Matthew's haircut

Matthew's hair is starting to look like a porcupine, so we decided to bring him to the barber.
His hair is a very good example of defying gravity. It just doesn't lie flat on his head, especially the center part. When it was finally his turn on the barber's chair, he started to wail! As if I was sending him to army at the tender young age. Nothing was able to distract his attention from the barber's clipper. After 5 mins of struggle, we knew it was not going to work, so went back

So, I decided to give it a snip, more than a snip actually. I actually had a bit of phobia from the last cut, because it was quite badly done as it was not even at certain parts (it was my first time afterall). However this time, I learnt from the 'Junior League' in Singapore, where they showed children program in front of the kid, while cutting their hair. I brought my laptop into the toilet and played his favourite DVD while I clip away slowly. It was so much better this time. He was 'entertained' and I was much calmer because he wasn't fussing that much.

The only hairstyle I can do is crew cut. So in the end, he looked like a junior recruit ready for BMT! We also saved $11.50 as a result.

First Day of Summer!

Today is the first day of summer. We drove to the bay for a day trip. After an hour drive south down the Mornington Peninsula, Matthew could not take it anymore, so we stopped by Frankston for a pit stop. We went to the nearby pier to take a look. Frankston was the suburb that I stayed at when I was studying at Monash. The pier has changed alot since the last time we went there.

Matthew was like a bird struggling to get out when we reached the beach. He simply LOVES sand. He just ran straight to the beach when we arrived. Lots of powerboats, sails and jetskis in the bay. The Bay is actually quite large and you can't see the opposite shore so it looks more like the sea. Water is very clear and there were a few people in the water. Tempting to go in, but we weren't prepared for water today.


We left for the Red Hill craft market after we convinced Matthew to move on. It was about to close when we reached there, so we will go back there next month. (It only opens on the 1st Saturday of every month).

We headed south further for about 10mins to Arthur Seat. This is a mountain ridge or hill at 300m with a great view of the Bay and Peninsula. Went for a walk around the park. It was quite nice also because it wasn't as crowded as we expected. Lots of BBQ pits and people grilling away. Seems that there were more flies in some areas more than others, and as expected, they would be attracted to cooking. We came across a group of BBQ'ers vigorously defending against flies - 2 x cooks frantically flipping the chickie wings + 3 x fly defenders encircling the pit, with arms waving in a systemic defensive arc-like motion. At least they'll have the appetite to eat when its ready.

After the walk, we headed back to the carpark ate some ice cream to cool us down. It was quite warm, mainly due to the sun, even though the temperature was only 22C. Quite nice actually.

Self soothing

Whenever Matthew hurts himself, he will come running to me and says, "Mummy sayang". I will have to kiss the spot that was hurt to make him feel better. There was this time when we were riding in the car, and he remembered hurting his leg when we went barbeque the other day, and as usual, he asked me to 'sayang' him. However, I was sitting in front and cannot reach him, so I asked him to 'sayang' himself, and guess what, he lifted up his leg and kissed the spot that was hurt!

From then on, he developed his own self soothing technique and if he sees me busy, he will 'help' himself first before running to me. We haven't got a chance to take any picture of him doing that. Watch out for this space and we will upload it whenever we get the chance.

St Kilda beach

Sunny day (20C) at St Kilda Beach. Antarctic winds were quite a chill, and that made it very cold. You'll see Matthew donning his jacket in the last few photos.

It's the flies season!

Today is the hottest day since we came. Lowest of 20C and max of 37C! I have already anticipated that and have shut all the drapes, windows and doors in the house. Cannot let the hot air come into the house otherwise it is going to feel like an oven. It is so far so good. When the temperature rise, that means the flies are out!

The flies here can be super irritating! They will hover around you like blood sucker and when you are outside, you are practically waving your hand all the time. Matthew cried the first time when he was disturbed by the flies. Haha! Now he knows them as 'stupid flies'.

I think this summer is going to be very hot. It's not even December yet, and we are hitting over 30C temperature. I cannot imagine what it is going to be like when summer comes. Thank God Matthew and me will be going back to Singapore in January, where it is cooler during that time of the year.

School hunting

We went to a visit a private school last Saturday morning. It is an all boys school, starting from Pre-prep (K1) all the way to Yr 12(JC2). The school only take in 1240 students, so there is limited space. We sat through the presentation given by the Headmaster and then went on to tour the Junior school section.

