Aussie Chaprter 2 : Mt Tambourine

Yesterday we all, 12 Tsens and Chongs went for a day trip to Mt Tambourine in 3 cars. Left late as usual, but made it in time for lunch of pies. The pies about 6" in diameter costs AUD$7.50 each. My kids had 2 each ! We stopped converting some time ago otherwise cant eat.

The weather was fine by aussie standard, hot,hot,hot. Linda and me had our hats on, long sleeves and lots of sunblock. The quaint little town was fun to walk around and shop. Yes! shop! The shops sold cute stuffs...of course , some made in China. What do you expect? The aussies cant make anything cheap.

Of course we went for wine tasting and to a cheese outlet. Tried cheeses that we dont ormally get in Sandakan. After trying must buy lah! Cant let them think we are cheap chinaman. Luckily no one was wearing black socks and white shoes !!!

Since I cant drink wine, I sat and watched the rest nosh up. Out of pity the man served me with plain water. Life sucks sometimes when your DNA is different . Our group bought enough wine to keep them happy working overtime. The lady serving is chinese and she didnt mind working past closing time. Unlike the other winery we went to. Closing time means 'sorry, go away'

Then we went to Ikea for sweddish meatballs...or so we thought, but Douglas got the days wrong and Ikea was closed at 7pm. The next best place was Jing Star, chinese food....the food disappeared so fast that even 2010 was considered slow....hahaha, 12hungry wolves.

This morning, 19/12 , is a do nothing day. We were supposed to plan something but as usual, everyone was too tired to initiate a pow wow last nite. I am very sure none of the Chongs are up. 2 Tsens are still sleeping and its already 11.30am.....so tidur lah.....zzzzzzzzzzzz
