A Beautiful Day Out

Last month, hubby found a good deal on Spreets - $39 for entry to Seaworld and a sunset cruise on a luxury boat. This was quite a bargain as the usual price of such a package would be almost $70.

I have not been to Seaworld and hence I was quite excited about this trip. We thought of bringing one of our nieces along but on hindsight, it was good that we did not so we could enjoy this 'date'. We were so thankful for the beautiful weather - sunny but not too hot. We brought along food and water that lasts us for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea (which brought us lots of savings as the food sold at the park was exorbitantly priced.) We also maximised our time by planning to attend most of the shows and feeding times that were available.

There were some rides, for kids and adults, if you want some adrenaline rush. We ride on the slower monorail and cable cars and the faster Jet Rescue and Viking's Revenge water flume ride. I have not gone for any adrenaline-pumping rides for ages and these adventure made me feel both young (screaming in excitement) and old (body reflexes have declined and more tensed muscles).

I get to see my favourite penguins and dolphins. I love to see the docile bottlenose dolphins swimming and jumping at the show. I took a number of videos on my mobile phone, excited to play back to show my nieces. With the penguins, that was the first that I got to see them much closer to me, even though they are behind the glass that separates us. The king penguins live in a cold climate and hence had to be in the cold enclosure at the newish Penguin Encounter exhibit. We got to see another species of smaller fairy penguins which is able to live in the atmospheric temperature of the park and found along the shorelines of Australia and New Zealand. We saw the park rangers fed these little ones with little fishes.

Another interesting animal was the polar bear. We walked pass the above ground exhibit once and did not see any bear. On our second time through, we realised we could walk down to the ground level and underwater platforms. We finally got to see the big fuzzy polar bear walking around and eventually jumping into the water from a huge high rock. At the underwater platform, we saw it swim around and at one stage, picked up a plastic bottle floating on the water and putting it onto its mouth with its 2 paws, just like a baby holding a bottle to drink milk. That was a treat to be able to view the bear in action. Sometimes, I wonder if the bear knew that many people are observing it and hence was 'showing off' and posing for photos (You can see in one of the photos above, the bear was lying half in water and above water after its swim).

The 1.5-hour sunset cruise was a great bonus to end our time at Seaworld. We went on board a 3-storey boat, laden with luxurious leather cushion seats. I felt like sitting indoor and sleep in the comfort of the cosy place but it would be a waste of my time :p All guests were served with a glass of champagne or orange juice. You guessed it, this was a great photo opportunity for many as we cruise towards the end of the spit and a little of South Stradbroke Island. A unexpected treat awaits us when the captain of the boat told us that dolphins were sighted a short distance away. As you can imagine the excitement of everyone on board, many streamed towards one side of the boat to look out for them. For a good 20 minutes or so, we sighted many occasions of their tails and water squirts. Sometimes, we would see a mother and child team (2 tails are sighted together). It was a really relaxing time as the sun sets and the night draws closer.

We had no concrete plans for dinner. Thanks to hubby's Urban Spoon application on his phone, we found Maruya, a Japanese eatery at Southport which serves fairly good Japanese food for quite a good affordable price. I love Japanese food and would gladly eat it anytime. Maruya did not disappoint us. Their food was really decent, both in quality and cost. We were so glad to find this place and were thankful as that rounded up the entire day of the little blessings and enjoyment for the day. I reckon this is one of our best date - thank God for such a blessing :)

Floods in Queensland

Family and friends in Singapore have asked me if I am affected by the recent floods in Queensland. Thank God for His protection, we are not affected here in Brisbane. But many have been evacuated, many lost their homes, many animals died, much crops destroyed, increasing threat of crocodiles and snakes, etc and it saddens anyone reading about it... just as the bushfires in Victoria some 2 years ago.

The truth is, the floods are pretty far away from Brisbane. The badly affected areas are north and west of Brisbane. See the map below. Bundaberg is about 5 hours drive away. Rockhampton is about 8 hours drive away, 500km from Brisbane (For comparison, driving from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur takes about 4 hours. The distance from Singapore to the Peninsula Malaysia/Thailand border is between 800-900km.)

These floods are also costing a lot to repair and it would take a while to get 'back to normal'. Singapore will also feel the effects of this by increased food prices. The Singapore Armed Forces has also offered help to the flood-hit areas.

Read about how did the flood happen and how you can pray.