I like the idea of a single sex school, and the fact that it starts from Pre-prep, means that you will be attached to that school for most of your student life (provided you don't get kicked out or dropped out). However, the main concern is the cost of the fees. It starts from $10,000 all the way to $18,000 for Year 12! It is almost equivalent to paying for a university education. We just cannot afford that kind of money for so many years. We do hear people say that it's better to put kids in private school from Yr 7 onwards, so we might do that.

The most ridiculous thing is that parents are actually enrolling their kids even before they were born. As soon as you know the gender of your baby, you better go and enrol him into a private school, else the waiting list is going to be long. The problem with the selection is that it is not based on academic results, but based on the date you lodged your application. So the earlier you apply, the higher is your chance.

I never thought that I will have to worry about 'school hunting' so early. Matthew is not even 2 years old yet! I think we will 'shop' around some more and enrol him into a good school soon.

Let's Dig In

Last Sunday was the opening ceremony of the sandpit. Hee Juan ordered the sand and we wait patiently for the it to arrive at 3pm. After the sand was dropped off at the drive way, the 2 daddies (Hee Juan and Liam, our neighbour) had a taste of what coolies feel like. They have to shovel the sand into buckets and transfer it to the sandpit. After awhile, Hee Juan was perspiring for the first time.

The kids stood by eagerly for the sandpit to be filled up, getting ready their sand play toys and standing around trying to help.

Finally the last bucket of sand went in and before any signal was given for the kids to start, they were already busy digging in the sand.

As we bought the washed sand, they were still quite wet and needless to say, the children have sand all over them in no time.

Daddy, 'care-pull'

It has been more than 3 weeks since our last post. Time really flies. Out of those few weeks, we had the grandparents visiting. Matthew managed to master how to say 'Gong Gong' and 'Grandma' before they arrived. Before that, he was saying 'Gng Gng' and 'Ma Ma'. He certainly enjoyed himself during those 2 weeks, as 'Mr OK' (Grandpa) was here. Everything is ok and can do when grandpa is around. They also enjoyed themselves alot as Matthew has picked up alot of words and is able to communicate better.

We bought a shelf from Ikea last week, and only managed to piece it up 2 days ago. During the construction, Hee Juan hurt himself and got a scratch from the sharp corner of the shelf. I was checking with him yesterday about the wound, and Matthew was also very concerned. He kept pointing to the wound and said, 'Daddy pain pain', and then at the end, he added 'care-pull!'. Which means 'careful' in his yet-to-be-perfect English. After that, he smiled. He can be such a darling sometimes. I think he has began to be more aware of feelings now. For eg, whenever we just let out an 'Ouch', he will say, 'Mummy/Daddy pain pain', then he will come and sayang us by touching us on the head.

This is a picture of Matthew participating in our shelf building.

Lawn mower symphony

Most houses/units have a grass patch in the front or backyard. It gets quite long, as most grass tend to do, so a regular cutting is required every few weeks or so, depending on your tolerance for unsightly yards.

I was told by a colleague that Sunday are de-facto lawn mowing days. This is probably because people who work, do not have time to mow their lawns on weekdays. Oddly enough, this becomes a ritual. As observed by my colleague, although retirees have the whole week (mon-fri) to trim their grass, they only do it on weekends. Another ritual observed is that after the 1st lawn mower starts, the sound (which sounds like brrrrrrrrr...) of the petrol powered cutter engine 'makes a call' to all other lawn mowers 'to join in' and shortly after, you will find the whole neighbourhood in a symphony of grass-cutters.

Being a first-timer, we bought a manual lawn mower, thinking "how hard could it be?". However it turned out to be quite a physical work out. Often getting stuck halfway, we needed to remove the clumps of grass and dirt stuck in the blades. Partly this was due to long-overdue grass cutting - longer grass tends make difficult cutting, especially with a manual. After an hour of hardwork, the job was done. However upon inspection later, the lawn as if it had been ravaged by some wild grass eating creature, with haphazard patches of uncut grass scattered at various places.

I guess another round of trimming is in order... next week.

1st trip to the Doctor

Matthew caught a cold and had running nose 2 days ago. The stuffy nose resulted in him not able to sleep well and woke up every one hour at night. That made the 2 of us very miserable, so I brought him to the doctor 1st thing in the morning.

