With soaring oil prices, everyone suffer from the effects of inflation… Shopping in HK used to be very affordable. It’s still cheaper than shopping in Australia, but it’s nowhere as cheap as how it used to be. Nowadays when you go shopping in HK, you shop for the style and quality, rather than for the [...]
The Parliament of New South Wales passed the World Youth Day Act 2006 especially for the event. The regulations made under this act however have been the source of some controversy, mainly in the operation of various provisions of the World Youth Day Regulation 2008 within hundreds of so-called declared areas across Sydney. Of the [...]
This means we can literally FINE someone if we feel like it…. XD
But then, I wonder how many overseas pilgrims actually know about this “new law” during WYD week. Maybe we’ll bump into some people annoying us afterall. At church, I heard about an “offending” t-shirt that has the map of Australia and the words [...]
And they say there are not enough teachers and teachers say they’re underpaid…. THIS is WHY:

有錢不一定是好事. 有些人不懂得去省錢, 只會去花錢. 美國也特別多新聞讓藝人遺臭萬年.
我覺得 LIndsay Lohan 滿可憐的. 從小就開始拍電影. 不曉得是不是家人沒教, 跟 Paris Hilton 那種人在一起, 真的是被害得很慘….. 為他覺得可惜.
幸好 so far Daniel Radcliffe 剛十八歲, 還沒開始亂七八糟, 目前的 largest expense is on books. Hope he can keep this up.

早上在 radio 上聽到副省長 Anna Bligh 講有關 Level 5 Water Restriction 的事. 沒有全部聽完, 聽說跟洗澡時間有關係… 可是之後上線看 Level 5 Draft, 都沒提到洗澡時間的 restriction 呢. 最讓我注意到的是不准洗車了 = = 除非是用自己的 rainwater tank 裡面的水. 現在水塘的水位只剩21%… 真的很讓人擔心….
以下的報導是我爸寄給我的. 說recommend大家的洗澡時間別超過四分鐘. 這樣可以省下很多水. 想起星期天, 兩個小女孩雖然不懂事, 可是洗澡開大水 (大到我們家plumbing都響了), 而且洗了二十幾分鐘都還不出來, 真的很浪費水…. 那天有點不高興. 不過事情都發生了, 也不能怎樣. 現在開始, 大家要更努力的去 save water 囉….
