Oops, nearly exposing the sensitive part of the body. Federation Square.
Without working, I lack incentive to go out getting contents for the blog. With working, I struggle to have time for the blog. Always a dilemma.

I just love her costume like what an Egyptian Queen would have worn
By now, I have learnt from my Spanish blogger friends that these costumes are of central American origins. Mybe the festival parade should be labelled as "Latin Parade".

Someone explained to me why a lot of people don't love wearing masks: westerners love eye masks and oriental wear masks that cover the mouth like Ninjas!

At Dockland, wake boarding competition can be so much fun. However, this district is considered a failure in modern Melbourne development
This picture was taken by an old four third system which is ditched quickly by Olympus. I was so mad for so long when the company did that!