It rained so much in the last 2 weeks of 2010 and accompanied with the warmer temperatures, we are seeing more incidences of snakes in our backyard. Beyond the fences of our backyard, is a creek area. When a lot of rain falls, little puddles/ponds can form. We can see them, just a few metres away from our fence. This prompts the snakes in the area to want to go drier land (e.g. our backyard). So far, it has not been too dangerous for us but it certainly deters (especially) me from stepping out into my backyard to do things like throwing the rubbish (into the bins), gardening and even putting out our laundry. Thank God for a husband who would sacrificially do all that. Where possible, I will not step into the backyard if husband is not at home.

Thank God for His protection over us but may we be sensitive to those who are and pray for those who are. This can happen to us too - we are not spared from storms and hailstorms. Remember those affected by the floods in your prayers...

Operation Christmas Child

A couple of Saturdays ago, hubby and I went along to volunteer at the Samaritian's Purse Operation Christmas Child packing centre. It was "serving night" at our CG and we decided to tag along with a group from our sister church who has already organised that evening's volunteer experience. 

In all honesty, I was very attempted to back out after a hot and tiring day at church's bbq lunch at the park. But in all submission to hubby, I went ahead. (I am thankful for hubby's attitude of service despite his tiredness) There were about 20 of us that evening, of which 3 (including hubby and I) were from my CG. I thank God for renewed energy to be able to get through 3-4 hours of standing and packing the shoe boxes. We have to open each box and check its contents to make sure that they fit the criteria and regulations. E.g. liquid and gels should not be in there. We also have to remove all the packaging of the items (so that the kids need not dispose the packaging and increase landfill in their country). It was really nice to see the items from many thoughtful families and individuals. It felt like all those presents were for me, since I had to open up and look through them :p (I did not keep anything for myself). 

Some of the many shoe boxes queuing for us to pick up to sort.

(Tired but) Happily sorting through each box.

I'd love to do this again next year. This is a meaningful way to spend some time to pack gift boxes for the less fortunate children in the world :)

Meal Planner 16/8/10 - 20/8/10

This is the last time I will be sharing the meals that I have planned for the coming week. About a month ago, I acquired a touch screen mobile phone and it allows me to plan my meals and store the data in my phone. In that way, I could refer to it whenever I wanted to.

What I am most excited is the shopping list software which allows me to list the things I needed to buy. It has a column for me to check off when I have picked up the items, which is really handy for me. I used to use a piece of paper and have to use a pen to cross out the items or mentally remember that I have picked up the items. With my mobile phone, I can hold the list and check off the items using one hand. I could also have a few shopping lists, so I have lists like Coles, Woolies, Aldi, Anywhere cheapest, Christmas, Things to buy to Singapore, Things I want from Singapore, etc. This beats writing all of them on one piece of paper or having different pieces of paper for different shopping list. It allows me to record prices of items too. E.g. In the "milk" entry, I could enter the price of A$3.59 for a 3L bottle and keep it for future reference or comparing prices between the supermarkets. It has been almost 3 years since I use a PDA (my old one drowned). I am thankful that the HTC Desire (smart phone, android phone) was so affordable, thanks to hubby who found this great deal. For once, both of us are carrying the same phone. How romantic?!!? :p


Monday - beef casserole with tomatoes and eggplant
Tuesday - pumpkin soup with bread rolls
Wednesday - (Subway dinner)
Thursday - steak and chips
Friday - butter chicken (family dinner)
Saturday - satay chicken and dessert
Sunday - ondeh ondeh

Pickling Gherkins

My MIL's garden has been giving her quite a number of cucumbers. These are cute little ones that can be either eaten raw, or pickled into gherkins. I love these crunchy cucumbers when they are eaten raw. However, I also like the pickled stuff. With the 'collection' of cucumbers we were given (We consume less then what is given to us), I decided to pickle a jar of gherkins myself. It was rather fun and easy!

I used this recipe.

Preeettty Afternoon

I had a lovely girly afternoon tea today. It was FC's bridal shower and we were invited to Mt Tambourine to spend a pretty afternoon tea at "Tea and Niceties".

The maid of honour put in quite some effort in making it a pretty event - she made a really pretty recipe book for the bride-to-be with recipes contributed by us, a notebook with our messages to her. FC also ordered a pretty cake, made by my SIL W. The rest of the set-up was by T&N.