We went to a nearby clinic as recommended by the neighbour. It was a 5 mins drive away. You need to make an appointment for the clinic here. Some clinic can be really busy that you might not even get an appointment on the same day itself. Thank God we managed to get one before lunch time.

As it was our first time at the clinic, we had to fill up a form first. Matthew's cold was so bad, that his nose was literally dripping like a tap! Regardless of that, he was still playing with the toys there. When it came to our turn to see the doctor, Matthew was quite co-operative. He is actually quite used to being examined by the doctor. He used to visit the clinic more than we do, back in Singapore. After the examination, the doctor asked what was it that is worrying me. I was like, er, his running nose, can you not see that it is dripping like a tap?! I was actually expecting him to prescribe me with some cold medicine to stop the 'tap'. Then the doctor said, he usually doesn't prescribe any medicine for this kind of 'illness'. He said if you want, then give him some paracetemol, and give him time to heal. Cold medicine might make the heart works harder and make it more miserable for the child and might cause heart palpitation. But but but, my doctor in Singapore always give Matthew all sorts of flu medicine! Now, who is correct here?! I guess it's different practise and culture. People tends to self medicate here if it's common flu or cold. When it was time to go, Matthew waved goodbye, blow flying kiss, and even gave the doctor a 'hi five' on his hand.

I wasn't ready to give him time to heal, so I went to the pharmacy to get a medicine to stop his running nose. He is abit better now, at least not as bad as yesterday. I hope he will heal tomorrow and stop being so miserable.

Matthew's Hide and Seek

Matthew has been very 'proactive' lately. He will initiate games that involve us. One of which is 'hide and seek'. He will drag one of us to the room, push us in, and then walk away. When he walks away, he will then whisper "go there" and point to the living room. It's like him telling us, "I'm going there, come and find me". He will then run to the living room, and call out to either daddy or mummy (depending who is inside the room), and then the other parent is supposed to respond with "where?" After that he will go looking for us, and we're supposed to 'scare' him and he will go running hysterically out to the living room.

He can do this over and over again, pushing us into different room each time. If you don't oblige him, he will whine until you give in.

He also wants to get involve whenever I am cooking. He likes to see and wants to know the different ingredients being used. His favourite food is by far, potato, carrot, tofu and fish ball. He's very picky with his food, or shall i say he's lazy to chew. He doesn't like to chew on meat or anything that is too grainy. He will chew and spit out whatever he can't. I'm still waiting for the day that he eats everything.

The Road to Independence

Matthew is 19 months now, and he is certainly eager to grow up. He likes to copy us when we do things, like, drink from a cup, feeding himself. Nowadays, whenever he's having dinner, we need to prepare 2 spoons, 1 for me and 1 for him. And his way of feeding himself, is putting food in my spoon, then I in turn feed him. He does put food in his mouth occassionally. There are also times when we forbid him from self feeding, and then he will get really frustrated and keep saying 'feed feed'. He has been learning to drink from the cup now, and getting better at it.

Staying at home with him can be quite tiring but also fulfilling. He seems to be learning new things everyday, and when I did a count of words he knows...he actually can say more than 85 words! He's quite a vocal boy, or at least that is what we taught him to be. He used to be whining whenever he wants something, but we told him to tell us what he wants because we cannot understand his whines. He seems to understand, and has been picking up words pretty quickly ever since. I don't know if he's considered advanced, but I am not complaining.

Here's a picture of him taking cereal in the morning, and posing for the camera at the same time.

Spring is coming!

Today is a sunny and cool day. Just 21 degrees, perfect temperature. We went to the market early this morning to do our weekly marketing. Made it a point to go earlier, to avoid the crowd. Matthew also woke up very early, and won't go back to sleep after his milk. We had no choice but to wake up also.

Box Hill, where we stayed, is a town with the largest Asian population. If you're at the town on a Saturday morning, you might have thought that you are in one of the Asian countries, instead of Australia. It is also very convenient shopping here, as you can get almost everything you can find in Singapore. Price difference aside, it's always heart warming to see familiar food.

Since it is a sunny day, Matthew has been able to roam outside without a jacket on. Here's a picture of him playing with the pebbles outside the house. He likes to throw them on the floor.

