Rottnest Island during Easter Break

Rottnest Island is a place where you wanna have fun doing exercising and yet get to see outstanding beauty scenic with crystal clear sea. Besides, its only 19km off the coast of Fremantle, and definitely getting there by boat unless your able to swim that far! There is 3 ways where you can depart from: from Fremantle (that is where I depart and it takes 40 min to arrived the Rotness Island Jetty), Barrack Street (somewhere in between the Swam Bell and the EYE of Perth) and Northport (no idea where is this place). The island has a land size measure of 1,900 hectares and riding bicycles around the island will take you 2.5 hours because its a 24km ride!

History says that aproximately 23,000 years ago, Rottness Island is inhabited by the aboriginals and after the sea levels has risen, it separated the mainland of WA and the island. The island has been uninhabitted since then because the aboriginals couldn't build a suitable boat to cross there. Furthermore, the island was also used as prison to imprisoned aboriginals back in the late 1830s. As a result, your able to find cemmetries in Rottness. Some said its pretty scary to stay there at night, because you might be "fortunate" enough to see things! But it will be a wonderful experience to stay there at night! :)

Here is some pictures of the boat, island, Quokkas (A cute giant rat) and the bikie gang:


Inside the boat!


Que up to get our bikes but we were at the wrong place! Didn't read the instruction of the ticket. BUSTED! :(

Quokka (there were plenty more in the island but we only manage to photoshoot one!)

Rubik's Cube


I have always wanted to learn to play around with a Rubik's Cube aka Magic Cube. I remembered that I got this cube when I was still in primary school and I think I got inspired by my cousin to purchase this toy! At first he taught me some tricks but I guessed I have a bad memory. So at the end, the colour were mixed up and I never knew how to twist and turn back to a full set of same colour for each side. Therefore, I did a bit modification by peeling off the colour and stick it to where it belongs because i got so frustrated with it already! And till now I still dont know how! So, last week, I bought a magic cube from Fremantle and it cost $14 AUD. It claimed itself to be THE WORLD'S SMOOTHEST TURNING MAGIC CUBE and its made in Taiwan! Unbelievable and yet I have not tried it to see whether it is exactly true as describe, so I can't give comment about it. However, it looks nice!



The movie "Pursuit of Happyness" which spell happiness, with a Y, casted by Will Smith, inspired me to try to learn and not give up especially in this cube box. Its fun and just have to know a little tricks about it. I heard from a friend that you could actually find a solution in youtube.com and they will eventually teach you how to turn and twist this thing. You could just look it up under "How to solve a Rubik's Cube". Anyway, I guess I am just going to try it on first and see how far could i go without a solution!

ARSENAL

My First Ever Arsenal Jersey

I have been an Arsenal Fans since 5 years ago but only this current season, EPL 08/09, which is the only season I actually sat down and watch them play the whole game and almost the whole season for now and I was surprised that Thierry Henry has left Arsenal because the last time I saw him played was during 2006 Champions League final, Barcelona against Arsenal, where they lost. Such a shame but still it was a good match. The most interesting matches that I have watched so far was Arsenal Vs Man Utd, where I was actually watching with a fren of mine who is really a Man Utd fan and really despise other team (typical Man Utd Fan hahaha). During that match, the LCD screen showed that they was a list of injuries for Arsenal players and my friend was jumping up and down because it was a match that Man Utd will definitely win. However, it ended up 2 -1 where Arsenal score twice within 47th min. It was interesting and that's when I have decided to watch all their matches!

Anyway, my most recent trip to KL, was when I bought my Arsenal Jersey. It was expensive, but in order to show my support for them, I still purchased it on my very last day in KL. Actually what refrain me from purchasing it earlier was because all the Arsenal Jersey was made from Indonesia. I found it hard to believe since this Jersey is not freaking 100 Ringgit. Therefore, no way that I am going to purchase Jersey that is make by country neighbour. Unfortunately, after searching everywhere around KL, I still ended buying an Arsenal Jersey made by Indonesia. *sigh*

So, as for this season they might not be performing their best of all to compete for the EPL title, but I am pretty damn sure, in 2 more seasons, Arsenal sure hell yeah is definitely a contender for the EPL title. With the newly purchase Andrei Arshavin, he definitely brought some impact and increase the performance for the team. Arshavin and Bendtner is actually a good combination for the team. And definitely selling Van Persie is a good option for Arsenal. After watching him playing several match and reading some headlines news from soccernet, all I can say it is just too pointless for him Arsene Wenger to keep him. His performance is not consistent, has not been helping much for Arsenal, and yet talking big about winning titles when he couldnt score when there is a chance for him to. If he is committed and loyal to the club, he would stay and help Arsene Wenger to archieve what he is trying to accomplish by building a new young, energetic, fast and strong team! Unless by then when Arsene Wenger had built it and yet still accomplish nothing, then that would be a good option for him to leave. If not, I will take him as a looser forever!
Anyway, I guess I'm going to be a Gunner from now on! BANG!!!!

HTC Touch HD and Canon EOS450D

Graduation Gift from Dad (Canon EOS450D)

My HTC Touch HD




HOOrRAyy... got my first ever PDA Phone 3 weeks ago. I have been dreaming of getting one ever since I saw Edison using his O2 palm, I think that was the model. However, I'm not so fancy about its design but its OS. Therefore, 2 years ago, I was looking on this HTC Touch Cruise, and retail price is being sold for RM3000+. At that time, I really felt its too freaking expensive plus its the first PDA phone fitted with 3g function. How tempting it was for me.
Fortunately, I have waited and this is what i get. An i-Phone killer (as being said by few forums that I have read), and here is the specs, where you can get it from here.
Just wanna share with you all that, the weather forecast provided by HTC, is super cool. Once you update the weather, there is a picture of a sun, when it is during a day, a moon, during night time, or if its cloudy, it will show a sign of it as well, and when its raining, it shows rain drops on your screen, and a wiper would help to wipe it off. How cool is that!!!!!! However, the phone is not very user friendly since its my first time of using a PDA phone, but after a while, you get used to it.
Anyway, just showing off a little bit, I have recently updated my net.framework to 3.5 which allowed me to install all those cool 3rd application into my PDA such as gyrator 2(allows your screen view to rotate landscape or portrait base on the sensitivity movement of your phone), install TomTom navigator with an Australia map and London map into it, and an English dictionary.
