Shin Yang visits me at Melbourne : Mar-17

Having to spend almost half of my time working here in Melbourne alone since last Nov was not fun at all.

I got Qiqi accompanying me here in January and during this March holidays, I had arranged for Shin Yang to come over this time.  I rented a car and fetch her from the airport on a Friday evening.  Frankly, I was so much happier to see her here and got her company.  Coincidentally, there was also a public holiday that Monday which granted us a long weekend to go around Melbourne.  That weekend, we drove to Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley and also visited Stephanie at her place for dinner.  I had never enjoyed the place this much since working here for almost 5 months.  Of course  having someone important beside you definitely made the difference.  I also took my camera and tripod along this time and we are able to capture quite a few beautiful shots for both of us.

12 Apostles and hardly any one yet!

Education Awards : Mar-17

This year is slightly special when it comes to receiving the education awards from the government.

For the very first time (probably the last chance for Qi), En'en and Qiqi receive their first ever EduSave Award for their 2016 performance. Xuan also had a 'consolation' prize and receives the Education Merit Award.  What a remarkable moment that all 3 got an award in the same year!