Something very funny happened. We bought strawberries from the market, so I taught Matthew how to say it in Mandarin. Strawberry is 'cao mei' in Mandarin, but he said it as 'dao mei'! (which happens to mean 'bad luck', something very very different.) He kept repeating it, as it is a new word...and we nearly faint as he got better at it. In order to distract him from his new word, I introduce something else to him.

Back online

It's been a while since we wrote anything, and it has been largely due to lack internet access at home, but that has been resolved recently after subscribing to an ADSL service.

Since we came back from Singapore, we've done up the house a bit more to make a house look more like a home. I've also started work for a few weeks now.

Job and work topics will be absent from my blogs for obvious reasons, however I may talk about 'work life' in general.

I've been taking the train to work (in CBD) but occasionally driving. Trains here are fairly frequent and the service from our stop, Box Hill, to CBD is quite fast (18mins) as there are express services during peak. This means that the train stops at only 2-3 stations as opposed to the full 12 stations. That makes a big difference.

Weather here is still cold. 5-17C usually. Day time is OK, but it is quite chilly in the morning and nights. Although my train ride to town is 18mins, I take another 18mins to walk to station from the house. I tend to walk faster when its colder :) . It's a good 1.3km walk, so it can be a little uncomfortable when the mornings are 3C and all I got on is a suit. Once I get my new car (on the way) I intend to do lot less walking in the cold.

Once I reach my station in town, a short 5min walk brings me to my office. I would normally grab a coffee and "kueh" at a nearby coffee shop and "tarpow" up to my office for a quick brekkie. That has been my routine so far. A brekkie like that costs me around $5. Things like that are more expensive, so one needs to get used that. If my "brekkie lifestyle" becomes unsustainable, I will probably resort to waking up earlier to eat at home ( = less sleep).


Little Matthew has also been coping quite well. He is aware of the changes in the surrounding, but doesn't seem to be affected too much by the changes. This is a picture of him with his new bed in his room.

Day 8 - We got the car!

We were very excited today as we were going to sign the lease of the house with the agent. As straight forward as it is, we still need to sign on every item on the tenancy agreement. There were about 47 items and 3 copies of the same document, one for the agent, tenant and the landlord. Now, you do the math! The signature just got shorter and shorter. We then borrowed the keys to do some measurement of the house. We practically measured the whole house! Here are some pictures of the house. We also met up with the landlord, who apparently stays behind our house. They have 2 young boys, whom I think can be playmates with Matthew next time. They seems to be Hongkongers. Well, we will find out that soon.

After the house, we drove to Seaford to check out a Hyundai Lantra Sportswagon. Seaford is quite far from Box Hill, so we definitely don't wish to go back empty handed this time. We test drove the Hyundai, and much to our disappointment, it just didn't match up to our slightest expectation. First of all, it creaks! Alot! And the window at the driver's side, cannot be wind down properly, let alone be wind up again. And then there was the missing door opener at the right hand side of the passenger seat. Is that a reinforcement of child lock or what?! After the broken window, we were ready to turn back the car and send it back. The sales guy then recommended a Ford Mondeo to us. Although it is 2 years older than the Hyundai, it is a luxury car, and it has power everything. Power window, central locking, power mirror steering, and airbags! We test drove it, and it turned out to be the most steady and comfortable car out of all we have tested. Not that we have tested alot! This car hunting is very tiring, so when we found one that we liked, we bought it. Spent about another one hour at the car yard to process the payments, and we got the keys and drove it back to city. Short and sweet process. By the way, it costs us $6,500. $1000 below our budget that was meant for a Camry.

Day 7 - We got the House!

(by ChinEe)

Woke up late, and had an expensive breakfast at the coffee house downstairs. Cost us A$27 for a pancake, omelette with coffee and tea! Anyway, that was quite filling and lasted us till 2pm.

We were quite anxious the whole day as we are supposed to know if any of our applications got through, but till noon, nobody called us yet. I called up one of the agents and I was told that if the agent didn't call, she/he probably doesn't have any feedback themselves. So that kind of assured me a little.

Shortlisted some more cars, and text the owners to see if they are still available. Texting is cheaper than calling, literally $0.25 vs $1. The cost for using mobile phone here is horrendous, that is comparing to the competitive rates in Singapore.

