Pleasantly Surprised with Virgin Australia Service Canberra-Perth via Sydney

So, I went to Perth last weekend. The last time I flew there was almost 2 years ago. I’ve caught a lot of domestic flights (Virgin and Qantas) on the East Coast, but not coast to coast. I took Virgin from Canberra to Perth via Sydney. On the way back, I took Qantas direct flight from Perth to Canberra. Anyway.. Virgin, budget carrier, no expectation, but.. I was surprised when they fed us on the way to Sydney. Apparently flights between 4pm-7pm, to and from Canberra, Melbourne and...

A taste of Hawaii, part 1

Finally… here’s the hawaii trip post that I promised on twitter over and over again. It’s very late. The trip was completed by mid August 2011. I am already in the middle of planning my next overseas trip. Flights Me and my bunny are very prone to impromptu holiday. One day in April we saw Jetstar having sale to Hawaii, so we bought a return trip for two, Sydney-Honolulu for less than $1500. Bargain! I took sleeping pills (2) on each trip and slept for the better part...

I ain’t no Master Chef but I love to cook..

This is prolly the first time I blog about this particular hobby of mine. But, yea I love to cook. However, I am not a master chef and I am not big on making everything from scratch. I agree it will taste better, more authentic and fresher. Maybe one day I will decide to be a cooking nazi.. but these days.. everyone is busy. Unless I am hosting a party, if meal preparation takes more than 30 mins, I’ll opt for take away. I am happy to wait...

Found! Asian Grocery Shop in Canberra run by Indonesian

I can’t believe it… 3 years and a bit in Canberra, I’ve only found out about this shop. I’ve driven past the street so many times since I live close by but I never look to the side of the street where the shop is until last week or so. When I mentioned it to an Indonesian friend, she said the shop is owned by a fellow Indonesian. So, I made a quick visit earlier this afternoon to check out their stock and prices. Happy to say it carries quite a number of...
