Happy new year everyone! It's a new year and I can update with new stuff. Came back from Melbourne. Didn't really relax much until the last two days where we decided to drive on the Great Ocean Road. We went horse riding at Blazing Saddles on one day and a sudden decision to try surfing on the next day. Horse riding is fun. Last time I've been on a horse was 14 years ago. Still as fun. It was Zeren's first time. I have to avoid watching him and his horse throttle because not only was it hilarious, I was worried I might fall off the horse of laughter. No offence, Zeren.

Surfing at Torquay was a whole other experience. Waves and conditions were completely new to us. Bigger waves. Stronger wind. More people. Zeren decided to try the bigger waves but he did not succeed. I stayed abit closer as the waves were still big for me. Little did I know the waves were dragging me further out. I looked around and was wondering what the hell am I doing with the professional surfers. Better catch a wave back in. But the waves were just too big so I let them pass. Being on my own, I had my own rollarcoaster experience. The waves that passed, brought me up so high that I was looking down at maybe 7-8 feet off sea level. I've even illustrated it.






























We did get to stand up a few times and then I realised that our boards were slippery cos most of the wax got wiped off at the edges of the car while we were trying to fit two boards into a small car.






























Fun and good times. Didn't get to drive up to Lorne as there was a huge traffic jam. I finally found out what caused the traffic jam. It was the Falls Festival (outdoor concert) at Lorne. I had to find out through my friend's facebook photos. 12 Apostles will always be there. Will post the other photos in later entries.

I think 2009 is going to be a clumpsy or bad luck year for me. Beginning of the year, I broke my own mug, had things flying off my plate, spilled a drink on myself in public, have to deal with that A-hole dude who wanted me to do his painting. Bleah. At least Zeren and I had a successful dinner party. Managed to squeeze 10 of us into the house. Here are the pics. Now I need to go through 26 pages of forms.
