Facebook oh facebook

I have so many 'friends' on facebook.. some of the friends that I added - I can't even remember them. I just "confirm" as default so that I don't offend anybody.. now it has becoming rather annoying - even the ones that I do know --- I don't really want to add them... the relatives section are more annoying. I certainly don't want to share certain comments with my nephews or nieces...
Some people use facebook for $$ - good luck to them.
If any of my frriends wants to sell something through facebook - that is fair enough - I normally try to support them.
BUT... if friends of friends.... I want to just delete them for good. Can somebody tell me how to delete these annoyances??

That Old Seal

According to Aminah that seal at Victoria Dock is quite an old seal - always been there. It made the dock it's home. He doesn't even bother migrating... there must be somebody feeding him there???? how come I never saw him before....

Mures Upper Deck

When 'Intanida' were here we weren't that hungry to have the lunch at Mures. The view from up here is stunning. The food is so so. Not much choice for halal eaters.

We were entertained by this old seal (couldn't get good shot of him)

My kids would have love this place....

Seafood Chowder - I can't eat it because it has bacon. It was nice according to my lunch mate

Caesar salad with anchovies! I must say I won't order it again.

The prawns were fresh but it's a bit sweet sauce for me. If I come back it will be for the view...




The old jam factory














A night at Customs House

Right after Intanida's visit, I had to go to Hobart for work. I stayed at Customs House Hotel right at the waterfront! My room isn't facing the water though.

The feature wall in the room is the convict bricks wall. My own 'convict' wall for the night! (Che Wang akan spooked habis habisan nih.. I think)

If the stones can tell a story....
The TV was'nt working (or it could be me don't know how to operate it??)

The room is $105 a night with cooked breakfast. I thought it isn't bad. I had 'Egg Florentine' with toasted turkish bread and sauteed spinach. whoa! I felt so full and I should have just had the continental option.
Convict bricks wall in the restaurant.
From the window I can see "Salamanca" place.

And the water. Must take Hisham and kids here on Friday night someday. Just a short walking distance to the market and boats


"Aurora Australis" - that orange boat.. still there. I wish I have the zoom power like Intan's camera.

Goodbye time at airport

I hope my visitors had an awesome time in Tassie.. Hopefully it won't be their one and only visit

Intang and Ida di kampung ku

One of Intan's wish is to see the river near we live. Unfortunately we got there close to sunset. It is a bit dark and good thing about winter time down that way is that no mosquitoes... (yes we have 'mozzies' in Tassie!)

Bad 'hair' day??

Ida and my kids







There you have it...

Succumbing to Electric Dryer???

Since we've been back to the 'ice box' --- the washing never get the chance to dry. There were a couple of days that the fog didn't even lift (the whole day). I resort to dry 'them' wash on the heaters. But the husband of mine don't really give me full cooperation. He kept taking those 'fire hazards' off the heaters. So... I see some sexy dryer moving into my house soon!

Gosh - I am a bit p***ed off about this, I've survived all this time without one. No hope for carbon foot print eh.
