See taw bae lay

Its strawberry season!! Glorious ! I can easily gobble an entire pint in one seating. At 2.99/pint, we are only starting the season so I'll be hoping for cheaper fruits soon. The fruits get so large, they are almost 3x the size of the pathetic Camerons variety. And, I found a great way to enjoy them....

...dipped in chocolate custard! Yummilicious! Just don't look at the fat content.

My Avian Weekend

The past week, my old high school friend Cheryl decided to bunk at my place while attending an event in Sydney. We went out to the fish market for lunch on Saturday to fulfill my long awaited craving for sashimi and oysters. Oh, and of course to bring her on a city tour too. While enjoying the beautiful sunshine, gorgeous view of the Anzac bridge, my 1/2 doz Oysters (which i swear, were so fresh I could taste the saltwater!), 400g of tuna and salmon sashimi, a platter of other cooked seafood, a resident seagull decided to swipe a piece of my Grade A sashimi from my plate! Needless to say I freaked out and made a small scene , waving my paper napkin around like a top notch sissy. How embarassing.

Ah well, still was a great day to be out and about.

Bone Biology Unit, Anzac Research Institute

Last week, the entire lab had a celebration for some who had recently published papers and going for oral presentations in New Zealand. I can't wait till I have some nice data to publish and present, hopefully in a swanky international conference. Defintely feeling the pressue to get good work out since everyone in my dept. is doing such a good job.

We took some nice pics to put into the official website so I thought I'll put it up here. People-wise, it really has been great, everyone is super nice and helpful and made my transition into their workspace so easy.

Markus wanted a nice portrait of everyone for the website. Looks nice eh? Surprising enough, it's just on a skywalk in the mall. Must be a good camera. (L-R) Gorgeous me, Mystie, Janine, Hong, Colette, Yu, Markus S, Colin, Robert, Markus and James.