Look at all the pretty things.... don't they make you feel pretty? :)

Naturally, being very human :p the food was quite the highlight. The 3-tiered treats were so so delicious and too pretty to eat. All the table set-up, the entire place is filled with pretty things and European style high tea decor. I was just so thrilled... I think this is my first time having arvo tea in such a beautiful place. It was pure indulgence for me. Of course it was also a good time of girl chats and time with FC.

The bridal shower cake (chocolate cake with ganache in between) by my creative and talented SIL

Look at the details... so sweet...

I will definitely do this again... probably with other girls some time (it is not quite a place for men :p). Another suggestion was for a few of us to come together for such a treat at one of our place and we make one type of little pretty food each and put them together to share. What a great idea and I am so looking forward to it :)

Thermal Magic Cooker - A Formal Introduction

This is the thermal magic cooker that was recently added to my kitchen, compliments from SN who gave it to me as a gift to thank me for helping her buy silicon bakeware from Oz. This is such a good gift and I am loving it.

I have used this to make stews, rice porridge and soups. This is perfect when I need to cut down on time and just cook for 15 mins (not including prep time) and then leave it in this pot to continue cooking while I am out of the house or overnight as I sleep. This cooker does not require any energy fuel after the initial cooking on the stove. Hence you save on your electricity bills and need not keep an eye on your cooking when you are not in the kitchen or at work. I'd highly recommend for anyone with a busy lifestyle (which is almost everyone) - students, mums, working singles...

This is not very well known and used in this part of the world but very common in Asia. If you have friends and family in Asia, it is best to ask them to buy for you. Mine also comes with a smaller insert pot that I can use when I do not have much quantity to cook. I have once used it to cook rice porridge for 2 persons - me and my niece.

Read these 2 articles about how it works and why it is soooo good -
Another Kitchen Must-Have: The Thermal Cooker
Thermal Cookware – Cooking Food in its Own Heat

Recipes that I have tried using this cooker:
- Braised Soy Sauce Pork Belly
- Chicken with Dong Guai Soup
- Simple rice porridge
- Red dates tea
- Beef casserole

I really love my magic cooker :)

Singapore Trip

Now that I live in Oz, going back to SG is a holiday to me... especially when my 11-day trip is jam-packed with appointments and meetings, mostly over food.

This trip was specially made to attend my sister's wedding. Thank God that she is now married to a very decent, honest, down-to-earth, steady and reliable man (just like hubby too ;p) When he said his vows to her (with a really sincere and earnest look), I had to hold back my tears. (not vice versa though... because my sister was probably nervous and was kinda half giggling/smiling away. That is the usual her...) The wedding was nice and went through smoothly. Had the entire day to catch up with my extended family as well... which made me pretty tired (emotionally and physically), especially when some of them said some unhelpful words to me.

A few "firsts" during this trip:

1. Going to Orchard Road to see the new big (and decadent) shopping malls - Ion Orchard and 313@Somerset. It has changed the 'feel' of Orchard shopping. 313@Somerset has taken over/changed the familiar buildings and landscape I have known when I was studying nearby and had to walk through that area to take a bus home everyday. I realised as much as more luxury goods were available and all the new shops for shopping (which I like), but I do not like my familiar buildings removed and ruined my childhood memories...
2. Colouring my hair - I have highlighted my hair before but not coloured it. I figure out that colouring takes a shorter time and costs a bit less... and this time, I decided to be bold and try some reddish tone (instead of previously brownish tones) which will become brown when the red wears off. I think the colour went down really well on me :) 
3. Painting nail art on my big toes - I used to go for pedicure every 2-3 months when I was single. It helped improve my in-grown toe nails condition. I have not done it in Oz because it is more expensive and also because people here are more simple and cannot care about beautifying themselves :p I went with my sister on the eve of her wedding and the nail art was included in the package that she bought. My manicure costs S$15 (under A$12).

Fuschia pink to match my dress :)
4. Flying with Emirates - we were intending to fly budget Jetstar but dad kindly offered to pay the difference for us to fly Emirates so that we could be more comfortable and able to carry more baggage (standard allowance is 30kg per person). The inflight entertainment was fantastic with VOD and touch-screen selection. I could watch 3-4 movies with the time I had because I can start watching the moment I sat down (before the flight takes off). My only complaint was that the service provided by the stewardesses were not consistent and the pocket in front of the seats were not exactly cleaned and tidied up for the next flight. 

