Wine Tasting @Hunter Valley

"The first vines in the Hunter Valley were planted by families in the 1820s, making the Hunter Valley the oldest wine region in Australia. Hunter Valley semillon is widely considered the iconic wine of the region, but the Hunter also produces wine from a wide variety of grapes including shiraz, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon and verdelho..."

Moo Gourment Burgers @Bondi Beach

Go to Bondi Beach in the cloudy afternoon. Then try this famous burger recommended on the web. Classic Beef Burger and Apple Cider are perfect matched! The burger is so juicy!

Lowenbrau Keller @Sydney

Gather with another friend from vineyard in Red Cliffs. She takes me to this German Restaurant tasting Oven roasted Pork Knuckle at The Rock. This is my first time eating in German Restaurant. When we look at the menu, have no idea at all, it takes us a long time to study^_^! Finally, we order Knusprige Schweinshax’n and Löwenbräu’s Bräuteller.

Santa @Darling Harbour

Christmas decoration at Darling Harbour

Luna Park @Sydney

"4 October 1935, Luna Park opens with rides relocated from Luna Park Glenelg. The concept is based on the success of the first Luna Park which opened on Coney Island, New York in 1903. American entrepreneur Herman Philips and others brought the idea to Australia and opened Luna Park Melbourne in 1912 and Luna Park Glenelg, Adelaide in 1930..."

Sydney Harbour Bridge

"Sydney Harbour Bridge is the world's largest steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour. It is fondly known by the locals as the 'Coathanger' because of its arch-based design..."

Bondi Beach

Strawberry Watermelon Cake @Black Star Pastry and Cafe

I enjoy the legendary Watermelon Cake finally. Good balance with watermelon and cream, crispy and appropriate sweet, it is absolutely refreshing!!! Amedei Chocolate and Hazelnut Torte is relatively sweet:-P

Sydney Central Station

Opened on 4 August 1906, Central Station is the third station to be built in its vicinity since the first station opened 51 years earlier.

Working in Blueberry Field

As Gann's theory - Wheel within a Wheel, I cannot wander in city anymore, and back to farm, even though I was once so determined......

Working in Blueberry Field is relatively relaxing for me, as I have trained for one year! The difference is the situation, all works are arranged by my roommate+coworker. So, like Bohemian lifestyle, drift to different blueberry fields everyday, by contract sometimes, by hour sometimes...I always eat blueberry when working, if it is by hour:-P

2014/10/24
Kangaroo in Blueberry Field, it is odd when we look at each other:-P

Humpback Whale Observation @Woolgoolga

"The annual migration of Humpback Whales which can be observed from the Woolgoolga Headland between May & October."

Langar @Guru Nanak Sikh Temple, Woolgoolga

Langar: Every gurdwara has a langar where all people are welcome to a free meal regardless of their sex, colour or religion. There are no rituals observed in the langar (kitchen) and everyone eats together. All the food is vegetarian so that no religious group is offended.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji established the langar because he rejected the Hindu caste system where people of different castes do not eat together. Guru Nanak Dev Ji wanted to stress the idea that everyone is equal. Everyone shares the tasks of preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning. This shows sewa - selfless service to the others in the sadhsangat (community), the gurdwara, and the world outside.

Guru Nanak Sikh Temple is the architecural landmark of Woolgoolga, a huge and imposing white structure, that's the town's main attraction. It was built by the town's Sikh residents whose ancestors travelled to the North Coast around the time of Australian Federation.

Wandering @Surfers Paradise Gold Coast

2014/10/14
I've been to paradise...
But never been to me...

This Charlene's song depicts me exactly... Surfers Paradise is an ideal place definitely. However, it is quite hard for me to get a good job. So, I have to leave reluctantly and suddenly.

Sunday @Point Danger

"Point Danger is situated on the New South Wales/Queensland border. It was named by Captain James Cook on his 1770 journey up the east coast of Australia to warn later mariners of dangerous coral reefs off this treacherous coast."

Working in Strawberry Field

In June, as I didn't wanna stay in Brisbane anymore, and my eyes were covered by $19/hr of strawberry packing, I rushed to another notorious place - Bundaberg, without think twice... I have struggled in two most notorious places in Australia - Mildura and Bundaberg, hahaha...

Bundaberg Barrel @Bundaberg Brewed Drinks

Isn't it wonderful that, the production site of one well-known drink, Bundaberg Ginger Beer, just close to my accommodation, less than 5min walk??? Naturally, we visit Bundaberg Barrel, as we have to go to post office, pass by and take a glance:-P

Aya Ueto @Oshin

I always say: "The Best Is Yet To Come". However, the reality is: "No Worst, But Worse..." Really feel frustrated... When watching Oshin's story, I gain encouragement once more, for the good sake of someone important, Carry On!!!

有多少的眼淚 隱藏在你的笑顏?
有多少的笑容 只是為了獻給誰?

因為觸碰到你的溫柔
現在 雪開始融化

面向故鄉的 那一條路

就算被懷疑 就算被背叛 依然相信
不論如何都忍耐著

大步向前
你的努力 祈求等待著春天的來臨
總有一天會到達
面向故鄉的 那個笑顏
不管日子過得怎麼樣 都不要感到挫折
像花朵一樣 綻放 你就是你
