talley was forced to take charge of another hostage crisis when the bad guys decide to take his wife and child. He has to save his own family which may involve sacrificing another..moments of unbearable tensions.4 out of 5 stars from me!
I hate being sick, started not feeling too good on Monday but by today, I'm about to fall over..
I'm not one to get sick easily, in fact the last time I was sick was in November last year when my sister and her family came to visit and brought with her some Malaysian flu virus!I'm getting all the typical flu symptoms; runny block nose, sore throat, coughing and feeling weak. I just hate it, it ruins my days but I'm not gonna let it get to me. I'll just pump myself full of drugs and soldier on!
Here's the tunnel coming up in front of me..
I'm in and I'm trying very hard to keep both hands steady so I'd stay on my lane and take pictures at the same time!
Oops! My hands are shaking which in turn shakes the camera and I think the car as well..
But hey, there's light at the end of the tunnel after all! Yes I know I could've been seeing a different sort of light at the end of the tunnel if something went wrong.

We went to buy the tickets in advance for fear that they might run out because of limited screening.
We went to Hoyts at Victoria Garden, it used to be Anderson Cinemas but I supposed it got bought over by Hoyts. One way of getting rid of the small competitors.
We were given these 3D glasses to wear for the movie, I was a bit worried it might not fit my face so I tried one out...
...it fitted fine. I feel like Wesley Snipes in Blade. What a wanker!
This is where Terese came in with her creative ideas and her skills in dress making, she came up with some outstanding garments for Alana, an American Girl doll owned by Stephanie, a friend of ours. Here are just some of the Spring/Summer Collection created by Terese..
Here we have Alana wearing a wrap-around halter neck top with matching lined gathering skirt. Very elegant!
And next we see Alana wearing a knitted halter neck top and linen skirt with ribbon trim. Cute.
Another eye catcher worn by Alana is this floral halter neck top with matching assymetrical skirt. Looks like halter neck is big this season!
And here we have Alana with her cotton singlet and linen skirt with hearts motifs. Very stylish!
It's about time I clean it today, the algae is flourishing in there and I think the tenants aren't too happy.
So first I turn off the water filter, remove the fishes and put them in a separate container away from the tank..
Next I empty everthing from the tank except the water, this lets me see what I'm doing..
I have to scrub the algae off the glass inside and everywhere else that they may reside..
Then siphon 50 % of the water out using a gravel siphoner like this one where the gravel will be cleaned at the same time.
All the decoration items are scrub clean as well, when all are done they are put back in the tank, fresh water treated with water conditioner is added into the tank, let the water filter run for a while to clear up the water before..
..putting the fishes back into the tank.
..and decided to have lunch at the food court there.
We set our eyes on Teriyaki Boy, a sushi franchise we've tried before so we know we can't go wrong with the choice of food.
Terese loves her sushi, too many choices, some in rolls..
..some in lunch packs.
I've decided on the Yakitori Bento, one of my favourites.
Wow, it looks better than the picture on the menu wall!
So off to the local supermarket we go after work, once we're there we start at the fruits & vegies section to pick up some greens starting with some Red Delicious apples..
Next, some nice looking pears..
..follows by some juicy oranges..
..some avocados, how can you go wrong with avocados.
Ooh..strawberries are starting to get into season now.
More apples; Granny Smith apples..
You'll always need some tomatoes..
How about some capsicums, these look good.
Need my carbohydrates, let's get some spud(potatoes).
Some red capsicums for colour..
Always can do with some beans as side dish in any meal!
Last but not least the humble mushrooms.. enough fruits & vegies for the week, now let's get some meat..
