Oh dear... I feeling so warm and touch by her gentle kindness it just brighten my day... Our world need more people like her :)

Robe Kayaking with buddies

I always wanna try kayaking for quite sometimes, when I was young I can only use imagination from the television i seen before. I saw the ads at Foodland(market) and I was attracted to this ads, it is KAYAKING!
but it took me 1 month to call haha, was very busy until this day.

The day was sunny and beautiful to kayak. I call the lady at the phone and make a appointment on Tuesday but was bad weather and disappointed again but NEXT DAY!! I rented one single sit for myself and 2 double for others (Ken,Mili, Ivy and Wei). We was asked to wear life-jacket but It was so funny; The shape of it will turn me into Ninja-turtle when I got a tanned haha. When first paddle out to the sea, we got excited and I almost lost my balance.

After 5 minutes, I can feel bicep and triceps is stretching haha. It is really nice to kayak! I can't believe I spend my 22 years not kayaking. I felt in love with it, I really desperately wanted one! Robe is really a beautiful places. I might spend my whole life here :)

See me again in kayaking :) Because I decided to buy one soon

MT Benson's Wehls

Finally able to head to the farm after saying it for 3 weeks with valerie, always buzzing her “hey.. Tmr going farm? When U going farm?”

I wanna go farm so much because I thought to myself, since I ready to stay her permenantly, I sure treasure each moment and oppurtunity that God given to me. I wanna learn about their life and understand the farm in Aussie better. And I always wanted to take some good photo, I really think farm is a great place to practice. Today Caleb,Valerie, Amy and I are had one of best time ever in farm, farm is a beautful country lifestyle. Peter wehls the farm owner also a friend are so kind to show us around his place with a lots of  moment to appreciate. The wehls family are one of the most beautiful family in Robe I met. Along with Jessie and Leia, I forget the brother name.... nevermind I will ask again

Firstly, we have a “Road Block” of sheep haha. Nice sheeps, smelly and a lot of shit haha. They were herding it to elsewhere and was on the road when we passed by, they so afraid of humans and keep running away from crowds haha, cute. Ka wa ii~

Peter first show us around the house and the trees around them, don think the trees is a common trees, there orange and this and that, Peter knowns each kind of them.  Peter peel an orange for us haha, go for a walk in the vineyard and have a visit ANDY!! The grumpy old sheep haha. There 3 of them, not sure which is andy, oh well, moving on.

Second is dragon hunting in farm!! ^^ Peter and jessie told us, quite common we will meet a Beaker Dragon. So begin the hunting!! Whoah~ Jessie found one not even 10 minutes haha, such a great spotter she is. I can’t even see with the comouflage with the dragon have, and it is sun bathing and we disturb it by carrying it around, it just lay lazy, very OZ kind of life haha. Amazing how wild but very tame kind of lizard, doesn’t defent itself or runaway. We carry it around and taking sweet photos even kiss it haha. And back it goes to the spot we found it. We love animals~ Everything included.

Guess what next? Australia MUST DO. THAT RIGHTS! KANGAROOS~~ Wild kangaroos hunting, we hop on in peters jeeps and with some beers and goes kangaroo spotting! It is wild, the kangaroos will just come into the farm and have rest. For 30minutes drive we spotted quite a few, I was careful not to scare them off, while trying to snap some photos, but I just too afraid to scare them off, so I kept my distance.

Today is a great day, Really enjoyed every moment when peter show us around. I love the farm, I really respect it a lot, wasn’t easy to run a country farm. I really love today ^^ makes my mood gooood~~~

David in Australia’s adventure:part one> craigfish hunting

Good day mate!! haha i had my awesome experience in Feb 2008 in my second home in Australia, a small town named Robe. My dad’s friends invited my family for a ride in their boat and bring us to see what it like to catch crayfish(lobster) ha ha this is one great experience offer by 2 Australia(Shane and killsby) free of charge.
In an cold morning woken by a invitation to catches cray, i got up and full of adventurous mood ha ha. we got to the harbor only like 3 min away in drive. Shane and killsby is waiting for us in a small yacht but a real nice one, she is a beauty. And off we start the engine motor, getting exciting with this moment. and once after we get off the harbor, and killsby is driving even faster! and this is heck of a bumpy ride, i could have fallen off the yacht anytime! and it was a scares moment while fighting with the wave, i even took alot of strength to hold on to anything that prevent me from "bye bye David and enjoy the water"
wow… the sun is bright and the sea is a beauty, with the wind and the waves, it was a spectacular indeed, just amazing. but the wind is chilling cold, we were freezing. We came to this floating thingy which tell us where is the Cray’s cage are. When killsby drove the yacht next to the floats, and Shane will hook it up with a hook(duh) and pull all the way up til the boat. aww…. cuz the first cage was empty.. well Shane change the bait with some fish’s head and abalone(waste!! ha ha) and throw it back in the sea. We came til the last cages, it wasn’t empty but it is not a crayfish sign… but a snapper fish ha ha. well by law we still can’t keep the snapper because it is not in the legal size yet. (FYI: Australia have laws even fishing, that why i love this country, to prevent over catching til near extinction). well we all say our bye bye to the snapper fish and threw away.
We couldn’t get any crayfish that day but we cheated hahaha we asked Shane to go buy some crayfish and bring it back to the restaurant for some lunch!! hahahaha well at least i have fun and the rest(Shane,killsby,my both sister and my bro-in-law)
PS: thanks for the ride! OZ Shane and killsby ha ha, i wannabe OZ too!

