Bali Memorial Coogee Beach

As some of you know I live near Coogee beach in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. This morning I went for a walk to have another look at the Bali Memorial on Dolphin Point, near the Coogee beach. The memorial has had the photos of the victims added to it to mark the third anniversary of this terrible event (12th October 2002). Some of the flowers were still there and it was particularly moving to see tributes from parents of some of the victims.

Today is a study day, as I have another MCSE exam coming up while I am in Hong Kong. Wish me luck because I will need it!

Night Noodles

I finally got my Ipod Nano! It is a thing of beauty. Went to Night Noodles last night, the second time I have been. Night Noodles are part of the Good Food Month celebrations held each October in Sydney. Sydney is so fortunate to have some great events like these. This month is particularly dear to my heart as it involves food. The night was also a great time to catch up with my friend Nicole.

Free Work Lunch (Odd)

The reason I use the above heading is because any sort of free lunch working for the public service in Australia is a little odd.  However, it is a good development and it should be fun. Our fearless leader has also given us half a day off! Time for a bit of study this afternoon, then off to the Night Noodles with some friends.