Impressive inflight entertainment system (notice that it even tells you that you are at seat 19E)

I really had a good time catching up with friends. I have mixed feelings knowing various good and not-so-good experiences that my friends went through... especially those whom I am closer to. I rejoice with thanksgiving to the Lord with news of pregnancies, kids, improved health conditions and those who persevere in the Lord during tough times. I wish I had more time/chance to talk to and pray with those going through major life decision-making, borderline breaking up of a relationship, marital problems, parenting trials, health issues. I shall be making some phone calls to 3 of them (that I have committed to) to do a little more in-depth catch-up. Knowing these issues that my friends are going through, helps me to pray for them. In some way, I feel burden-some but also privileged to have 2 sets of people - in SG and Oz to minister to and pray for. Maybe God is teaching me to pray... and I must when I tell people that I will pray for them.

Many people!

My favourite food during this trip?

1. Cumi Bali Indonesian
2. Spice Peranakan
3. Kuru Kuru Japanese (buffet is really good price and good quality! Children below height of 1.1m eats for free)
4. Bali Seafood Village (sells 'zi char' (stir-fry) Chinese food)

To my friends in Singapore: see you again in June!

A Day to The Australia Zoo

Kelloggs had a promotion that when you buy their cereal, you and someone get to go to the zoo for the price (A$55) of 1. You have to cut out the voucher on the cereal box. Hubby and I have never been to the Australia Zoo (aka Steve Irwin Zoo) so we thought we will go have a look during one of the days when we are not working between Christmas and New Year, before the voucher expires on 30 Dec.

There were many people at the zoo that same day that we were stuck in a jam 8km away from the entrance to drive into the parking area. It was supposed to rain (there has been thunderstorms since a week before) and it rained a few times when we drove there (1 hour 15 min journey) but thank God that He protected us from the rain when we were there. It only drizzled very lightly on a couple of occasions.

Actually, both of us are not big animal lovers, which also explains why we don't and will probably never have a pet. So what did we do there? I had a go at feeding an elephant a piece of sweet potato, we got to pat a koala and also a kangaroo. We also spent 1.5 hrs at the Crocoseum watching Bindi Irwin danced, some birds fly and saw the owner of the zoo, Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin and watching a crocodile being fed.

The cutest animal has got to be the koala. It really looks so cute and lazy. Other ones that impressed me were cassowary (the way it swallows its food), otter (cute and swift) and the kangaroo (which I got to touch and it will not run far away from me). Oh, I must not forget the many snakes I saw, with the Burmese snake being the most impressie and fattest! Eeks!

It is interesting to read and know how Australia Zoo came about. Steve Irwin used to own the zoo but since his death in 2006, his wife Terri owns and manages it. Steve has once remarked that he considers Singapore Zoo as Australia Zoo's sister.

At the end of the day I reckon that Singapore Zoo has many more species of animals than Australia Zoo and it was true as I compared the statistics on wikipedia. Singapore Zoo has a smaller land but more number of animals and species. However Australia Zoo has a strong wildlife conservation message and also allows you to come up close and personal with the animals which can be fun. Just to assure Singaporeans that they are not missing out a lot, especially with Night Safari too. However apparently Aust Zoo will be expanding soon and there will be more exhibits! But I will think twice though, since I can really just head to the much-nearer Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary to see some koalas, kangaroos and some others. But who knows, I might be convinced to go again in future when the zoo has expanded. Nevertheless, we are still thankful to be able to visit the zoo and spend a day out looking at the animals that God has created :)

Milk Frother

Bought this latte milk froth mixer from Peter's of Kensington for a very affordable price. Tried using it at the Hengs' and it does foams up warm milk - good for adding into coffee, hot chocolate or cappuccino! It comes with a stand to hold up the mixer which is good for drying the equipment.

I love it! :)

Singapore Flyer Sky Dining Experience

About 29 months ago, hubs proposed to me whilst having a sky dining experience on the cable car in Singapore. It was a really romantic and private time spent with just the 2 of us.

Today, I read about someone's experience at sky dining at the Singapore Flyer! It seems nicer, bigger and special BUT it does not come with a wallet-friendly price tag - S$199 per couple for a 3-course meal (double the price of that at the cable car) But if you would like the entire capsule to be yours, be prepared to fork out S$1,500! See details here.