Australia Adventure. part 2: Joy Flight in Robe

I have always dream of wonders when i look up to the blue sky in a sunny day. Wondering how it is look like if i able to fly up to the air and look down to the places that i stand, i am sure it is different if we put ourself in sky,look down from heaven above. Looking from sky to the earth, just like God looking down from heaven above. I always knew if i look from above things will be different when i look at the ground. oh…. how i wish i know what its like to be.
Finally a dream able to come true! My wonderful Aussie mate Ross is giving us a chances of a lifetime, to fly in the sky, well of cause it won’t be the same as real flying like birds, but still have 1 pairs of wings and able to mend with the winds! Ross has 2 airplane!! how awesome it is to own mini-planes and able to fly up the sky, well lets not calculate the petrol for the plane ahem… anyway Ross is a great man! and shane is wonderful to accompany us with the flight. so exciting!! >.<


Well it is really not as board an big airplane like going for a trip, its different, cuz it is control by your friend, as it is please, and it is mini, dangerous it may but i love it! I put my life on Ross’s hand as he starting for preparations for us to aboard. Well we(my 2 sister, bro-in-law and shane) hahah Ross will be our pilot and Shane will be our co-pilot/air-stewards for a day haha just joking. Well we able to enjoy our view better than normal airplane. its totally amazing i telling you. First Ross giving this coolest ear-phone and to prevent us from damaging our hearing by the loud air-engine and able us to communicate with a cool voice, like "Good day mate" in a cyborg voices hahaha.. it is really hilarious.
When up in the sky… whooaa…. Its really a beauty this land, i really felt in love with the place i was being, Robe is a nice town. I can’t stop snapping photos with my camera i bought. I can see the far horizontal blue sea and our famous obelisk of Robe just near to the lighthouse. The sea is fabulous! i could see the waves and the depth of the water from above. Ross purposely bring us to above my dad restaurant for a few rounds hahaha.. its kind of funny.


wow… now i able to see the world in a new angle, from the sky. It simply marvelous to have this chances for this experience really. I just hope i could express it out more, We have our wonderful time. Robe it is a beauty isn’t it? Thanks Ross for giving us the wonderful ride of lifetime and Shane for be our air- steward haha just joking, for taking care of us while in Australia.

My Encounter With Dolphins (Australia)

Just like any other days, Thinking what shall I do in the free time of afternoon I got. Preparing with all the swimming gear, which I only bought my Google, Swimming trunk, Bag and Towels.
Walking down on the sandy beach with the thinking of, ‘ Today sea waters should be the same temperature like any other days I swarm, It was sunny and cold sea waters but that didn’t make me give up for a nice swim. I looked around and it seem no one is swimming, a few of people is sun bathing. while I prepare to swim, i always need few minutes to adapt the cold water before deep my whole in. When a old lady saw thats a person in the waters, along she came with the husband, well no one like to swimming alone and it is a big beach. While I get to adapt the coldness I start to swim side to side, the old lady swimming with a mini surf board back and fort. I was floating to rest on it like a sea bed until a sound bursting the water like a seal or whale was heard, I got a shock of fear, I quickly swim nearer to the shore but water about the height of my belly button. I ask the old lady which near to me and ask her with a smile( I still can smile in the time of shock ),’ what was that!? ‘ she reply in saying,’ Is a scuba divers In my mind thinking IT cannot be.. because is definitely is a weird sound and scuba diving here? thats nothing to see except sand and seaweed. She then added,’ maybe is a seal (some seal do bite) at the same time something added my fear when i saw a big fin and the old lady husband shouted,’ there something coming towards you!’ to the wife but I wasn’t further than 3m from her! but as I observe more… my fear is reduce and joy came but still got shock, It was a dolphin! with that curve and fin, I sure of it! but i wasn’t get to far from the shore because even though is a dolphin but still wild. I was observing where they swim and appear or disappear, and one dolphin swim so close to me that i can almost touch it but is only 2 second than it swam out to the sea. My mind cried out to God,’ Thank God is dolphins and not sharks! and blessing me with the most precious gift to me, To Swim With A Wild Dolphins Or A Amazing Visit Than Anyone Can Hope For, From A Dolphins!