We made an appointment with a Volkswagon Passat owner, and he was 20km away north from the city, which is probably like driving from Changi to CBD. It was a disappointing viewing. Although it is supposed to be 'luxury' car, it was pretty used in the interior. First of all, we almost couldn't go for a test drive, as the engine didn't start! After driving around for awhile, it was even worse than the Camry we tested the day before. Engine performance aside, the interior of the car seems like it has been around for more than 20 years. Just not well maintained. The owner was even quoting it for A$7950! So much for driving to the other end of town to view that kind of car.

Hee Juan had a missed call on the way back, and we didn't know if it was from the agent (no caller id shown), so we decided to head back to the apartment to call and check for updates as well. True enough, she was the one who called earlier on, and she has good news for us! WE GOT THE HOUSE! Our 1st choice. Thank God for that! Only God can provide us with accommodation in less than 1 week time. We spoke to an agent and she was telling us it usually take weeks before one gets a place. We were very excited and happy and quickly called up the bank to arrange for bank cheques and then we went to Ikea to look at things to buy.

We then brought back some food from Coles and came back to cook. Somehow homecook food still taste better outside food, even though the ingredients was pretty instant. We had chicken kebabs, canned soup and salad, and not forgetting some really nice and crunchy strawberries.

Must sleep early tonight as tomorrow is SHOPPING DAY!

Day 6

This entry is written by Chin Ee, Hee Juan's wife, for those who don't know.

Monday was a very relaxed day for us, as there wasn't any viewing of houses and we were practically 'stucked' as we haven't had any confirmed accommodation so we can't shop for white goods, furniture, etc. We decided to attend to administrative stuff, like applying for the Medicare card, and getting our Tax File No.

We actually went to the Tax Office to retrieve our old Tax File No, as we have forgotten ours. However, we were told that our old number has been deleted, so we need to apply for new one. Oh well, we decided to do it once we have a permanent address, it's not that urgent anyway.

Applying for Medicare card was pretty straightforward. Only need to show them our passport and fill up a form, and voila, we have access to near 'free' health care!

We went to test out a 1996 Camry from a private seller in the afternoon. After testing, we realised that wasn't the optimum buy, because of the tinted window (shabbily done, thus affected vision), and the small side mirror. Call us fussy, but that certainly wasn't worth A$7100. Maybe if it was knocked down to A$6000. Fat hope, I think. Anyway, because we were near Springvale, we decided to revisit the vietnamese restaurant where we had the most amazing chilli crab for dinner. When we reached there, we couldn't find it, and can't remember where exactly it was, so we just settled down in this Vietnamese place for simple dinner. Turned out to be not bad. The thing here with the restaurant or any eatery you go to, you don't have to use your own tissue! Even the stalls in the food court will provide you with at least a piece of servette! How nice is that? Unheard of in Singapore.

Took a slow and relax drive back to the city and had an early night.

Day 5

Went to Yum Cha at Doncaster. Restaurant called "Golden Dragon Palace" on Manningham road. Restaurant was very crowded with an equal number of asian as well as anglo. Food was OK, but seems a bit pricey compared to Singapore. About $25/head. However I guess you can't really compare prices here with Singapore as restaurant food will always be more pricey here.

We needed a 2nd hand car as the one we have now is rented (Mistubishi 380 - I have some rants about this car.. later). There is a used-car lot at Ringwood which is a lot like the ones in Singapore except the car dealers aren't that aggresive. In a Singapore car-lot, once you are within a dealers 'zone' he will keep hounding you like a dog guarding his owners property until you run away. OK, that was an exageration, but I get that once in a while. Aussie dealers just ask you if you need help, and if you say you are just looking, they will leave you alone.

We were looking for a 10year old Camry for around $6-7K but apparently that is a bit out of range of reality. It seems that for $10-$13K you can get a very decent 4dr auto vehicle. Anything lower is probably very old. Another odd thing about the Australian used-car market is that 99% (about there) don't have leather seats; they use fabric. The ugly ones usually. The worse thing is that they seem to absorb and emit odors of the previous owners or cigarette smoke. Very nasty.

So we couldn't find our $6,000 dream car, so I guess we'll need to review our budget and review our requirements.

day 4

Saturday is house inspection galore day. It is the day where you will find the most number of rental properties open for inspection.

