Yes, I'm still alive and yes, there have been a few notable happenings in my usually monotonous Shep life, and yes, I have become crap at blogging, but let's just focus on my little break to Tasmania.
Highlights include
-Raspberry Lattes at Christmas Hill Raspberry Farm
-Long pretty and fun (due to windy roads) drives
-Food, food and food.
-Great company: The Sri Aman duo, Gaya and Puay San
-Vegetarian sausage, spiced gouda and gherkin sandwiches at Wineglass Bay
-Late night Chor-Tai-Ti sessions
-Hanging out with Ta again
-The view from the lookout point at Wineglass Bay
-The spa/jacuzzi bathtub at Gardener's Cottage in Launceston where I put too much lavender bath gel in and was literally swimming in foam with bubbles overflowing around the huge bathtub onto the heated floor
Ok enough... recanting my highlights is making me want to blow off studying for the upcoming med exams and fly off to live a gastronomic life in Tasmania.
But, I shall leave you with two things.
Firstly, PHOTOS (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/chansuelyn/)
Secondly, the poem which we left in the guestbook of Lester Cottage. (All the other entries were boring)
Wandering tourists from Malaysia
Ignorant in the art of lighting fires
But howling winds and magic firelighters
Ignited the fire we so desired.
We can experience the joy of cracking fires
And comprehend how logs can squeal
Ah simple pleasures combined with homely supplies
Made breakfast a delightful meal.
So thank you for our pleasant days
With quaint touches the cottage displayed
Thanks for the maps and guides that showed us the way
Next time we're around, we'd love to stay!

got so much time to write poetry as goodbye?? :P
Well, lets just say that Tasmanian night life, or even night life in the country in general, leaves much to be desired! Also, we had consumed some ale.
Furthermore, we were lamenting the med-induced gradual decline of our grasp on the English Language and it's finer subtleties. (Does the use of the 2 words finer and subtleties together render one redundant? See what I mean!)
The rather horrific flow of our poem bears testament to the above 2 facts.