It will be really nice to have dinner in the early evening with sunset in the background :)

It seems these are different:
- SG flyer is larger and not castrophobic (for those who might have that phobia)

- SG flyer has a butler in the cabin (well, it is larger right? But this also means no privacy :p)

- Cable car has a longer ride of about 1.5 hours. The SG flyer ride is only 1 hour. Dessert is served in the VIP lounge.

- You get to go to the VIP lounge to chill out if you go for the SG flyer.

- Complimentary parking is available at SG flyer.

- You can arrange for a bouquet of flowers to be given at the cable car ride but there is no mention if the SG flyer staff will do that for you.

- The cable car has piped-in love songs to create the mood. Not sure about SG flyer.

Take your pick. Which will you go?

Big Taboo

Heard of this new taboo game from ST. As an ardent fan of the classic taboo, news of this Big Taboo excites me. I went searching google where and how much does the game cost. I was glad to find out that it is sold in a game shop locally in Australia. (otherwise it is only available in US and shipping is not cheap).

The only shop that I could find, has a shop front at a shopping centre in Coffs Harbour (5-6 hours drive south of Brisbane, about half way to Sydney). I could have bought it via their website. But since we knew that we will be going there for a friend's wedding last weekend, we waited to get it from the shop ourselves.

We invested A$50 (it was tagged as $59.95 at the shop but we saw it for $49.95 on their website. They sold it to us at the cheaper price ;p) in our new board game or more correctly known to us as a "ministry game". We do not have any board games under our names. The only games that we have is a interactive dvd game about the earth (Christmas present from N&P) and majong (only 4 players). Big taboo is our first board game. We reckon that this is a good tool to help guests to chilll and fellowship. At gatherings sometimes, we borrow games (cranium, pictionary, rapidough) from friends whom we know owns them... Big taboo is one game that non of our closer friends have and hence we can share it around!

Can't wait to play this!

Twin eggs

I felt like I struck lottery when I saw this as I was breaking and separating egg yolks and whites. There were 2 egg yolks instead of 1! (See the difference between 2 separate egg yolks in the background and the twin yolks in the foreground) How cute is that! :)

New Church

Be there this Sunday, 8 Feb 2009, 5pm for a 5:17pm start

Turkey Cooking Class

When I was in secondary school, my classmates and I would hear of Violet Oon shepherd's pie but I never got to eat it. It was expensive then... Yesterday with thanks to MC, hubby and I went along with her to VO's cooking class where we learnt how to make our own Christmas turkey, sauce, gravy, veggies and potatoes. Because of MC's friendship with VO, we could be there to watch, learn and sample at no costs. The process seemed complicated and lots of preparation and cutting work. It takes quite a lot of time to cut up and prepare the ingredients and it also takes a long baking time. But I think it is not that difficult to make... (although the cost of the ingredients are not cheap) VO demonstrated how to prepare a turkey, bake it, make gravy, cranberry sauce, secret to roast yummy potatoes, make your own turkey stuffing. We also learnt how a sherry berry truffle was made.


With the 3 hours spent, we picked up quite a number of tips and had fun with VO telling us many stories as she demonstrated. Contrary to my preconceived ideas, VO has no airs. She is nice, warm, motherly lady. Hubby and I are running on a tight schedule, otherwise we may join her and a few others to make 6-8 turkeys to feed 100+ old folks at a home next weekend.

After all the learning, I only just began to appreciate the turkey that MC made for us last Christmas when she first learnt how to make a turkey from VO. Hubby and I hope to try to make it some time back in Brissy...?!?

My First Cherry Tomato

The 3 cherry tomato plants in my backyard are doing pretty well this year... Just before I left for Singapore, some tomatoes just began to start turning red. I was so excited that I thought to bring some to Singapore for my parents.

My mum said that they are sweet! Yum! Praise God for the harvest!

First Attempt to Barbeque

A panoramic shot of the bbq area

The townhouse complex that we live in comes with a swimming pool (which is really tiny. 2 strokes and you are at the other end. Probably call it a dipping pool instead), a tennis court (which we hardly use because we don't really play tennis), 2 bbq areas and a little playground.

Summer is approaching and many stores are having sale of bbq stoves and its related accessories. A bbq brush cleaner caught the attention of hubby whilst we were at Aldi. Hence we decided to buy it and attempt our first bbq at our complex compounds this afternoon.

