Penang for 3 Months

We are back to Penang for 3 months till after Chinese New Year. 

While setting the business ready for our new partners, we have more time to spend with our family. Bought two folding bikes, (ready to send to Canberra soon... ) . haa.. had a fun ride at U-Garden corridor. .. See my mama in the photo? happy that I could have a chance to ride with her, she is good ... she could ride an '8' in a small space like this, see my sister, Eng, in the next photo? haa.. she is really weak, can't even make a 'U' turn  and my cute little niece, ErnErn, she is the most sporty! ask for a race. I am going to miss her a lot!! 

Our one month Canberra recce trip ended with just a blink of eye. It ended too fast, and it cost us a bomb! But we had really enjoyed our time, and we appreciate the experience. At least now, we know how far Gunghalin is, well it is just a 20 minutes drive away, everywhere is so near and conveniently accessible. Beside the high rental, I would love living there. People are friendly, you would walk into a shop seeing a big smile on the sales girl face who will greet you, "How are you today?" as you walk up to a bus, the driver also greets you with a happy tone "How is your day?"  how cool is that. Or maybe, we haven't really started to work and  get ourselves busy, that's why we feel so relax and enjoy and everything seems so good and beautiful. See how it goes next after February. 

Let's countdown to 7th February 2012. 

We have booked our ticket on AirAsia to depart on 7th February 2012 from Penang to KL then to Melbourne. And, Virgin Australia from Melbourne to Canberra the next day, arriving Canberra on 8th February. 

My Days in Canberra

We walk everyday across this junction. This morning is beautiful to start with blue bright sky and cooling breeze. 

and, along the way, you might find a hidden gem, this morning I found this hidden rose. 

One of the old bus stops in Reid.

Though, we have subscribed Telstra pre-paid broadband, but we still prefer McCafe for the FREE internet access, due to the expensive braodband cost.. no choice we have to walked 1.5km to McCafe, Braddon .. to save for browsing, blogging and Facebook.  

Beautiful Canberra

Beautiful lake with nice jogging and cycling path. The greens and the blue sky and the cold breeze ... so calm and soothing.

And the good news is, it's getting warmer!

the sun is out, and we can hang our laundry out under the sun! 

Have not been updating for quite a time yeah, due to the expensive prepaid broadband cost, hmm.. dare not upload too many photo in my blog.

We have been to Floriade, and the tulips is stunning.

The, we hired a car, and drove to Newcastle stayed for two nights in Oriental Hotel, a pub accommodation, nice clean and tidy budget place to stay. During our stay,we had visited the Art Gallery at Maitland, we spent quite a long hour there in their exhibition, awesome artworks!  On the way back to Canberra we had stopped by NSW Southern Highlands town,  Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale, meeting up with Sonja of ArtHead.

Enjoying every corner of these towns .. scenery along the way is spectacular.

I quite like Southern Highlands towns. They are so beautiful and cozy.

Back to Canberra yesterday, and this morning we went to Fsyhwick Fresh Food Market today, nice .. we bought too many things back and our fridge seems couldn't fit. Then, we join Kilm Forming class in the afternoon at Canberra Glassworks.  Haa.. here is my work, it is now fused in a kiln overnight, and we should able to pick it up anytime after Wednesday!

Tomorrow, Khoo will have his badminton game here with new friends .. hope everything is good.

And, you too.. :)
