Our 5th Valentine's Day

What does Valentine's day really mean? Why does it fall on the 14th of Feb? And who create this? I think all the questions above are somehow trivial. For me today, it marks a milestone in our relationship more than the roses itself. For a pursuer like myself in 4 years ago, it summons my courage to confess or express love to her, but poorly I failed to do so. Because I was too little confident and perhaps she is my first love. Fortunately I did the love confession in a month after the Valentine's day and the answer is YES.

She fancies Champagne Roses, but I only bought her red roses this time. Anyway she is happy what she has got and thanks for her valentine's gift too.

Ferarri 599 Fiorano - an ART or a CAR?

Elegant Horse

Truly Stylish Cruise on the Road

The performance of this car is claimed to be comparable to the Ferarri F1 car. I think it is a piece of luxurious art more than a car. This is exactly the car that Christiano Ronaldo writes off earlier this month. His split second collision ruined months of hard work by Ferarri's workers. Still, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is my favourite car.

Up to Rocky soon...

To earn a better living, my dear CherLyn is forced to work tiredly under frequently changing environment. It has been three days without her beside me. A Chinese idiom: 'Separate for 3 days as if 3 seasons' may best describe my feeling. However, the provisional separation is nothing compared to the previous three-year long distance we had been through. Nevertheless I am not pessimistic because I know every separation will only make us stronger, tougher and everlasting.

In these two weeks, she has been relieved to Rockhampton, a regional town 650km away from me. I know this is just a beginning, sacrifices are necessary to power our dreams to reality. I believe that all of these will be eventually paid off. As I have seen, earn money abroad is never easy, because we the foreigners are always at the bottom of the list in job market. To obtain a job, the rules of three may apply - time, location and people. I am grateful that CherLyn met all the rules and secured a brilliant job.

As the CNY is imminent, I will fly to Rocky and celebrate the big day with her. I hereby wish everyone a joyful and prosperous OX year! Counting down to Rocky...2 days :)

8/1/2009, Cloudy

This morning is fairly cloudy and likely to shower. My dear claimed this weather as her favourite, then she drives to Redcliffe as usual. The whole house has become quiet again, bird sounds are clearly heard and even the yawning of small house creatures. At this time, I usually watch online news from Australia and Malaysia, check mails and one more thing today-writing blog.

The recent headline of the global news is the Israel attacking Gaza strip. I think the knot between Jewish and Palestinian will never be unleashed after having started this war. Israel has no intention to stop the war but intensifies the attacks to ground instead. With the US allied with Israel, I believe the war will continue until the whole Gaza is devastated. In the next few years, more terrorist attacks are expected as the tension due to the war rises. Hopefully we, family and friends are always safe from the disasters.

It is exactly two months left for my summer vacation. I crave for more part-time shifts in this period to lessen financial deficiency. I also hope my sister will secure a desirable job soon and good day everyone!

Best regards,

Christmas Lights 2008

Many people think that Christmas is the most eventful day in white people's countries, ironically it turns out to be opposite in Australia. With virtually all the shops shut and public transportation paralysed on Christmas day, the whole city turns into dead state. To add some colours to our Christmas, we came out with a solution--Christmas Lights. Apparently we don't have extra money to invest in Christmas lights, instead we went to see others' Christmas lights.

What really drives these people to decorate their houses in such a crazy way? Prizes? Or simply their hobbies? Only themselves know. Christmas lights competition is hold annually to award the best decorating houses. As we live in south side of Brisbane, so we find the address of winners in southern suburbs.

The first house we had been is the second runner-up of the competition. As we approached the destination, traffic started running slow and we even saw some minibuses carry tourists in, incredible! After having parked our car on driveway, we slowly walked to the house. The first thing we saw is this one.

These little penguins can sing and dance,

my dear loves them so much.

According to the house owner, the decoration items are their Christmas collection over 20 years and some items are just recently bought. They spent 6 months daily to complete the whole decoration, awesome!

Afterthat, we drove to the second destination which is highly recommended by our housemate. As we turned into the junction, we saw something spectacular. It was sparkling Christmas lights dancing with music. We then recorded some clips and watched it with eyes open wide.

After the impressive show, we made our way to the last destination which is the competition champion. Similarly, the street was crammed with cars and people, so we parked our car further away. As the champion implied, this house was even more exaggerated, my goodness. The most remarkable thing was the trains manoeuvring on the tracks in and out of the artificial structures.

Dear posing with a fat Santa but received no gifts.

We have no reservation to give a thumb up to these decorators. Total gain of this journey = zero gifts + infinite WOWs (surprises).

Welcome to our blog !!

My intention of creating this blog is to pay tribute to my lov-est CherLyn for her continuous commitment in our relationship. As her boyfriend, I am proud to be her life companion and ready to protect, pamper and delight her in every manner. This blog will be used to record our feelings, both joys and grieves and more importantly, our memories.

In short, I hope our relationship will drive us further and further to the ultimate of life. I promise you that my heart and soul will follow you until the last breath of my life and perhaps afterlife.

Loves and Hugs,

Victor.