(Top left clockwise) Tools of the trade (including the new brush cleaner. In fact, most of them are new), meats and veggies that we are about to cook and the gas bbq stove

And while hubby cooks, I was busy taking photos...

View of the surrounding area

Hubby in preparation, cleaning, cooking and finally, eating (All I did was eat and take photos :p)

Cooked food

VERDICT: It was quite a nice experience :) (maybe because I took a break in cooking and cleaning :p) Weather was really cool as it was drizzling a bit. Mozzies and flies will be a real problem in summer (not now YET). The food turned out a little too black but we removed the burnt bits before eating... But I know this makes hubby want to learn more about bbq cooking and to perfect his cooking skills in time to come. For that effort, his supportive wife scored him a 10/10.

Winter 'Shoes' a.k.a. Socks

Winter's coming and I could not resist to buy this pair of home socks/shoes for home wear. I have been eyeing to buy this for some time but I could not justify the need for it. Some time later, I saw my MIL and SIL both had a pair and they were really useful and warm to wear. Finally this was on sale and I bought it at 20% off the original price at Kmart! :)

In my favourite pinks & mary janes design :)

This is a soft, knitted pair of shoes to be worn at home. It feels like wearing socks but it has a non-slip sole glued on at the bottom. There are many colours available. I know my Aussie mates will not find this an exciting discovery/purchase. But to my Singapore friends, I think they (especially the girls) will share my excitement :p

I also saw a pattern on Lincraft knitting newsletter to knit this. I will attempt undertake the project after I complete my current sweater project.

Just as I was posting this entry, hubby came back with another pair of home socks (but of different brand)!

Purple pair with different soles. This has many small circle rubber stoppers on the sole.

I mentioned it to my SIL a few days ago that I could not find it at Big W. I think she saw it today, bought it and had just passed to hubby to give to me. Now I have 2 pairs, both in the colours that I like :) Let's see if hubby will wear the purple pair. At least the colour is less feminine (although this is actually really for women :p)

I cannot wait for winter to arrive!! :)

My New Pair of Eyes

Being a resident of Australia, you are entitled to government's Medicare. On top of that, I bought some private health insurance (something which most people are highly encouraged to). At the time that I joined the private health fund, they had a promotion and waived all 2 and 6-month waiting periods. Hence I get to benefit from seeing a dentist and recently, a new pair of glasses!

How it works is this: I went to an optical shop and had my eyes tested. The fee of optician was fully covered by Medicare. In Australia, you must have your own eye prescription for corrective glasses or contact lenses. And for the premium that I paid for my private health fund, I can fully claim the cost of corrective glasses or contact lenses up to a certain maximum amount per year. So, for the amount that I am entitled to, I got this new pair of glasses free! I have only paid 3 months worth of subscription to the insurance (amounting to about A$50) thus far but I can be fully covered for this pair of glasses which would have cost me more than A$200.

For now, my brain needs to get used to the clear and bright vision that this new 'pair of eyes' gives me. And I need to get used to my bespectacled look (which I never got used to over the past 18 years) I was told to wear less contact lenses because the blood vessels in my eyes are not getting enough oxygen supply :( (hee, I just remembered a little story relating to my bespectacled look)

Movies Under the Stars

Hubby brought me to spend a 'romantic' evening under the stars on Monday... watching big screen movies in the comfort of our car :) Apparently there are lesser and lesser of such outdoor drive-in theatres around in Brisbane. And since we still have a valid 1-for-1 Entertainment Book voucher, we figure it would be nice to spend the public holiday evening that way :)

It was the Yatala Twin Drive-In Theatre. For A$14, both of us drove our car in for 2 movies. We watched "Iron Man" and "Spiderwick Chronicles". We brought along our own dinner, snacks, desert, drinks, blanket and pillow. I thought it was quite cool and I have never done drive-in movies before. Singapore used to have such entertainment about 2 decades ago when there was more land available. The sound of the movies was piped in either with speakers that they provide, or you can tune in to specified radio stations in the car.

The big screen and cars in my background

We spent a special and relaxing evening together. The new Entertainment Book does not have the 1-for-1 vouchers anymore. But we got a discount card that night - A$10 per adult on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays if we present the card. Without the card, you can pay A$10 for Tuesdays. If anyone needs the card, we can loan it out :)

A poor attempt of impersonation

I definitely would like to go for this again :)