We started the day early at 9am to a house at BoxHill North. Nice. Very nice. Weatherboard house (made of wooden slats on the outside), but looks very new probably due to renovation. Wooden floorboards everywhere, which means carpets or rugs will be needed in the bedrooms. Not a problem. Backyard is isn't large, but there is a large elevated deck at the back, where you can have your BBQs. Heating is via gas heating ducts. This is a cost effective way of heating the whole house. Better than electric-based heating because gas is cheaper. We like this one a lot. There was only another group of 2 asian girls there, so hopefully there aren't too many competitors. We submitted the application, so we should be able to get an answer by Monday or Tuesday.

Throughout the day we went on to view 7 more properties up until around 3pm. It was a very hectic and tight schedule. 5-7mins to view a house then another 5-10mins to zoom to the next house which could be several suburbs away. Thanks to our new Garmin C510 GPS, it helped to cut down the travel time - just key in the address and it guides you to the destination.

The final house we visited at Burwood was extremely popular. There was a huge crowd queuing up to enter the house, like there was some sale or freebies being given away. The property agent could be heard saying "quickly move along, lots of people viewing, closing soon". It was like a museum house where someone famous lived there, and everyone walks around admiring the furniture and paintings within. It was an odd experience. Nonetheless, despite the competition, we applied for it, offering $10/week more than the asking rate. :)

Ending the day dropping by all the agent offices to drop off the application forms. Tired.

Day 2

Had a good rest and woke at 10am. Brekkie at the Deli downstairs. $5 for bacon/egg sandwich and coffee/tea.

We took care of the banking stuff in the morning. Took the City Circle tram (which is free) to the other end of town where the bank office was.

One advantage of opening a bank account from overseas is that you get special treatment when you arrive (for the bank that we opened with). You will be assigned a so-called "private banker" that will take care of all your needs. She will waive fees for things such as bank statements and bank cheques, and these can be done over the phone instead of queueing in line. Another major plus is credit card application. In general, in Australia you will need 6 months of credit history locally before you can apply for any card no matter how long you've been working in your home country. However in our case, it will only take 4-5 days to approve. Neat huh.

Had a house viewing the afternoon at Oakleigh East, which is 17km from the City, which is near our max limits of where we want to live. 2 story unit in a mini cul-de-sac type of property. Only downside is distance and no near train line. We rate this one a average.

Dropped by our cousin's place in the evening for some catch-up. Their 6 month old baby was happy to see us and was constantly seeking the visitor's attention. My cousin stays in one of the nicer parts of Melbourne called Glen Iris. Nice neighbourhood and nice house. Very cosy. Very 'family' type of house.

Went to Chadstone shopping mall. Largest in Australia I think. Tried to find a optician to make new spectacles. Found out it costs $530 for a 1.74dense plastic lens. Wow. I think this is 3-4 times the cost in SIngapore. I reckon this is due to the fact that most people have private insurance or medicare that covers a lot of this costs, so they only bring in the expensive stuff. Thus I'll probably get my specs when I get back to Singapore, or get my private insurance done.

Day 1 in Melbourne

I am writing this after 2 days as we were too exhausted and tired at the end of the first day.

We landed at Tullamarine airport around 445am Melbourne time. Hardly having slept on the 7 hour plane ride from Singapore, I was fairly alert still. Rented a car and drove to our serviced apartment in the CBD. Reached at 7am.

Funny thing, when you call a hotel to confirm that your room is ready on Wednesday, it means you check in after noon, even when you confirm that you will be there at 7am?? So there we were at 7am with our room not ready, pondering if we should hang out on the cold streets for another 4-5hours. Thankfully the quick thinking staff managed to find us a temporary room to rest after a bit of persuasion.



Napped 3 hours. Off to lunch at a Vietnamese cafe along Swanston St. Met ChinEe's friend there. Rumour has it that the soup is recycled so her friend drank it all up to "prevent it" from being recycled. I'm sure its not true. Soup taste good though.

Spent the afternoon viewing 4 houses for rent in the Eastern suburbs. Didn't really like most of them except one - just found out that it has been let our already. Takes only one day for houses to be snapped up. These are very difficult times for renters and the rental market is extremely good with <1% vacancy rate at any time. Got to be fast, Really fast.


Dinner at Central. Sushi bar on level 3. Very expensive compared to Singapore. Sushi plates from $2.50-7.50. I can't even recognize most of them. Seems they like Tuna a lot as 75% of the sushi had "Tuna element". Weird.

Very very tired having only slept 3hours. Slept early.
